It’s funny how you pretend this is a ‘moral’ issue but then just end up with a copyright law conclusion.

While AI generated code cannot be copyrighted then it cannot be licensed under a free software license.

This is a concern - though the legal question is still a bit open on this. The question has been around how much human involvement there has been. A purely “create me a photo of a cat” prompt generating a picture of a cat has very little human involvement (fully AI generated).

A “generate some code to do this, no make it do it this way, rename these variables, etc.” prompt “conversation” may be treated differently by the law. We don’t know yet.

The solution is to make sure those LLM tools help maintainers instead of just causing them pain. There’s no question on that side.

We’re not forcing anybody to use it, but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it.

And no, AI isn’t perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.

Linus is, as usual, a pragmatist. And he’s right. All the bitching and gnashing of teeth over AI is ridiculous. If it produces good code then you should accept that code.

People will bitch and complain about ‘slop’ but the kernel team has processes in place to manage and review code from thousands of sources. They know what they’re doing.

Nobody serious is going to say “just accept AI created code without review!” That’s tech-bro BS. Quality software engineers know to adopt tools cautiously and deliberately.

Your perfamatry is quite obliqueto.

Language is fluid.

Yeah, they never are. Scientific conclusions are generally a lot more nuanced and cautious than what this guy’s claiming. He only read headlines.

Kids have no idea what a “boomer” is.

the problem with systemd taking over anything also has to do with it offering options that actually lessens efforts

You systemd haters are practically feral. WTF does this have to do with systemd?

Round 1 goes to the people this is excellent.

Whatever the logs indicate is the issue? How can there be a fixed response to this?

You should definitely use your builder container to run your tests locally before pushing changes though. That’s one of the advantages of containers - a consistent environment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity

In security engineering, security through obscurity is the practice of concealing the details or mechanisms of a system to enhance its security. This approach relies on the principle of hiding something in plain sight, akin to a magician’s sleight of hand or the use of camouflage. It diverges from traditional security methods, such as physical locks, and is more about obscuring information or characteristics to deter potential threats. Examples of this practice include disguising sensitive information within commonplace items, like a piece of paper in a book, or altering digital footprints, such as spoofing a web browser’s version number. While not a standalone solution, security through obscurity can complement other security measures in certain scenarios.

You don’t know what you’re talking about - please stop. It’s embarrassing. It’s a long-standing industry term not some weird phrase I just made up. Nobody is saying “Linux is obscure”.

And aside from a like, a heart attack, I can’t really think of one

You thought of one though. Also stroke, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, etc. Lots of things at his age.

Careful what you wish for - younger conservatives have been crazier and have entered politics or grew up in an era where Trump was a politician. At least Graham and other remember a time when the government wasn’t a completely corrupted personal project of the president.

Things can always get worse.

Enjoy your “security”. 🙄

Sorry - which part of your comment added anything of value? “can help to minimize the attack surface”? 99% of the time a proxy just passes traffic through. Unless you’re talking about a WAF which is a) a different thing and b) NOT what any home gamers are talking about when they recommend nginx, traefik, etc. to newbs.

Just google the term next time rather than embarrassing yourself.

You can dislike systemd, its6okay. But there’s no need to be stupid about it.

Yes - things built to work with systemd… require systemd to work.

But you don’t need to use all the systemd services. You can use other tools. Because systemd is not a monolith.

See what I mean?

As if a proxy blindly passing traffic directly to a backend server “reduces attack surface” in any meaningful way. 🙄

Edit: Guy edits his post with a bunch of stuff and assumes I’ve read it later. I can’t eyeroll enough…

1. You’ve increased your “attack surface” by adding a second application to the stack. Proxies aren’t magic, they are also targets.
2. Sure - you can do those things on a proxy. How many people here are? And why are those things never suggested when people here say “use a reverse proxy”? Because they think the proxy is the security.

Are we doing a “blame the right for everything and not attempt to be honest” thing because that is their go-to?

You’re on lemmy. Of course they are.

Systemd is feature-rich but controversial. Its monolithic design bundles service management, logging, networking, device management, and more into a single codebase exceeding 1.4 million lines of code.

That is a gross misrepresentation of systemd…

It’s like saying GNU coreutils is monolithic because all of the individual tools combined are bundled together.

Systemd is comprised of many individual applications.

Newbies will ask stupid questions, that’s not their fault.

The people answering should know better than to answer with their favorite distros.

The correct answer is “pick a popular one and don’t worry about the differences, you’re too inexperienced to notice them anyway.”
