Not exactly what you’re asking for, but I’ll share what I do. I’m using SaltStack to do config management and one of my salt states brings all packages up to date. This is done every 24 hours. I’m not suggesting you install SaltStack just for that but rather pointing out for people who use config management tools that those might be able to handle unattended upgrades.

Ignore the noise and use Ubuntu LTS. Subscribe for the free Ubuntu Pro service. Enjoy boring, trouble-free operation.

If you’re hell bent on not using Ubuntu, use Debian. Enjoy boring, trouble-free operation.

In either case, use Docker. I don’t know what the version of Docker is in Debian but in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, it’s recent enough so you don’t have to f around with third party repos.

I see this parroted now and then. Often the people I’ve heard it from are the type of folks who would drastically underestimate the complexity and effort needed to make things. I’ve also seen and worked on codebases made by such folks and usually it ain’t pretty, or maintainable, or extensible, or secure, or [insert fav cut corners here].

I think you’re not focusing on the part that they were made in Chinese-owned slave shops in Italy, by slave labor illegally smuggled from China.

That actually makes the most sense. So similar to how Linux was started.

I guess Chromium isn’t fully BSD. This could be the reason. Although I’d think reimplementing the non-BSD bits in Chromium would be less work than reimplementing all the bits, including the BSD ones.

Why are open source software monocultures bad? The vast majority of non-Windows OSes are Linux based. Teams who don’t like certain decisions of the mainline Linux team maintain their forks with the needed changes.

Manifest V3 is a great example of this. You can only backport for so long, especially when upstream is being adversarial to your changes. We need an unaffiliated engine that corrects the mistakes we made with KHTML/Webkit.

And we could get a functional one today by forking Chromium and never accepting a single upstream patch thereafter. I find it really hard to believe that starting a browser engine from scratch would require less labor. This is why I’m looking for an alternative motive. Someone mentioned licensing. Or perhaps some folks just want to do a new browser engine. After all Linus did just that, instead of forking the BSD kernel.

Any intuition on why we’d expect opening the same page on a newly implemented browser engine that implements all equivalent standards and functions will consume less resources?

I do not understand the urge to start from scratch instead of forking an existing, mature codebase. This is typically a rookie instinct, but they aren’t rookie so there’s perhaps an alternative motive of some sort.

Even as far back as 2010 the corpo I worked for had an official travel protocol that dictated backing up Blackberries, factory resetting them, crossing the border, then restoring them from the cloud. That was for crossing any border.

As many have pointed out, price wise it’s not competitive. But more than that, the main feature of the Pi is its software support. I buy a Pi not because it’s got the top specs but because I know I can load a rock solid OS with security support and I won’t have to think about it. This is a problem for every Pi competitor.

On one hand I’d like it if the Democrats put up someone more certain to beat Trump. On the other Joe has shown he supports labor and things are moving in the right direction in that regard. I’d hate it to get a neoliberal Democrat that halts this progress.

Was in Italy recently and had lots of shots there. The sugar packets they gave out were hefty.

Perhaps to people who are used to watching ad infested cable and don’t pay for ad-free streaming. So it’s not that ads aren’t detracting from the experience but that some folks are used to it.

It isn’t? You might be looking at a different market.

If you were actually able to set it up via ssh,

I never said that.

I’m on Ubiquity’s payroll, definitely. I’m expecting a check in the mail any day now.

Oh for sure. I ran them without a controller for years. I only set it up to do a wireless bridge.

Perfect. This is consistent with what I was thinking and that Cloudflare’s changes won’t fix any recent bundles that might include malicious code.

For home, second hand Ubiquity might be. You can get flying saucers taken off from corpo upgrades for dirt cheap.

I was able to SSH into mine and I’m running their Docker container with a Unifi Controller instead of a cloud key.
