Hard drives and optical discs are the reason they duplicated the data. The duplicated the data to reduce load times.

it seems wild the state of games and development today... imagine 131GB out of 154GB of data was not needed....

i think you can see from the development of coding agents that people do want this. i would add 'to their own detriment', but i am a cynic and a C programmer.

If you're trying to deny internet access to a program, beware that landlock only restricts tcp sockets. Programs are free to setup udp or just raw sockets.

I am puzzled by this:

> A official c library doesn’t exist yet unfortunately, but there’s several out there you can try.

> Landlock is a Linux Security Module (LSM) available since Linux 5.13

Since when is not a C API the first and foremost interface for developers when it comes to Linux kernel stuff?

its kind of funny to say: "A official c library doesn’t exist yet unfortunately, but there’s several out there you can try." if its litterally in the standard library...

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/landlock.7.html

But i suppose i am missing somehting then people would like...

What would you want an library to do here? abstract over it to make it easier? (relatively simple api already)

legit question, not trying to poke anyone here.. trying to find out what ppl expect from libraries which wrap around these syscalls or stdlib things.

I think the terminology here isn't sharp. One of the first headlines is: "Language is not necessary nor sufficient for thought" I disagree. Language is not necessary for cognitive processes in individuals/organisms. It is absolutely necessary for what we commonly refer to as thought (bit of a pretentious we: it involves you in the group of people who have some idea about philosophy (e.g. baseline-heidegger)/the humanities/psychoanalysis etc.) that which we refer to as thought. Thought can be a decentralised process that is happening "between" individuals ("Die Sprache spricht" - Language is speaking by heidegger points into that direction). Thought is also, imho, a symbolic process (which involves sign systems, mathematics, languages, images). Not everything going on as a cognitive process is therefor constituting thought. That's why one can act thoughtless- but not "cognitionless".

i think you are right, but its hard to explain as ppl can interpret your words in many ways depending on their context.

i think this: you dont need language for an idea, to have it, or be creative.

to think about it outside of that, like asking critical questions, inner dialogue _about_ the ideas and creativity, that is i think what is 'thought' and that requires language as its sort of inner communication....

I could, but I'd rather not enable HTTP on devices that don't need it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm keenly aware there's easier ways to accomplish such a goal, but that's not the point. I have discovered something new and, as a way of practicing multiple other skills at the same time, am musing over homelab projects I could do to put it into practice and cement that knowledge.

It's just like my internal-only emoji DNS resolver: goofy, amusing, and ultimately impractical outside of the homelab, but still a great way to learn several new things together.

you could run ur own resolver somewhere and have ur devices update that? i think dns updates are a bit 'slow' sometimes so unsure how much u'd need to update them. if its frequent id say ur own dns resolver would be fastest as ur control the records directly on the box u query
