The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.

Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)

Sorry for the reddit link, I don’t know of a mirror. This was posted just today, running on an EeePC:

I used Ubuntu from version 8.04 to 18.04 and not once did I have a successful upgrade between major versions. There is always something that gets broken to the point that a reinstall is necessary.

Wait until you see the ones that let you choose between “Accept All” and “Subscribe to monthly plan 4.99/mo”

I saw a website like that the other week and it was based in an EU country.

It’s not reading the contents of RAM via EM emanations, it’s using the EM emanations caused by certain memory access patterns as a side channel to exfiltrate data. Of course, that data could be anything, including whatever is in RAM, but the point is that you need to be running the code that generates the necessary memory access patterns to transmit the bits of data. This is not like TEMPEST where you can reconstruct a video display just using the emanations.

I think for now Forgejo is a drop-in replacement. However since they are a hard-fork, at some point in the future they will diverge enough to be mutually incompatible, so the clock is ticking on migrating.

if I share some rice I made

FYI: rice is derived from a racist pejorative term. A lot of people in the desktop theming community have stopped using it.

Isn’t AdBlock Plus the one that takes money from advertisers to have their ads whitelisted by the ad-blocker?

Fuck this guy.

At first I thought this guy was speaking on behalf of Mozilla, but he doesn’t work for Mozilla.

He works for the US government.

You could try VanillaOS 2.0 Beta which is a Debian-based immutable distro, planned for final release later this year.

This takes me back about 20 years.

That’s kind of true, but MacOS and Mac OSX are 2 different things

Then Windows 3.0 and Windows 11 are two different things, so by that metric you can’t include Windows either.

all the way from 1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows

It’s easy to forget about MacOS when it only has 15% desktop market share.

Operating systems that started before 1991 that are still in active development (had a release in the last 12 months):

• Multics (1969-)
• MVS (1974-) via OS/390 (1995-) -> z/OS (2001-)
• VMS (1977) via OpenVMS (1992-)
• BSD (1978-) via 386BSD -> FreeBSD, NetBSD -> OpenBSD
• HP-UX (1982-)
• SunOS (1982-1994) via Solaris (1992-)
• MacOS (1984-)
• AIX (1986-)
• RISC OS (1987-)

Almost made it:

• Minix (1987-2017)
• Genera (1982-2021)
• AmigaOS (1985-2021)
• NeXTSTEP (1987-1997) via GNUStep (1993-2021)
• IBM i (1988-2022)
• SpartaDOS (1988-2022)
