RepRap is the OG of hobbyist FDM printing.

Both comments are correct.

Which one?

The DHT exists and is already a fully distributed system.

Even without the DHT, there is no centralization in Bittorrent that would lend itself to federation. Anyone with a complete copy of the data can already start their own tracker.

Do you perhaps mean a federated content index that links to torrents or magnet URIs?

Try it again without Ventoy

What desktop environment are you using?

It was a while ago that I compared them so this may have changed, but one of the main differences that I saw was that borg had to backup over ssh, while restic had a storage backend for many different storage methods and APIs.

I’ve been using it for just over 6 months and it’s perfectly fine as a desktop distribution. I’m enjoying that it’s based on Debian Sid and I get a more up to date GNOME release than I would have with Ubuntu or Debian. The update process is a bit slow but you can just leave it downloading in the background and then reboot when it’s ready. If you know that you want an immutable desktop distro based on Debian then I would definitely recommend it.

If you’re using it for development then it’s a bit more complicated as you’ll need to get used to working in a distrobox container and understanding when it can and can’t access the host system or communicate with programs running on the host system.

If you have the time and basic understanding to be able to switch your dev workflow to run inside a container, or if your dev environment never needs to interact with the base system that you’re running it on, then it’s perfectly usable for dev work - just a bit of a learning curve.

The touch screen in my 2013 laptop has been working fine since… 2013, running only Debian and Debian-derivatives.

Only the good bad-guys will obey the terms of the license.

Maybe im wrong

Correct.

Some similarities but the main difference in my eyes is that Linus doesn’t have a permanent victim complex.

Unsurprising. You don’t have to follow Hector Martin on social media for very long to learn that he’s a petulant, indignant, self-righteous drama queen.

For Xitter, BlueSky is drop-in replacement

You’re posting this on the Fediverse and still recommending centralized corporate social media? We can do better than make the same mistakes again and again.

Try Mastodon as a Xitter replacement.

Friendica as a Facebook replacement.

And if you’re able and have transport, support your local businesses by buying products locally (especially independently owned stores), instead of ordering from Amazon.

If you have a Facebook, X or Amazon account, I hope you can find it in your heart to switch to one of their competitors. It’s worth a try.

I’ve been typing with 10 fingers for 3 years

That’s 30 finger-years!

For the most part, large open source projects are worked on by adults not children.

This is irrelevant to Linux kernel development.

The article seems like a rebuttal to a strawman argument to me.

You’d have to be pretty oblivious (or a non-software engineer) to express the premise of this article as an opinion.

The only interesting part to me was asking specifically what types of functionality are being delegated to libraries instead of (re-)implemented in the program itself. The author should ask this same question of some Rust and Javascript programs of similar size, so we can see if left-pad in Javascript is just a meme or if programmers armed with convenient package managers are delegating trivial one-liners to external libraries.
