Wish to try something on my old Samsung S21. Too bad GrapheneOS supports only Google hardware. Will they de-Google on this front?

I remember pretty well when people were telling that 96kbps MP3's were indistinguishable from the real thing and citing double-blind "studies". Then they moved to 128kbps and continued saying the same thing. They increased it later to VBR & 320kbps. I can distinguish between 320kbps MP3 &...

I also have this rule and that's why I'm proud of having removed the last bit of Reiserfs from FreeBSD. But in the case of Ladybird I think the person in question has been the target of character assassination and we should avoid perpetuating it. Wrt Firefox, I think the whole thing it's being...

I use them for: - Wild prototyping. - Skeleton of test cases. - Interpreting the output of smartctl lol.

NetBSD did it with LVM. Shouldn't be hard to adapt to FreeBSD.

I'm very optimistic about this release because of the accelerated development of WiFi and general laptop support to catch up with Linux.

pkg supports plugins. The snapshot functionality in openSUSE's zypper is also done via a plugin.

Why not? Illumos does it. openSUSE does it for Btrfs with Snapper.

There's also the option to donate with Bitcoin.

My .bash_history is the most precious data I have. I'm always careful to backup this one. And never forget to increase HISTSIZE. "Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it".

It's already changing as we speak. Like Lenin said: "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen." And I'm optimistic it's changing for the better in most areas.

You can donate to NetBSD. They haven't made it to $50k this year. https://www.netbsd.org/donations/#how-to-donate

Linux distros can do this as well.

APT Rust requirement raises questions https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1046841/82fd571576b449de/

Another one bites the Rust: https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/

You're not wrong. For Go tests there's https://github.com/cweill/gotests to generate the skeleton. I think I experienced the whole spectrum of reactions towards LLM's except for the true believer. From outright rejection to agnosticism I'm now open to only the best models helping with review...

To me, Rust just doesn't belong in the Linux kernel, BSD, Illumos, etc. Rust devs hate C so much that they won't be the ones maintaining all the code needed to glue C & Rust. But I think that Rust devs are just wired differently. I think Rust may be good for graphics drivers and stuff. But...

LLM's can be useful to generate skeleton test code and help with review. A blanket ban would be misguided.
