  • The AUR attack attacked the build files. On nix, you could easily set a new download url for the package, set the new hash, and claim the project has moved to a new repo/site.

    That would require a second person to vet on it, but it could be seen as normal for a maintainer not in the know about the project.

    New packages are harder to pass, but it could also work.









  • Routers are multiple things in one box:

    • Network gateway: this is the exit point for your home network. All the traffic going to the internet is routed here, then sent towards the internet. Traffic coming from the internet is also pass through here, and is directed towards the switch

    • Network switch: this is the “junction” of your network. Each device, the gateway, wifi, tv, etc… Is connected to it. It directs traffic where it wants to go

    • wifi module: this turns regular wired internet into wifi, handles connections, etc…

    • tv module: this is especially a device that connects to the internet and get the tv stream from it



  • The only true use I found for AI while programming is boilerplate, aka code that is really simple with only one way to do it.

    I don’t really have an equivalent for 2d art, but in 3D art that would be basic shapes like spheres, cubes, pyramids

    So actually, the analogy would be a robot that unwrap the ice-cream’s packaging for you.
