And an unlimited life span.

How would you run a project like this? People come and go. People do a one-time contribution and then you never hear from them again. People work on a project for years and then just go silent. Honestly, credit where credit is due, but how is a project like this supposed to manage this?


You can have CLA without assigning copyright to the project.

You don't need assignment to the project if you are not planning to change project's license.

You do need assignment to the project if you need to ever rugpull the community and close the code


You could pick a license and not plan to relicense later. Like Linux.


What do you mean by 'manage?' In your mind, what are you planning to do in the future that you need my full copyright as a change owner?


AmigaOS supported both. Each drive and in addition each medium had it's own name. If GAMEDISK was in floppy 0, you could reference it either as DF0: or as GAMEDISK:

You could even reference media that was not loaded at the time (e.g. GAMEDISK2:) and the OS would ask you to insert it into any drive. And there were "virtual" devices (assigns) that could point to a specific directory on a specific device, like LIBRARIES:


It has been completely playable for the past 10 years, what exactly are you missing?


The campaign. It doesn't work, and loading these maps in unlimited play hangs the game completely.


I love the ability to directly run docker containers.

I think their approach to authentication / authorization is insane (not in a good way).


Those auth UX challenges are being worked on:

https://github.com/lxc/incus-os/issues/496

https://github.com/lxc/incus-os/issues/497

IMO the client certs are pretty elegant from a technical perspective. It works well with the CLI, but the browser experience is different enough to cause at least some base level wtf-ery.


Elegant, schmellegant. If you want your software to be usable in an enterprise environment, you have to support OIDC out of the box.


Yeah, most enterprise deployments of Incus use OIDC for authentication and then OpenFGA for authorization with permissions typically synchronized with something like AD/Entra.

TLS certs remain used for some role account type stuff and as a break glass type of access for when OIDC is unavailable and there's an emergency. A nice characteristic of TLS certificates is that they can be generated safely in a HSM which you can then dump into a safe, works well in the corporate world, much better than passwords for this kind of thing.


Besides VMs and LXC/Proxmox-style containers, it can also run docker containers out of the box.


It can do VMs, "system containers" like LXC and Docker/OCI-compatible application containers.

There was a project to implement a dockcer-compose compatible "incus-compose" but unfortunately, it looks dead, right now.

You can even set up a kubernetes cluster entirely composed of containers: https://github.com/lxc/cluster-api-provider-incus


When you don't know who runs archive.is, you can also never know if he sold it to someone else (except if either party publically announces it).


This type of possibility really worries me. Archive.is is much closer to actual history in many ways. If the data there starts getting corrupted or biased, there’s no way to know if what was truly there.

The idea that the permanent record of the internet could hinge on the ethics of one stranger behind a server rack is deeply unsettling.


This happens on .gov websites a lot now, and it is deeply unsettling.

Knowing the current owner of archive.is doesn't help; we need more full, independent Internet mirrors that can be compared against each other.


Archive.is does not archive the page exactly as is.


And when the information on archive.is starts getting corrupted, those links can be adjusted or removed.


Who will catch it, when and how?


Gaza Health Ministry === Hamas.

Stop spreading terrorist's propaganda.


This is exactly the sort of brain-dead take that my comment was meant to correct.

The Gaza Health Ministry is a professional organization that has been found again and again to work reliably. Even Israeli intelligence has determined that the Gaza Health Ministry is reliable. Look, I don't like the fact that a far-right political party (founded by a literal terrorist, Menachem Begin) that wants to annex the West Bank and Gaza runs the Israeli government, but I still trust morgue data that comes out of Israel. The same goes for Gaza.


The Gaza Health Ministry was also completely destroyed in March 2024, because the increasing death toll was inconvenient. Since then, the most cited death toll ("more than 50,000") has been the one that was current in March 2024.


[flagged]


You'll have to explain that to the Israeli intelligence services, which surveiled Gaza Health Ministry staff (e.g., listening to their phone calls) and determined that they were working in good faith.

Just because the governing political party carries out terrorist attacks against Israel, that does not mean that literally every institution in Gaza is unreliable. The IDF carries out war crimes all the time and is known to be extremely unreliable,[0] but there are still many institutions inside Israel that are reliable.

0. There are way, way too many examples of this to list here, but I'll just highlight one. The IDF attacked a convoy of Palestinian ambulances in Rafah, killing almost all of the paramedics. When this came out, the IDF put out a statement claiming that the ambulances were actually being used as a cover for Palestinian Islamic Jihad and had approached an IDF position with their lights off. Then, a video surfaced of the incident, showing that the ambulances were flashing their emergency lights, and that the paramedics were unarmed and had been gunned down by the IDF. It also came out that the IDF had subsequently buried the ambulances, in order to try to hide the evidence. In other words, the IDF committed a war crime, tried to cover it up, and then concocted an elaborate series of lies that they put out for public consumption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafah_paramedic_massacre.


It's very convenient to assert that literally nothing that goes on within Gaza is knowable, in exclusion of any other facts, "because Hamas", but you're not actually engaging with the reality that external validation and corroboration can still exist.


> Stop spreading terrorist's propaganda.

By your logic, every single human inside a country must be a terrorist. And therr must not be a single exception to the rule, right?

So what, Hamas has a 2 Mio terrorists army?

Are you really this radical? How about just not killing civilians, because they don't have anything to do with the warring parties?


It is Hamas who does not allow free press in Gaza. Instead, their terrorists regularily dress up as "journalists".


So you say IDF is so inept it can't stop this after year and half? How much longer and what kind of escalation will it take? They are basically letting Hamas win this way. As if it was some unfathomable mysterious adversary that had not lived next door for decades.
