- Comment on Is there a practical reason a lot of FOSS project don't offer torrent downloads or is it just a stigma thing? 4 days ago:
ah, so Distribution bandwith naturally matching number of users requesting.
I’m not sure if we are as bandwith constrained anymore
- Comment on Is there a practical reason a lot of FOSS project don't offer torrent downloads or is it just a stigma thing? 4 days ago:
Torrents have little to offer when you aren’t pirating bulky media files. And don’t track frequent release versions, code repos, or integrate with distribution packaging ecosystems.
Is there any practical reason they would offer torrent downloads?

this round trips the entire file body on every mutation?
What happens if two concurrent mutation requests come in?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
federated filters built by user-submitted signals collected by their clients.
E.g. you add the “SuperBotAway” plugin, you flag bottish activity, your flags are aggregated with other SuperBotAway users and a model is trained, server operators or users may choose to deploy SuperBotAway-CommunityFilteringModel-20251210
But it’s going to be a very hard problem, especially without the global view a centralized operator has, And with the communities desire not to reveal every posters, IP address and other meta-data.

Did you make a similar comment to OP, who only spoke negatively of a well-used and well-understood system?
What is OP’s proposed alternative? What’s a realistic plan to get there?

There is no voting system that fulfills all the Condercet criteria; they all have some corner case

soldering fumes are not lead, they are rosin. Those fumes can still be an irritant

i use nitrile gloves and am careful about solder debris; often doing the work on a piece of cardboard I can discard. I don’t sweep debris onto the floor or blow it away.

RF ICs (MMICs) may have Beryllium Oxide ceramic packages - if broken/shattered/ground the dust is very toxic.
You may find mercury bulb switches. Not dangerous unless broken, but keep them out of the hands of unaware people.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 month ago:
Certain minimum knowledge is required if you don’t want to be low hanging fruit for criminal botnet operators who will use your system to launch attacks.
You can’t also beg/complain about tools “made for you” not existing - if they’re not already there, it may mean the problem can’t be reduced to appliance-user level.

Also, get an Instant Pot. You can quickly make stock using pressure cooking, then can sauté onions/celery/garlic, then pressure cook dry beans without soaking (using your fresh stock), and then use the rice cooker mode to make perfect rice.

i’m sorry, but it will not ruin your social life if people find out you’re a virgin.
Adults grow out of that hyperfixation on perceived group approval - but it probably doesn’t even matter in high school. Adults don’t ask each other about this stuff. It sounds like some manosphere incel BS.
Question: how old are you?

Full unix mode is probably easier than working up some kind of sandboxing mechanism that accepts arbitrary scripts/binaries.

- Comment on What options of resistance are programmers creating to not submit to AI culture? 2 months ago:
they are not good at consistently following best practices or architectural instructions. So you have to have some kind of hierarchical goal/context scope framework - But then the high-level goals actually need to be reasoned about, which LLMs don’t do, so efforts to make the framework analyze/plan/reflect In order to select and sub divide those top goals fail.
I have to fight with Claude to get it to just do three or four back-and-forth questions with me to establish the actual requirement instead of dumping 1000 lines of irrelevant code (And an MD document, and a usage guide, and an test suite) that ignores guidelines I had already given it.
