@sir At this rate, even self-hosted gitea instance on a single VPS feels more reliable than DownHub... pardon, GitHub.

@sir Important reminder that addons.mozilla.org pages have (or at least used to) Google Analytics tracker that cannot be blocked by any addons since addons.mozilla.org pages are "protected".

@sir Additionally, Firefox has essentially a backdoor that allows Mozilla at any time to drop any code into deployed versions of __their__ browser. (Not using pronoun "your" there, you got me)

@sir The backdoor I mentioned is called "studies" and can be rather easily disabled in preferences. But still, Mozilla, why do we have this enabled by default instead of being opt-in? *shakes head*

@sir This is a nice quote, but I believe simple software may sometimes underperform in some ways too. What I think more accurate "two ways" are: a) Design trade-offs are obvious. b) What the heck the developer was smoking.

@sir This is really nice but what are builds.sr.ht worker specs? Haven't found anything in docs.

@sir Would it also apply for unlisted repositories?

@sir I consider ZIP format to be an improvement over tarballs since ZIP allows partial decompression and contents listing with much smaller overhead.

@sir Standards unify the ecosystem. Now you don't hate a certain specific API, now you just hate the standard and that hate automatically applies to everything.

@sir There is also https://ricochet.im/ and IIRC Briar project uses Tor for over-Internet communication too.

Blockchain does not work without a verification scheme. You cannot just throw things into ledger and distribute it, assuming it will be completely secure.

Android 10 removed the ability to change permissions for system applications. And more small steps Google is making to take away your freedom. Get a Pinephone.

Simple, consistent, orthogonal.That's how feature sets of good programming languages are described.

@sir This would increase complexity of porting C toolchain to a new platform. On the other hand, this would enable many more software to be fully portable to any compliant platform. This would put the end to the endless chaos of dozens of different event-loop implementations all duplicating each other since there will be The One True implementation. (this is especially severe in C++ world that essentially builds on C)

@sir You are right. I (likely incorrectly) counted libc as part of toolchain.

How's conventional spam filtering (RBLs, DCCs, greylisting, so that stuff rspamd has) compares to Gmsil's solution? What's the correct detection rate? What's false positive rate?In other words, is Gmail's spam filtering superior to what we have as an alternative?
