IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR3], Steam for ChromeOS is in the Google Graveyard.Mar 29 22:04
IsambardPrinceTo be fair I was running into some issues with some games that did not happen under Steam for Linux or even under Wine.Mar 29 22:05
IsambardPrinceChromeOS doesn't use X11 or Wayland. It can support them via Sommelier but it's not the native windowing system.Mar 29 22:05
IsambardPrinceI think AluminumOS probably has merit.Mar 29 22:06
IsambardPrinceI think it makes sense to use the Android system and put Crostini on that as "baguette"Mar 29 22:06
IsambardPrinceApparently baguette will have less restrictions on the VM than LXC imposes.Mar 29 22:06
IsambardPrinceSo you'll get better graphics performance/less bugs, USB controller pass through. Lots of stuff Crostini can't do right now, or not well.Mar 29 22:07
IsambardPrinceGraphics acceleration on Crostini is temperamental. If the program has an OpenGL ES option you should use that.Mar 29 22:07
IsambardPrinceVulkan is better, unfortunately the version of Mesa included in Debian Bullseye which is the latest that Google supports, is old, and Vulkan is just not usable.Mar 29 22:08
IsambardPrinceWhenever Debian Trixie works, Vulkan should be possible.Mar 29 22:08
IsambardPrinceThey are still fixing bugs regarding Debian Trixie and the VM tools for Crostini.Mar 29 22:09
IsambardPrinceThey nailed a few more in ChromeOS 146, but there's at least one more fix landing in 147 that I want before I'm going to attempt an upgrade.Mar 29 22:09
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR3], I pulled in Kubuntu 26.04 LTS beta on the 2016 Lenovo.Mar 29 22:10
IsambardPrinceIt works well.Mar 29 22:10
IsambardPrinceVisible differences with sudo in rust are not apparent to me at this time except that it has asterisks as you type your password.Mar 29 22:10
IsambardPrinceApparently the original sudo now has over 170,000 lines of code and sudo in rust has about 15,000.Mar 29 22:11
IsambardPrinceI always like to see code reduction by amounts like this.Mar 29 22:11
IsambardPrinceAnd to be fair, I really hate "normal" sudo. The way Fedora has it set up, a bug keeps returning where the LDAP support causes sudo to stall out sometimes even if you don't use LDAP.Mar 29 22:12
MinceRif you want a smaller, more secure sudo, there's doasMar 29 22:12
MinceRwritten by people who know a thing or two about securityMar 29 22:12
IsambardPrinceAnd one of the features missing from sudo in rust is sendmail support. sendmail isn't installed by default in Fedora or Ubuntu since approximately 6-7 years ago.Mar 29 22:12
MinceRnone of this microslop "just pile some more buzzwords on top of a gigantic mountain of bloat and try really hard to believe that makes it all secure"Mar 29 22:13
IsambardPrinceI'm not as concerned about sudo rust as I am about uutils, which is "coreutils in rust".Mar 29 22:13
IsambardPrinceGoing from 0.6 to 0.7, they actually fail MORE tests than 0.6 did.Mar 29 22:13
IsambardPrinceThey say that the progress has been in "speed", but they are still slower than GNU coreutils.Mar 29 22:14
IsambardPrinceUbuntu 26.04 LTS makes backing out uutils easy. If you remove it, then it should immediately install GNU Coreutils, and if you remove that, then it will put in uutils again, so you're not going to break your system.Mar 29 22:14
IsambardPrinceI suggest that people who are concerned about compatibility back out uutils for the duration of 26.04 LTS and either let uutils keep cooking for a while, or get abandoned and watch Canonical revert it.Mar 29 22:15
IsambardPrinceOne of the two is going to happen.Mar 29 22:15
IsambardPrinceThere's no reason to put up with something that's slower than GNU Coreutils and compatible "96.4% of the time" so it's going to break scripts.Mar 29 22:16
IsambardPrinceBy the time you have to revisit this in a few years either uutils will have full compatibility or Canonical will revert it.Mar 29 22:16
IsambardPrinceLike Unity or god help us, libav.Mar 29 22:17
IsambardPrinceThey decide that something that fails 3.6% of the test suite is good enough for Long Term Stable?Mar 29 22:17
IsambardPrinceWhat brand of crack are they smoking?Mar 29 22:17
IsambardPrinceThey should have landed something like this in 26.10 at the earliest.Mar 29 22:18
IsambardPrinceThat way it doesn't affect compatibility for this cycle and they have another 24 months to let upstream improve or die.Mar 29 22:18
MinceR29 231409 < IsambardPrince> They say that the progress has been in "speed", but they are still slower than GNU coreutils.Mar 29 22:18
MinceRthat's just the way it's doneMar 29 22:18
MinceRmicroslop wanked about "performance" while all of their products performed like shitMar 29 22:19
IsambardPrinceI'm not aware of any context on a modern PC where GNU Coreutils has been a bottleneck.Mar 29 22:19
MinceRmicroslop and their "modern" worshipers wank about "security" while all of their products are full of holesMar 29 22:19
IsambardPrinceAlso, which time has it been a security issue, a bad one, or are they just saying herp derp rust security?Mar 29 22:19
MinceRwell, if there's one, they'll remove it, as they consider scripting to be heresyMar 29 22:19
MinceRbecause the uninitiated might see what happens, and might even change itMar 29 22:19
MinceRcan't have thatMar 29 22:19
MinceRcancerd proponents wank about boot time while cancerd takes forever to boot and can't shutdownMar 29 22:20
IsambardPrinceAny software of reasonable complexity will have security problems.Mar 29 22:20
IsambardPrincesystemd has swollen to over 18 million source lines of code.Mar 29 22:20
IsambardPrinceAnd it's written in the C language that they say is the problem.Mar 29 22:20
IsambardPrinceShow me which "developer" is going to rewrite 18 million lines of systemd in Rust?Mar 29 22:20
MinceRrunit actually boots quickly, but of course the people in charge of deadian had to try very hard to pretend runit doesn't even existMar 29 22:21
IsambardPrinceIt's more likely that they just start writing "more of it" in Rust.Mar 29 22:21
IsambardPrinceAnd then you have one of those sprawling "you also need two compilers and runtimes for the goddamned init system now" situations.Mar 29 22:21
IsambardPrinceLike they did with web browsing.Mar 29 22:21
IsambardPrinceTo say Rust isn't very good would be an understatement.Mar 29 22:22
IsambardPrinceIn fact, if it does reduce security issues in the programs it's because it's largely moved them into the runtime.Mar 29 22:22
IsambardPrinceThat's like these people who are in credit card debt but have money in savings and they say they're using a "cash flow tool".Mar 29 22:23
IsambardPrinceAnd I'm like "No, your savings is earning 3.5% and your credit card is charging 26%."Mar 29 22:23

It's just that some of them are not currently 3-4 years old yet and have not had time for it to come into contact with oxygen and start turning into mud.Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrince Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrinceAfter drilling the clogs, acid flush, and back flushing everything and replacing the water pump and thermostat, I recommend Prestone universal coolant after a few more passes with water to make sure the crap is all out.Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrince Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrinceI've ultimately changed out orange for green or yellow after thorough flushing (sometimes 6-7 times) to get all the DexCool out, and I've known DexCool to be a problem on several GM cars I've owned, all the way back to a 1995 Chevy Corsica which was the first car that got it as a factory fill.Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrince Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrinceAlmost all the "old" GM cars you see that survived had someone that knew better than to replace the garbage coolant that caused the problems last time with fresh garbage coolant.Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrince Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrinceThe only compliment I'll give to GM about DexCool is that since it clogs everything, sometimes it also clogs a head gasket leak then you don't have the head gasket leaking.Mar 29 22:32
MinceR:>Mar 29 22:32
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Added: But by the time it's done that, expect that it's also clogged some of the coolant passages on the engine leading to localized overheating and potentially warping the metal. If you want, you can try taking the intakes off, drilling the clogs out, and putting new intake gaskets in.Mar 29 22:36

IsambardPrinceThe 3800 V6 is called the "cockroach engine" by some mechanics because it seems to survive everything. Thank God. Now you know why GM had to kill it.Mar 29 22:36

IsambardPrinceMinceR, Added: It was due to be phased out in 1999, but GM actually listened to their customers back then and kept it around until 2009. But by then you could already find its inferior replacements, the 3.6 and 3.9, even in the same model years that had the 3800 as an option.Mar 29 22:40
IsambardPrince Mar 29 22:40
IsambardPrinceDespite being completely re-engineered, the 3.6 and 3.9 are much worse because they're designed to warp if they ever overheat, and they have moved many parts that could be easily replaced into the middle of the engine turning a simple 10 minute job into a $1700 mechanics bill for something like ignition coils.Mar 29 22:40

IsambardPrinceThey're also hundreds of pounds lighter, but do not get better fuel economy according to the EPA window sticker.Mar 29 22:40

IsambardPrinceMinceR, Stellantis has started fining auto workers who park at work and are not driving a Stellantis vehicle.Mar 29 22:48
MinceRlolMar 29 22:48
IsambardPrinceI joked that if they drove a Stellantis vehicle they'd be missing a lot of work unless they took Uber.Mar 29 22:48

IsambardPrinceThe author of WavPack keeps a version that works on Windows 2000 and XP.Mar 29 22:58
IsambardPrinceIt's the same thing as the one that doesn't, except the MSVC version that is built for newer versions of Windows is several times bigger and also slower.Mar 29 22:59
IsambardPrinceSo even if you have a recent version of Windows, you should use the mingw compile of WavPack.Mar 29 22:59
IsambardPrinceRecent versions of Microsoft's compiler bloat the code and insert hooks for Windows Telemetry.Mar 29 23:00
IsambardPrinceThe Windows Telemetry garbage all by itself can add quite a bit if your program was relatively small.Mar 29 23:00
