Anyone else walk away from reading this, and looking at other articles there, and get a weird feeling about that site? Like, there was some weird stuff about migrants and gender equality, and stuff about Islamic terror; mixed in with some digging into Freedom Fuel, and some other stuff about how "wealthy families want to stop growth". It's like the guy is wielding an ax of AI at any and all of the "elite" he can find?

Hey there, thank you for pushing this out. I saw there's a 0.6.1 update now, that also reboots the machine after updating. I don't remember if it said it'd do said reboot...

Ugh... I don't use agents, but I do use AI-assistance to try to resolve problems I run into with code I use. I'm not committing for the Hell of it, and this kind of thing makes it harder for people like me to collaborate with other folks on real issues. It feels like for AI agents, there need to be the kind of guardrails in place we otherwise reserve for Human children.

(shrugs) Maybe we need to start putting some kind of "RULES.MD" file on repos, that direct AI agents to behave in certain ways. Or have GitHub and maybe other ecosystems have a default ruleset you can otherwise override?

What the heck is this even? Its just a paragraph, with no backing evidence. And the blog has one other thing, that's a "test".

Well, there also seems to be concerns over testosterone levels & fertility. Combined with attempts to reduce birth control & abortion, and you come away with an expectation they intend to breed their way out of losses (returning again to the eugenics overtones). Someone was also recently quoted as saying measles outbreaks "are the cost of doing business".

I have a hot take that MAHA is a modern eugenics movement; that prioritizes access to the Free Market as a provider of good health and relies on Darwinian outcomes for the population at large. Everything's about avoiding autism ("feeblemindedness" anyone?), perceived physical weakness (never mind the gender-related overtones), and collective responsibility (maybe your Mom didn't eat enough of the new food pyramid, so now you're more likely to get polio, or something). There are some rather profane conclusions to be made from this belief system.

I think stuff like this, is trying to recreate a world that doesn't exist anymore. With whom, are you gonna go play in the woods with, that haven't already been bulldozed into housing and strip malls? Do you need to watch YouTube only on a parent's TV that's logged in, even for homework help? Some kids start working at 14 or 15: they can be trusted to work somewhere outside of home, but not online? What about Steam games? What about any games? What about hobby & fan forums, that have nothing to do with "grooming" or grabbing eyeballs? What's next, an Internet license?

This shouldn't be mistaken for an anti-IPv6 post. There's also some steps you have to go through to enable IPv6 on your VPS networks, and there's still stuff like GitHub not handling IPv6. So, much as we need to migrate, we still have to support IPv4 connectivity for the foreseeable future.

Shoutout to Hacker News for having IPv6 support!

Assigning an IP is ideal if you're having to whitelist traffic to/from a data center, application, or service.

Just looked it up: looks cool & added it to wishlist. Did you happen to play "Solar 2" years back?

Hey there. Came across this a while ago, but glad to see it alive & kicking. Two questions...

1. Is there going to be a disk image/installer for 25.08, or is that supposed to be self-compiled?

2. Does the OS download missing components on its own or something? The 25.04 image on the website is only 30+ MB.

Thanks!

The proposed remedy seems fine. What stuck out to me is the "Trump-Vance" attribution: I haven't seen something like that since the election.

Looks interesting, but few comments on the forum & even a negative vote count ATM. Format kinda looks "old school" in terms of defining records, but I guess that can be a positive in some circumstances?

There are a LOT of ISPs on this list. I wonder what's going to happen to all the legitimate VOIP users? No more cable phone lines, effectively?
