Isn't cloud init just slurping its own config file, then generating the "real" config files and slurping those into the right spaces? To me, "copies a file named wpa_supplicant.conf from /boot to /etc on first

I wonder if consolidation actually makes this less of an issue for businesses? If my website is down, but my competitors' isn't, I might lose business to them. If my competitor's website is also down, where are the customers

I've had issues using root-on-nfs now that dnf uses a sqlite database. However, root-on-iscsi has been working really well for me. At first I was PXE booting a kernel and custom initramfs over TFTP, and having the initramfs initiate th

If you're familiar with the Linux boot process, you may be aware that the system often does run from RAM for a period of time, before mounting a filesystem from a block device and calling pivot_root to transfer the rootfs over. If you

iirc the Arduino term is "cores", which implement the HAL for a different family of boards. Been a while since I looked deeper at it https://docs.arduino.cc/learn/starting-guide/cores/

I think the question is, what use is adding a CLA if the core functionality was under (A)GPL? Unless you go back and get all the OG contributors to sign over their rights, how can you relicense?

I can tell you with 100% certainty that there are undiscovered vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel right now. Does that mean they should stop shipping? I do think that contributing fuzzing and quality bug reports can be beneficial to a proj

What is the mission of Project Zero? Is it to build a vulnerability database, or is it to fix vulnerabilities? If it's to fix vulnerabilities, it seems within reason to expect a patch. If the reason Google isn't sending a patch is

Sorry, I don’t know why I googled around and thought “Poudriere” was the one. I was thinking of Bastille, which is for managing jails

I've done something like this in the past, it works really well. Have you used Poudriere? I never tried it, but it sounds promising. Ansible is a good idea as well. I just wrote some shell scripts that parsed a file with some packages

It's difficult for me to tell how many of the issues in that thread are serious, because there also seem to be a surprising number of people who come back to say "I solved it by enabling h264 in my browser". On the other hand

I've been really happy with my JetKVM. The tariff situation is unfortunate, my recollection is that it was something like $50 during the kickstarter (could be wrong, didn't check). Looking around a bit, I'm not sure I see any

Latency of swap is always terrible in comparison to RAM. RAM vs disk is already something ~1000x right? I've never characterized EBS vs trad ssd, but I would be surprised if it's more than 10x. I don't think using swap as &qu

That simply isn’t true. YouTube had a huge community when it was just amateurs sharing videos for the love of the sport. Professional content creators didn’t come along until much later.

It was not super difficult to get Gentoo running on an m1 MacBook with the (unsupported) instructions some of the Asahi folks left around. I guess Arch might be a bit more difficult in some ways, given the weird status of arm64 being a diff

It looks like they ran a bunch of open source games. Even the slowest combination in the benchmarks is getting over 500 FPS. Why wouldn't they just test it with normal commercial video games? It doesn't give me a lot of confidence

There's a wide spectrum between "extremely efficient" and "insanely ridiculous". To keep it short, I think the incentives are pretty well aligned here. There's not much of an incentive for either party to waste
