The key is forming a team of maintainers.

I'm optimistic.

In case someone wonders why bcachefs is sadly no longer part of the mainline kernel. Start reading here: https://lwn.net/Articles/1027289/

So, they "decided" it's not a derivative and thus can be listened under MIT instead of GPL....

Oh. I was not aware of that

/proc is a Linux thing.
Re:Bcachefs Goes to "Externally Maintained" on Sunday August 31, 2025 @03:12AM (#45081055)
It's amazing how many of the "experts" here don't get that bcachefs != btrfs
Also consider putting Firefox itself into a jail. E.g. using bubblewrap on Linux: https://gist.github.com/richardweinberger/cae9edeafeec4cdf65...

FWIW, the missing source has been released.

politely, yes.
Re:Parsing JSON in 500 lines of Rust on Wednesday February 19, 2025 @01:26AM (#43099179)
I wonder how well it works with heavily nested files. AFAIU, this is a recursive parser.

The title really confused me until I realized this has nothing to do with https://millcomputing.com/ :-)
Re:I miss Vim on Saturday February 01, 2025 @02:11AM (#42896453)
Speaking of helix, does is support vim key bindings? Last time I tried, it was kinda disappointing to be forced to learn a completely key binding set.
Re:XYPlorer Is Written in VB6 on Saturday January 11, 2025 @02:59AM (#42664181)
I wonder how the code looks, it must be a maze of "on error goto" lines to not crash at the slightest error.
Re:XYPlorer Is Written in VB6 on Saturday January 11, 2025 @02:47AM (#42664132)
The program doesn't look like a typical VB6 application, I guess the author draws all UI elements himself?
Re:Linux CoC Announces Decision Wrt Kent Overstreet (Bcachefs) on Saturday November 23, 2024 @02:08PM (#42223028)
No Kent, really.
Re:Linux CoC Announces Decision Wrt Kent Overstreet (Bcachefs) on Saturday November 23, 2024 @12:58PM (#42222348)
I suggest reading the whole mail thread before judging. The CoC decision was the last resort.
Re:The optimised version of 7-Zip can't be built from source on Sunday October 13, 2024 @03:02AM (#41825825)
Don't get me wrong, OSS does not mean it will build in any random configuration on any distro. The source is there. Maybe 7zip could do better, but still...
Perf trace is also worth noting. It was much less performance overhead than strace. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/perf-trace.1.html
