Yes, it was a stroke of genius to label their mediocre confectionery as “coffee”, although it can lead to near fatalities when someone who’s only ever had Starbucks encounters real coffee for the first time.

Still, my point stands. That website is like 20% useful content, 40% flair, and 40% wasted space.

That website is atrocious. It’s the web design equivalent of shoving five kilograms of sugar and whipped cream in a cup of coffee.

He’s covered many topics that involve heat pumps, the refrigeration cycle, or latent heat in some capacity. The joke is that he somehow always ends up explaining the refrigeration cycle.

Did somebody mention heat pumps?

The highest address of a subnet is the broadcast address. You can’t assign it to a host.

I might be able to snag that same model with an i5-6500 for around 60€. Could you tell me more about your experience with it? In particular, how are the thermals and the power consumption, can it handle 1Gb/s on both ethernet ports, and have you encountered any compatibility issues with OPNsense?

The borrow checker is a feature in the compiler. It only ensures that the source code doesn’t violate its rules at compile time, and if it does, stops the compilation and shows an error message. If the borrow checker is disabled, the code will be compiled even if borrowing rules are violated (as long as the source code is otherwise valid).

In short: removing the borrow checker turns Rust into C.

It’s that damn borrow checker again! Try the rust-- compiler, it disables that antifeature.

what eBPF does

Holy shit, that’s like curl | sudo bash on steroids. Fucking hilarious.

The problem is not the high-level solution. If the anti-cheat does what they claim – great.

If.

The problem is that EACv2 itself is unverified machine code running with elevated privileges. Unless the source code is released, it will be impossible to know what kinds of shenanigans it engages in. It demands that users trust it implicitly, along with the people and clankers that wrote it, the mistakes they made, and the people and interests they are beholden to.

Trust should be earned, and the fact that people have been indoctrinated to give it away freely should be deeply concerning to everyone.

Since your last post here, a new rule has been introduced. You must disclose AI usage in both the title and in the post body.

Hmmm… do I want to run unverified code in my kernel from the “Programming is too hard!” guys?

A year ago? People called it eight years ago with the Anthem disaster that Dragon Age 4 would be the studio’s last chance. BioWare was already dead, this is just the merciful last bullet.

I have no experience with MAUI, I only heard that it was cross-platform.

Then what other toolkit has stable .NET bindings on both Linux and Windows? This might become relevant to me professionally in the near future.

Adding dependencies, adding complexity, adding points of failure… not to mention that the first sentence in the readme literally says it’s an experimental project. Not something that a production software should ever be built upon.

Except Mono implements the Windows-only .NET Framework, but PDN targets .NET 9. I have no idea how those two could be used at the same time for different parts of the app, what kinds of issues may arise from it, or if it can be done at all. Again, it sounds simple, but it never is.

compiling it for .NET on Linux

It always sounds so simple for the layperson. Just looking through the list of DLLs in the portable ZIP, PDN uses Windows Forms (System.Windows.Forms namespace), which, as far as I understand, isn’t included in the cross-platform releases of .NET. They’d have to rebuild the entire UI with .NET MAUI or some other cross-platform toolkit. Then there are lots of other bundled libraries that may or may not work in a .NET-on-Linux environment.

Releasing and then supporting a second platform is never as easy as just compiling the executable. Figuring out the quirks and differences of various systems, especially one as heterogenous as the Linux ecosystem, is a drain on resources that small development studios often can’t afford. Raiguard (hallowed be his name), one of the developers of Factorio, and the person who is single-handedly maintaining the Linux-native build, wrote a blog post about its challenges.

No disrespect to OP (maybe a little disrespect), but this is an extremely first-world problem.

They’re indulging in their secret vim addiction they picked up after someone convinced them to try evil-mode.
