If you are interested, try something like this to start making sense of the code: cc -E m.c | indent | grep -v INDENT | less and separately read k.h for typedefs etc.

I think this is what you really want to ask: “This style of programming is totally foreign to me. Clearly this is intentional — I am curious as to why you chose it. Can you explain?” :-) Understanding why someone else makes a difference c

IMHO a microservice should follow the unix philosophy of doing one thing well. But interfacing with other services is not as simple as unix pipes. In particular it is more of a request/response communication. Consequently, interfacing

Note: the Jmicron site explicitly mentions support for the TRIM feature for the JMS580 but not earlier bridge devices including 561. This matters if you connect SATA SSDs.

It is the default for a new user in FreeBSD. The OP seems to be confusing pfsense (which is based on FreeBSD) with FreeBSD itself.

by bakul 7y ago
The default shell (what "adduser" offers as the default login shell) in FreeBSD is sh (/bin/sh). The root's shell is /bin/csh given FreeBSD's BSD roots. Though pfsense may have changed its defaults

Note that the main issue here is to avoid cpu throttling due to excessive heat. IIRC you can allow a higher cut-off temp (100ºC instead 77ºC) by setting a config parameter. This will possibly reduce the chip lifespan from whatever it is to

To me the Equifax story is the Nth such story that points out a crying need for a better security model . In 99%+ cases single teams can no longer produce 100% of the code that companies rely on. Most teams do not have (or can not afford t

ken replied to the thread about this on TUHS 4-5 days prior to the actual crack. But you are right. No one actually said "hey ken, better change your password if you haven't because I am going to crack the password you used in

by bakul 7y ago
A password is supposed to be very hard to guess by others but not so hard for you to remember so it can be said to be PII! And no, it is not assumed that IT will crack your password. Because how do you know how far IT would go to crack yo

The /etc/passwd file from which this password was unearthed has a date of Jan 5 1980 (from a 3BSD tar file). Presumably ken has updated his password since then.

A proper policy would’ve been to not have any human look at a user’s password and just email them a warning about their weak password. A password should be considered a PPI (personal, private information) and off limits to others, no matter

I think Wellerstein reads more into what Oppenheimer said (years later) about what he thought when he saw the explosion than what he may have meant. My take is that Oppenheimer was saying the quote from the Bhagvad Geeta accurately describe

They’re certainly wrong about Scheme. They used MIT-Scheme to count keywords, when they should’ve used R5RS Scheme or newer. R5RS has 20 keywords + 4 if you add support for macros. With define-syntax you can define many special forms such

In vi you can operate on N chars, words, lines etc. quite efficiently. Mouse based editing, at least beyond what you see on the screen, is more laborious and less accurate. Typing a regexp to find or replace, or moving to a specific locatio

k (specifically k3) runs on FreeBSD if you use linux emulation. The same is true of q. IIRC, there are no limits on the 32 bit version of q (unlike the old k3). kona is more portable but needs work.

I first started using zfs in 2005 when my hardware raid failed. Since then I’ve moved the disks to a new server in 2009 and replaced all the disks twice (one at a time for redirecting). Finally I built a new server this year. This time I’m

Sugar as per taste but milk is a must! I use 1:2 water:milk but you can vary it. About 1 tsp of masala per cup or mug. Typically you’d heat the whole concoction till the milky water rises once or twice. I don’t put in the tea (loose or tea

Normal cha (what we call it in Gujarat) has no extra spices except perhaps some fresh ginger. Masala cha is made by boiling it with a spice mix of dry ginger, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, all ground to a powder. I use a proport
