  • The Linux kernel is just a program

    Jump

  • Well, the kernel is not “just a program” in that it is not like the other programs on your system. If it was, you would “just” run it in your shell. The kernel cannot run this way of course because it is not a user mode program.

    Actually...

  • Why are the graphs for the distribution of light from the Sun as a function of (a) frequency and (b) wavelength not exactly reversed?

    Jump

  • wow TIL sth as well I guess

  • Why are the graphs for the distribution of light from the Sun as a function of (a) frequency and (b) wavelength not exactly reversed?

    Jump

  • The frequency is not directly proportional to the wavelength - it's inversely proportional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)#Inverse_proportionality

    Think of this as this: The wavelength is the distance that light travels during one wave i.e. cycle. Light propagates with the speed of light, so the smaller the wavelength, it means the frequency must increase. If the wavelength gets two times lower, the frequency increases two times. If wavelength approaches 0, then frequency starts growing very quickly, approaching infinity.

    The plot is not a straight line but a hyperbola.

  • [SOLVED] How do I use my Logitech Mouse's DPI Shift feature with Piper/Libratbag?

    Jump

  • For Logitech devices there is also Solaar.

    You can check if it has the functionality you want (not sure, since I haven't used it much and only for basic stuff).

  • Systemd: Hidden Gems for a Better Linux

    Jump

  • Thinking about it from your point of view, maybe MS was right and Linux is a cancer too. Technically it behaves similarly to systemd, since most Unixes are actually Linuxes nowadays (excluding BSD ofc, but they are still in the minority, similarly to alternatives to systemd). It even is a binary blob as well!

    Should every distro use/develop a different kernel? Should we focus our resources on providing alternatives and again have a multitude of different Unix versions, every incompatible with each other? Isn't it better that we have this solid foundation and make it as good as it can be?

    Overall I think standardization of init is not so bad, just like adopting the Linux kernel was. It is actually quite nice that you can hop from distro to distro and know what to expect from such a basic thing as init process.

    Anyways, in Linux land you actually have a possibility to replace it. Granted, it is not as easy, however there are plenty of distros that allow you to ditch systemd in favor of something else.

  • The Whole Fediverse is Wholesome [fixed]

    Jump

  • Lot of folks from Eastern Europe will agree on that.

    I believe current social issues need fixing - maybe even adopting some radical changes. E.g. I still can't get over the fact that capitalism allows for existence of something as ridiculous as billionaires - real life wealth 'black holes'. And that's just the start. On the other hand, there are some things that capitalism does extremely well, e.g. competitive markets are very good at producing cheap goods and can drive innovation (when disallowing monopolies). So maybe the right path for us is somewhere between the two extremes?

    Anyways, while I understand the distaste for capitalism for some folks and the feeling that it failed them and working people below CEO level in general, I still can't get over the fact that lots of neo-communists use USSR as a role model. The only people in that country who benefited from that system were the people at the top and those with connections to them (sounds somewhat familiar, doesn't it?). IMO anybody trying to base their political views on communist ideology should cut off entirely from the USSR and simply deem it as a failed state (that was only communist by name) with too much blood on their hands. Definitely not something that we want to go back to.

  • Antivirus recomendations

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think most of the times, if you don't run very sensitive enterprise grade machine there isn't much point to it.

    Maybe run it once in a while if you really want to.

  • Generating new knowledge typically starts with a study. Now, libraries struggle to afford them

    Jump

  • Agree completely. Tbh I was very surprised that YOU need to pay to get published. I think it should be the other way around, as publishers should care about publishing the most quality content possible and not reaping researchers off just because they are considered 'prestigious'.

    SciHub is nice (and unsurprising in this ecosystem), but there should be a legal/not copyright infringing way to provide access to scientific papers.

  • Generating new knowledge typically starts with a study. Now, libraries struggle to afford them

    Jump

  • No wonder something like SciHub exists.

  • Is FOSS really safe?

    Jump

  • Agreed. I'd say with open source it is harder to 'get away' with malicious features, since the code is out in the open. I guess if authors were to put those features, open nature of their code also serves as a bit of a deterrent sice there is a much bigger possibility of people finding out compared to closed source. However as you said it is not impossible, especially since not many people look through the code of everything they run. And even then it is not impossible to obfuscate it well enough for it not to be spotted on casual read-through.
