That's why most partitions have the nodev mount option. An (one of the rreasons) why there is pushback on a single big partition for everything.

Can't speak for Denmark. But usually those border-checks are done couple km/miles after the border. Police will just stop "random" cars/trucks and do a "routine check". And "random" it might be a

> At least in my country, so far recommendations for vaccinations had been "conservative" to only vaccinate against things that seem especially risky. Well then good news, COVID-19 is "especially risky".

Interesting. The german word entscheiden (decide) is also based on scheiden (to part) as in Scheidung (divorce) and dahinscheiden (to die slowly). And even more meanings from the same root-word.

ACPI implementations differ, bugs and crappy ACPI stacks. Faulty firmware is everywhere. Also every device driver needs to handle suspend/resume for the device, which is very hard to implement without documentation. And the only way is

A mirror is not reversing right and left. If you point to the right(East) your mirror image is also pointing to your right(East).

That's great if you App is compute bound. "May all your Processes be compute bound." Back in the real world most of the time your Process will be io bound. I think that's the real innovation of the M1 chip.

It's doable if you can get OK from every single copyright owner of the source files. LLVM did it. Switching from "University of Illinois/NCSA" to "APL 2.0". But not without some big discussions.

The GPL license usage is falling, and even Linux is GPLv2 and rejects GPLv3. Some Linux code is dual licenses GPLv2 and MIT. ApacheV2, MPL, MIT, ISC and BSD licenses are gaining in popularity.

Because Microsoft doesn't demand you open source your plugins. GNU software might force you to. Corporations choosing to not use GPL software mostly don't know enough about it, to know it's ok. So they ban it outright.

The landing burn will relight 2 engines to slow down, then land on 1 engine. SN8 was really close. Only a couple more seconds before the engine ate itself would do. :)

go apps are and will be easy to run on OpenBSD. It's one of the languages which are really as easy as "go get githbu.com/..." Edit: It's just the go mantra of compile once run forever doesn't really work on Ope

that common language is called POSIX Edit: All libc basically adhere to it. Except for some extentions that are not in POSIX but might be in glibc/musl/FreeBSDs libc or some extentions that are OpenBSD specific.

I'm sorry OpenBSD also cranks libc versions whenever needed. And it depends on what changed, if it'll run on an old kernel. Since it links against a fixed version, keeping it running involves recompiling or some trickery... So bas

Nice. One can still get the weather by fingering, for example, paris@graph.no. If you want encryption there is a way to hang it out over ssh protocol. Which brings me to a very small project to create a quick password. ssh -q passwd@netzbas

The argv += optind; is a standard pattern. I have never considered argc=0 case to be possible. I need to read some more on this. As for your second find. It already got fixed: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=16117669

strlcpy always NUL terminates the string (that is it's big selling point). So it copies up to n-1 bytes from src to destination. If src was bigger then destination it is truncated and n-th byte is set to NUL.
