Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
So I don't even use systemd myself I run OpenRC. Yet honestly I find the idea quite intriguing, having the service manager (PID 1) invoke the command seems like a cool idea to me.
It's not really a sudo alternative as much as it is another way of doing something similar.

Bring Karma back from reddit (if you want, no hard feelings pls), but without toxicity (maybe)!
Karma inherently breeds monotony and circlejerking. When people "farm" for fake internet pointe by appealing to the oppinions of everyone else it leads to people just expressing one "right" (popular) oppinion.
I think we are fine without a karma system, but if you like it go ahead and use the extension. I'm happy I don't have to worry about karma, and worst of all, karma minimums on communities here.

Hey LKW fahrer hier, mach gerade meine 45 Minuten Pause (-;
LKWs haben zwar tote Winkel Spiegel und ich muss sagen dass ich darin eigentlich bis jetzt immer alles sehen konnte (fahre erst seit ein paar Wochen), aber rechts habe ich 4 Spiegel, da geht schnell mal was unter oder man wird (leider) faul, so wie manche PKW Fahrer keinen Schulterblick machen. Habe bei meinen Einschulungsfahrten Fahrer gesehen, die garnicht erst in die Spiegel geschaut haben beim abbiegen. Der Warner in den LKWs meiner Firma piepst automatisch wenn er bei eingeschlagenem Lenkrad oder Blinker was erkennt, so ist man zumindest aufmerksam wenn doch mal etwas rechts neben dem Auto ist.
Tote Winkel gibt es aber zumindest auf jeden fall direkt hinter dem LKW, da gibts auch keine Spiegel für. Wundert mich manchmal selbst wenn aus dem nichts ein Auto zum überholen ansetzt das ich hinter mir garnicht kommen sehen konnte.
Sonst ist eigentlich alles gut durch Spiegel abgedeckt. Trotzdem bitte vorsicht rechts neben und direkt vorm LKW. Kein Fahrer fährt euch gerne an.

Your eye does rotate!
Look at your eyes in the mirror and rotate your head, look on the veins in your eye and you will see that your eye tries to stay parallel to the ground.
In humans it is just much less obvious due to our round pupils.

I had the absolute pleasure to sit in BOTH of these Panthers at Innsbruck airport last year.
They even startet the engines and drove out of the hangar with us inside and gave us a little water salute. Absolute pleasure, I felt like a little kid!
I do have a video of the spray, sadly there were many people around and I don't want to show their faces. Needless to say these things shoot water like a rocket!

What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?
Reply in thread
Also tiktok really only makes sense with a big algorithm knowing what users want to see. Even if you were to follow many people, with the average video being only about 30 seconds long you won't have much content to enjoy. The whole short form video thing is kinda built on knowing what your user likes and doesn't. I don't know how you could design such a platform without some privacy concerns.

Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments?
If I develop anything with a GUI I use GTK4. It has a bit of a learning curve to it but honestly I've come to like it.
I am currently creating a program for simulating networks and the drawing area is great for drawing the actual simulation because it basically allows you to have a cairo area as a widget so your possibilities there are basically unlimited and cairo is just a great drawing API.
Also gtk is basically the only modern GUI toolkit that can be used with C, which is great because it is pretty much the only language I know well enough to program a big application with. (But GObject still feels like black magic to me)

Tearing protocol merged for XWayland. Wayland gets closer to being suitable for gaming purposes
I habe been gaming on wayland for over a year and haven’t noticed any difference.
Maybe in super competitive games you may notice something but for the average gamer I think wayland has been viable for gaming for a rather long time.

Is gentoo a good choice?
I am running gentoo on 4 different systems currently.
Setup can be a bit of a hustle, especially on exotic hardware (one of my devices is a Pine64 Quartz64) but once it’s running maintenance isn’t that big of a deal, an emerge —sync && emerge -avdu @world per week generally is all the maintenance I do.
Also if you want to learn about linux there is probably no better way except LFS which will not leave you with a system you can easily use in day to day work.
I say give it a shot if you have the time and are willing to learn and troubleshoot!

IIRC it comes with a firmware called InfiniTime preinstalled. So I guess that one.

I was the same, but I recently gave zig a try, it's lovely to write.
Managed to segfault the compiler though, so maybe not quite ready yet.

Andries Brouwer on the OOM killer
Reply in thread
You will always need some sort of oom killer unless you have endless memory (or swap space, which comes with its own problems in the form of grinding your system to an almost halt). Imagine all memory is in use, then some system critical task (or even the kernel itself) needs memory as well. If the kernel can't kill a less important process to free memory in such a situation you might just crash your system.

Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
I bought myself a quartz64 model a from pine64 (my instance is hosted on there) when it came out. It has a sata port but no sata power.
Turns out SATA SSDs only use the 5v part of the sata power connector so i took a sata power cable from an old PSU and an old usb cable and soldered the 5v line of the sata connector to the usb power. Look like crap and I fully expected shit to blow up but it somehow works really well.
(No I did't have electrical tape)

Nur noch dieses Monat, dann bin ich zurück in meinem alten 9 bis 17. Echt respekt an alle die das Langfristig machen, habe jetzt nicht mal ein Jahr Schichtdienst gemacht und fühle mich 10 Jahre älter. Habe gedacht ich bin 20, da geht das noch, aber ehrlich, das Geld ist es nicht wert.
