Thanks. That one's on me doing incomplete research. Still leaves open the question as VM for obfuscation (RE tooling, ease of implementation from scratch) though.

The man pages that ship with systemd seem very thorough to me. The problem is rather that they're very thorough in the first place. They're a very hard, lengthy read and you kind of require to understand all of it before things be

On a related note: I've noticed that ffmpeg supports the BCSTM format, which has built-in loop points (unsurprisingly, since it's used for video game music). ffmpeg decodes and stores that information. mpv however doesn't tak

I'm surprised that microkernel-like IPC still hasn't found its way into any *NIX system. The closest we've gotten is System V IPC, which has never really taken off. Is this just difficult to design well or are people genuinel

I think we misunderstood each other? "It" in my post referred to the Rust cargo package in question. The package ships configure.in, but not the generated configure. You do need autoconf for configure.in -> configure. Similarly
