That Capitalism is the only system that has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty is without question. There's simply no alternative system for producing goods and creating wealth at scale to the point that Socialists care more about redistribution now. Socialism as a post-Capitalist...

I too have something of an amphibian nature. I already mentioned that my parents fled the longest right-wing dictatorship in Europe, that of Salazar in Portugal. On my mother's side they went to the USA while on my father's side they went to Venezuela where I was born. Then we all fled the...

I absolutely understand if people don't like politics, but this thread is political. If you don't like politics, ignore threads like these. =/

The Greeks knew about Anacyclosis. I think the evils of universal suffrage could be somewhat mitigated if we take it to its logical conclusion counting children's "votes". Ideally, the parents of N children should have the rights to N more votes.

Capitalism is the only system that has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Wealth is not energy. Wealth can be created and destroyed. When someone creates wealth he's not stealing from anyone. The idea that only labor creates value has long been discredited. See the labor-theory of...

SUSE is not for sale. It's a German company. MicroOS is openSUSE. SLE Micro is indeed used for containers. SLES will continue to support traditional workloads.

Wish it were true. Sigh.

I was aware of the whole drama when it happened. Anduril employs one developer and contributes money. So what? I have nothing against Anduril just because they make some weapons... Si vis pacem, para bellum. I dislike the anti-Chinese stance by its CEO to secure government contracts, though.

Not true. I have a mini-guide to install FreeBSD, NetBSD & OpenBSD multi-boot here: https://github.com/ricardobranco777/howtos/blob/master/BSD/Multiboot.md Last weekend I repeated the whole process on a VM so I could screenshot the whole thing to enhance it in a blog post. I have a mini-PC...

Not true. I think you were just repeating outdated misinformation from the Fediverse. A simple Google search is enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NixOS#Community_controversy

Not true.

If you're on headless setup or if you want to do it remotely you can also take advantage of the BootNext UEFI feature. On FreeBSD you can run efibootmgr as root and then `efibootmgr -n -b $entry`. You can get the entry number like this: $ sudo efibootmgr Boot to FW : false BootCurrent: 0000...

It may be worse: - CVE inflation due to Greg assigning them to trivial commits. - Multiple cases of actual vulnerabilities that don't get assigned a CVE. - The scores are completely bogus and don't reflect the actual impact. - The commit messages for the fixes obfuscate the real thing. - The...

Agree, but most programming is done to solve real-world tasks and there's no virtue in making them works of art. The uncomfortable truth is that LLMs code better than the average programmer. We should adapt and relate to that reality and consider the worst-case scenarios. Burying the head in...

AI is a powerful tool on the right hands. Curious nobody mentioned NextBSD yet: https://nextbsd.org Another BSD project leveraging AI: https://www.5bsd.org

Bash because it lets me do stuff like `cp /etc/passwd{,.bak}`, ranges like {1..3}, lists and associative arrays. Only for root I leave the default Korn shell, C shell, etc. because it's tied to base.

I plan to read on finance & economics, a subject I dismissed in my teens as "materialistic". I'll eventually go back to Carlos Castaneda, Emil Cioran, Borges, Ramos Sucre, Dostoevsky, Guy de Maupassant, etc. One thing is certain: I won't read on political science ever again. Also, I was...

The good things about Mastodon: - There's no endless scroll. - You can actually control your feed. I removed my account because: - It's an echo chamber for people trying to out-left each other. A rage machine. A wannabe Communist bar. - Lots of accounts mirror their content on X anyway.
