I’m also cutting cost with my proton subscription
So, why the bug triggers only with muslc and not other libc ?
I never understood how running a car, even electric one, in such small tunnel was considered safe.
Aside of the fees, another important goal is political freedom against any US sanction on our citizen.

We saw recently that ICC judges were excluded of Visa/Mastercard/... payment system

Re:GitHub cancels Actions price change for self-hosted runners on Thursday December 18, 2025 @07:42AM (#46311945)
Is there good self hosted alternative to github action ? Jenkins should be still good even if old ?
it was greener (grassland, savannas) but definitely not a rain forest. And in fact it was also the same for Arabia. More grassland and savannas than today.

But it was only partial: there was some desert area too. They were just not a large and mostly very dry desert like today.

Well, Russia itself is oil founded (huge part of the budget)
Who needs argument in 2025 ? Just say it is "woke".

Re:You might not need tmux on Friday August 01, 2025 @06:18AM (#44754917)
well after a quick search it exists: it's called tmux control-mode https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Control-Mode

So terminal clients just have to implement this protocol... it's already implemented in iTerm2

Re:You might not need tmux on Friday August 01, 2025 @06:15AM (#44754900)
Yes the clean and efficient alternative would be a session manager "server" running on the server and communicating with the terminal "client" (like kitty) using a more efficient protocol for handling panes/windows/drawing etc...

AFAIK this doesn't exist, so I'm using tmux...

I would like also that devs run their site/apps on downgraded machine/VM so that they can early detect performance issues.
Re:Lua Programming in Lua (first edition) on Friday January 17, 2025 @09:47AM (#42738034)
what's wrong with luajit ? (I never used it)

edit: sorry I should have searched, Luajit only supports up to Lua 5.1

True ! that's why I said medium sized car. :) And I don't use it for commuting to work or go to groceries. So what's remaining needs a car with descent size and range for 2 persons. Best alternative for me would be that a fair car sharing/rental system develop even more so I can ditch my car and only rent the car size I need for the trip.

> If certain people cannot contribute to the Linux kernel

You don't need at all to be an official maintainer to contribute to Linux

Re:On Linux MAINTAINERS file removal of Russian developers on Saturday October 26, 2024 @05:37AM (#41953701)
People should stop to use the term "Russian developers", this attracts a lot of people complaining about Russophobia (either innocently or not...)

They were removed NOT because of being Russian but because of their link to Russian state owned company (also, either legitimately or by mistake...)

I have no problem with families buying large cars. But it's a minority. For example in my country people that buy huge SUVs are mostly retired.
Compared to my medium sized early 2000's European car it is still a monster But yes, sure that compared to an average 2024 american car it is small.

So the future of electric cars is only huge SUV ? It feels like green washing
Re:A Compiler Bug (2023) on Saturday October 05, 2024 @06:07AM (#41748805)
Volatile were buggy in old compiler: https://llvm.org/pubs/2008-10-EMSOFT-Volatiles.html [2008 paper]

Even if compilers are better now, if possible it is better to wrap any IO memory access into ioread/iowrite inline (no cost) functions. This can then be implemented in a way known to be safe for the compiler used. And that can be changed easily in case the architecture or the compiler changes ( yeah abstraction ! )

As linux does for example: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/driver-api/device-io.h...

That's exactly how we were able to go to the moon in 55 years ago. And why it's complicated today. It was of course lot of money. But it was mostly a lot of highly skilled, motivated devoted people doing for an ultimate common goal. Money would not have been sufficient by itself.

Yes ! that is what I do for personal use for years ! (mainly for backups)

Sadly Jenkins is nowadays less and less popular and I'm concerned that it will become an abandon-ware at some point.

If anyone knows good open source alternative it would be great.

Re:Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket powers into space on Wednesday July 10, 2024 @05:37AM (#40925207)
Is the cost difference mostly due by design or also due to much higher production volume and launches for Falcon 9 ?
Not sure if it is geo-related but from western europe it redirects to elsevier.com + login

In what I understand: we don't know for sure, but the suspicions are so high that it more important to act quickly and revert the changes. The community will analyse later what the changes are exactly doing ( less urgent than reverting the changes )
Re:Bedbug panic was stoked by Russia, says France on Monday March 11, 2024 @10:31AM (#39668724)
Bedbugs were spotted in touristic area of France since many years and were slowly growing. Bedbugs were already a real problem and in 2023 became a real concern Mainly due to olympics games coming. But there was absolutely no reason to "panic", just to be concerned and fight the problem. The reason of the panic was social media. And manipulation of social media is just one step ahead.
