Marrero’s background is in Navy intelligence, and she earned a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in information security and digital management
Incredible.
she soon changed the “STINKY” Wi-Fi network name to another moniker that looked like a wireless printer — even though no such general-use wireless printers were present on the ship
Why not just switch off broadcasting the SSID?
[The CO and XO] then conducted another sweep inside the ship. Although the network that appeared to be a wireless printer appeared on their personal devices during their search, neither made additional inquiries regarding that network
No-one's coming out of this looking good.
Marrero’s secret Starlink dish was removed the same day, and Marrero told another unidentified crew member the next day that it was authorized for in-port use — prompting sailors to re-install the illegal Starlink.
I wonder if he'll do a more traditional score for this. Many of his recent projects have been more like soundscapes. The Dune soundtracks are incredible, and very cleverly constructed, but I don't know if they'd suit a BBC Lord of the Flies.
I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they'd use gothic black for the Goth's speech, etc.
it would’ve been nice if Gentoo’s docs were better than/highly competitive against Arch’s docs.
I think it's fair to say that the Arch wiki is larger and covers more areas, but if there's a Gentoo page on the same topic, the Gentoo one will be as good/better.
Arch is more popular, and so has more contributors (e.g. recent edits for Gentoo vs Arch).
Ha, yeah - the Arch wiki calls it a "service manager" although OpenRC describes itself as a "dependency-based init system". When I wrote that reply I'd started to be more pedantic about the terms but changed it to reflect my core problem that it's not an apples-to-apples comparison to compare all of systemd to the underlying init system (you see loads of "are you using OpenRC or systemd" posts but never systemd vs sysvinit).
The kernel section is confused or just wrong. Arch has you use pacstrap to install a pre-built kernel (there are options from almost-vanilla to more custom), whereas Gentoo gives you the choice of using vanilla or Gentoo kernel sources (optionally with custom configuration) or just using a pre-built binary.
The Gentoo wiki used to be the gold standard, even for non-Gentoo users, but it was an unofficial wiki and a hard-drive crash (if memory serves) killed it with no backups. It was mostly restored with help after that.
Nowadays, I think more people use the Arch wiki.
Gentoo has package binaries available, although that's a newer thing and if you use unusual USE flags you'll need to compile your own anyway.
By default, Gentoo uses the older sysvinit system
Weird to put it this way, since Gentoo is well known for its use of OpenRC which is what you'd use instead of systemd. Both are common on Gentoo systems.
I'm stopping here - the whole article feels off, perhaps it's AI-written? I'd recommend finding a better source.
Ah bollocks, another trusted voice silenced. Now it'll be that slight bit harder to find a review that isn't just parroting stuff from the press release.
I'm of the belief that spawning threads on demand is an anti-pattern; threads should spawn on program startup, and sleep until they have work to do.
Hmm, I need to think on this to decide whether I agree. What's your reasoning for this opinion? Is it just based on lower latency, or is it more of an architectural/correctness thing?

I've never been on tumblr and just assumed the whole site was like that.
