Yeah that site is pretty good. There's a lot of information though. I think a good starting point is maybe this page: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/env-variations/
An important point to add for someone who hasn't heard of reproducible builds before: The key difference to a normal build process is that it is 100% deterministic i.e. it produces exactly the same output every time.
You might think that most built processes would be like this by default, however this is not the case. Compilers and linkers usually have some non-deterministic values that they put in the final binary such as timestamps. For a build to be deterministic these sources of variation must be disabled or mocked to be a repeatable value (i.e. not based on the actual compile time).
It seems like it's alive again. You saved it OP!
His fur is also very luscious. Clearly very well fed indeed.
I hope the mods don't ban him, I heard that well fed foxes aren't well received on some platforms
Would a game that is essentially a micro Linux distro count? I feel that should be pretty doable as a bootable USB stick or CD.
If you did it that way you'd have to bundle the Linux kernel plus graphics drivers at a minimum. But I wonder how much of the OS you could avoid having. Certainly you wouldn't need a Desktop Environment. I wonder if you would need something like X or Wayland or if you could get away without that (to run games built in a normal-ish userspace way). I guess finding the minimal environment for SDL would be a good starting point. That sounds like an interesting exercise for sure.
Although something like that probably isn't as pure as you're looking for, it would be pretty cool to do anyway. Maybe we should start a club.
I found this good video by Trace Dominguez. He gives a good overview and also mentions a bunch of new studies that are being done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpjGLLbWZJ0
Memes of the past!? Isn't this meme like 4 years old. I feel old now
I believe the delta is 1 day. The Ukrainian defense ministry has been posting some variation of these infographics on Facebook each day since the war started.
Has there been any messaging about whether this is costing the dev money? Does us using the app mean they'll get a huge invoice at some point?
Also, are other 3rd party apps working still as well?
This truly is the internet of old. Gen Z cower before the might of the old gods
Including a Cessna apparently (if you don't get that reference you should definitely Google it)
Unfortunately given how hard reproducible builds are they aren't done much, and aren't talked about much. A vicious cycle. A nice short video would indeed be helpful for understand and awareness.
