The problem with Rust is the compile time and build temp files. But that is not a problem once shipped. It is more about developers need to know more now

Why? Anything that ship should be precompiled like c code is today. If you want to compile everything yourself then move to Gentoo. If you need a programmering language then just install it. In my opinion now with AI able to write code in many languages, I see no need for Python anymore. Python is slow with high memory usage. I would rather see them replace Python with Go.
Yes, I dont know much about conpiler dependency.

Linux@programming.dev•Ubuntu 26.10 Has Come Out as a Rust-Packed Interim Release
4·27 days agoChange => changing behavior etc. That is not a problem at all as long as it 100% compatible - which in this case is very hard to prove. The way to introduce change is therefore to say it is a new, different, standard. API version 2 or a new protocol, and let users migrate over to that by requesting the new version/protocol etc.
One difference is though that Ubuntu 26.10 is a new release(not LTS) so you would need to have a migration process anyway.

71·27 days agoThere are probably edge cases and you might not know about them until you actually run into them by running a script or similar but then it is to late as people dont want things to break. There is 30 years of testing, and expected behavior, behind on what we have today.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I built a free offline dictation app for Linux. Hold a key, talk, and it types.
1·28 days ago- I am on wired workstation computer - it does not have a battery
- Turning off power management in that tool help. Nice, now I can use it for real 😁 Maybe have menu “Dictation Service” -> Power Management On/Off would have helped me or something.
- When power management on and it were inactive, then when I pressed the hotkey button to talk or use the CLI --toggle, then I would expect it to actually start the service and show the splash counter and listen. Currently the user have to go to the menu and start the service manually if it has been idle. CLI show: “TuxTalk is loading its speech model. Recording starts as soon as it’s ready.” but I don’t know when I can start to speak as I never see anything.
As far as showing the text as you speak, I tried that before and there’s a slight delay and I found that you’re trying to read it as you’re speaking and it just messes up your cadence because you’re still speaking as you’re reading what you just said. I’ll look into that again if people seem to really want that, but in practice I found it very distracting. Is there something else that you use where that works properly and you find it to be valuable?
-
Showing the text to me is just about knowing when to stop talking as it failed to recognized the correct language. I use the parakeet model that can’t limit language. However, I don’t know if I really need that feature, I will test more.

This is better than Handy for me as it does not cut the first letter in the output text and it does not consume 1 GB of RAM.
-
In snippets I have an idea to ‘You say’ and have an action to just run a command line program. Then I could have You say ‘Open firefox in incognito mode’ to run the command ‘firefox -private-window’. But maybe that is better suited for other applications that have AI and try to be assistents.

1·28 days agoThank you! Request for improvement: show the text as I speak.
Edit: I notice on Fedora KDE Wayland that the Dictation Service just stops after a while of starting it. I need to manually start it again when I want to use it.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is there a self-hosted Family Link server?English
4·2 months agoWhat is family link? Active directory control for Android?
Not Authentik, something home made. Wireguard is unfortunately open for the whole world but as far as I know there has not been any security whole in it. But Wireguard is at least a security product. It is not about hiding my public IP. It is about closing the attack surface. Bots cant connect to my home server at all. This means zero days vun cant be used. Yes, Oracle server can be compromises but it itself cant connect to my home server and it cannot authenticate any user as it does not have my phone to do that. It just generate an internal adress that is only accessible when connected with Wireguard. So only those I manually add have a chance and I will notice if the source IP is wrong or if it was not generated by that server as I use public key that is just base64 encoded url
Wireguard VPN. I actually have a public hosted Oracle server that when authentic opens port 443 for that source IP temporary so no VPN will be needed. Computer visit free pub Oracle VM. Android Phone scan QR, start Wireguard and auth that user. Computer can now reach my home server on port 443 and 22 for 24 hours as the source IP is allowed.
I do this instead of crowdsec etc. I expect zero days vulnerabilities that someone will utilize so dont trust nginx and ssh to be wide open.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•DigitalOcean contributes 3 million and joins the Omacom (Omarchy) FoundationEnglish
1·2 months agoI am just trying to understand where the problem is. To me it looks like a way to lure Windows users to Linux. Yes, we all have different opinions but that is exactly what all Linux distros are for. Since Omarchy is open source I don’t see a big problem. It is not backed by Google or someone else so there is no monopol here that cant be won.
I just see it as a experiment, showcase, of what can be done and what people actually want. That other distributions can copy and take the good parts from.

4·2 months agoI think new machines are bought for school start in august. They come with Windows preinstalled. However, it just take a little time until they start to game and realize they dont get those drops if they chose any other OS.
This is why we have laws and rules.

Yes, this is good news. People really need to understand that we have to stop using oil cars NOW. How high do we need to increase the price to get people to understand this?
