on Flock Offers Employees Buyouts as Customers Flee in c/technology@beehaw.org · 4d ago
Flock has done its part in soaking up public anger at pervasive surveillance, and can now be left to fail. Companies like Axon will step in to the breach, be slightly less obviously awful, and receive much less public pushback.
This isn’t going away until the very governments that benefit from it pass laws against it. For there to be any chance of that happening there has to be even greater public pushback.

I keep seeing post from people making their own clothing brands, but I didn’t know you could bulk order like that. Is there any more information you could share?

Directories are just files if you squint at then right, and sockets are basically files too. As another commenter said, it’s not that everything is literally a file, but that it presents as a file, and can be interacted with as one.

on Peer reviewing is torture now in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 12 Sep 2026
If it can’t be sensibly be reviewed, reject it for that reason. Have them, or their agent, break it down into smaller, self contained, PRs.

If you’re the reviewer you share responsibility if there’s an issue with the PR. Hopefully your teams culture is such that issues like that are treated as a learning experience, rather than a reason to pile on the individuals involved.

That wording has been around longer longer than llms have been spitting out gibberish. I suspect it’s just copy and pasted, preserved like some ancient hieroglyphs that no one can decipher, but which must be kept for future study.

on I hate packaging my software for Linux (fresh) in c/technology@lemmy.world · 31 Aug 2026
It does sound a bit daunting to begin with, but the process is actually fairly straightforward, and once you understand it, publishing your package to your repositories just becomes another step in your build pipeline.

Not really. The user adds the repository to the list of repositories their package manager is using, and the packages in that repository appear as normal packages for them to select. When the author publishes a new version of their package it’ll appear as an update in all users package managers.

Sort of, but each of them uses a different way of making the repository, so really it’s more a case of different repositories in different directories, but they can all be on the same website.

To be fair, he does address why flatpak isn’t really suitable for his package in particular, as it needs to get out of the sandbix flatpak puts it in, which is hacky. None-the-less, it does feel like he’s making a mountain out of a mole hill.

You can put the repositories on pretty much any static hosting. I haven’t tried it, but I’m pretty sure that, with a bit of fiddling, you could even put them on a github pages site.
Both distros have good tooling for maintaining repositories, and I’d say it’s probably easier than getting your package into the official repos and keeping it updated there, especially on distros like Debian which favour stability over having the latest versions of packages.
No distribution system is going to be entirely friction free for the author, but I’ve not encountered any significant issues hosting deb or rpm repos.

No automatic updates for .deb / .rpm
The author seems to have completely missed the point that they can just publish their own repositories to allow users on both of these platforms to update. It would also mean they could avoid the problems they’re having building source packages.
Their complaints about supporting instalations with older libc versions are also addressable by just building against the oldest libc they wish to support.

on New Twitter launches, says Musk's X gave up the name in c/technology@lemmy.world · 27 Aug 2026
it tends to give “good enough” answers which are actually “nowhere near”.
The problem is it’s doing this when coding too. The resulting screed often looks plausible if you only look at it at the surface level, but once you dig in to it, it’s “nowhere near” and usually full of missed conditions on the unhappy path in particular.

on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
The cache usage being higher on a server than a laptop seems fairly likely as more disk accesses are occurring. When data is loaded from disk, the linux kernel will keep it in memory even after the original requester is done with it, on the principal that it might need it again. This is the cache you’re seeing. If the kernel detects high memory utilisation it will free cache pages before anything else, so you actually want to see near 100% memory utilisation all the time, as it means fewer accesses to disk.
The swap usage is harder to diagnose without more detailed diagnostic work, but you can see from the graph you posted that, even what swap is being used, you have a little free memory. This may well be the kernel preemptively moving little used memory pages to the swap cache so tgat they can be evicted from memory quickly if needed. You could investigate thus by adjusting the ‘swapiness’ value closer to 0, to see if that delays the swap usage and reduces the peak.

on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
Seeing high cache and buffer numbers is usually a good sign, as it means the system is making full use of the memory you have. It’ll automatically deallocate it if something actually needs the memory, but until then it’s using it to store data you might need.
Swap’s a funny one, and whilst you can tune it to an astonishing degree, the decisions the kernel makes aren’t always what you’d want. With this little actual memory usage, compared to the installed RAM, you might be able to run without swap at all, unless you want something like hibernate. If you want to test that, you can run (as root)
swapoff -a, which should disable all swap devices, pushing needed pages back in to RAM, but only until you reboot. If it’s stable, you can consider removing the swap partition(s) later. -

I find that a dedicated RSS reader is a much better experience, as, especially when you’ve got a lot if feeds, organising them and keeping track of what you’ve read becomes quite important. If you take your eye off of a chat based system, you’re going to have so many unread messages it’ll be hard to keep up.
