I have read that it is faster, though I have not tested it myself. Personally, my initial reason to use it was just to try something new and explore the unix world. My reason for staying is that it is a very simple init system that is pleasant to work with. It made me understand what an init system is and use it a lot more.

Systemd is good if you just want something invisible and you do not want to mess too much with an init system unless you have to. Everything integrates with it

OpenRC is nicer if you want to write your own init scripts. It is very well documented also.

There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.

The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.

I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

The link is from a pro-Hezbollah source. Summary in my own words below.

  • Hezbollah's leader Hasan Nasrullah addressed in a speech Israel's attack on Beirut, which killed civilians and assassinated Fuad Shukr, hezbollah's most senior military advisor. Shukr is a founding member of Hezbollah.

  • Nasrullah also addressed Ismail Haniya's assassination in Iran, who was the head of Hamas, saying "Iran will not remain silent on this".

  • Israel had previously claimed the attack on Beirut is in response to an attack that killed civilians and children in the Golan heights, a territory of syria that Israel occupies, and Israel blamed hezbollah. Nasrullah rejected the claims - "we have the courage to admit if we made a mistake, but we reject the responsibility of this attack". Nasrullah claimed that Israel's attack is part of its war, rather than a response to the alleged attack.

  • Nasrullah vowed to avenge the attack on Beirut, citing that Israel does not know which red lines they have crossed.

  • Nasrullah said that Hezbollah has so far maintained a support front for Gaza, but that this attack has marked a "new phase" of the war.

  • Nasrullah announced that the support front for Gaza against Israel will resume tomorrow, but that is completely separate from the response to the attack on Beirut. Israel must expect this attack anywhere in occupied Palestine, a full and real response rather than a symbolic one, he said.

I'm looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?

Xmpp seems way easier to host, requiring less resources, has many more options for clients, and is simpler and thus easier to manage and reason about when something goes wrong.

So what's the deal?

Whether you're really passionate about RPC, MQTT, Matrix or wayland, tell us more about the protocols or open standards you have strong opinions on!

Given the extistence of technologies like Monero and SimpleX chat, I wonder if it is possible for a truly anonymous content sharing platform to exist? And does it?

Use cases:

  • sharing pirated content without a link back to you
  • journalists or political activists not wanting to be found or caught by a government

The platform should not allow the following to know the details of what you do on this platform:

  • users on the platform: should not know the identity of a poster unless they disclose it
  • the host of the platform: should not know which content belongs to who, or be able to deduce it via traffic logs
  • Intermediates like the ISP, DNS, or your router should not be able to link any content to you. However it is okay if they know that you use the platform at all, just not what you do with it.

Does something like this exist?

I thought I'll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!

I'll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

Curious to know the coolest things you achieved by configuring your kernel. I know kernel config can be boring, but I'm hoping someone will have an impressive answer.

For me I have a very lightweight kernel that runs wayland on nvidia without any issues to date.

I'll start with mine. yes part of this was to brag about my somewhat but not too unusual setup. But I also wanna learn from your setups!

Anyways: I primarily use Gentoo Linux.

I have two headless servers: a Raspberry Pi 4B and a Oracle cloud VM (free tier). Both running OpenRC, and both were running mainline kernel with custom config (I recently switched the Pi to PiFoundation kernel due to some issues). The raspberry pi boots from SSD and has no sd card inserted.

Both servers were running musl libc instead of glibc for a while. This gave me a couple of random issues, but eventually I got tired and switched back to glibc.

I have a desktop running gentoo and a laptop running arch, but hoping to switch the laptop to gentoo soon.

Both are daily driving wayland (the desktop had nvidia card and used for gaming). The desktop is running a kernel with a minimal config that compiles in 2-3 minutes.

What's your unusual setup like?

My journey with Lemmy started in 2022 out of interest in the fediverse and paranoia around how much control social media companies have, and how little choice common people are left with over the Internet.

Lemmy was much smaller back then. I really wanted it go get bigger, and tried to contribute to it. But it was small enough to be unsatisfying, so I would go back and forth between lemmy and Reddit.

After the Reddit fiasco, I shifted more and more towards lemmy and less towards Reddit. I finally abandoned Reddit when third party apps broke. I only go there for specific questions in communities that aren't active on lemmy.

What about you?

I am looking to contribute to striker funds, if possible. I am located in the US, hence why I choose it.

I am hoping for striker funds that would be effective enough to make change. In other words, they may be the last thing a group of workers needed to decide to strike.

I am hoping the fund is efficient in managing its funds, rather than a significant fraction going to administrative costs. Very preferred if the fund's financials are fully transparent.

Any recommendations?

You don't really explain why activityPub is limiting you. It's hard to help you here.

People in Reddit and sometimes here always praise the EU as some bastion of privacy, and I always got downvoted when I said that this isn't always true. And now here we are. I hope people don't forget this after a month, like they always do.

Israel: we literally don't think people in Gaza are human

Westerners: I can't tell the difference between the two sides!

What matters isn't who came first. What matters is that no one has the right to expel a human from a land they're living in. That is the core of the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

I am pro Palestine, but have no issue with the increase of Jewish migrations in the 19th century. The problem is not Jewish migration. It is the fact that Israel expelled Palestinians from their homes, murdered them, suffocated them, and made their lives miserable.

And this is the same thing that was done to the native people of the modern day Americas.

I love when people on the Internet say "X did Y quietly" to make it more suspenseful. This doesn't look quiet to me...

That's false. There's no state in communism. See Karl Marx or any Communist writer on this.

It is unfortunate that this anti-work rhetoric often comes off as outrageous, when in reality it isn't. I don't know if the people doing it are intentionally trying to be controversial, or if they just are not good at communicating.

When we complain about work, this doesn't mean that we are asking for a world where we lounge all day at home, and expect that food, shelter and entertainment are magically delivered to us without any regard to how it happens. No, anti-work is not about a blind sense of entitlement. But that is how a lot of these posts come off as, even if their authors don't intend it.

Anti-work is a recognition that the working class works way too damn much; so much more than we need to to have a functioning society with everyone living happily and having their needs met. There's so much inefficiency in capitalism, with aims to drive more capital to the wealthy, and working around other stupidities of capitalism (check out the book "Bullshit jobs" for examples). The ruling class holds hostage the world's resources, and requires you to give them a large portion of your life to get even the minimum needed to sustain your living. Now that is outrageous.

I agree. Fascist countries like Denmark, Germany and Canada often get called "socialist" and they have been disastrous for the reputation of socialism.

Our track record dealing with covid shows us that our approach was largely unsuccessful. Masking must be enforced, not suggested. This is the only effective solution.
