I'll be (re-)running @CERT_AM and I need some help from our international community in regards to 1) Training 2) Funding 3) Co-operation If your CERT/company is open for that, please let me know! (I'll add the details below) #InfoSec #CERT #CyberSecurity #Armenia

@xpi Yes, its a bit different than what I used to do for the last 10+ years, but, I think for once this change will improve our lives in the long run.

@xpi make -C /usr/src -j “$(nproc)” packages then I like to run a package server using nginx, pointing to the repo dir location / { root /usr/obj/usr/src/repo; autoindex on; } Finally add the package repo to all your machines and do pkg upgrade.

Yes. I remember our landline number, the cell number of my mom, dad, mine from 15 years ago, I also remember my crush’s phone number, and her MSN messenger username.

Does anyone who grew up before social media still remember their parents’ landline number??!

For decades(?) we laughed at the hacker-news commenters who felt they could build Dropbox in a weekend. We knew that engineer was confusing the ability to write a POC with an actual enterprise-ready solution. AI now lets everyone be that engineer.

@TheWizardTower Productive? hell yes. Fun to write? fuck no. The syntax of Rust was made by people who thought that C++ had a good syntax or something. I want a language syntax that’s boring. minimal number of features please.

I must be the only person that considers Rust highly productive, even compared to Python. Even jumping from Haskell, I felt like I had enough of the things in the language that gave me joy to put up with the syntax and extra ceremony around memory management/the borrow checker. And, as a bonus, my app was *much* faster than I expected, which was wonderful.

Is Rust actually slow to write? Not if you’re used to C++. Most people who call Rust "highly productive" are looking at it next to older systems languages. In that world, Rust wins every single time.

@thdxr P.S. also, why the fuck is that hard anyway? if you use something as simple as FPC, Lazarus or Delphi, you press a button (or change a flag) and it just cross-compiles for a whole other platform.

@thdxr let me take you a step further my friend: there are even more Unix-like operating systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, HardenedBSD, illumos. Who, by design, are more technical than all of the macOS/Linux/Windows people, combined.

@RhysSullivan Homeserver. @garrytan just needs a home server. But he’s been living in his bubble for so long, he probably doesn’t even know how to run a desktop as a server at home, like everyone used to back in the 90s and yearly 2000s.

@tseliosss @vermaden a proper file system, better life cycle, better licensing for large-size organizations, much better packaging and better release tools. Yes, FreeBSD is actually better. Hell, illumos is even better than FreeBSD in most cases, but I use FreeBSD because performance.

English

a@tseliosss·2 Şub

@vermaden When I say "replacing Linux" I mean in the industrial sector. Linux has a monopoly there. This comment will be posted using Linux. Which is better? To each their own. But I don't think FreeBSD has any advantage over Debian for example, and feel free to prove me.

English

vermaden@vermaden·2 Şub

I replaced Linux with FreeBSD in 2005 ... and used it since on laptops/desktops/servers. That is 21 years straight now. I work on it daily. Do conferences. Pay taxes. Print. Scan. Play games. But yes - keep living under stone thinking that Linux is better then FreeBSD :)

a@tseliosss

@bitpyrit3 @phoronix I can name three: NetBSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Take your pick, none come even remotely close to replacing Linux.

@alt_Psymon @vermaden The list is so long and the conversation is so deep that I can use a shitty social media site for that. The least that I can say is: DTrace, Jails, ZFS, complete OS, proper documentation, proper release tools. But I can get deep about those topics for 30 mins each, at least.

alt_Psymon@alt_Psymon·2 Şub

@vermaden Sell me on FreeBSD over Linux, and I mean that genuinely, not sarcastically. I'm curious what makes someone choose to use that instead. What does it do that Linux doesn't that wins you over? What about Linux made you prefer BSD?

I saw a junior developer create a microservice using ChatGPT in 30 seconds. I asked one question: What happens to the data if the other service is down for 10 minutes? He didnt know. The AI didnt explain backpressure. It didnt explain idempotency. It didnt explain dead letter queues. Writing code is easy now. But Engineering is still hard.
