I’m not sure why people keep pushing that myth on C++. It’s been a decade we have smart pointers. There’s no memory management to be done ever.
Using the old ‘new’ is like typing ‘unsafe’ in rust. Even arrays/vectors have safe accessor.
Am I missing something?
Are we codeberg yet?
They won’t go to jail, period. No company owners never go to jail, kinda ever. This phrase is out of proportion. At worse they would have a fine.
Also still in the blog everything is words and very opaque like " We do this not only through technology and advocacy (Proton has contributed over $500,000 toward defending these values around the world)" : like where, what, when?
“There was no legal possibility to resist or fight this particular request.” : I doubt very much unless Switzerland is a dictatorship in disguise.
“Switzerland generally will not assist prosecutions from countries without fair justice systems.” : clearly not.
You can search it online : I don’t know any good media so here’s the first result on DuckDuckGo https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/6/22659861/protonmail-swiss-court-order-french-climate-activist-arrest-identification
It is a nice PR but for me I am not impressed. Rolex is also a non profit organization in Switzerland and and mostly help hiding there finance.
Correct me if I am wrong but all I see is words and promises. I would trust them if they release the yearly finance transparently.
For now the only act I can judge them on is their collaboration with police to give ecologist activists IP.
Justin Pot is no expert but expert on writing.
Interesting, it’s sad that for me the search is quiet garbage and feed me with result based on my IP/location and I couldn’t find a option to change that like DDG does.
Never heard of bonfire, I really need some kind of tech news to explain and review those kind of things. I spend few minutes reading some of this “micro-bloging” thing. I’d like to see/understand concrete application. Is this mastodon-like small messages use?
I don’t like it being HTTP based and TLS (certificate?), nor I am a fan of flutter and the other 70-ish dependencies (https://github.com/localsend/localsend/blob/main/app/pubspec.yaml).
KDEConnect is great and does way more than file sharing, I’ll stick with that.
On top of the fact that those previews are annoying as hell as other comments pointed out, I want to add that this kind of feature also uses a fair amount of processing + memory.
I think that is a nice opt-in feature for those who wants it but I like my default light and simple.
Thanks for the link, I knew hyperbola for many years from afar. Reading this gave me a lot more insight on the project. I find it very cool and pushing toward better software like GNU, openBSD and suckless.
Nothing is perfect but for server this distribution could be a nice option . I’d love to see an arm version of it. I guess RISC-V would also be a perfect match for them
It really has the vibe of an hbomberguy video. I also feel the background is a subtle tribute to his style.
They just don’t want to watch it. Length is not really an argument.
That could be a nice way. Sadly it was in a C++ code base (using tensorflow). Therefore no such nice things (would be slow too). I skill-issued myself thinking a struct would be 0 -initialized but MyStruct input; would not while MyStruct input {}; will (that was the fix). Long story.
Took me 2 hours to find out why the final output of a neural network was a bunch of NaN. This is always very annoying but I can’t really complain, it make sense. Just sucks.
We always had. Many people wrote personal notes/letters in cryptic ways to prevent unwanted readers from deciphering it.
Imagine a word where we would teach children not to make their own cypher because this is illegal. What a distopian society.
Celeron is x86 and quiet bad at its job as far as I have always seen. Benchmark would be nice.
Spending 3000$ to assemble a PC and installing TrueNas as is not new nor informative to me. I’m not a huge fan of rich people spending thousand of dollars building a power hog a call it a nice NAS.
The post would be more interesting if, at least, it would show the assembling (not stolen photos) and the software settings. For a really interesting post I would like to see a before/after benchmark of performance and power consumption.
I don’t think any server, especially self hosting should be CISC based like x86 architecture but RISC like arm or RiSC-V. The power usage is a order of magnitude less. Also really building yourself would probably cost hundreds and not thousands of dollars.
And C++, just checked the wiki and the 2 example of openssh’s heartbleed and sudo, both in C. Not C++. As expected.
