Isn't this literally what they made misskey for?

nostr and the fediverse are connected. with this relay wss://relay.ditto.pub i also get posts from mastodon etc. probably also misskey

Basically all third party gentoo repos are unsigned, and ssl is trivial to mitm for any three letter agency. It was only recently that gentoo even started signing their main repo (and it wasn't even ssl so anyone could mitm to root your system).

TRVThNKh! Dan Bernstein's redo is the only civilized build system.

>>33943
in the final analysis it's all just programs, so build.sh is the trve answer

>>33944
The average build.sh can't do minimal rebuilds, i.e. it will always recompile the entire project, whether you change a line in config.h or not. Redo targets are literally just executable files, that specify dependencies through redo-* calls, so repeated redo invocations will only rebuild targets according to the dependency graph, while those targets are still arbitrary programs.

isn't graphene only compatible with pixel phones? how do you degoogle something that is designed to run solely on google hardware? it seems like they made android even less free in that respect, at least vanilla android runs on tons of different devices and not just google's.

people have some weird interpretations of what liberated software/hardware is, i've always sort of suspected the whole idea was ill-founded and unworkable from the beginning, and seeing maga get in on the act with the "freedom phone" pretty much sealed the deal for me.

Vanilla android doesn't run anywhere, android is always customized to run anywhere other than in a vm, it's a cursed shitware os. But yes lineageos supports waaay more devices, and the benefit of graphene seems highly questionable to me.
That said all hardware is aids-ridden, google's hardware is not even the worst, probably by far not the worst. Btw assuming you're the guy from the samsung thread - in the past replicant devs found a modem-level backdoor in a samsung phone. And that's just what the found - it's a very small team and the number and complexity of devices is huge and ever growing, so you can safely assume EVERY device has something like that or worse.

looks like GrapheneOS has fixed this now by mirroring the files on their own servers. but I wonder why they do this all the time for every connection rather than say once per hour or once a week
also yes trusting GrapheneOS instead of Google is not without problems but there are degrees in hell

why do people on here argue over what to trust as if anything could possibly be trustworthy.

the smartphone market is just a dumpster fire from top to bottom, particularly android. android is the worst operating system in the history of mankind, the bastard child of google and linux, the two worst things to ever happen to computer technology. degoogling android won't make it better, nothing can make android better, android is shit all the way through, there is literally nothing good about it at all.

Recently started writing more specifications - the rough sort you'd see for a shed. Was rewriting software over and over again, because I would miss some critical detail that should have been caught in planning. This video was part of the impetus. Have been reading through Ong too, interesting to see a missing mnemonic system for thought which makes the maxim "to think is to write" nearly true.

"When we think we stay with our dictionaries." This one is more aspirational for me. While I love etymologies I rarely put them to work like I should when programming. Rich Hickey sort of makes his own DSL dictionary so that terms are used consistently throughout his program. Not knowing your own terms is surely a way to have weak thoughts.

"Programs are meant to be read by humans and only incidentally by machines." When I was a kid every program I wrote was literate, because I almost exclusively worked through books, and made notes. Although I never had the macro system and typography of WEB, org-mode was a close second. At some point when I started writing more independent programs this was lost. I'm intending to get back into this, even if only in comments.

Old hardware can be fun! Not to long ago ended up writing an OpenGL text-renderer using skyline binpacking with a shader to get alpha and color on the text. No pango, no cairo, just GLESv2. Plugged it in to wterm and wmenu to have functioning hardware acceleration in Wayland on a nearly twenty year old machine. Would like to write a custom Wayland PDF viewer and ebuild for https://github.com/Igalia/cog so that I could have a minimal completely workable machine one day. Well that and tape the battery which I recently recelled in place, because it keeps falling out.

Funnily enough this was also a "no-AI" system because the dependencies for the agent systems are nuts for what they are.

By popular demand, pics from my phone…

maybe you can flash it with FOSS distro?

That's free market for you. So much choice! Now even monitors have AIDS in them.

>>33827
i think just passing it through a cheap kvm switch would be enough since it wipes EDID info, windows would detect it as a generic monitor and would not even attempt to download drivers. alternatively just disable the feature to download software automatically.

Program that bridges API calls from Windows VST in Wine to DAW

I heavily recommend using u-he plugins if you don't care about using proprietary software, especially the new Zebra3 (a CPU hog but sounds sublime and insanely versatile), Repro-1 and 5 (Prophet-5 and Pro-One emulations) and Uhbik2 (great suite of effects).
A lot of people swear by Diva, and Bazille is also pretty interesting if you are into weird modular sounds.

TAL also make good plugins with Linux native versions. Haven't tried AudioDamage stuff, but I've heard it's good too.

Otherwise, with yabridge, ValhallaDSP plugins run perfectly for reverb and delay. I had good experiences with the FabFilter suite in the past too. Native Instruments stuff generally works okay. Lightweight plugins from small companies that don't use iLok kind of shit DRM tend to work pretty well too, like Madrona Labs' Aalto or AberrantDSP SketchCassette II and Digitalis.
However, I had no luck with Serum 2 and Lexicon plugins, but I can do without them.

The only thing that sucks is that yabridge hasn't been updated in a long while, and it has a mouse cursor glitch with the latest versions of wine-staging, but it works fine with the normal version in Mint's repos. Let's hope they eventually fix this problem, but so far, I think there is everything needed to make great sounding tracks on Linux.
No Ableton Live and Max For Live sadly (there is Bitwig and PlugData tho), and tinkering and random bugs can be pretty annoying sometimes, but I think there is something really satisfying about having an audio setup working fine on Linux. It used to be much more complicated and restrictive 10 or 15 years ago.
