is it still owned by tencent?

how does it compare to yt-dlp?

Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.

inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better)

for drawing: try krita

if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop

the goldberg-steamcrack supports multiplayer. https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator

I only tested it in lan, and it works great. Not sure if it works online, too. You may need hamachi.

And of course: online multiplayer with randos is probably not worth it, as others have pointed out. On one hands it’s probably a bitch to set up. On the other cheating is probably rampant.

it’s safe to assume there are similar issues in closed source. A big part of the snowden leaks was about how NSA could access lots of data at will. It wouldn’t surprise me if they also could execute code.

Also there is stuxnet. But I am not sure, if there were intentional backdoors, or only some “natural occuring” RCE.

“sudo MacOS” sounds like a legit way to describe “gnome+ubuntu”

KDE on steamdeck, because it came preinstalled

Gnome on work-pc, because it came preinstalled

also gnome on notebook, because the multi-workspace thing works very nice OOTB in gnome

is stateless possible without kubernetes? (and without vendor lock in?)

GP said:

RE: Containers, even if you DO go that route, do you really need Kubernetes, which will come at an additional monetary and also maintenance cost? The likely answer at least initially is a big fat “no”.

I agree, that good cloud engineers can save costs in the cloud. But I also think good non-cloud engineers, can save much much more.

When you are rewriting your entire stack to leverage cloud performance, you could probably spend a similar effort for a rewrite that increases regular performance by a similar factor.

RE: Containers, even if you DO go that route…

I was under the impression, that stateless stuff without containers requires a strong vendor login (aws lambda, google functions, azure function). Are you saying, I could do stateless without vendor-lockin and without containers and without kubernetes? This is news to me. Please point me to some resources

what does “get surprised on their own call” mean?

I just want to point out, that what you are saying sounds good in an ideal world. But the realitiy looks different. (I actually typed out some points, but then I remembered that I don’t want to engage in yet another lengthy internet-debate, that ultimately comes down to personal preferences and philosophy)

it’s all of them

I’m no security expert and the sensible thing to do is using a library instead of taking a class.

Counterpoint: “not knowing your libraries” + “blind trust in the maintainer” will give you stuff like this: https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml/issues/561/cve-2022-1471-vulnerability-in

(the thread itself is worth a read. But also very impressive is the list of big players who fell for exactly this mentality)

EMBRACE

for me it was on a pi5. maybe the amd64 was what made it work for me? idk.

snappy it feels versus the official rpi OS

I blame the desktop manager. Once I ditched the default von on the pi, and replaced it with standard gnome, the pi became almost as snappy as my regular notebook.

in general: standard debian should be exactly as light-weight as arch.

thanks!

thank god

does that matter? I though only the voltage and wattage would play a role
