- Comment on WebStorm and Rider Are Now Free for Non-Commercial Use 3 weeks ago:
As a C# developer on Linux, I wish this was more true than it is. Working on a multi project dotnet solution in VSCode is still far behind Visual Studio / Jetbrains Rider.
Its also worth pointing out that the more you add to VSCode, the slower it becomes. If you add the toolkits to make it compete with Jetbrains products, it isn’t nearly the same lightweight editor anymore.
- Comment on WebStorm and Rider Are Now Free for Non-Commercial Use 3 weeks ago:
Won’t speak to Webstorm, but hard disagree when it comes to Rider. VSCode/Zed really fit into an entirely different category from Jetbrains IDE’s. Lightweight editors vs full fat development environments. There are use cases for each.
- Comment on Mini PC for Jellyfin 2 months ago:
FWIW: I’m running jellyfin and a whole host of other services on a Beelink with an Intel n95 and 8gb of ram. Runs like a champ.
- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
Because even if an attacker could gain access even as root he cannot modify system files.
Your comment was already from the position of if an attacker could gain root access. My responses were to that directly, and nothing else.
- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
Your comment also contained
The filesystem itself is also read-only.
Which is what led to the further discussion of root making that not so.
I don’t believe that to be the intent of the OP’s comment, given their second sentence, but they are welcome to state otherwise. I just don’t want them thinking that an immutable distribution gives them some kind of bulletproof security that it doesn’t.

The original context for the comment chain was:
Because even if an attacker could gain access even as root he cannot modify system files.
So no, it’s completely relevant.
- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
Someone with root can run ostree admin unlock --hotfix to make /usr writable. Someone with root can also delete all restore points.
It would be strange for them to call it that if it actually means “completely irrelevant from a security perspective”.
See the comment by superkret.
- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
An attacker escaping from a container can’t be system root as Podman runs rootless (without some other exploit or weak password).
That would be true of podman running anywhere, and is not unique to an immutable distribution. This is also clearly not what they are talking about.
The filesystem itself is also read-only.
You can change that real quick if you have root access.

They 100% can.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
The “down” was definitely edited after the fact.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
Thanks! Not quite as wild as I was expecting (kind of surprised this was enough to push them to delete their account)
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
Do you have any sources for this?
- Comment on What NAS to get for running plex and is there anything I should know? 11 months ago:
I personally combine lower end NAS boxes with 4x4 mini PC’s. I like the separation of concerns, as well as the tiny footprint.
- Comment on Games with characters you miss most after completion. 11 months ago:
Cyberpunk had some really strong characters/acting/writing. I’m finding it hard to get excited by other games lately because they just don’t measure up the same.
- Comment on I accidentally removed the WHERE clause from my SQL query in a personal tool. Every row is now the same. I lost everything, have no backup, and I'm stupid. 1 year ago:
MySQL (and by extension, MariaDB) has an even better option:
mysql --i-am-a-dummy
- Comment on Is RackNerd reliable? 1 year ago:
I use a VPS from RackNerd for all kinds of things (my personal Lemmy, for one). Have had it for two and a half years or so with no complaints.
- Comment on Introducing ONCE, a new line of software products from 37signals: Pay one time, own forever. 1 year ago:
Few issues:
- What is being made? Can’t really care about it without having some idea
- What makes this company’s version of it worth our interest?
- How is it better than the FOSS solutions that in this day and age almost definitely already exist
- Why are we to put our faith in this group for pay once software when their two major products are SaaS?
- Comment on Why Linux is better for (most) developers! 1 year ago:
True, but he mentions .NET development is Windows first, and even mentions that you have “some IDE’s that work with it, like Rider”. He kind of said it without mentioning the specific IDE.
Rider is the real MVP anyways.
- Comment on MS to update Windows every 3 years 1 year ago:
even shamed one user in my team to switch from Windows to Mac and after the first month he was relieved everything just ran, and he had a real terminal …
It’s so strange that Windows users don’t see how welcoming our communities are.
- Comment on Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE 1 year ago:
It’s selling itself as more than an IDE. The idea is to have templates for common languages/frameworks. Ideally, this would mean not having to learn how to init a project in a given framework, not having to learn the build tools, not having to learn deployment, ci/cd, etc. Just open this new webapp, pick a framework, develop, and click a “launch” button to have it spin up in GCP.
- Comment on Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE 1 year ago:
I imagine they mean launching in more of a release sense (IE: Announcing the launch of new app XYZ). I sure hope so, anyways.
