If someone’s self-hosting, I’d be willing to bet they don’t have the same hardened config or isolation that a cloud provider would.

No. Docker containers aren’t a full sandbox. There’s a number of exploits that can break out of a container and gain root access to the host.

Prions and population collapse aside, your cannibal population would eventually succumb to simple nutrient deficiency as the human body can’t synthesize a number of essential vitamins and amino and fatty acids. Without any outside food sources, those nutrients would eventually be completely exhausted.

So if you’re going to start eating people, only eat people who have been a fed a diverse, nutrient-rich diet.

Having just left a job in the crypto space, the venn diagram of crypto bros and vibe coders is a single fucking circle.

These people hop from one hype train to the next like moths to a flame.

Nah fam she’s just setting herself up for her big divorce album so she can stay relevant to the older women.

Yeah, but the malware can just wait for a system upgrade where you sign a new boot image and slip itself in then.

It works for Windows because theoretically only Microsoft would have the signing key and it’s not just sitting on disk somewhere. But then you’re just trusting Microsoft, and also subject to vendor lock-in.

Actually, I would love for you to explain to me how Secure Boot alone would protect someone from any of that. If you want to protect files, you need full disk encryption, not Secure Boot.

Or are you seriously expecting a government-level threat actor to bother to:

1. Sneak into your home while you’re away or asleep;
2. Overwrite your bootloader or UEFI with a rootkitted image of the same version so it’s impossible to tell;
3. Wait for you to boot your computer and enter your disk encryption password, then:
4. Use the rootkit to read the decrypted files off your disk?

That’s the great thing about fascist governments, is they have no need to be that sneaky. They can just change the laws to make whatever you’re doing illegal and jail you until you agree to give up your documents, or simply hit you with a $5 wrench until you tell them the password.

For a home desktop that’s never left unattended with anyone untrustworthy, I don’t see that Secure Boot is worth the effort in setting up.

Given that you have to re-sign the boot image every time you upgrade, any malware already running with root privileges on the machine could easily slip itself into the new signed image.

The best security is not running untrusted software to begin with.

What a coincidence, I just watched the Scrubs episode with the Dr Toilet running gag.

I want to see someone build this so badly.

This guy did something in the same vein but tried to make a musical instrument instead: https://youtu.be/yFIxf2gTg_k

The human body is 70% water. The energy required to evaporate all that would wipe out anything you’d get from combusting the organic matter. And it’s not like they could leave them out back to dry out like seasoning firewood.

That means that somewhere among the stars are planets full of sexy alien babes.

Finally something to live for.

The review I linked quotes 5-8W under load so I’d expect it to be about 10 hours on the Framework 13’s 55Wh battery and about ~15h on the Framework 16’s 85Wh battery.

But it also can’t play a 1080p YouTube video worth a damn so it’s hard to imagine what you’d actually wanna use it that long for.

It is absolutely more of a development board than one meant even for early-bird adopters. The processing power is more on-par with a Raspberry Pi. Here’s a review of another development board using the same processor: https://bret.dk/risc-v-starfive-visionfive-2-review-jh7110/#Geekbench-6

Compare the Geekbench 6 scores to the Ryzen 7040HS in the Framework 16: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/4260192

As the review author explains, Geekbench 6 is a bit unfair to the JH7110 since it’s missing some processor extensions, but even if we pretended it had a similar lead over the Pi 4 as it does on the Unixbench suite, it’d still be an order of magnitude behind the AMD processor.

You’re not really gonna be gaming on this thing, and you might not have a great experience even with normal desktop productivity software. These boards are likely gonna be relegated mostly to compiling code and running tests.

If a future revision is a little more powerful though, it could maybe make for a decent netbook. At just $200 it could also be a pretty good value for the education sector, maybe as a dev board for systems programming courses.

I’ve been boycotting Facebook since before it was cool.

I feel like he missed an opportunity to sneak in Saddam Hussein.

This decade it’s AI, last decade it was outsourcing to the third world. The assault on skilled workers never stops.

Managers who try to replace engineers with AI are probably shitty bosses to work for anyway, because they don’t have a single fucking clue about what the job actually entails.

The only thing those employees lost was their income. I’d move on and never look back.

Fish is a great shell, but whenever I SSH into another machine I end up having to do everything in Bash anyway. So the fact that Fish is so different often ends up being a detriment, because it means I have to remember how to do things in two different shells. It was easier to just standardize on Bash.

I might try daily driving it again when this release hits the stable repos, I dunno.
