I’ve put it behind WireGuard since only my wife and I use it. Otherwise I’d just use Caddy or other such reverse proxy that does https and then keep Jellyfin and Caddy up to date.

The benefits easily outweighs the cost of some extra space use. We’re not talking about a lot here, after all, with dedupping, shared runtimes and what have you.

I think every other Us based company has to follow the same laws, as you’d expect tbh.

Organic Maps said not to blame this on Microsoft but rather on US law

No need to update when you’ve reached perfection

The above codecs-extra change meant that we now didn’t really have an use case for org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264 since codecs-extra had FFMPEG’s internal H.264 decoder and the libx264 encoder.

Sounds like it was basically replaced with codecs-extra

They’re MIT licensed.

Not using different user accounts, that’s a paddling

And for someone not knowing what that is, it’s a way to install and update stuff no matter what the distro, without messing with distro repo or otherwise messing stuff up.

It’s not the C++ that I find strange hah

Not only C++ but also Swift, which just feels strange

Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available?

Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.

However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect.

We have evaluated a number of alternatives, and will begin incremental adoption of Swift as a successor language, once Swift version 6 is released.

It’s just so tiring to discuss something like politics with someone who is literally 12.

That’s where the delay comes. Though I guess it does point out that even with just Firefox the differences are small in how quickly you get updates.

Did Zen come from flatpak and Firefox from deb?

And how’s that working out so far?

I think it was US OFAC sanctions

https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/23/linus_torvalds_affirms_expulsion_of/ (links to the OFAC sanctions set up after Russia invade Ukraine)

The OFAC sanctions do have quite a few lists, with one of them being “Russian Harmful Foreign Activities Sanctions”, so it could be fear of harmful actions and not just retaliation for the invasion

US laws prevented them from contributing while employed in a sanctioned company. Sucky situation for those individuals.

Weren’t Russian contributors (from very specific sanctioned companies) rejected from contributing because of US sanction laws and with Linux Foundation being HQ’d in the US?

Lemmy isn’t 1-on1 discussions

Thanks
