The only possible glowop related to lemmygrad that we know of is Wenger/Wisconcom; Some guy from the US who claims to be Hoxhaist/Stalinist and calls this site and prolewiki “revisionist” because people here support the PRC. He lurks here and other places and has been actively attempting to infiltrate/wreck lemmygrad and prolewiki for over 2 years now. So far all of his attempts have hilariously failed, but for some reason he just never gives up. He might even be reading this very thread from a different account. I recommend “The Wiscon Files” for a deep dive.

Unless suddenly strange things start happening here on lemmygrad I think there is no need for this much paranoia (unless you’re somehow a big threat to the imperial state).

Good point. All these streaming sites are inefficient by design. Even without the DRM the Server will have to encode the video and audio (or possibly even transcode them if the client only supports certain formats) before sending them to the client. And this happens on the fly every time anyone watches anything. If those streaming sites were all just a fancy looking file server that make you download the source video files directly (kind of like GOG does with video games) then that would greatly reduce energy consumption long-term.

QEMU is vastly superior. Supports a great amount of different architectures and KVM acceleration is painless. Plus it’s not from Oracle.

It doesn’t help that they keep deprecating and changing standard stuff every other version. It’s like they can’t make up their mind and everything may be subject to change. Updating to the most recent release can suddenly cause 10s or 100s of compiler warnings/errors and things may no longer behave the same. Then you look up the new documentation and realize that you have to refactor a large part of the codebase because the “new way” is for whatever reason vastly different.

Here is the linked thread for people who don’t want to go to twitter:

Booker Ngesa Omole ☭:

There is no such a thing like sex work, period! Let’s address the misguided communists who claim “sex work” is legitimate labor. This notion betrays the fundamental principles of Marxism and aligns with capitalist exploitation rather than challenging it.

In a patriarchal society, prostitution isn’t just about humiliation—it’s the highest form of exploitation, primarily affecting poor and working-class women.These women aren’t “workers” in the traditional sense; they’re victims of a system that commodifies their bodies.

The relationship between those who purchase sex and those who sell it is not one of equality. It’s a relationship of oppression, where the powerful exert control over the powerless, perpetuating violence and exploitation.

To suggest that prostitution is anything other than the grossest form of exploitation ignores the brutal realities these women face: physical and psychological violence, poverty, and a society that views them as disposable.

Human beings should never be used as mere instruments for others’ ends. The commodification of women’s bodies contradicts the Marxist principle that people should not be treated as commodities.

True communists must reject the capitalist narrative that seeks to legitimize prostitution under the guise of “sex work.” Our fight is for a society where exploitation is abolished and where women are free from the shackles of patriarchy.

Anything less is a betrayal of our revolutionary ideals and a capitulation to the forces of reaction. We must stand firm against this dangerous rhetoric and fight for the liberation of all women from exploitation.

imo. people (especially comrades) should really consider using the fediverse.

lol why care about these random online personalities? The only times I get to know of their existence is when people post clips of them where they have a highly controversial take and it’s always without fail some generic boring af react-commentary-“just chatting”-variety streamer/content creator. I wouldn’t put it past them if they do these controversial takes intentionally from time to time in an attempt to increase engagement.

On distros w/o systemd there is always syslog-ng. s6 also has its own log system.

It’s not necessary, but a good thing to have if something goes wrong and you want to debug/monitor something. It’s really up to you and your needs.

Whenever I used macOS I felt very restricted, like as if I had to do real work but all I had in front of me was a toolbox full of plastic toys meant for children. It was NOTHING like GNOME, despite what many like to parrot. Compared to macOS, GNOME on Linux or BSD is SO much better in terms of workflow.

“Remove them from power” by vooting you mean right? Right?

“unnamed source”

That’s just juche necromancy

These machines are probably on their national intranet at most with no connection to the Internet. Still it’s weird. Whenever I watch KCTV and they show computer labs all of the PCs run some version of Win 7. Same with images they show on Voice of Korea. I have yet to see RedStarOS or GNU/Linux in general on DPRK media.

The only thing that’s disturbing here is how people actually seem to believe obvious bullshit like this. I wouldn’t be surprised if these people also think that there is nuance to flat earth.

What compression algo are they using? Seems highly efficient.

I think Micro-Kernels are awesome because the actual Kernel is completely stable and only serves as a tiny (or Micro if you will) layer between the hardware and all the software. All Kernel modules run in userspace as daemons. So if something crashes because of a bug, say the Bluetooth driver, you can just restart that process and continue instead of having a hosed system that needs a hard reset. This is awesome for development because you can just run that buggy driver in a debugger and poke around without having to fear a Kernel panic. Also if you update your System and drivers get updated you don’t need to reboot, you just restart those driver daemons.

MINIX was really cool. It had a mechanism that could detect dead driver daemons and restart them automatically. They almost achieved full NetBSD compliance and all it really lacked was 64-bit and better hardware support. It technically still lives on because Intel forked it and baked it into every Intel chip. Except they changed the name to “Intel Management Engine”.

Hurd is GNU’s Micro-Kernel and to my knowledge it’s still being developed but at a sluggish pace. Last I checked they’re still working on full 64-bit support. It is apparently usable enough for Debian and Guix to have a Hurd port though.

Don’t get me wrong though, I still really like classic Monolithic UNIX-like kernels (especially when they’re simple and easy to compile like NetBSD) but I like Micro-Kernels overall a bit more because kernel modules as daemons is a very interesting concept to me that imo. should be explored more.

I might ditch Linux altogether if FreeBSD had better hardware support. There’s only so much I can write and maintain, myself.

I’ve been feeling that way since they decided to introduce that rust crap in the Kernel. I have a second drive in my main PC with FreeBSD 14.1 and the only things that prevent me from using it as a daily driver are the buggy amdgpu drivers and the terrible bluetooth stack. My dream would be a Micro-Kernel system though. Too bad MINIX was dropped. Maybe Hurd will become usable in 20 years from now lol.

Using Linux without systemd really goes to show you how simple Linux actually is and how much crap systemd tries to do. All my machines boot to nothing but a tty with maybe a few other daemons and my entire user startup is contained in a shell script. I really appreciate it that way because I always know exactly what software I’m running.
