So yeah, starting a project that does more than a couple of things here and there, includes working with complex data structures and relies on multi-threaded code, might "fix it" for him/her 😏

@birdulon @nyanide
I can totally see where this is coming from: on the outside C is a very simple language, C++ and especially Rust code — with type conversions and fighting the borrow checker might seem like a clusterfuck with lots of superfluity. And when you only make small things you don't even realise that this simplicity comes at a price.
Same for Go really — except you can do more complex things with it, and I think they have ruined the language with generics.

So this is what "Ethernet vampire taps" look like 😲

China looks to enhance soybean industry cooperation with Russia: https://www.moscowtimes.ru/2024/10/30/china-looks-to-enhance-soybean-industry-cooperation-with-russia-a146351

Literally… 😏

@nyanide
Just get hardware that's better supported by OpenBSD next time — that would solve the performance issue. Computers nowadays are so overpowered anyway that I can hardly imagine that being a major issue, the lack of a mature Bluetooth stack might be a problem for some though.

@PurpCat
Most "localised" hardware is rebadged Chinese solutions, but when it comes to software it's even worse — no one wants to touch anything Russian unless required by the law: I can remember government organisations still investing in solutions based on Oracle and even DB2 and buying new licenses in 2016 (!), when it was already obvious that it would become a problem really soon. And I'm pretty sure they still use all that — just without support or paying licensing fees.

@PurpCat
That is so! When it comes to industrial equipment and heavy machinery, a lot of stuff still gets imported through proxy countries, with consumer stuff the overhead costs make it non-viable though and yes, China became a major player: more than half of cars imported last year were Chinese brands, most consumer electronics is Chinese too.
With computer equipment I was always skeptical about this whole localisation thing…

Is the backend lighter than Blemora? I've been eyeing it for using with Bloat for quite some time.

@Tony
From the sidelines it looks incredibly silly, but I expect it to be great fun when you take part 😄

@xianc78 @PurpCat
Besides, no one is denying participation — everyone can still send in patches, no one's even stripping them of their credits for contributing, the devs were excluded from *MAINTAINERS* only — had they handled it better, shit wouldn't even hit the fan. But Linus not only did it like an asshole (his usual thing), but as an utter dumbfuck too — I'm not new to this, but even I was somewhat… bamboozled🤪

@xianc78 @PurpCat
No one would use it outside of government organisations and state-owned companies, which would probably have to if they pass a related law, but I won't expect them to be adding features either — same as with "Russian alternative" to… anything really, it would likely become another sinkhole for government spending and would die out of natural causes (lack of interest) in a couple of years.

@amydentata
Right? I couldn't even expect it to be the case, no analog inputs of any sort — okay, fine… but no headphone jack?! 😲
Still debatable, but one could justify its absence on a phone — miniaturisation, water resistance, etc… But this 50" thing, always sitting in the living room? Oh, come on!

@alice
Somehow this reminds me of Busdriver's RoadKillOvercoat cover art 😹

@millihertz Some newer Samsung TVs don't have any other audio output except for Bluetooth and HDMI-based eARC though.
And I have to go into the trouble of making my laptop act as a Bluetooth speaker or hook the laptop to the TV and plug the my wired headphones into it in order to watch a movie late at night 😩

@skylar @MK2boogaloo
I would definitely start working on an autonomous local network infrastructure: chats, forums that people could access without "global" Internet. Maybe people could come together and find someone cool they could interact with in the neighbourhood 🤷
