MySQL refugees = those who ran to MariaDB when MySQL was bought by 'Orrible and now need another new home. Accidentally, PostgreSQL has grown support for some of MySQL on recent versions.
I hope this won’t have any negative effects on PostgreSQL which will hopefully not have to cater the MySQL refugees now.
Which is not the case on Plan 9.
NetSurf is closer to a browser.
Sure does!
Awesome (although I never owned an Amiga myself)! Thanks for your work.
I know that this might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t really care about whether the software I use every day is open source or not, given that I rarely need to look into the source code anyway. (Do you?) Is the webRequest API about to be phased out?
Why would your trust in Mozilla have anything to do with using this browser?
Browsers based on Firefox are at the mercy of Mozilla. If Mozilla once again delivers a new function that is directed against privacy, those who develop Firefox-based browsers must either deactivate this function or also deliver it. And this is not always clearly documented. And Mozilla has simply acted against my interests too often - I no longer even trust LibreWolf.
(Leaving this aside, I also fail to see any advantage of Zen over Vivaldi.)
If you want a keyboard centered workflow it’s hard to beat.
based on Firefox
Ew. No, thank you. Seriously, Mozilla has completely destroyed all trust in Firefox.
and open source
So is Vivaldi.
The short answer: NetSurf, because it is the only contemporary web browser that also works under Plan 9, is extremely resource-efficient and is not based on one of the big (= commercial) browser engines.
The long answer: It depends. I like to use eww
to test the accessibility of a website, but since Mozilla destroyed everything I liked about Firefox in November 2017, I’ve been using Vivaldi as my main browser. Although Vivaldi is based on Chromium, it is quite privacy-friendly, performant and extremely customisable. Unfortunately, some websites do not work very well with NetSurf. (I like to report this as a bug to the website operator. It is fatal that everyone always assumes that everyone wants to load and execute hundreds of KiB of JavaScript).
A viable alternative is Guix, which uses Scheme for its scripts and could also use the Hurd kernel instead of Linux, but works the same.
They have not.
OpenBSD seems to be able to have branches (CURRENT and STABLE), and they seem to be able to manage them just fine.
Yes, it is, because it does the job. Why exactly shouldn’t they?
A Windows zero-day vulnerability recently patched by Microsoft was exploited by hackers working on behalf of the North Korean government so they could install custom malware that’s exceptionally stealthy and advanced, researchers reported Monday.
I am always amazed at how easy it is for ‘security researchers’ to speculate about which government is solely responsible for exploiting security vulnerabilities.
I rewrote the last remaining MySQL-based software of mine this year because I didn’t want to have MariaDB just for this one tool. Everything else had already been migrated. PostgreSQL is much faster in my tests.
