I do disagree with you. Proprietary firmware and proprietary hardware does make you less free. But if the rental agreement you have with them is good enough for you, why would I bash you for it, you know?

Its why RISCV is exciting in the CPU space to me. Its more free (even if the IP under it is proprietary). Every step we take towards it advanced the field to me. Again though, if you are renting any piece of the stack, it’s still better that you own what you can to do what you/want then just giving into the “you will own nothing” push.

Just gotta take the wins where we can, celebrate the work, and keep working, you know?

We need purists like the fsf. They are truly fighting the good fight, but I am also happy to see people be just more free too, even with some compromise.

I guess I like HA scaled stuff even if just for play. I hate hurdles though

I do like these designs better. Wheel chair access on roads (i.e. cars that support it) have been lacking. I also like that they don’t look like a mil spec APC taking up every square inch of the road

Still better walk ability, better bike routes, better trams, better metros, better buses. All make more sense for Intercity travel.

But also also fuck these for being massive road based spy drones

I have one! It was a really cool project! https://www.openvoiceos.org/ is the community fork carrying it forward

I don’t know why but miss usng mythos so bad just grinds my gears.

Like are you, one of the most powerful beings in the world, really stealing fire and giving it to mankind risking yourself in the process? Does any of that sound like what he’s fucking doing? Seriously.

Be like me running a mom and pop plumbing company in the valley name Zeus.

Awesome to see someone takling the signatures side of it!

To me it’s like a password, or login token. Who has it owns that machine. The issue is definitely that industry is scamming people out of essentially their password and changing it on us so it’s there’s and not ours.

Its crazy to me how this lines with cloud engineering so much. The phrase was “data has gravity” because the further the data is from the processing the more you have to spend to move it around and the more latency you’ll get from it

Even the idea of ECS has so many parallels to kubernetes declarative model and various actors within it.

And that it self is measurable. Never understood the attempt to have total control on byod setups. Its never going to happen lol

Worse yet is gaming is normally a lot PCIe data, that encryption is still very expensive performance wise.

Ahh, it’s a got a system called Memory Guard but that is just brand name for Transparent SME. Which still, freaking finally, that’s awesome. Though in the context of confidential computing, where container/VM memory spaces are assured through encryption it doesn’t help since there is no granular page control just the entire memory system transparently to the system above.

Though I’m not sure if that is a hardware, firmware, or driver limitation (I think below driver because of the reports I saw of fedora failing to boot with the kernel flag set to use it).

Ooohh, awesome! I gotta check that out then.

You absolutely can have that and more, what we in industry, attestation on Linux. Though the most obvious adaptation of that would the confidential computing space for key bits of the game data instead of the whole fucking OS. Though hardware level memory encryption is a server CPU feature that I don’t think any desktop ones support yet

Considering they pressured the AstraZenica vaccine to not be open source I am biased against believing it was alturism.

Tor and the Snowflake projects have a lot of work they do on that fight

They should refund for sure

They also have been tapping Code weavers or just serendipity but there is a lot of movement on the open source x86 to arm translation space too. Which for games on VR headsets is a big deal. https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/mjohnson/2025/11/6/twist-our-arm64-heres-the-latest-crossover-preview

I really like the specification of petrochemicals. Thats make a significant difference. That is awesome, the more places we can cut those industries out the better.

Same reason why a nightmare for me is someone asking me to make an app I’m working work on Windows.

First I don’t have a windows machine. IDK where you get the iso any more. I think RKE2 support windows worker nodes but no clue what that really means. I don’t even know what that install would look like. After solving that I have to figure out how to build images for windows. No idea there. Then how do I add those tests to my pipelines, which I assume meaning adding those windows worker nodes to my test cluster, which now means I have to see how to quarantine them or somehow get the security suit working on them. Does my networking stack work on it?

After all that I can then ask, how do I compile my apps specific code and try and run it there. How do I do that for Windows? I have no real freaking clue. I think rust and python can pull most stuff fine but sometimes my depencies build with Linux in mind and don’t work off the bat. Should I make a Windows dual boot to build/dev/test? Will my dev tools work on it?
