if anyone is aware of a dedicated server provider leasing AMD EPYC servers with a mellanox connectx-5 NIC, please let me know

the reported version of a server software is not necessarily indicative of it being vulnerable to an exploit or not, the software may have had a fix backported or had been deployed in a configuration where the vulnerability wasn’t relevant.

reporting something based on just a version string and writing a clickbait article about how the person ignored you is just shitty behavior

incidentally, since people don't really use phones as phones anymore, what is the replacement for "phoned in"?

the more i play dawntrail, the more it feels phoned in

krile's earring is a fucking NFC yubikey? really?

support openstreetmap, but not due to nationalism

@mcc @valpackett tbh GNOME is gonna GNOME. i moved to xfce years ago and then KDE. sometimes when there is an impedance mismatch it’s worth moving on…

@xyhhx @danirabbit gonna fund alpine linux through selling pedicure photos on onlyfans

pro tip: do not come into my mentions apologizing for nazi edgelords if you do not want your single-user instance to be defederated

why the fuck is the GNOME logo still a foot anyway

@dysfun @mcc @valpackett look i am trying to talk about the foot fetish DE that everyone complains about not implementing XYZ protocol extension every week

@mcc @valpackett community organizing around *what*? i do not think you can force projects to implement wayland features they find distasteful for whatever reason.

@matt yes i do not personally know the specifics as the toolkits deal with AT-SPI for me. my point is that it’s not part of X11, but clearly people think it is.

@mcc X is just framebuffers being pushed around anymore, plus a whole bunch of legacy stuff that no real world applications use anymore for decades. accessibility is handled by the toolkits directly.

that someone is trying to improve on this by integrating screen reader hints and other accessibility features into wayland itself is an improvement over X11.

just going to say that before some troll goes and does the thing and then says i am "wrong"

to be clear when i say that xlibre is unsuitable for adoption in *any* distribution, i am talking about serious ones which provide stability and security guarantees. distributions like debian, alpine, fedora, etc.

obviously anyone can go do a run through the LFS book and use XLibre in place of traditional X when building their own distribution

@mcc Quartz Compositor also does not directly support network transparency. I don't think a display server needs to support this, and it is most likely best left to something more suited for the purpose of network extension.

i just want to ship an operating system using the best technologies available that are relevant to the mission. sometimes that means working with technology introduced by red hat, other times it means rejecting technology introduced by red hat

it is beyond frustrating how much damage / misinformation the anti-systemd/anti-wayland/anti-woke Linux weirdos have spread throughout the years
