Is there a reason for not adding such files to your .gitignore? I'm a neat-freak when it comes to file placement, and have a ~/tmp directory specifically for dropping one-off files without cluttering up repos and such. Are the thi

I'm sure that there's going to be plenty of dissent on this, but Arch is a pretty simple distro and attempts to keep packages as vanilla as possible. Their wiki is also an awesome resource (I find myself using it even when trouble

Are we really going to fault Canonical for developing new open source projects, or for those projects not being adopted outside of Ubuntu? I don't have a need for another file manager any more than I needed another init system, but if

No offense, but there really aren't "shades of gray" here. I've definitely pirated things, but not wanting to pay the cost of something doesn't entitle you to spring forth "illegally downloading" as a just

Can you clarify how pirating Adobe's software is "the only option available to [you]"? I get that it's ridiculously expensive and generally a pain in the ass... but needing to do something expensive doesn't provide

I don't suppose there's some way to disable x32 from within a running system that's not using it? edit: It doesn't appear there is. Not shocking, but I was hoping for a bit of luck.

I am not actively using it, but I am running kernels that have CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled.

Awesome! Any chance the keychain patches can be applied against this?

by akerl_ 13y ago
Has anyone seen talk of this leading to an expedited 3.13.2/3.12.10 release? If I need to manually patch my kernels to fix this, I'll do it, but if upstream is going to release fixed versions shortly, that seems like the preferabl

I don't run Ubuntu myself, but CONFIG_X86_X32 isn't a new architecture, it's an option for 64 bit kernels. Based on the state of that bug report, it looks like it's an option they've enabled in their recent 64 bit k

Unfortunately, it looks like Ubuntu just recently enabled it in their kernels: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1274754

I doubt that their security emails do that, but even if they do, changing how you get the key wouldn't fix a PGP compatibility issue, since once you have the key you'd still be emailing them using it.

Can you clarify what kind of CNAME you're referring to? The only CNAMEs that aren't "supported" are CNAMEs on the root of a zone, which are a violation of the DNS spec, as CNAMEs cannot coexist with other records, which

After browsing the site, I'm left with 2 questions: What does this service offer that makes it more desirable than the whole crowd of other Notification-As-A-Service providers, and how do I make an API call to it? It doesn't look

The only credentials that were accessible were hashed forum passwords from the time of the restore (all of which have been revoked), and forum accounts are not linked to any other Linode systems.

Docker requires some kernel options both for networking (VLANs/etc) and devicemapper (thin provisioning, in particular) that the Linode kernel didn't have enabled before. You could run Docker on a Linode by using your own kernel w

Can you clarify which integration tests you're referring to? I'd be happy to run them and provide the output. I ran through the whole process linked from the Github repo ( http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/c

That's what I figured, and I'm glad to have it confirmed. I've seen enough projects that have a rigid "if your dev environment isn't perfect, your code's no good to us" mindset that I was wary. Also, just

The Linode kernel appears to only fail the AUFS portion, as expected: https://gist.github.com/akerl/8245192 I'm not sure how the Docker devs handle non-AUFS-related contributions from contributors whose systems do
