  • So there is no way with Rsync (under ssh) to set settings (config file or other) that will apply to all clients !!??
    So it’s the client that configure rsync and the server !? there is no way around ?!

    You basically want to use the daemon but under ssh. I looked into this before, and I think it is possible but the command for it is weird and confusing. Wish I remembered it, but just commenting to say that I vaguely remember there’s a way (or maybe I’m hallucinating).











  • What definition of race are you going by?

    Oxford dictionary: “a group of people who share the same language, history, culture, etc.”

    Merrian Webster dictionary: "any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry

    Also: a group of people sharing a common cultural, geographical, linguistic, or religious origin or background"

    Are you really still using debunked race science concepts in 2024?

    Just because you group people based on a different construct does not mean you aren’t racist. What’s next, islamophobia is okay too?



  • What does a programmer need?

    • a text editor or IDE
    • language specific tool chains for building, running and testing your code

    This doesn’t seem to be something a distro can solve beyond making it possible to install this stuff.

    Maybe the closest is nixos, because it allows a lot of flexibility in setting up different development environments that are fully reproducible. Gentoo is also close, as it allows the same but in a different way (without the extent of reproducible guarantees).

    Two questions:

    • do you admit that, comparing only its functionalities as an init system, systemd provides no benefits over alternatives?
    • what non-init functionalities does systemd provide, which are necessary and beats competition from other software that provides those features?

    Sure, the alternative init systems don’t provide non init functionalities, but other software probably does.



  • Don’t entirely discount a project only because it is funded by the US government. Do take that as a big yellow flag, but not auto reject. Better to just asses the project for what it is with caution.

    I find it much more likely that the US government has a huge interest in giving the public access to secure communication software that would be unbreakable by surveillance from a typical government. Why? Because those are the governments that are enemies of the US, and where the US is interested in regime change. And the existence of this software is much more influential towards regime change in those countries, rather than being threat to the US.

    In fact, these softwares are barely a threat to the US. The US has no issue with them existing because they have such a powerful hold on their state.
