Judging just by the logo, it's made by cuckchanners and will be promoted there.

Here are some of my ramblings on a somewhat different concept:
>to post, you need to solve a Proof of Work(PoW) problem
>the result you get is some string satisfying some requirement, which can be checked easily
>that string is used as your used ID for your post(s)
>want to change ID? You gotta spend some minutes mining a new PoW
>now all your posts can be banned/ignored by ID!

Troubles, to list just a few:
>any posted ID can be used by any malicious user to post CP and whatnot
>in fact, every posted ID at once because why not?
<hard to counter, even through such a change would probably be obvious to human eyes
<how about this: PoW is in fact an open/private key pair, and if there is a post with your open key in the thread already, you gotta also add some proof you have the secret key too
<that'd block identity theft at least
<(while we're at it, do note how i2p already uses key pairs to send each other data so that it cannot be decrypted by anyone but the holder of the secret key)

what about a realtime p2p chat that you seed like a torrent

>Packaging should be as easy as clicking a fucking button, yet it isn't.
Not a packager myself, but in my experience "./configure && make && make install"-ing tarballs the most annoying pitfall by far compared to using a (whether binary or source based) package manager is the inability to automagically retrieve (or even enumerate a comprehensive list of!) deps. As I mentioned upthread, I'm aware of at least one piece of software that attempted to solve this problem:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoApt
Of course, it died almost a decade ago.
>I don't mind flatpak's existence, but I do believe it's a broken remedy for a broken system, and it makes software devs even more greedy about their compliance.
I do. Ditto anything using the same placebo containerization (e.g.: AppImage, Snap, Steam) on the basis that they are a tumerous burden on billions of end-users as well as an inherent attack against the control of the OS over their installed software and its interoperability. HOWEVER, your complaints about your woes arising almost entirely from the sloppiness of the least competent devs makes me think something almost exactly inverted from Flatpak, solely intended for devs, would be useful:
>most of the time is spent fixing broken build systems and software
>is downloading shit from the internet resulting in inconsistent builds
>is using some language/framework that breaks any of the former (e.g. the cancer that are rust and go requiring you to use their package managers).
>give the dev a sandbox to fuck up anything in, and don't let them touch the system
>Add some docker magic and you would even get the binaries and publish the repos
And what >>4796 said:
>You could do all your compilation in a barebones CentOS/Rocky/Alma VM (or a chroot but I haven't tested that)
As a last resort to get sloppy open source devs in line, what if in addition to tarballs, it became a common requirement to offer some sort of standardized diff'd VM image capable of building hash verified binaries without Internet access, reissued for each release? All tools, all deps, all caches, all configs, bundled together and ready to run. It would be useful in a variety of contexts, such as forcing devs to make sure they could get their software to build in something other than their own environment, allowing other devs to figure out how to reproduce bad devs' environments, and as a last resort for quickly getting a nightly buildbot on its feet.

But why is pacman liked so much?  I think it's CLI doesn't make much sense and removing orphaned packages is difficult. There is no equivalent of emerge --depclean or apt autoremove. You have to use pacman -Qdtq | pacman -Rs - but it will also remove AUR packages. If you want to remove packages that are no longer in the repos, as a workaround you can use rua upgrade to upgrade AUR packages and then manually pacman -Rs the packages that aren't found in AUR or official repos (rua will report these packages). Even Void's xbps has xbps-remove -RoO. I think there used to be issues on the pacman function that saves new config files? It's also somewhat annoying that upgrades sometimes need "manual intervention" but the package manager or PKGBUILD script doesn't print anything. I will update my RSS feeds before upgrading because of this. On Gentoo, you will get a new post in eselect news list (and you will get notified).

re. pacman's CLI:
xbps is split to multiple binaries which makes it more intuitive (and it follow Eunics philosophy more closely), apt has subcommands and emerge has --long options that make sense (in addition to short options). Why you need to run pacman -Sy instead of just pacman -S? Why -y = --refresh? It makes no sense to me. Why pacman -S foobar will install packages? The (only?) saving grace that pacman has is that PKGBUILD scripts are easy to write and read (and that it's not apt/yum/dnf). But the same applies to: *BSD ports, APKBUILD (alpine linux), Slackbuilds (although package management is a bit painful on Slackware), whatever GoboLinux packages are called and Gentoo's ebuilds (which are slightly more complex but, on the other hand, also more powerful). GNU Guix packages are also pretty easy to read/write, provided you know R5RS and Guile (the fact that they didn't invent a new language is a big pro for me when comparing Guix to NixOS).

I think I might switch to Void Linux and just package the few programs that aren't in Void repos, yet.

Isn't this the future you chose Anon? They tell me you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to pack open-sauce efforts with LGBTFAG+, stronk, independynts, and niggers, then you can't really expect a healthy ecosystem to follow-on from that right?

The Western civilization is dead now b/c Jew's intentional efforts at such. The groups above are their golems for such evil handiwork. Pajeets are bad, but these nuSoycaf groups are much worse. You can cherry-pick exceptional cases pro & con, but if the general drive is to literally pack the software industries with morons, what other outcome is possible? Rely on "AI" to fix everything for us now that we royally-fucked it? Lol, what could possibly go wrong?

Supposedly, there was some sort of controversy related to MPV and this image? Can anyone enlighten me on that?

>>8358
QA is often slotted as an entry level position to sort out people who are competent enough to write things at whatever level.  I personally find most QA people to be sloppy and incapable of thinking about how to think up clever ways to trip things up, or, often even to merely be thorough enough to go through step by step what an end user is going to have to do, document what that might be, and then aactually establish a meaningful end-to-end style test.

But if a QA guy can be decently rigorous and straddle some kind of ballance between knowing roughly how things are supposed  to work inside and roughly what the typical use cases would be, then it's still a valuable position.  I alpha test my own stuff always, and often recruit somebody else to co-alpha it for me becuse usually I'm doing stuff for some other person's or groups' needs, but not having beta testers is a good way to go ahead and face plant.

>>8359
>most people dont write good code
Correct.
>good code is wizard code
No.
Writing software is a matter of design for maintainability. Every part of the software should be ideally self-documenting, modular and kept simple. Wizard code doesn't mean it is good. It means it is hard to understand and change, because requirements always change.
The way how people write bad code is by not making any design. It is the difference between kids lumping sand together to build a somewhat castle looking hill and a well designed building. Bad code are unplanned, difficult to be understood and also perform poorly. Good performance can get you sales and usage, but it is far from being good code. Good code is simple because of well designed abstractions and complete separation between modules.

yeah talk about peabrain, you clearly never wrote shit in c loser, string.h is not a string implementation you retarded clown theres no string type definition, in c a string just means char* you loser, ie character arrays ieie.byte arrays hence the mem functions being in string.h and the rest having the n bytes parameter, strings as a data structure dont exist and have to be implemented yourself idiot string.h is useless other than for building the actual string implementation which requires way more than that puny byte library, unlike std::string which is a full string implementation with a string type, template and methods for text manipulation already defined

Turns out you can leave out the "example.i2p" block from your webserver config since those kinds of addresses are simply base64 aliases to the B32 address.

The OpenBSD config would look like this now:
language: json
server "zmjdpytveh2mp6krdnlniupxnv2cgacmffhznbxvgypl63tjchfa.b32.i2p" {
        listen on * port 8080

The Dactyl is as nice keyboard, it just happens to be rather hard to get. Best way to get it, is have (or find someone with) a 3D printer, and handwire it. I've been playing with stenograph keyboards, specifically the Steko (pic related).  it's trickier than typing right now, but I hope I can get the hang of it.

I got it, because I figured 1. why bother relearning my muscle memory on a keyboard if it's so standardized, and 2. Why go for all that effort on barely a 120WPM increase when I can go intial D speed at the 200s? I had to get a metal sharpie for the keys though, Fuck me, I hate chording on blank keys when I'm learning new input styles.

>to everyone who complained like a broken record.
People do tend to complain like broken records, particularly when it's not their own work that is in question. However, having undefined behavior frees implementors to create innovative, possibly game-changing solutions. Besides, C would never have obtained it's global stature as a systems tool w/o these undefineds. Efficiency on the metal is key, after all Anon.

You say it's not about sheer amount of grunt work but that's really what your definition is.

>>3266 (OP) 
>Most complicated piece of software
Depends on the category of complication.

Complication by sheer size? Operating systems, modern windows to be specific, due to the amount of backwards compatibility spearheaded by absolutely insane management. 

Complication of the GUI? Autodesk Maya. Jesus. fuck. I have never seen a software with such a complete shitshow of a GUI, and I've been around the block in terms of 3D modelling software.

Complication by overabundance of functions? I think VisualStudio would fit that bill. I was thinking GNU Emacs, but VS is a mess on a calibre of it's own.
