I’m pretty certain that you can turn Relay off in your account settings.

Its range is also only 180 miles. The smaller battery definitely helps keep the cost down.

This car might not be for me but I definitely see its value and hope they’re successful.

I see three possible reasons:

• He’s dead

• El Salvador and the US don’t want anyone to speak about what’s going on in the prison

• Trump wants to use this as a test. If he can get away with this, he can get away with sending most anyone.

Yes.

But they didn’t say they can’t get him back. They said they won’t get him back. The Trump administration argues that the courts cannot order them to bring him back to the US as he is not on US land.

My personal guess is that he’s already dead. They put him in a prison with the same people who wanted to murder him.

They could still use whatever config format they wanted - this would just be for providing their config schema. It also doesn’t need to be YAML, that’s just the easiest one for me to type on my phone. In fact, I think most schema validation programs rely on JSON as it is.

I also don’t think programs should be required to provide it. Many core programs and kernel modules would likely take years if they ever were able to add it just to avoid the risk of mistakes causing any major issues, especially if they haven’t needed an update in years. There are also many config files that use their own nonstandardized schema. A possibility is that they could be allowed to provide a CLI tool which could update the config or they could just ignore it entirely.

But creating a common schema for… well, the config schema would make it easier for systems to provide a frontend interface for updating your configs.

Seriously - Linux needs a standardized config schema spec. Something that programs should provide which an application can read and provide a frontend interface for the users to adjust config files.

Could be something like:

schema_version: 1.0
application:
  name: Poo Analyzer
  icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/icon.png
  description: Analyzes photos of poo
schema:
  - config_file:
      path: /etc/pooanalyzer/conf/poo.conf
      conf_type: ini
    configs:
      - field: poo_directory
        type: dir_path
        name: Poo Image Directory
        description: Directory of Poo Images
        icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/poo.png
      - field: poo_type
        type: list
        name: Poo Types
        description: Types of Poo to Analyze 
        values:
          - dog
          - cat
          - human
          - brown bear
        icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/animal.png
          ...

Any distro could then create any frontend they’d like to manage this - the user could even install their own.

Yeah something like that should be doable but it would require that programs provide a schema and the OS to have a way for the programs to “announce” themselves so it can be aware of the configuration files and the schema.

I’m sure some project could create a GUI that could cover the most common applications, though.

It’s always fun trying to set up a program, learning the config syntax, running it, having it fail, and then spending an hour debugging before you realize it never even read your config changes because you were supposed to use one of the other half dozen conf files it has spread all across your drive. Is it under /etc/, /usr/local/etc/, /opt/, or your home directory?

And, in the meantime, you’ll only destroy your OS maybe a few dozen times!

There are existing standards. The issue is that there are too many different standards and some programs will choose to make their conf files half standardized, half unique.

There’s INI, YAML, JSON, XML, TOML, etc.

Honestly, the Linux team needs to just choose one of these formats, declare it the gold standard, and slowly migrate the config files for most core components over to it. By declaring a standard, you’ll eventually get the developers of most major third-party tools and components to eventually migrate.

Apparently it’s Athena Linux. At least, that’s what the hackable vacuums use.
