I switched to ZFS for a while but had to switch back because of how much was broken. Overlayfs had issues, reflinks didn't work, etc. Linux-specific stuff that just works on kernel filesystems was missing or buggy. I saw later they add

What if the common intermediate encoding is text, not binary? Then grep/diff/sed all still work. If we had a formatting tool that operated solely on AST, checked in code could be in a canonical form for a given AST. Editors could

This isn't bear, the compilation database building cli tool, for those similarly confused.

I would buy this.

How does nested KVM work? Are all the page tables handled by the top level? Do the traps have to propagate up?

I usually put an inline wrapper around vtable functions so that `thing->vtable->foo(thing, ...)` becomes `foo(thing, ...)`.

I wouldn't buy cables from them. Their 100W cables dont work even with their own 100W chargers. Bought multiple at different times, since I'd been using them with 60W chargers before. All of them had the same issue with dropping o

PIC code would work where PIE does, but likely perform worse. In shared libraries, calls to any non-static function can't be assumed to be the same function at runtime, since another library linked or using LD_PRELOAD may also define t

PIE code is different than PIC. PIE can assume no interposition.

This post feels uncomfortably a lot like Claude generated text.

by accelbred 1y ago
so files require PIC code, which brings along symbol interpolation.

Emacs should also be doing kerning. I use proportional fonts for non-prog-mode buffers and no issue here.

Is there a magit equivalent? I heavily use magit's interactive features and extensions to the git UI (like spinoff, absorb, or the auto-backup thing)

Yup, but that leads to io-uring devs complaining that people dislike software using io-uring because it doesn't run in containers/etc blocking io-uring entirely

If firefox implemented WebSerial and WebUsb, I'd lose a lot of trust in it. I say this as an embedded developer.

I don't miss the X11 days where I had to patch restoring window positions out of every application that did so. Good riddance. Just that last time I had the application on a side monitor doesn't mean it should move itself after la

I've bought cables from them that dont work with their own chargers. Bought multiple of each so was not a one-off. Their 100W cables fail when used with chargers that can do 100W.

This seems like it might impact systemd musl systems too, due to the NSS and getpwent requirement, right?

MH World didn't have Denuvo on release, but it was added with the expansion. It was thus easy to tell.

Does it allow you to make functions weak? Can you do something like gcc's constructor attribute?

At the airport, on the way to a Linux conference, I wore the Kagi shirt and people initiated conversations due to it.

I personally only snapshot Documents, Pictures, my git repo dir, etc. Stuff like .cache and podman stuff stays unsnapshotted. I just recommend to others to snapshot home since most people don't want to bother categorizing their data.

On a CoW filesystem like btrfs/bcachefs/zfs, a snapshot only has the overhead of the delta, so are cheap. Btrbk can also take disk space into account for garbage collecting snapshots? Not sure.
84.
by accelbred 2y ago
Nah, recycle bin is the wrong model. Automatic filesystem snapshoting is the way to go. Snapshots are cheap and let you recover full state from your history. Just use btrfs, and set up btrbk to snapshot your home directory every 5 minutes,

I don't buy that uutils will be a meaningful improvement for security. Though replacing GPL licensed coreutils with a MIT licensed alternative is not a good look for Ubuntu's support of free software.

Why can't webusb be implemented as an extension using a native messaging host?

by accelbred 2y ago
Agreed. Therefore I use niether webUSB or vendor apps but rather use hardware that works with openocd and open source tooling.

Unchecking resistFingerprinting in the settings disables these. You can also use the new firefox FPP settings to enable most if RFP stuff but opt out of specific stuff like dark mode, timezone, etc. You can even add per-site exceptions. For

I once moved a C++ project to C, and compile times went from 15 minutes to 5 seconds. It was a huge productivity boost. LLVM being slow to compile is also one of the reasons the Zig folk are looking to make it an optional dependency.

You can use Librewolf with Mozilla's sync server; you don't have to self-host to have sync with it.
