  • Quite a few unexpected results here…

    1. I’m surprised the C binary is not the smallest, and it’s outdone by Pascal, of all languages.
    2. The speed/energy difference between Java and C# (almost a factor of 2 in favor of Java).
    3. The relatively good performance of JavaScript compared to other loosely typed multi-paradigm scripting languages.
    4. The difference between C# and F#. That’s actually a good reason to question the accuracy of these tests and results.

  • I upgrade as soon as new versions come out, I like living on the edge :) if something goes wrong, there are backups.

    As for musl, I haven’t mentioned it since OP wants to run containers - and in that case, musl doesn’t matter. And for running programs natively, many are available as packages (with any musl incompatibilities already resolved). But yeah, if you venture outside these limits, you can definitely run into issues with musl.


  • Everybody is so quick to suggest Debian (and it’s a fine choice), but Alpine is great for such things, as well. It’s blazing fast, frequently updated, has most packages you could ever want in a server environment (not that it matters if you’re planning on using containers). I’ve been using Alpine for years as my docker host, and not once have I thought “man, I wish it was debian instead”.







  • Are you seriously comparing a group that openly targets civilians, hiding in civilian infrastructure, with a group that retaliates? Good luck coming up with a response that matches your standards when your country is under a rocket barrage. The double standards people develop when sitting in the safety of their home and regurgitating biased news… It’s thanks to people like you that this conflict thrives, because extremists from both sides use the lies you spread to their advantage.




  • Huh, so basically, if somebody gives you an Iron Dome installation, and then I start shooting rockets at you, you are going to shrug it off? You are a hypocrite, debating about stuff you clearly know very little about (from reading biased news sources, no doubt).

    Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory and started shooting down unarmed civilians. You can be as peace-loving as you want (I, too, think Israel could’ve done more to progress peace with Palestinians), but to sum it up as (Hammas isn’t blameless, but Israel is responsible because it has more firepower is idiotic at best.

    What’s happening right now is murder of innocent people, clear as day. If you want to seek excuses for the perpetrators, something is really wrong with you.





  • Your screenshot does not really show anything other than the fact that Ally attempts a connection to Facebook (it’s not even clear how it was blocked). You can see the amount of people telling you to unblock NTP, which you stated isn’t blocked - that’s a clear sign that you haven’t presented you data in an easy to review format.

    Why not show what exactly is blocked by the firewall, how the rules are configured, and disabling which rule exactly gets the app to work? E.g., if you block Facebook by redirecting to your own HTTP server that responds, the app may decide to bork because of a failed certificate validation - resolve the Facebook domain as NXDOMAIN in your DNS, and see if that helps.

    The fact that they use Facebook APIs is infuriating, regardless.
