I use Signoz for my private purposes, it's not a 100% match, but you can do Prometheus metrics, logs analysis, dashboards, alerts, OTEL spans so depending on your usecase it can be enough

Or meson is a serious alternative to cmake (Even better than cmake imho)

If the GDPR is simplified, the fines should be drastically raised. (At least for companies) E.g. to minimum 20% of the global last years revenue, for bigger companies (FAANG-Scale) to minimum 70% of the revenue. The GDPR must make companies afraid of breaking the law.

New comment by JCWasmx86 in "Packaging Swift Apps for Alpine Linux"

The biggest symbol of a statically linked swift binary that I have, is icudt_swift65_dat with 27.98MB, so I think that's not so easy to remove (nm v3.1.2 --size-sort --radix=d|swift demangle) And I think if you strip debuginfo it will be smaller (For a statically linked program of mine: 98MB -> 56MB)

But I think for a distribution it makes more sense to link swift programs dynamically against the runtime libraries, like it's the case for e.g. the C standard library, OpenSSL etc., as you can assume they all work with the same version and are ABI-compatible.

I tested it with a nearly static build (Still links against glibc and friends): 55MB get stripped to 44MB, so not that much. 27MB of that is icudt_swift65_dat, so I guess you would have to optimise that first

Yes, but people still have the right to say "Pay us $X and ensure safe working conditions or we strike" Tesla can either withdraw or negotiate. Nobody's right is infringed here, it's just free market. Especially as usually the workers have it worse than companies.

One is a business decision, the other one is people exercising their rights.

You can do that with m3u8 files. This is done for example by Pluto TV. Sure it is easily circumvented by simply stripping out these URLs, especially if they are marked as ads (And removing a m3u8 tag)

But in the end it would be again an arms race of adblockers and Google, so it would change basically nothing.

Wouldn't even be checking Microsoft's server be an unnecessary connection? You could argue, that VSCode would still work, as updates are basically optional and could be triggered manually, too

It's easy to install on ArchLinux and Fedora. The build process seems to be just standard CMake, so calling it "borderline impossible" is really a stretch.

A lot of editors have available integrations for Shellcheck. VSCode and IntelliJ have a plugin, GNOME Builder comes with the plugin included, etc.

JCWasmx86 — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 06:08:13 +0000

This really makes me reconsider buying an iPhone instead of some android phone in the future.

The only thing left is that jail-breaking an iPhone seems to be harder than rooting an android phone.

It's just a liability and risk. Imagine you have some mission-critical system written in such language, the vendor goes bankrupt or creates absolutely unacceptable terms. Then you have a problem.

Sure if something similar happened to an open-source project, you would still have to either hire engineers to work on the compiler/tooling/language or to rewrite it in a more supported language, but I would consider it a little less riskier as you aren't dependent on one vendor

New comment by JCWasmx86 in "The EU's war on behavioral advertising"

JCWasmx86 — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 16:59:07 +0000

No, you just have to follow the regulations. It's no "war on US companies" or anything like that. They wrote some good law (Albeit it has a few weaknesses), and enforce it now. And if you want to do business in the EU, you have to follow them.

I would say it's more a problem of the US companies, if they can't do business without violating EU regulations.

Would you say buying e.g. a Mac mini for 2.3k€ just to run Asahi Linux is worth it?

Yeah agreed. They will simply continue to violate the GDPR. If the last years global revenue was 116 Billion USD, the fine should be at least 200 Billion. Otherwise companies just will see the fine as cost of doing business.

Maybe something like gitweb? https://git-scm.com/docs/gitweb

I have not used it before, but it seems like it follows your requirements (Except auth using SSH keys maybe, but that could be a task for e.g. Nginx)

Does it respect DNT headers? If no, it does not respect users.

New comment by JCWasmx86 in "Microsoft plugging more ads into Windows 11 Start Menu"

JCWasmx86 — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 17:36:12 +0000

I recently installed Windows 10 in a VM to port a program to Windows (Was a horror story). On the left side in the start menu I have ads and other crap: "Trending searches", "Trending videos from the web", "Games for you", "Trending news" and some other stuff like a reminder for the International day for Monuments and Sites.

On the right side I have a weather/news widget from some really shady or local newspapers about "celebrities", a lot of clickbait, stock data etc.

And obviously the first time I opened Edge I was greeted with some annoying banner, that I should login etc.

A default installation of an OS should only come with the bare amount of software necessary. If they had asked: "Do you want to have news/recommendations? - Yes/No,never ask again" it would be really okay as there was no forced consent, but installing it by default is simply a bad decision. (From a users' perspective, it probably makes sense from a corporate perspective as otherwise they wouldn't do it)

Companies should really accept a "No" from their users. No I don't want to use a microsoft account just to use my computer. (Without jumping through hoops) Don't ask me again the moment I say "No".

You can see the same with all those dialogs that only have "Yes, do $THING" and "Remind me later".
