    I’m not sure why people keep pushing that myth on C++. It’s been a decade we have smart pointers. There’s no memory management to be done ever.

    Using the old ‘new’ is like typing ‘unsafe’ in rust. Even arrays/vectors have safe accessor.

    Am I missing something?












  • They list gitea but not forgejo. That’s not really advocating for FOSS. “all” (the ones I looked at) are startup products coined as open-source.

    I really don’t like this website and this list, to me this is replacing bad solutions by other bad solutions (I am sorry for the people that like firebase and co).

    I am sorry for the negativity but I really don’t enjoy this link and all it represents and all the people enjoying such content. I guess I/we should explicitly separate FOSS from open-source.

    I may be out of touch and should be educated on why/how this is good.




  • Thanks for the link, I knew hyperbola for many years from afar. Reading this gave me a lot more insight on the project. I find it very cool and pushing toward better software like GNU, openBSD and suckless.

    Nothing is perfect but for server this distribution could be a nice option . I’d love to see an arm version of it. I guess RISC-V would also be a perfect match for them

    Spending 3000$ to assemble a PC and installing TrueNas as is not new nor informative to me. I’m not a huge fan of rich people spending thousand of dollars building a power hog a call it a nice NAS.

    The post would be more interesting if, at least, it would show the assembling (not stolen photos) and the software settings. For a really interesting post I would like to see a before/after benchmark of performance and power consumption.

    I don’t think any server, especially self hosting should be CISC based like x86 architecture but RISC like arm or RiSC-V. The power usage is a order of magnitude less. Also really building yourself would probably cost hundreds and not thousands of dollars.
