not the IDE, its the compiler. this is also not some AI shit, in many cases (not all) the compiler can actually figure out how to do this, because it’s not hard, it would just be a lot of boilerplate if written manually.

in my understanding OP was not comparing it to simple wireguard

where did you read it that rust obfuscates the code?

you want vmprotect and such for that

It’s up to users to know what they are installing.

Except when all you get is an UAC prompt when clicking the play button, without giving you any information, other than that it wants to execute an exe in a temp dir with a random name.

the kernel level part of that specific thing is preventing process startup after it was killed

antimalware is literally worthless as has been for at least a decade. not even once did I get a spyware (or other) alert for the software of any commercial data harvester company. they are literally bought out and even the blind can see this

to simple wireguard? there are wireguard based mesh network solutions out there

oh. is this optional? on a laptop it’s a good idea, but on my desktop I wouldn’t want it

when locking the screen, or when logging out?

if it’s the former, how will running programs not crash?

they couldn’t finish the message. maybe they were hit by the bus that was late

in my understanding that won’t handle roaming between APs as good as a mesh setup. OpenWRT has a special wifi setup for that

the program uploads the information to somewhere, right? just like the telemetry functions in windows. adding the domain they use to popular blocklists would help those who use pihole or something similar to that.

we seriously need to get the reporting domain added to popular blocklists

hostname? MAC address? serial numbers? does "partitionx data also include names and GUIDs?

why would they need these? what is wrong with them??

that sounds interesting, but in this idea would those people have to pay for the expenses of the eldely? in my understanding the problem is not that the elderly wouldn’t be able to take care for themselves generally, but that they wouldn’t be able to pay for things they need or want.

as I see both fewer and more is bad. more is bad because of overpopulation, but fewer is also bad because of how the pension system works at most places

They call it a polyfill because it polyfills your disk

nah, but storage is cheap bro, you really should just buy another hard drive! don’t even think about going below 4 TB, of course!

atomic has had a meaning for a very long time in IT, don’t pretend that it’s something made up bullshit. with this thinking we could just throw out the word mutable/immutable too, what is it my computer is radioactive and I’ll get cancer from it? of course not, because it has a different meaning with computers, and people in the know (not even just professionals because I’m not one) know it.

atomic means that if multiple things would change, they will either change at once, or if the task failed none of it will change.
sometimes these are called transactions, suse calls it transactional updates. but is that any better? now the complaint will be that suse must have transacted away all the money from your bank account!

and distros are obviously not immutable, that’s just plainly misleading. we update them, someone does that daily. updating requires it to be mutable, to be modifiable.

what’s the benefit of packaging drivers that way? surely not permission separation
