Isn't cursor keys like that? If you get stalls when it sends the 4-5 byte sequence, you get to see ]^A instead of cursor moving. Having dog slow links and tcp set to send each char instead of waiting for a whole line or packet probably

Sure, one compiler can't be egcs 2.95 and the other clang 8 (at least not in most cases) but the target compiler system doesn't even have to have include files, libs, libfoo-devel packages installed or they can be, but from old ve

No it doesn't, it sends preprocessed files just to not depend on remote env.

I get this too often: https://robert.penz.name/354/how-to-fix-the-font-for-virt-ma... The gtk program decided on some font, but didn't have the audacity to request it as a dependency, so you end up with a GUI that

Yeah, if this was super important to many TCP programs, I'd expect some wrapper or so you would run before (like nice, nohup and so on) so that it would 'help' with all kinds of programs and not just ssh.

As seen in the Crypto Snake Oil FAQ from the 90s: http://www.interhack.net/people/cmcurtin/snake-oil-faq.html#... If the first 20-30 years of "please don't" didn't work, I am reluctant to think

I don't think that would be this quick either. Since the code might/will mess up zeropage and/or other dataareas in use by the C64 basic, you would have to wipe it to a known state for each test, which almost means "boot

Oh, try calling in for support on that $1+M CommercialDatabase(tm) installation and tell them SELinux is turned on, or any other similar super expensive software. The 1st line will happily tell you that the most prized data you were willing

Then again, the phishing problem is that you can get m1cros0ft.com registered. If you can get that one and trick someone, you won. If you can get it and a cert for it (free or not) then you as a phisher win. If you can't get it, then y

Irix even had "virtual swap" which had no (or very insufficient sized) backing store for it, just to handle all the superlarge allocations from which it only uses a tiny amount.

..but if the problem is programs not checking malloc() return codes since it will not return failures, then ulimits will in themselves not help the program. It will help the OS to stay alive which is good, but we still need to deal with the

I ran AFS for very long, it does have issues which perhaps other network fs'es don't even notice. It has issues with clients behind NAT for instance, the callbacks won't work. The limit of files in a dir is less than for loca

"graceful degradation" is one of the things worth trying.

I guess this also matters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIPS_140#Criticism It is very easy to see how this in practice lessens security.

AmigaOS would have both a name for the physical device like df0: and dh1: above but also a label or volume name which could be work: or something and those would mostly be interchangeable from the shell to refer either to "any volume n

Also, people could have something like "sort emails from myverifiedbank.com into "Bank" folder" and then fake emails from notsoverifiedbank.com will end up elsewhere. Much like you might have a bookmark for https:/

At least on BSD, you want to be able to separate external 3rd party libs and system libs in case they overlap, so that is why BSDs don't automatically include things under /usr/local.

but the IKE wants to go from udp port 500 to udp port 500, even if they later agree on nat-t over udp 4500, so you can't have two boxes behind the nat answering IKE connections, right? The flow can go outwards if one end is behind nat,

Some people would state "this box is not on the internet" while it actually is only behind nat. As soon as you have two such boxes being able to communicate, for instance "two laptops playing online together" you realize

But it still doesn't seem to consider that putting char data on a 40x25 screen takes one k of ram minus compression, but having a decent logo on a full color 4k screen takes a huge amount more memory. For animations/movies it obvi

Nice to see someone go "lets choose the faster lib over the more secure one" for a security lib. No way that could ever go wrong in the long run. Or if it already did. Not commenting on the choice from alpine, just comment on this

Quote: "Once again, though, it’s not quite OpenSSH. For one thing, our server-side binds to port 2222, not sshd’s 22. Also, it’s written in Golang, not C (both the client and the server)." Makes the subject a bit wrong.
