I’ve heard of the stats; I’m just curious how they address it and how much better (or worse) similar storage with hydro and pumps would be.

What about friction within the pulley?

note that as usual in media the headline is less true than the article. nobody said “under control” but “all known commits have been reverted”

it’s bypassing the normal place to download (in the PKGBUILD) and doing so in a place that’s unsandboxed instead (in the .install file, not the PKGBUILD) when it didn’t need to do that before

that is indeed the official guides’ fault if they’re not in charge of helping maintain the AUR package. not the case for most of the infected packages here other than notably alvr, though.

windows update doesn’t force you to take a look at the changelog. most AUR helpers do so you better bet that it’s important

it’s a mailing list, so heads up, if you subscribe you’re also gonna get other discussion like the forums.

since the 2022 grub incident, Arch has done a great job at notifying the news channel when “manual intervention required” AFAIK, and I don’t remember any instances of Arch maintainers only notifying Reddit (and I don’t think they notified Reddit for the grub incident either lol).

the arch news channel is for breaking changes to arch pacakges (so not the AUR) only. maybe you could subscribe to aur-general@lists.archlinux.org.

(hopefully this doesn’t read as blaming the victims instead of the attackers but) I personally don’t think it’s that complicated to read the updates to AUR packages. It’s not any more hard than only commenting after reading the links that people post here instead of just the headlines—which we all do, right?

well what you said after zir reply didn’t demonstrate any of that

that you write things i’m trying to understand the relevance of, like “This information wasn’t provided in the post.” and “the first comment points to btrfs”. The Reddit link you gave also points towards btrfs as well as very undetailed mentions of zfs. ze says “i’ve tried btrfs and it doesn’t work so i’m looking into zfs”, and you reply “use btrfs use btrfs or look into zfs”, a message whose helpfulness I struggle to understand.

the device I’m testing first is too small for btrfs

Yandex is Russia’s Google, sold in 2024 to Russian oligarchs with close state ties, so I’d say it’s justified to criticize this particular sponsorship business

There’s some good bits about Belarus.

In the memo, ahead of the campaign’s launch, executives grappled with whether to include public disclosures about “secondary” use – water used in generating the electricity to power its datacentres.

They warned that full transparency was “a one-way door” and advised keeping AWS’s projections confidential, even as they feared that their advice could invite accusations of a cover-up. “Amazon hides its water consumption” was one negative headline the authors anticipated.

Callaghan said efficiency savings have already been achieved and pointed out that other companies also don’t count secondary water use.

Scientists balked at the selective disclosure and the choice not to include secondary use of water in the total.

(there’s also Ladybird but Servo is more exciting as the Rust one that used to be supported by Mozilla and now by the Linux Foundation)

omnixy, a NixOS fork of omarchy (which aims to serve the best defaults) that isn’t maintained by a fascist

I think the main thing is touchscreens
