Inexperienced, poorly trained and underfed: the North Korean troops heading to Ukraine
Kim Jong-un has called his army the ‘strongest in the world’ but they are vulnerable to malnutrition, and none have seen combat or know the terrain in Russia’s warJustin McCurry (The Guardian)
My personal list, in descending order of usefulness, goes -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wwrite-strings and maybe also -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes.
-Wconversion catches bugs that nothing else catches but it also complains about a whole bunch of perfectly fine and idiomatic constructs. The prototypes ones used to be really helpful when dealing with code that was written pre-1990, but nowadays they mainly help you find functions that you forgot to mark "static".

Saw the following on the comment thread where I learned about the 64 MB RAM requirement for OpenWrt (where I also commented):
> These days I mostly write code for systems with 256 KiB of RAM, so struggling with 64 MiB seems a bit excessive.
Just now, I wish I had chosen to work on that kind of embedded software. I guess I still could, at least as a side project. I know I'm doing important work where I'm at though, even if I have to tolerate the unconstrained excess of Electron and the like.

Random linux question: I have my command history, in Linux, but not a record of command outputs. Now that text is as close to free as makes no difference, should we not store both? Command executed, standard-out resulting, all stored?
Given screamingly fast IO and effectively infinite drive space, at least as far as text is concerned, it's sort of remarkable how much useful information we just accidentally throw away these days, how little we routinely save.
@federicomena I've done the same for years and I still use screen(1). My uptime is usually measured in months, interrupted by the occasional kernel upgrade. A terminal scrollback for three months of output is a couple of megs. It's possible to write it to disk automatically.
Keeping this habit has made me more cautious about running commands that might generate a lot of output spew, like cat'ing a file before checking its size. I'm not positive this is an improvement.

New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub
You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.
It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

Hello everyone!
I write my bachelor's thesis about Mastodon as an alternative social network and how its users perceive the platform.
I would be greateful if you would particpate in my survey:
umfragen.uni-paderborn.de/inde…
It only takes 10-15 minutes and would help me a lot.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
In case you want to support me, you can repost the access link, which would also help me.
Thank you!
This Questions are problematic, I think:
* Mastodon’s actions against any harmful content are sufficient.
* Mastodon’s actions against the spread of fake news are sufficient.
For this, the admins/ moderators are responsible and not Mastodon.

it's astonishing how often this happens in my line of work:
client: can you review our source code for security issues?
me: of course!
[we stare at each other in a long, tense silence]
me: ... may I see the source code?
client: absolutely not.
In a past life, I worked on a compiler that the DoE used. I never had to handle their bug reports and was quite glad. The flow was:
Them: It doesn't work.
Us: In what way?
Them: That's classified. The wrong number comes out of the program.
Us: What program?
Them: That's classified.
Us: Can you send us a reduced test case?
Six months pass while the reduced test case is declassified, which involves review that it does not leak anything about the Super Secret Program that it's based on.
The reduced test case does not trigger the bug. Apparently the original did, but en route to being declassified the parts that triggered the bug were removed.
Gajim is currently migrating from GTK3 to GTK4. 🔧 GTK is Gajim's user interface toolkit. It provides building blocks, like windows, buttons and labels. 🧩
Version 4 of this toolkit brings performance improvements to Gajim, e.g. faster rendering of user interface elements. 💨
Additionally, switching to GTK4 allows Gajim to use newer widgets, like nice drop downs.
Here is a quick peek at a new group chat "@ mention" widget. 😎
Stay tuned!
