There's something I've wondered about but I haven't seen addressed in your posts (I may have missed it): It seemed to me that in 2016 there were much more political news posts that I'd have said violated the "If the

A wmii tag workspace encompasses all the monitors; if I switch tags on one monitor, it switches tags on all monitors; you can't show multiple tags at once. In principle, wmii handles multiple monitors great; it's had Xinerama supp

"Configuration as code" is a concept that really speaks to me. It's the ethos of Emacs (which I also use), and wmii does it as well. <tangent>In fact, for a long time (now I'm not so sure) I even thought wmii did

The "obvious" answer for me is EXWM; since I'm an Emacs user anyway. The things keeping me from EXWM (besides just finding time to make the switch) are that: 1) I'm concerned about Emacs being single-threaded; on the bo

cat-v.org is largely untouched since Uriel died in 2012; Wayland existed, but was enough of an experimental new thing in 2012 that I'd be very surprised if cat-v.org mentioned it.

If i3 is descended from wmii, that's news to me. wmii moved to Google Code[1] before becoming abandonware before Google Code shut down. Nevertheless, I continue to use wmii as my daily driver (as it has been for just a few months shy o

When filing a PR there's a "allow maintainers to edit the PR" checkbox (I don't recall the exact wording). If the PR owner doesn't check it, the maintainer can't change the target branch.

That's not what's going on here. You're referring to the braindead behavior that `/dev/random` can block because it thinks its entropy pool has been depleted, which is of course dumb because once the pool is suffic

UUIDv1s (RFC 4122 §4.2.1) also rely on several things that are even less likely to be available at early-boot: - The clock might not be initialized; the justification for using rdrand specifically calls out embedded systems; embedded system

They do go through the kernel; it asks the kernel "can I use rdrand", and the kernel says "yep, go ahead, it works on this CPU". If that's not true, and it doesn't work on the CPU, then it's the kernel&

1. Scroll up in the same file, there's a lengthy comment about it. 3. You don't. The `nordrand` argument is a kernel argument that tells the kernel to disable rdrand; so then when systemd asks the kernel if rdrand is supported th

If I'm reading the source right, it actually falls back to a blocking `getrandom` followed by /dev/urandom; so actually instead of spamming the logs about "entropy pool hasn't been seeded", it will block until

I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Are you saying that: - What the pro-Trump crowd did on 2021-01-06 at the capitol building is essentially the same as what the anti-Kavanaugh crowd did on 2018-10-04 at the Hart

Indeed, in my use (with the Parabola GNU/Linux-libre distro), this is the killer use-case of distcc. This is how most of Parabola's packages for MIPS were built, and how many for ARM are built.
