A lot of people like to call C low level, maybe in modern times that’s fair? It misses the historical context of why it’s not usually considered one though and it’s ultimately sort of relative.

But if you read the article even valve said fsync was basically good enough, why go this far if the improvements compared to fsync aren’t amazing?

XD, I do, I already build my own kernel and turn it off…just saying I don’t like it

I mean…the code isn’t copied but the design is and it honestly frustrates me. Like yes Linux performance is improving…but I personally don’t like adding kernel functionality specifically for the benefit of wine

Even if it was built in it probably wouldn’t get full root, SELinux borks a lot of root exploits even if they privesc correctly.

Weirdly and oppositely this is actually how bees reproduce. Fertilized eggs become female, unfertilized become male

I’m not OP but maybe it’s not specifically rust that’s the problem but the fact that uutils is not actually a fully compatible replacement yet and he just wants gnutils

Rustless, mint? Probably just use LMDE

SELinux breaks a lot of android root exploits, way back in the day even dirty cow didn’t work. It would get you “root” but not actually the full perms because of SELinux. Really good testament to the added security of MAC, it’s one of the reasons I run apparmor on my systems

How was that stint where they sent your desktop search results to Amazon?

I thought they had dropped most of the other ISAs, have they not? historically it wasn’t just those 2 though

Wahhh, sorry. Jeroba timed out while making the post, and I know sometimes when it does that it posts anyway so I normally check…and I did this time as well, but it didn’t show up so I figured it had actually failed…and it hadn’t…ughhhh.

I have seen some fields that are weird but I don’t see a problem with the android one? Well I guess calling it rolling isn’t quite right but otherwise it’s pretty accurate

Technology is literally never complete, especially when it’s code based on reverse engineering of a proprietary format…

WebUSB was always an insane idea to me. The web has just gotten ridiculous

I just never left 100% native (apt in my case). I have been trying to make the switch to 100% flatpak…but it’s so painful that I just haven’t.

No, you still need a gateway, maybe what you’re referring to is the lack of NAT? But that honestly makes it less confusing, there’s still a default gateway though. It’s funny you say the subnetting thing because for me it’s the opposite. In v4 subnets are variable sized, sure /24 is the most common but I’ve found everything from /8 all the way to /29 in the wild. In v6…every subnet in a sane network is a /64, it’s practically enforced by the standard. You basically can’t go smaller and going bigger is pointless. That means the first 4 hex groups are your subnet, the last 4 are the device, basically always. Now VPNs are one of the few environments where /64 isn’t super heavily enforced and you can go smaller but it’s still good practice to use it anyway. Memorizing addresses is…you’re not wrong, but also I personally don’t find it that bad and here’s why. The first half of the address isn’t THAT much longer than a v4 address. It is a bit, and yes it’s hex so letters. Thing is, the first half is the bit you can’t control, kinda equivalent to your public v4, so once you memorize that, the second half can be whatever you want and as short as you want. Worst case you can always use DNS to avoid memorizing addresses but that does require extra configuration.

I’m not sure what you mean by that? What problems specifically?

🤔, I’m not sure what would cause it to break other than a misconfiguration, my setup isn’t stock though, my most recent endeavor was migrating to a VTless system, so I do a lot of “different” and non-conventional things. Sure I’ve had configs break but it’s because I made a mistake, that’s not the init’s fault.

Yeah, right now in order to do it without giving up a bunch of services you have to combine it with NAT64+DNS64. NAT64 maps the entire IPv4 space to a /96 of your chosing and then DNS64 will generate AAAA records based on that /96 when upstream doesn’t provide one so clients can talk pure v6 even to v4 only sites. There are some services (steam client and discord voice calls) that require v4 addressing and won’t work with this setup, but it gets you 98% of the way there.
