"Nothing"

Has any loud anounced technological breaktrough come to pass?
-> No

This won't happen here also.

Because we have: "Claims claims claims and claims"

When you have the breakthrough you just demonstrate it, you don't just announce it and tell as cons "Requires Extensive Testing, Longevity Of Internal Components Not Yet Known, Materials May ost the Manufacturer"

btw. this is cute //Materials "may" cost the manufacturer// .. a fortune.

Not the fastest horse, but really reliable and without too many pestering questions what-not-lib to install.

Easy to keep up2date.

Do you want to shine a light on the reduced view of that very general explanation, that everything that has a positive temperature coefficient expands when heated and contracts when cooled, hold up true, if not undergoing a phase change or has a triple point(h2o for exmaple -> 4ÂC), during those cycles?

It claims to be 100% free and open source under fucking "GPL" that in itself is a statement of quality and anker of trust.

But .. try to find that source code on the website, I looked for it and found nothing.

some quick googling brought this up
https://sourceforge.net/projec...

That version naming is also very reassuring.

Sorry guys, but this website in itself stank even on the first look.

But let me say it in the name of random stock photo female customer "Kristen Pawlson" with a fucking praising comment

Who needs adware when you can serve malware, malware much better bucks for the squeeze.

"Anyway, what Linux user downloads apps from random websites?"

I call that "Ignorant Bliss" of the apt-getters,
because yes those package systems have maintainers etc.. and build systems - but the source code could be compromised.

Don't use apt?
-> how about npm?

There was malware in the supply chains all over in the past, and when the source code repository is manipulated and not detected even apt-packages will be build from that, ready to install on your computer just one click away .. .. have you ever counted the amount of downloadable "3rd party" packages in the distro's repo?

Do you think that total supply chain hygene is possible?

"Ukraine is going to do what Napoleon and Hitler couldn't do."

You need to get your logic right: Ukraine is the attacked nation with Napi and Adolf it was the other way around.

"when we are using them"

past or present tense? But it is intersting to see videographic evidence that those weapons the way they are using it, do work.

From that information I must attribute that to the competence of the Ukrainians.

The first video I showed every intern/newbie that needed to create a presentation with Power Point - and I think Don saved many sane minds from going insane by insanely bad Power Point Presentations.

And basically from that sketch you can derive how to make presentations ranging from good to excellent and not loose your audience.

The mentioned procedure is in contrast not cutting into safety margins, because you apply safety factors/margins any time you don't know the real condition or behaviour, when you have that data at hand the safety margin will become expensive overhead.

However when the sensors stop working or the data transmission is blocked you need to got back to the conservative calculations.

Are you trying to make an argument out of senseless statements?

1.) LFS worked and - still - works

2.) And one of the problems with Linux was non-existent for FreeBSD as the userland comes from one distribution and not from the plethora I mentioned.

I think, that is a great idea.

However first we need to discuss the understanding of that term:
"Linux" is mostly refered too as being the kernel, and well there is the "mainline" (kernel.org) Linux Kernel.

But I think the post meant "Standard Linux" in the sense of at least a userland.

The term userland could be extended to a plethora of wayland, X, KDE, Gnome, Mate, and what not .. but that discussion would take away the focus, so I for my self will define Standard Linux now

define:
A Kernel compiled with default config with a basic minimal set of userland that enable a person or an automation system to build or install all other software needed, from there on.

And basically we have that with LFS:
https://www.linuxfromscratch.o...

However with the basic requirement of at first build the build environment. The advent of LFS was nearly revolutionary, but that is now forgotten.
My take is: whoever has gotten through the manual process of downloading all packages, building LFS, and operating it will gain a deeper understanding of the basic problem with the "basic Standard Linux Distribution" "b.S.L.D." along the different licenses the packages carry.

But I would like to take the time to have you take a look at the FreeBSD src tree (user land in this case)

https://github.com/freebsd/fre...

What might interest you is the naming of the sub-directories named for example "cat", "cp", "dd", .. actually the names of your favourite userland tools that I think would define also "Linux" to you.

And when you enter one of such directories you will spot:
1.) make-file
2.) make-dependency-file
3.) a. ".1" file, which is the man-page for the tool
4.) a ".c" file

FreeBSD has every userland tool that for Linux is divided into many sub-src-"packages" - read LFS-book for a better term - inside this source tree.

And when you'd want to learn about the operation of a command you can just open it up in "vi", even edit it and just call make / make install when inside the corresponding directory and then you will have your own version of the corresponding tool

"How does vi-work" - look here:
https://github.com/freebsd/fre...

btw. "freebsd-update" for example can also update the src-components, not only the binaries

And when you'd want to take a look at the package manager:
https://github.com/freebsd/fre...

which handles everything aside from the kernel and basic userland.

Yeah, like calling the cops on an armed gang, in front of Walmart and later realizing that it was just the local GOP open and concealed carry intrest group and not a group of rascist lunatics on an amok stroll.

I for one await the day when open and concealed carry groups and swat teams open fire on each other because nobody knew who the "shooter" was, because everybody had a gun and was firing at a person drawing a gun. I call that day: "Gun Domino Day" - a Terrentino flick not yet produced.

Yeah, same thought here, that article is just hystery.

And I want to add the 10-15% part of the population with hereditary, acquired, or medically induced immunodeficiencies, and the part of the population where a vaccination will just fail. That would create on the one hand a breading ground for a virus meaning time to reproduce - and therefore to mutate and on the other hand the rising death toll would not come unnoticed.

However I do not argument against general propper preparation for a future virus outbreak, Covid19 should have taught us a thing or two.
