Tbh I am using /e/OS as my daily driver and I fully agree, it just works. Bonus points for the Nextcloud integration which I can tie to my self-hosted Nextcloud instance.

I do not understand all the negativity, I think it is a solid alternative in the ecosystem, and choice is a good thing.

Anyone can propose a devroom for FOSDEM, I hope you'll do it next year :)

> What is the FOSDEM community's answer to the real concerns that these changes pose ? Let's hand solder raspberry pis ! let's self host LLMS from 2 years ago on FreeBSD ! Look, i can run wasn linux on this risc-v cpu !

Maybe, just maybe, they're having fun? FOSS is not only about corporate open-source, but also genuine curiosity. Both can have their place.

> no wonder that nobody younger than 40 was attending the conference. The next generation is doing something else and rightly so.

I saw a lot of students at FOSDEM, attending, presenting and helping the at organization.

My experience was good: on my way in Paris -> Brussels arrived 10min early, and on my way out Brussels -> Paris I had ~15min delay (apparently because Police had to board the train before Brussels).

I'm self-hosting for 17 years and counting.

In my opinion, the pragmatic solution I use is:

1) use a specialized distribution (I use yunohost but there are others). This makes configuring SPF, DKIM, TLS and more a breeze

2) use a reputable relay to send your emails (I use OVH but again there are plenty of other choices)

Of course it means you are not "pure" because emails you send will go trough a 3rd party (the relay) but it solved the delivery issue entirely for me, so that I can continue to benefit from all the other benefits of self-hosting.

Yep, AI scrapers have been breaking our open-source project gerrit instance hosted at Linux Network Foundation.

Why this is the case while web-crawlers have been scrapping the web for the last 30 years is a mystery to me. This should be a solved problem. But it looks like this field is full of wrongly behaving companies with complete disregards toward common goods.

Here is an example of preparing a debian ARM image on x86 with debootstrap, qemu and chroot:

  ~# sudo apt install qemu-user-static debootstrap
  ~# mkdir /tmp/arm
  ~# debootstrap --foreign --arch=armhf buster /tmp/arm http://deb.debian.org/debian
  ~# cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /tmp/arm/usr/bin/
  ~# chroot /tmp/arm   # from that point, you're running ARM!
  ~# /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage

I still use my Thinkpad x61 as my daily driver (typing on it right now) and I don't feel most of the "severe limitations" you are listing. I think some are wrong (eg. I use Dual-band AC wifi and BT4.0 wifi card in mine, and have a 2.5" SATA-II (3Gbps) SSD), and others are not limitation for my use. I won't recommend it to everyone, mind you, but for my use it is perfect.

and for those wondering, looks like it is called "dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled"

Atari ST serie was very popular in Europe, more popular than Mac or Amiga at the time I believe.

Very good idea!

And I love bloom filter too (and their more modern successor cuckoo filter) but I'd challenge the usecase you mention though: 1 million IPv4 is 4MB, and 16MB for IPv6. That's tiny, you're better off using some kind of hashtable, unless you have a fast and small memory, and then a slow and big memory (say embedded processor with small CPU cache and some DRAM).

Bloom filters are useful when your working set cannot fit in your fast memory, to allow you to go to the slow memory only for a small number of requests.

I was going to mention it too! The really cool thing about reservoir sampling is that it can be done "online" (ie process input incrementally) which makes it super useful when you want to compute statistical properties of something in the field without blowing up your cpu and memory.

For example, let's say I have a server serving queries. I want to measure min/max/avg/stdev/99p you name it. You can do it cheaply with reservoir sampling, without having to save all data points.
