Yes, completely. If there's no business contract in place, it's hard to expect compensation of any sort. It's all hinged on the other party's willingness to recognize the value in keeping the project alive. Very few do.

I don't think anyone is expecting you to donate to literally every project you use. However, say your business is to build and sell a product done in JS. You already have a bunch of JS devs, whom you may have even bought those sweet Ma

For starters, assuming the Linux variant, build a statically compiled application, pack it into an initramfs as the only file there, for simplicity name it `/init`, bundle the initramfs with the kernel, boot. At this point, your app sh

The first one is indeed non-obvious, but the remaining snippets presented as bugs would not pass a review unless hidden inside 1k+ LOC PRs. Some are so blatantly obvious (seriously for loop and not passing current value as variable?) that I

Storm in a teacup? It's not like this is the most wasteful package on the system, so I don't see where the drama is. If you're building a minimal image based on Ubuntu, just go ahead and apply the workaround, or remove the fi

Putting emphasis on Good codebase. I'm afraid in practice good codebases are few and far between (the companies). Doesn't mean we should not try to make them better.

This made me chuckle a bit. The polish government can hardly contract appropriate levels coal so that people who burn it to heat their homes have trouble replenishing their supplies before winter. Just yesterday they came up with 50% tax on

I think my main problems with AppArmor are the feature set isn't coherent across all distros that use it and it isn't integrated too well with audit tools. OpenSUSE ships distro patches that are a major hack to make ausearch prope

It still requires a process to run. AFAICT the probe only puts an entry in a map, which a userspace process reads from and launches a shell. So, while the triggering mechanism remains hidden, the process that launches the shell needs to tak

Canonical directly maintains only a handful of snaps, and even so it's up to the individual teams to do the relevant QA before publishing a version to the stable. You'd expect that publishers follow the same process, that a stable

> big Linux companies I'm not sure the company can be considered a big one. The headcound was like ~600 last time I checked. Compare that with SUSE (~2k) and RH (~12k, bet just their engineering is more than the whole of Canonical).
