It would matter if they ultimately decided to break away from the Dems.
I am not down with this name. Can we just keep calling them scumbags?
- Not intellectuals. Fucking obvious.
- Not on the dark web. They're on YouTube, Twitter, and Spotify.
Do you mean to say that AOC and Bernie are unknowingly treated as pawns by the Democrat party or that they are knowingly misleading voters into thinking the party leans further left than reality?
I would assume if anything it's the former, and Democrat idealism has lost against the reality that a third labor party cannot take root while first-past-the-post is the rule of the game.
Wireguard is p2p.
EDIT: I guess the point is it's doing peer discovery without static public IPs or DNS. Pretty cool!
Well that rules out pretty much every video game. So here's my favorite card game instead.
It's called Illimat. It's very strategic but easy to finish a game in under an hour. It's essentially a game of pattern recognition and "harvesting" sets of cards. The goal is to harvest the most points each round.
Fitting into the overall theme of farming, there are four fields to harvest from, and each field is in a different season. Players can change the seasons by playing special cards, and the seasons affect the types of actions that may be performed in each field.
Everyone I've played with has enjoyed this game.
That's rough. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to cope with these limitations, but so far at least I'm happy with the bandwidth.
Interesting. I was told I could purchase a static IP from my technician. But I just decided to use Cloudflare DDNS.
I have quantum fiber. 1 Gb up+down. No data cap. $80/mo "price for life."
The only downside is it's still IPv6 Rapid Deployment.
I think ranked choice voting and the popular vote interstate compact can happen at the state level. Just needs more local campaigning.
Then people would feel more empowered to vote for who they really want. I think that would be a big push towards nominating an actual progressive candidate.
Capital by Karl Marx + Friedrich Engels
I'm not far into it yet, but it's pretty fucking brilliant so far.
I don't really like the "as intended" take because it fails Hanlon's Razor. Even Karl Marx understood that Capitalism is doomed to a crisis and revolution cycle, not because that's what anyone wants, but because it is a law of nature.
The same is true of first-past-the-post voting.
The resolve to tear it down is still plausible though. I don't know whether it is possible to escape capitalism without a revolution. The alternative is a perfect storm of progressive legislation that seems unlikely to occur in my lifetime.
I'll move my foot to its dedicated spot in your ass.

I would vote for Bernie in a heartbeat.
He seems to always be on the right side of history, he understands the root causes of our national crises, and he has solutions.
Problem: Two-party system, voter apathy.
Solution: Ranked choice voting, remove electoral college (popular vote interstate compact).
Problem: Bought elections.
Solution: Repeal Citizens United.
Problem: Federal deficit spending.
Solution: Reform government contracts with private corpos so we're not getting gouged. Repurpose military budget. Tax the rich.
Problem: Ignorant and misinformed voting population.
Solution: More school funding, pay teachers more.
Problem: All surplus value is siphoned away from the working class.
Solution: Tax incentives for employee-owned companies. More support for unions.
Problem: Consumer price gouging.
Solution: Break up monopolies, punish anti-competitive behavior.
Problem: Irresponsible banking.
Solution: Un-repeal Glass-Steagall.
Problem: Expensive healthcare.
Solution: Universal healthcare. Don't even try to tell me we can't afford it.
But corporate profits will continue soaring as the wealth gap spreads like the cheeks of the working class getting fucked up the ass.
I ask because it would be nice to use the "I2P mixed mode" features of qbittorrent, but I want to keep my clearnet traffic on the VPN.
Background
I have I2PD running only on my home gateway for better tunnel uptime.
To ensure that torrent traffic never escapes the VPN tunnel, I have configured qbittorrent to use only the VPN Wireguard interface.
Problem
I think this means qbittorrent I2P traffic will flow into the VPN tunnel, but then the VPN host won't know how to route back to my home gateway where the SAM bridge is running.
I've configured my i2pd proxy correctly so things are somewhat working. I was able to visit notbob.i2p. But sometimes Firefox really likes to replace "http" with "https" when I click on a link or even enter the URL manually into the bar. I have "HTTPS-only mode" turned off, and I also have "browser.fixup.fallback-to-https" set to "false" and "network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist" to false.
I tried spying on the HTTP traffic in web dev tools, and I see the request gets NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST. This does not happen when using the xh CLI HTTP client, so Firefox is doing something weird with name resolution. I made sure to turn off the Firefox DNS over HTTPs setting as well, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
I assume that name resolution needs to happen in i2pd. How can I force Firefox to let that happen?
Update: Chrome works fine.
Update: I started fresh and simplified the setup and it seems fixed. I'm not entirely sure why. The only things I've changed from default are DoH and the manual HTTP proxy.
I was just reading through the interview process for RED, and they specifically forbid the use of VPN during the interview. I don't understand this requirement, and it seems like it would just leak your IP address to the IRC host, which could potentially be used against you in a honeypot scenario. Once they have your IP, they could link that with the credentials used with the tracker while you are torrenting, regardless of if you used VPN while torrenting.
I'm preparing for a new PC build, and I decided to try a new atomic OS after having been with NixOS for about a year.
First I tried Kinoite, then Bazzite, but even though KDE has a lot of features, I found it incredibly buggy, and it even had generally poor performance, especially in Firefox. I don't really have time to diagnose these issues, so I figured I would put in just a little more effort and migrate my Sway config to Fedora Sway Atomic.
I'm glad I did. The vanilla install of Fedora Sway is awesome. No bloat and very usable. I haven't noticed any bugs. Performance is excellent. And it was very straightforward to apply my sway config on top without losing the nice menu bar, since Fedora puts their sway config in /usr/share/sway.
I'm also quite happy with the middle ground of using an OSTree-based Linux plus Nix and Home Manager for my user config. I always thought that configuring the system-level stuff in Nix was the hardest part with the least payoff, but it was most productive to have a declarative config for my dev tools and desktop environment.
I originally tried NixOS because I wanted bleeding edge software without frequent breakage, and I bought into the idea of a declarative OS configuration with versioned updates and rollback. It worked out well, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't a big time investment to learn NixOS. I feel like there's a sweet spot with container images for a base OS layer then Nix and Home Manager for stuff that's closer to your actual workflows.
I might even explore building my own OS image on top of Universal Blue's Nvidia image.
Hope this path forward stays fruitful! I urge anyone who's interested in immutable distros to give this a try.
I've never felt the urge to make a PL until recently. I've been quite happy with a combination of Rust and Julia for most things, but after learning more about BEAM languages, LEAN4, Zig's comptime, and some newer languages implementing algebraic effects, I think I at least have a compelling set of features I would like to see in a new language. All of these features are inspired by actual problems I have programming today.
I want to make a language that achieves the following (non-exhaustive):
- significantly faster to compile than Rust
- at least has better performance than Python
- processes can be hot-reloaded like on the BEAM
- most concurrency is implemented via actors and message passing
- built-in pub/sub buses for broadcast-style communication between actors
- runtime is highly observable and introspective, providing things like tracing, profiling, and debugging out of the box
- built-in API versioning semantics with automatic SemVer violation detection and backward compatible deployment strategies
- can be extended by implementing actors in Rust and communicating via message passing
- multiple memory management options, including GC and arenas
- opt-in linear types to enable forced consumption of resources
- something like Jane Street's Ocaml "modes" for simpler borrow checking without lifetime variables
- generators / coroutines
- Zig's
comptimethat mostly replaces macros - algebraic data types and pattern matching
- more structural than nominal typing; some kind of reflection (via
comptime) that makes it easy to do custom data layouts like structure-of-arrays - built-in support for multi-dimensional arrays, like Julia, plus first-class support for database-like tables
- standard library or runtime for distributed systems primitives, like mesh topology, consensus protocols, replication, object storage and caching, etc
I think with this feature set, we would have a pretty awesome language for working in data-driven systems, which seems to be increasingly common today.
One thing I can't decide yet, mostly due to ignorance, is whether it's worth it to implement algebraic effects or monads. I'm pretty convinced that effects, if done well, would be strictly better than monads, but I'm not sure how feasible it is to incorporate effects into a type system without requiring a lot of syntactical overhead. I'm hoping most effects can be inferred.
I'm also nervous that if I add too many static analysis features, compile times will suffer. It's really important to me that compile times are productive.
Anyway, I'm just curious if anyone thinks this would be worth implementing. I know it's totally unbaked, so it's hard to say, but maybe it's already possible to spot issues with the idea, or suggest improvements. Or maybe you already know of a language that solves all of these problems.
Who are these for? People who use the terminal but don't like running shell commands?
OK sorry for throwing shade. If you use one of these, honestly, what features do you use that make it worthwhile?
I just commented on this post and it got removed very quickly. Then I noticed that all of the comments had been removed and the post is locked.
I cannot understand why this happened, as the comments section had seemed pretty reasonable to me.
This seems like bad moderation and I'm now less inclined to post or comment in the world news community. What should I do?
I tried messaging a mod that is seemingly online and actively posting, but I got no response.
After moving from lemmy.ml to programming.dev, I've noticed that web responses are fulfilled much more quickly, even for content on federated instances like lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.
It seems like this shouldn't make such a big difference. If a large instance is overloaded, it's overloaded, whether the traffic is coming from clients with accounts on that instance or from other federated instances.
Can this be explained entirely by response caching?
