You can skip the porting part.

Ofcourse they can. But which particular person will do it ?

The "upstream" people deal with their own drivers, subsystems or tasks which takes up their time - but if someone feels they want to take on this too, they'll do it (normally that doesn't happen - it's up to the original authors to take responsibility)

users , especially non-technical, find it highly useful in my experience. Is it a net positive to get rid of them, or will it largely only make developers happier ?

I've set up a local gitea now, and configured a few local runners as we test this setup out.

It's a few hours worth of work. Basic git operations and pull requests works fine for us already.

The interesting part will be how much maintenance this will need, and not the least how hard it'll be to port over github actions. We have trivial workflows, but I suspect this conversion will be the painful part.

So by coincidence, not by design then.

Not really. Wifi does not do CSMA/CD. It does CSMA/CA, something quite different.

Wifi is in any case not considered a bus network, rather a star topology network.

> But... Why on earth do the people filing an administrative subpoena not have to notify the interested parties too?

Generally they do - with some notable exceptions being if you're a non-citizen and you're no longer in the US, and it's either a criminal investigation or related to intelligence or national security.

Yes, the code in the article will at one unlucky point end up with an empty file after a power outage.

At least write to a temp file(in the same filesystem), fsync the file and its folder and rename it over the original.

It just means "noone" uses the wayland APIs directly, but instead they leave the wayland complexity to GTK,Qt or FLTK, and they call their app a Qt app, not a Wayland app.

A typical CPU heatsink dissipates 10-30% of heat through radiation, and the rest through convection. In space you're in a vacuum so you can't disipated heat through convection.

You need to rework your physical equipment quite substantially to make up for the fact you can't shed 70-90% of the heat in the same manner as you can down here on Earth
