I should just change my opening to "This is your host NCommander, and once again, I'm suffering through X" :)

Instructions unclear, currently at bottom of the Pacific. Found Integrity hardware, but nothing actually useful.

If I had one, I'd look at doing so :)

I use DaVinci Resolve 17 for primary video editing, plus Fusion for basic composition. Blender was done for most of the animation work (the semaphores being fusion compositions instead cause I was lazy). Audio is recorded in Resolve, but po

No, I'm aware it is. Most of the problems is people trying to use it to distribute binary source code. Using it for source builds and debian/rules is a lot saner and straight forward. These types of debs cause problems with system

The best equivalent I can give is this is roughly like opening up a MSI file, and replacing its guts. It works but you're asking for a really fragile system in return. What is the problem with distributing a tarball if you're send

Wow, this is horrible advice. I'm a Debian Developer and an Ubuntu Core Developer. What this will do is create a package that doesn't properly handle dependencies and be incredibly fragile. Debian and Ubuntu automatically resolve

The entire point of authnicode wasn't to protect users, it was to make sure software wasn't modified in flight (ala what SourceForge did), and to make those binaries accountable. Now we're getting to the point that this feels

I'm happy to see this project going onward due to the fact that systemd continues to be a giant sore that keeps entrenching on the entire stack. If nothing else, it means that a usable Linux distro w/o systemd is viable. Love it o

If you are the copyright holder, you can put a OpenSSL exception clause in your license which allows this to work. Debian requires such a clause for GPL software to link with OpenSSL prior to this change.

AIX at least has LLVM, and IBM had unofficial GCC ports for years. If you want a dumpster fire for development work, I'd highly recommend HP-UX. HP-UX's stdio wasn't very std back in 1990s. What I remember is a bunch of sysca

It does in Microsoft's world who #define it like that. As I remember, and if I'm wrong, I'll correct it, the different on 32-bit was that stdcall and pascal change the order of how arguments are injected.

IBM Mainframes laugh at Windows backward compatibility. 50-60+ years isn't unheard of. I actually want to at some point climb that cliff but my next write up is exploring Windows 3.11's networking features, and then Novell NetWare

Even for Windows 1.0, I can see ways to cut this thing down to size. The point though is that this is what MSFT actually included in the SDK, and I remember reading about in "Programming Windows" and other sources. It just took me

They did in 32-bit Windows (NT3.1 is pretty much the same on a core level from Win 10). The problem here was that the 8088 suffered from segmentation which put "interesting" constraints on programs, and then Intel's 80286 was

No, not really. You can get chroots to run on a command kernel but ABI changes happen without soversion bumps which stupidly complicate matters. Godhelp you if your application tries to use weird ALSA or even worse, OSS features. I've

I'm fine with either showing up, although it originally was posted to SoylentNews (which I'm a site administrator), and then sent to neozeed to post as SN deals with news more like HN and I didn't want it to get lost in the a

You're welcome. I just got tipped off on this ending up here. The rabbit hole was incredibly deep, but by time I was out of it, I was determined to share the pain with the rest of the world :)

Are there any plans to push this code back upstream to Apache? My understanding is SF.net abandoned the legacy alexandria (the PHP code from VA Linux) source code, built the current version, and then sent to the Apache Foundation, but I&#x2

Actually, the "don't have IP address" is a sanity check if this code fired from slashd; if someone coming in from the web interface, the GATEWAY_INTERFACE var is always set by mod_perl.

backslash (the admin interface) is fragile, during beta testing, we got the site stuck in an infinite loop because the UI for topic creation is not the greatest. I'm not sure I get the 'stores weblogs in mysql' bit as wordp

I don't mind portscanning per say if its clear you're doing it but a website should never trip a corporate firewall or IDS. We're going to re-rig this code to check the inbound IP against a local DNSBL or something similar an
