What he probably means is data-races in go can result in memory/type unsafe accesses -- I suspect, likely due to slice types -- not sure if that is true/false.

I like this approach. Thank you.

Would it work if a user's device that is already connected to the VPN, but has custom DNS override to say 8.8.8.8 ? How can I allow my users to be able to use 8.8.8.8 DNS override and still work seamlessly?

There used to be a Debian Live iso builder website for building custom Debian Live isos. It probably is discontinued, I can't seem to find it anymore.

Only looked at the first two examples. No language can save you when one writes bad code like that.

Can you give me an example that I can reproduce?

> No. It's undefined behaviour, it may do anything or nothing.

This is clearly nonsense.

Doesn't null-pointer-dereference always crash the application?

Is it only an undefined-behavior because program-must-crash is not the explicitly required by these languages' specs?

My favorite monospace font is "Ubuntu Mono" for ages.

As an engineer, I like to see -- for the lack of better word -- some taste instead of characters being too formal and too symmetric. Ubuntu and Ubuntu-Mono satisfy this to a good extent without being too much, like in comic sans.

The closest font with similar taste, which I found recently is Mononoki

I am actually more interested in removing/reducing even more features from Go than adding more features.

Is anyone able to get streaming audio to text conversion working with whisper.cpp?

I tried several times to get this into a reasonable shape, but all have been failures. If anyone has pointers I really appreciate it.

I am not a sysadmin -- so I keep forgetting the command to see logs cause I only need it once every 3 months.

So, systemd change is a pain for me.
