you’re using alpine+docker with systemd?


I wonder if a dual-licensed non-commercial + paid commercial approach could work, but from my experience with FOSS developers, they tend to view non-commercial licenses as sacrilege…


Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it’s far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.
Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it’s nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.
It’s like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It’s like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that’s open source. You get no power and you get no money.
It’s exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not mean that you didn’t exploit them. And for the record that’s how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that’s exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.
I really don’t see the “we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license”, all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there’s solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it’s the standard “real communism has never been tried” argument. AGPL is the only thing that I’ve seen so far that’s an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.


This… every time I have created a github issue, I was personally attacked by Kovid and the issue was closed immediately after their response.


He is a massive dickhole that is abusive to every single user he interacts with online.


dgVoodoo2 has worked fine for me for years for DX7 and earlier on wine. lutris already supports it natively.
Or if a VM is needed, qemu+softgpu has been much faster for me than pcem/86box.


It uses DRM/KMS to enable OpenGL (and probably Vulkan too) on the console without needing a display server like Xorg or Wayland. Or if that’s too blasphemous for you, there is a libcaca driver.


RetroArch works just fine from the command-line.


Usually entire repos are disabled in that case. I’ve never tried to access hidden content on a DMCA-removed repo, but I assume it would not work.


There’s lots of content sitting just below the surface on github. Any time you make a PR on a repo, even if it gets closed or “deleted” by the repo owner, the actual link to the file itself stays there forever if you save it. Github’s own dmca repo even has warez links on it, sitting there for years.
5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:
Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines
Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)
You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods
Your company policy requires it
Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing
Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Linux at all.


Yea every network may do things differently… in my case tcp/443 openvpn is blocked at several places that I frequent.


I assume this is because, in addition to the missing ciphers as referenced in the linked article, OpenVPN, even though it uses TLS, it initially uses a very identifiable handshake before initiating TLS, which is not hard to block. I have personally had problems specifically with OpenVPN being targeted/blocked in this way.


did you read the article?


Well… like Bill Clinton said, it depends on what the definition of “is” is.


I have the feeling that limiting yourself to Gemini would guarantee you basically only ever communicate with the weirdest of the weird.
It’s explained in great detail on the website
