I think the idea is that it’s easier to manage your resources in C++ if you write your code using RAII. Linux is mainly C, not C++, which makes resource management a little bit more manual.

Rust however categorically tries to stop these problems from happening in an even stronger way. You can still write bad code in any language, but it’s supposed to be a lot more difficult to get memory corruption.

Not directly, but as other comment has mentioned, it reduces the overall security posture because it could be combined with other flaws known and unknown.

You need to be able to run code on the system that has the bug. The bug is in the netfilter component, in how it’s managed on that system, not in the actual traffic flows.

Yes, that’s right. You cannot have a UAF situation unless you’re using unsafe “escape hatch” tools.

The h265 hardware support is a lot less exciting than you might think. Most hardware that has support to encode it doesn’t even use the hardware encoders anyway because a software encoder produces a significantly better result. I would make sure you have CPU power to handle your transcoding, and I haven’t has any issues transcoding that resolution on my quite old Intel® Core™ i5-4590T CPU @ 2.00GHz.

A Raspi is probably not going to be enough for reliable video transcoding at high resolutions, but I haven’t tried it myself. You certainly have more upgrade path options with a mini-PC while still keeping a low power target.

I agree that distro is not very important if you’re running your services in Docker containers anyway. It’s mostly whatever you find comfortable. My personal recommendation is don’t get too creative unless you enjoy setting up servers. I tend to be conservative in my server OSs.

This will soon be required viewing as part of an American education.

This country is pathetic.

Just hit its ATH as well!

No worries I’ll just rotate into gold. Let’s see what the price is at these days.

God dammit!

That poor humanitarian 😔

Alright, I had me a giggle. You got me.

TIL GNU Affero General Public License is a flavor that closes loopholes that were used to extend open software without actually open sourcing your contributions.

In some countries, corporations and government are basically the same entity. Free countries distinguish between them in a meaningful sense.

This sounds to me more like they had a gripe with a WordPress plug-in and that was about the extent of the issue.

What a disgrace.

Wikipedia needs to leave the US at the least. Billionaires and AI pose a threat to all humans, and Wikipedia is no exception.

I don’t think our governments are going to fall. I do think they are however extensions of corporations and over time are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from business.

Even more broadly, you’re seeing regulatory capture. Money gets whatever rules it wants.

I absolutely love the term clankers. It’s the perfect blend of dystopian cyberpunk and the very real threat of AI.

I like this solution because I can have the need filled without a central server. I use old-fashioned offline backups for my low-churn, bulk data, and SyncThing for everything else to be eventually consistent everywhere.

If my data was big enough so as to require dedicated storage though, I’d probably go with TrueNAS.
