Specifically on the AI side, how does it compare to beads?

Just looking at the features, this is pretty cool!

In my experience GLM 5.1 has been excellent when paired with IDA Pro (DeepSeek v4 pro comes in close second, Kimi straight up refuses). Claude can only do reverse engineering if you throw it into some sort of hero/saviour mode then gradually pivot into red team (though it gets easily tripped).

It has been the same for Sonnet/Opus 4.6 for sometime. It will straight up refuse to work on anything in the grey area. Chinese models will happily do anything; On my tests, GLM 5.1 comfortably bypassed a multi-player game's anti-piracy/anti-cheats check with some guided steering.

Compromised accounts. The malware targeted ~/.git-credentials.

I used XFCE (MxLinux) for 5 years until recently when I moved to KDE Plasma (Fedora) because of Wayland support. Imo, KDE is better and more resource efficient. I also got a free 10 fps boost on DotA 2 on the same hardware and settings. Zed and a lot of other apps are better supported on Wayland.

At this stage I don't think either is better over the other. Deno has inexplicable high memory usage issues in Linux containers. Bun more or less suffers from the same with an added dose of segfaults.

Node.js is a no-brainer for anyone shipping a TS/JS backend. I'd rather deal with poor DX and slightly worse performance than risk fighting runtime related issues on deployment.

Linux needs to be a first class citizen for any runtime/langauge toolchain.

1 word: AGPL-3.0

Offer a dual license model if needed. People may fork, but I'd say its still worth it.

There is a movie by the name Shilling From Heaven around this, you can find a link in our blog post https://grassecon.substack.com/p/worglhtml. Our initial work at Grassroots Economics was inspired by this. We even have a smart contract that implements this idea (demurrage/Gesell tax) in it https://github.com/grassrootseconomics/erc20-demurrage-token.

F-Droid are in the FA stage of FAFO. If they don't reverse this, they will find themselves in the FO stage. Anyone can hold the opinion that "religion or its texts are ruinous" but you can never apply it in practice in a liberal democracy (even in secular states) simply because religious and expression rights are legally protected.

Don't moral police people especially on something that is as controversial as this.

New comment by kamikazechaser in "Forgejo: A self-hosted lightweight software forge"

kamikazechaser — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 07:10:25 +0000

I'm not sold on Forgejo as a better alternative to Gitea. The Forgejo fork was completely unnecessary. The trigger behind the fork was the Forgejo authors tried to add their own copyright header into a patch contributed back to Gitea. They (Forgejo/Codeberg) followed it up with a lot of misinformation on FOSS e.t.c. some of which is still on their Gitea comparison page that ended up fracturing the community.

Some Codeberg admins had at some point threatened to blanket ban certain types of projects, notably anything slightly related to blockchain tech and that has always made me cautious of their site.

UnknownCheats. I'm active there and it has one of the best resources on this kind of stuff. I'm more interested in how Linux userspace Anti-cheats works notably VAC.

New comment by kamikazechaser in "The race to replace Redis"

kamikazechaser — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 17:34:14 +0000

SSPL that is now adopted by Redis >7.4.2 is a fork of AGPL and adds one more extra clause that makes it more difficult to run any competing product.
