What would you even run on that beast?

I got a frankensteined mini PC with an old 2-core CPU, 8GB DDR3 RAM and 24TB HDD +500GB SSD(cache), running my entire homelab (HAss, Jellyfin+arr suite, Adguard-home, ..), works really well. Recently put an old 1060GTX GPU in there, when my flatmate upgraded her PC. I really don't see why I would need more (unless I planned to run LLMs in any reasonable fashion)

That's why you need to organize now, build dual power and start chipping away at the power of capital and the state. A revolution will not materialize out of the blue, and if it did we'd be royally fucked without some semblance of a plan where we're going with it. That's how you get demagogues and tyrants hijacking revolutionary momentum for their own gain.

The reaction will likely force a revolution (via escalating repression, etc) if they see their monopoly to power threatened, but until then, continue to strengthen your communities, build workers' councils and protect the vulnerable in society. We can start building utopia I'm the shell of the old world, and be ready when the reaction strikes.

It's less so the wider tech-industry, as in corporate big tech. But the general open-source community and hacker spaces in particular have a lot of trans and other queer people in it

This. Treat it like a fancy monitor, and run whatever you need on an external device. You can use an old laptop or a newer raspberry pi

Oh wow. That is... Bad. And the issue has gone unaddressed for 4 years now?

They disappeared from the face of the earth around the 1930s/40s

Eine naheliegende These. Und wir werden täglich mehr

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Freut mich, dass du das für dich herausgefunden hast :3

Factorio puts game saves in ~/.factorio for some reason...

It's fair to want to learn (and it's certainly a good skill to have), but the question is what you'd rather see in a large, production environment. Guard rails are usually there for a reason. As for the control: you actually can program memory-unsafe (and in kernel development you often have to!) in Rust. The difference is that in Rust it's explicitly marked by an unsafe block:

unsafe {
  ...
}

That way you get the same, fine-grained control over low-level processes, but someone else reading your code can at a glace spot where potential memory bugs may be.

In the end, languages are a tool. Especially for personal projects, everyone should just go with what's fun to them. I personally think it makes sense, logistically, to slowly transition legacy C-based projects to Rust, because it makes onboarding new developers easier, while keeping the same memory safety that requires years of experience otherwise, basically for free. But there's really no rush to rewrite anything that's working well in Rust

it's pretty bad. steam for example has both
~/.steam and
~/.local/share/Steam
for some reason. I'm just happy I moved to an impermanent setup for my PC, so I don't need to worry something I temporarily install is going to clutter my home directory with garbage
