It’s not that bad. A lot of our servers at work use Windows. It certainly took some getting used to as someone who has been using Linux on all their devices, but it does work.
I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

Programming@programming.dev•OpenAI joins The Rust Foundation as a Platinun member and donates funds to support Rust maintenanceEnglish
5·12 days agoGreat choice, using some of that VC money for things that actually benefit the world

Programming@programming.dev•Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?English
4·25 days agoGo seems like a good option to begin with; you can do a lot with it, and it’s not that complicated but does expose you to concepts like pointers.
There are plenty of very “serious” systems written in Go (e.g. Kubernetes), it’s not a toy language.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
5·1 month agoI’d say go ahead but make sure it produces accurate enough results and make sure to add something like [AI Transcribed] in front so people can take the potential for additional errors into consideration when reading it.
Also, if you’re using an online service make sure you’re using something that doesn’t use it as training data. Many (probably almost all) artists / photographers won’t appreciate that.

2·1 month agoAlmost all OCR tools use machine learning AFAIK, the commonly used Tesseract OCR software also uses a neural network.
It certainly isn’t AGI, but AI just means machine learning nowadays.

Linux@programming.dev•Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’English
2·1 month agoWell, they already use Bugzilla. Although I personally do not find it particularly intuitive to use.

11·1 month agoIt would make it easier for people to find if a bug has already been reported, which is what Torvalds mentions as being a problem.

Programming@programming.dev•Converting x86 binaries to arm binaries in placeEnglish
5·2 months agoE.g. when you have a proprietary program that is only available on x86, but you want to run it on ARM.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Which instances have the most ban-happy moderators? Analysis insideEnglish
1·2 months agoCould you make a graph with defederations? I suspect that plays a role

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Which instances have the most ban-happy moderators? Analysis insideEnglish
4·2 months agoI think they’re defederated from poorly moderated instances and therefore don’t need to ban as many users. Perhaps db0 doesn’t defederate as often?

Opensource@programming.dev•NHS Goes To War Against Open SourceEnglish
28·2 months agoWe are obviously looking at things like Mythos, which is more sophisticated at finding vulnerabilities. In the next week or so, we will be changing our tack on coding the open and making our code public until we’re on top of that risk.
Most of our repos, unless they’re essential, will be removed for security reasons.
Security by obscurity because security vulnerabilities don’t exist if you can’t see them
Assuming reliability is the priority I would suggest going with Tailscale Funnels or a cheap VPS acting as intermediary.
I don’t have a lot of experience with dealing with GCNAT, but perhaps you could look into some solution with UPnP or RFC 6887.

2·2 months agoobject_store does indeed also support WebDAV among a variety of other protocols, Apache Druid or Apache Pinot probably would be better examples. My only experience with WebDAV is with Nextcloud and hasn’t been that great because it has been very slow, probably should look into it sometime.
EDIT: Apparently it supports CAS, and even has a locking mechanism

1·2 months agoMany cloud providers offer S3-compatible storage, so it’s a common protocol to use in applications. There are even some databases like SlateDB that fully rely on object storage for everything. Supporting more API’s is extra work (unless you’re using OpenDAL) so most people pick S3 compatible API’s because they’re the most widely supported across all cloud platforms.

2·2 months agoS3 isn’t just an AWS thing anymore. It has kind of become the standard object storage protocol, and almost every cloud provider uses it aside from a few the made their own API’s (e.g. Azure Blob storage)

17·2 months agoMany cloud providers offer S3-compatible storage, so it’s a common protocol to use in applications. There are even some databases like SlateDB that fully rely on object storage for everything. Being able to have local S3 compatible storage is useful if you want the storage of your local machine while still doing so over a widely compatible protocol.
