@Jim P.hantom I woke up to the PHP thing this morning. All I'd heard at that point was "immediately shut down all PHP servers until a patch is available" and so, down went my fedi services until I could get a handle on what the hell was going on. Fortunately, patches were already available at that point.

These keys are not even things that live in a space where factoring is an operation that makes sense, and it's (RSA) public keys you'd factor, not private keys.

The phrase "false peace" broke the light of day across my mind when I first heard it. It's white people's favorite thing.
Don't punish them. Don't hold them accountable. Don't ask for reparations. Don't fight them. Don't make them fight each other! Just let them hold power in perpetuity, which is the natural order of things in their minds, and if you have a grievance, you must convince them peacefully or not at all, at their leisure, when they deign to receive you.
People love to talk about MLK but nobody wants to talk about the Black Panthers anymore. They’re two sides of the same coin.

I'm sure everyone here has "the tech box": that box where you shove the miscelaneous cables and dongles and other crap that isn't currently being used but is too useful to just get rid of. In my case it had spilled over into multiple boxes and had just become a bit of a nightmare.
Anyhow, my parents were getting rid of this guy, so we took it home with us. Katy and I just spent the past hour meticulously going over every single item in our various tech boxes and cataloging them into a system inspired by the one described in @Cory Doctorow's book, Makers.* It's not quite so elaborate as in the book. It's just an org-mode document that tells me exactly which drawer each item is in—no fancy RFID tags, but they're not items with a lot of churn either, so it's fine. Got to admit, it was rather satisfying to my probably #AuDHD brain.
Anyhow, I present to you the new gay tech organizer.

When I first learned about CollapseOS four years ago, I thought that it's a very cool concept, but did find the idea "you'll have to implement from scratch everything in your computing stack" very disconnected from the reality. Like, what kind of plausible scenario could there be that one won't be able to get system software for their computer that they could trust to be of safe origin, free from backdoors and malware, and fit for the purpose, I thought.

about a year ago I was writing in my head a blog post titled "I want retro computing without the retro", about designing stacks around standards minimal enough one person can make an MVP computing environment themselves.

@mcc @tkchia @joshg Portability, agreeing on a subset of interfaces, and not developing programs like there is just one target OS.
Now I'm not saying this is easy, or that it'll be possible to agree on a subset of specs and interfaces. But it does sound like the way to go to me, at least on a first sight.
@mcc @tkchia @joshg computers used to boot straight into a BASIC interpreter, and that was ok even for non-developper users. It had a good balance of protecting the machine and data from user errors, while not getting in the way (you can access all memory and execute arbitrary code, but the tystem is in ROM). And it provides an acceptaple learning curve
What would we use as a modern equivalent to this?
it's still on the bingo card. And chat control here/and in the EU. And then there's mandatory file scans on Android and iOS with reporting to police, still on the bingo cards.
And then there are Black Mirror like things that are already a reality. Like the marks printers leave on the paper for IDs. And unauthorised edits of images during printing. And camera applications that automatically "enhance" the image with un-disableable AI...
@mcc i love simple stacks.
I have a compiler project and I'm trying to avoid dependencies to make it easier to port to obscure custom operating systems at some point 😮
it's a shame that VESA, BIOS disk access, and other standards to make it easier to hand-roll your own kernel with minimal drivers seem to have gone out of fashion 😞
@mcc true, but i personally think 3d acceleration is overrated too.
I have WebGL disabled in my browser and I love software renderers! A ton of indie games could run just fine with a pure software renderer if they tried
(I realize others will consider 3d acceleration much more essential and that's fair, I suppose I have a privileged niche opinion)
@mcc I mean it depends. My machines are fast enough that pure software is enough, in my experience even something like a Raspberry Pi 5 is typically fast enough to do snappy software rendered UIs for a Full HD screen. (I don't use 4K because it just draws way more power with little improvement.)
Source: I've tried it, I remove all acceleration from a ton of apps entirely. And I scroll around in windows! I know that some of them didn't have 2D acceleration either because I wrote them.
@mcc That's sad to hear! Perhaps I judged wrongly then.
But I wonder, when you say videos, do you mean Youtube?
Youtube is a horrible website that causes a ton of extra draw rather than just the video playback itself. I would personally rather blame that on Youtube than the local software stack.
Some things that can help are 1. disable Youtube's ambient mode, 2. use an aggressive adblocker, 3. use an external client like freetubeapp.io to actually get decent performance.
FreeTube is a feature-rich and user-friendly YouTube client with a focus on privacy.freetubeapp.io
@mcc Software rendering will be a bit of a CPU hog for sure...
What I did experience on the Raspberry Pi 5 with software rendered apps is that they tend to lag a lot faster once I do stuff like e.g. compiling software.
Would be lying if I claimed it bothered me much, though. 👀 Perhaps it is because I grew up with Windows 98? You would see similar effects back then and it was just normal.
I don't WANT to reimplement everything. I just think it's bad to forget how things are done. And we look for permission to do that. As soon as computers get more convenient. It releases those feel-good endorphins that you no longer have to be on edge and actively keeping difficult-to-juggle-knowledge in your immediate working store. And then you get complacent.
I know I did/have :/.
@cr1901 I have a bone deep need to have the *ability* to reimplement everything. I want to know I know how to do it. Nevertheless there are some layers in the stack I didn't actually want to implement.
2025-me was excited about making her own CPU and GPU and her own programming language to write programs that run on them. But I thought I'd be able to write those programs on some other operating system someone else wrote with a text editor someone else wrote.
The idea is still unbelievably disconnected from the reality.
I say as someone who literally has only 3-5 hours of free time outside of work to do with as I will, with a body and a mind that are both so utterly exhausted at the end of each day that I go blurry-eyed and foggy-brained when I look at a single line of code or an electrical component data sheet or any page of API documentation no matter how well-written it may be.
I've honestly gotten to the point of just.... giving up.
I simply can't afford to invest any of my limited time or spoons into caring about the provenance of the codebase anymore.
If it works, it works. That's all I have time and spoons to care about now.
I was once among those paranoid folks who believe that one day all software and hardware we can legally use will be backdoored by the government. And we'd have to purchase old hardware from black market to run free software.
Well, it's a different kind of "collapse", but certainly possible 😀
@cismonx Start stockpiling pre-ban hardware now. Same thing gun collectors do when new limits on magazine capacity or "assault" weapons get proposed.
Like guns it takes a very long time for every last pre-ban machine to die of electromigration. Should take longer than the remaining term in office of those voting for the bans
at this point I sometimes spend a few thought-cycles fantasizing about which materials other than UV-etched silicon a CPU-like thing could be made of, both for maybe-someday writing sci-fi reasons but also because I don't have a clean room or a silicon mine at home, and every time I get an urge to finally design my own PCB just for the sake of having done that, I'm reminded of how dependent that kind of thing is on so many huge global supply chains.
I think before I go too far in that direction I'll first try to formalize some algorithms-run-over-human-groups stuff as a thing that can reassure me my skills won't be useless in an apocalypse.

I keep being amazed by terminals that use fancy UTF characters, colours and whatnot to create graphic features when you could just as well render just any old shape in the same place.
Unless something actually needs to be able to run outside of a desktop environment (which, alright, is needed for a fair number of things), I don't really see the benefit.
I'm still waiting for a proper graphical code/equation editor where comments happen in the margins and can be threaded and contain figures, where I can zoom out to see methods and classes as little boxes with connectors, arranged in a way that makes the relations between them more obvious, and I can rearrange and refactor them by drag & drop.

@me 95% of new programmers would benefit from knowing how to do control-break processing. I clean up after so many youngsters doing ad hoc processing for data we have known how to process efficiently since 1968.
Honestly I much prefer Java to COBOL and the recent enhancements to add more modern language features to Java version 255 are much appreciated. However: Programmer convenience is not the purpose of software engineering. Solving business problems is.
@Badtux the Snarky Penguin I think that programmers could also benefit from learning assembly. That doesn't mean I'm going to use it as my day-to-day language. A good software engineer knows that everything is a trade-off, and it's about picking the tool that best solves the problem at hand.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that the industry is overrun with inexperienced devs who build a ton of slop (even before so-called AI hit the scene) because the companies they work for want to make line go up above all else. That's a capitalism problem more than an engineering problem though.

There is a secular value in being able to navigate diversity, in having experience with and an understanding of a diversity of cultures.

This is very true. I've seen it happen to people who marry into that wealth too.
It's the wealth disparity as much the total amount. I see it here in Mexico with the gringos who move here too...although it's aided by a healthy dose of white supremacy.
I think the paranoia that comes with ultra-wealth (people are trying to take advantage of you), and the awkwardness (shame?) of social conversations with people whose problems are completely different than yours, all contribute to it. But that doesn't excuse it. It just means that it's work to keeping it from happening.

I mean, they *might not* be those things but if they're so oblivious to what's going on in the world and are just ignorant, they might as well be those things. Ignorance is complicity.
@lydiaconwell ignorance is not complicity, not in this society. some people *genuinely* do not know. does mainstream news cover these things? people are overworked and exhausted and worried and stressed all the time. people miss things.
this is why we inform those folks, like my essays on this topic have done. because then they will know. and THEN if they still choose to support, they are complicit.
