04:54 schestowitz; "
04:54 schestowitz; The CHAOSS community has defined more than 70 metrics for measuring the health of open source projects and organizations, says Georg Link, and it provides software tools to help you gain further insight.
04:54 schestowitz; This article covers the five main focus areas or categories to consider, such as common metrics, value metrics, and risk metrics. For example, common metrics can help you understand the types of contributions that organizations and people are making.

11:15 schestowitz; <p>Not too long ago, we walked you through setting up bhyve on FreeBSD 13.1. Today, were going to take a look specifically at how bhyve stacks up against the Linux Kernel Virtual Machinebut before we can do that, we need to talk about the best performing configurations under bhyve itself.</p>
11:16 schestowitz; <p>When we talk about configuration options that have a massive performance impact, were mostly talking about storage configurationCPU configuration options tend to be fairly straightforward, but storage can be configured with different back-end formats and virtual controllers, which can have a massive impact on both throughput and latency.</p>
11:16 schestowitz; <p>OpenZFS is the only back-end storage stack well be testing todayits performance is generally excellent, and its feature set for virtual machine hosting is unparalleled.</p>

17:40 -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.fosslife.org | Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI Face Copyright Lawsuit Over Copilot
17:40 schestowitz; "
17:40 schestowitz; Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI now face a class-action lawsuit claiming that Copilot, an AI-assisted coding tool, violates open source copyright laws, reports Stephen J. Vaughan-Nichols.
17:40 schestowitz; As Vaughan-Nichols explains: Copilot is an AI-based system trained on publicly accessible open source licensed code. While GitHub claims that the code it produces for programmers is not mere copies of the code, in reality, the suit claims, that's exactly what it is. Defendants claim Codex and Copilot do not retain copies of the materials they are trained on. In practice, however, the Output is often a near-identical reproduction of code from the
17:40 schestowitz; training data."
17:40 schestowitz; Additionally, a statement from the Software Freedom Conservancy notes: Given that nearly every line of FOSS ever written is likely in the Copilot training set, it's quite likely that nearly everyone reading this message will find themselves to be part of the class when the Court certifies the class. As such, every one of you, perhaps in the far future or perhaps very soon, will have to make a decision about whether to join this action or not."
17:40 schestowitz; The consequences of this case are potentially severe for Copilot users as well, says Vaughan-Nichols. If the case against GitHub wins out, every last bit of code you've produced using it may be subject to a variety of open source licenses.
