Why doesn't Signal forbid third party clients or at least offer a client certification program to ensure security?
  • Static_Rocket Static_Rocket 12h ago 100%

    I could appreciate a client certification that is optional, like a list of approved clients on their website or something along those lines.

    It should not be enforced by killing the client. I like security, but I enjoy software freedom more.

  • Static_Rocket Static_Rocket 2w ago 85%

    Llvmpipe is enabled in mesa at compilation time and actually modifies the swrast_*.so the last time I checked. Not runtime configurable. Also, I know at one point it had issues running on 32 bit machines. Not sure if that's still the case.

    Not sure about the Eco tank line, but the smart tank line botched the IPP interface. Ink level reporting is always wrong and printer status is regularly wrong. Exposed settings are limited to push people to the app.

    To be fair, C predates dependency hell. It was either there or it wasn't. C++ has less of an excuse, but it was just object oriented concepts taped to C so it's no surprise it was also missing dependency management.

    Now with cmake, gnu-make, meson, gradel, and the world of metabuild systems that wrap those, nothing will change. It it does, it might as well kick start world war 3.

    Was actually considering buying premium now that I use YouTube for music more than Spotify, but then the ad stuff happened and now this. Going to avoid it out of principle now.

    Sounds like it would specifically be APRS if they were. Neat protocol. Unfortunately no encrypted traffic was allowed last time I looked into it.

  • Static_Rocket Static_Rocket 1mo ago 100%

    I agree limiting application scope is useful for multiple reasons, however Jellyfin started as a fork of Emby which already had music support. I have yet to find a standalone application that has enough features to sway me from just utilizing the existing media server functionality.

    Finamp's current alpha was a huge surprise to me. I stopped looking at development for a few months and in that time they completely reworked it

    Ah, so the kernel actually uses mailing lists. You need to use the get maintainers Perl script to get the people you need to send the email TO and then send it to them with the dri-devel list CC'd.

    That wouldn't be accepted as is, but those sound like tunables. They could be exposed as kernel parameters. May be worth submitting the patch as an RFC just to call attention to it.

    What modifications were required? The good part of a rolling release is that upstreaming things means you only have to deal with manual fixes for like 2 or 3 updates.

    Dude tried doing that at the Dallas airport recently as well. I do believe they should be getting a larger cut but it's sketchy as hell to not have anything backing the ride.
