Rust Coreutils 0.5 Released - Inching Toward Full GNU Compatibility in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 points 46 minutes ago

Rust haters are just a hilarious species. It's like they are paid Russian trolls blowing everything out of proportion, making nonsensical arguments, and always whining about one thing or another.

I can't tell if these are real people or just bot and sock puppet accounts operated by suckless.

I don't know if it's possible to for a linux container to pass through a proxy. If so, that might be a solution.

Isn't that just a rust wrapper of chromium or Firefox?

Anyone got Magic Earth alternatives WITH traffic data? in c/privacy@lemmy.world
[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

How would it get traffic data? Are there public sources for traffic data? I thought traffic data was collected by all the phones and devices connected to the internet with a GPS.

Libxml2 Becomes Officially Unmaintained After Maintainer Steps Down in c/linux@programming.dev

Didn't know about those. Thanks for bringing them to my attention. I wonder how they compare to libxml2.

It wasn't even tech bros. Some people started using opensource software, discovered the master branch and lost their shit. Nobody meaningful had ever connected the name to anything malevolent, but those people made themselves be offended in the name of people who weren't even offended by it.

Microsoft bought github and didn't want the bad press so they renamed it after the twitter shitstorm. The professional victims then moved on to whatever else made noise on twitter and that was that.

I force all new projects to use master as all my old scripts and repos use master. Twitter shitstorms scan stay where they should be: in the toilet bowl of the internet aka twitter.

[Open question] Why are so many ~~rust~~ opensource projects MIT licensed? (opensource.org)
 

A few people pointed out that many rust projects were MIT licensed and since then I indeed have seen MIT licensed projects everywhere in Rust. Then I found the link of this post and it looks like MIT was by far the most popular license in all of opensource in 2023.

Any ideas why?

How can I host an IMAP connected to thirdparty POP? (programming.dev)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by onlinepersona@programming.dev to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Basically, I'd like to have my own domain e.g onlinepersona@mydomain.com but not go through the hassle of hosting my own email service: I'd like to use another service that handled SPF, DMARC, and whatever else for me, grab the emails from their service using POP, and make it available to my email client on android and Linux using IMAP. SMTP will be through the third party.

This way, if the third party starts doing some bullshit like trying to lock me in, donating to a dickhead, or whatever else I disagree with, I can cancel my subscription, move to another third party, and keep all mails on my server.

How can I achieve this? Which search terms should I be using? "Self host email server" brings up stuff that's the equivalent of self-hosting gmail, AOL, posteo, kollabnow, or whatever, but that's not what I want. "Selfhost POP relay" doesn't have much better results, always bringing up SMTP relay...

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

PSA: If you're going to write software for piracy, put it on I2P! (geti2p.net)

movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.

If you're a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!
