Pull requests have nothing to do with any of this. Also algorithms can’t be copyrighted nor patterned in the first place so it would not matter.
You could implant an algorithm in a proprietary code base and some gal could reverse engineer it and publish it as GPL or MIT or whatever and all would be a-ok.
Wait, so because a few execs violated the GPL and threw their employees under the bus, we should abandon copyleft entirely? That’s like ditching locks just because burglars exist. Companies that want to exploit software will do so, BSD or not. The GPL didn’t land those four guys in prison; their higher-ups did. Giving up and saying “ok big corp I’ll just do what you want“ just makes it even easier for corporations to profit at societies expense.
MIT and BSD software licenses might as well be renamed to “I love big daddy companies and trust them 100% uwu”
There is no reason not to choose GPL/AGPL/MPL 2.0/LGPL/SSPL if you are writing open source code.
MIT and BSD just let companies enrich themselves at societies expense.
Another one is that if you delete a file on an encrypted drive it can’t be undeleted later on. Lots of benefits.
I mean if you have an angle grinder and a space to safely use it sure. But it’s still harder than just dropping the HDD off at an e-waste bin.
This is why backups are important. But even if the drive is encrypted recovering data is exactly as easy as recovery from a non encrypted drive.
Like you lose the same sectors if those sectors are encrypted or not.
True. This does work. But it is less secure and much harder than just tossing an encrypted HDD into an e-waste bin. It probably is more fun though. 🤔
I would strongly encourage people to encrypt their on site data storage drives even if they never leave the house and theft isn’t a realistic thing that can happen.
The issue is hard drive malfunction. If a drive has sensitive data on it and malfunctions. It becomes very hard to destroy that data.
If that malfunctioning hard drive was encrypted you can simply toss it into an e-waste bin worry free. If that malfunctioning drive was not encrypted you need to break out some heavy tools tool ensure that data is destroyed.
Supper happy with lemmy.word
You can actually have a conversation there without the whole thing being taken over by people who write like they are edgy 14 year old American tankies.
English, German, a bit of Mandarin, and Toki Pona!
This reaks of chatgpt. All the way down to the milktoast ending.
If that’s how you feel about it, then it may be a cudgel against you. But I am certain you do see and have seen people who proudly self label as tankies.
Nothing wrong with that.
I’ll take that as a yes for you. If you are a Tankie you should stand up for your values and be proud!
The only reason why you would deny it or hide it is if you have an agenda.
Btrfs or XFS.
No idea why people are into EXT4. XFS is more performant by far.
As a workaround yes. Just do your NFS exports over WireGuard. WireGuard acts as the authentication and encryption.
SSHFS will be incredibly slow. I would avoid it personally.
NFS will be performant and is easy to set up. This being said by default NFS is without any security.
The problem is that Kerberos is a huge pain to set up. I would avoid this unless you really need Kerberos.
If you want security NFS + WireGuard will serve you well.
Also I would consider Samba/CIFS if it is for local convenient fine access. It’s not super secure but for me it’s a good trade off.
i am not commenting on the source. Just pointing out a strange pattern of behavior that I think should be noted. If look around on Lemmy you will see certain accounts that are weirdly into very specific sites.
If you look at the original posters account history you will see the same “very into a specific site” pattern.
People can look at your post history and judge for themselves.
In terms of algorithms, nothing. But you were the one who mentioned algorithms. I am speaking of code in general. I do want for persons to contribute back to the community if they use community sourced code. I don’t think we can trust corporations to be altruistic.
This all being said in your earlier message you were implying it’s all about ego. I was just saying it is not about ego.
For me it’s all about community resources and societal enrichment.
