More individual participation, less corporate involvement, zero corporate ownership of essentials.

I’ve got some bad news about Linux then, the main contibutors are companies, and the infrastructure is owned by them.

It’s not individuals who paying Linus $1.5 million a year (Under “Compensation”).

A box shaped computer? so pedestrian, mine is a hyperbolic paraboloid.

Defeatism just benefits them. We don’t need it.

It’s not defeatism btw, it’s opposition to the idea that people should have a say if their content is used to train an LLM.

Does systemd print much once it’s fully running? Checking my log the only chatty thing is networkmanager doing wifi scanning, 4 separate state change log messages per scan.

Most likely an hardware issue, ZFS has seen similar types of corruption with certain drives under normal operation.

It was an issue for a long time that browsers just ignored the caching headers on content delivered over HTTPS, a baked in assumption that they must be private individual content. That’s not the case now, so sites have to specifically mark those pages as uncachable (I think Steam got hit by something like this not that long ago, a proxy was serving up other peoples user pages it had cached).

But for something like Google Fonts, the whole point of it was that a site could embed a large font family, and then every other visited site that also used it would simply share the first cached copy. Saving the bandwidth and amortizing the initial cost over the shared domains. Except now that no longer holds, instead of dividing the resources by the amount of sites using it, it’s multiplying it. So while a CDN might put the contents physical closer to the users, it doesn’t actually save any bandwidth (and depending on how it’s configured, it can actually slow page loads down)

Browsers partition the cache by “origin” now though, so while it can cache HTTPS content, it can’t effectively cache shared content (It’ll store multiple independent copies).

So Youtube still works fine, but Google Fonts is pointless now.

Edit: Oh yeah, and any form of shared JavaScript/CSS/etc. CDN is now also useless and should be avoided, but that’s always been the case.
