Web apps can't work without at least one native app. If that native app can be installed, maintained and secured, so can the others. The real reason is HTML/JS/CSS is universal platform to code against, unlike myriad of OS-sp

Citizens United vs FEC is a Supreme Court decision, it will take another Supreme Court decision to revert it. Interfering in elections is done probably more so for influencing foreign policy, it does not guarantee any effect on Supreme Cour

Thanks for the effort, but this is not very convincing. Is there any documented case where physical blocks have size that in bytes is not some power of 2? I suspect if that exists, it is quite a rare device. Blocks of size 512B, 4K, 8K are

Yeah it's insane how shit gets funded and obvious non-brainers do not. However, working on something that matters, despite the pay-cut, brings its own rewards. But it is not easy to find such work.

This paper claims quantum computer can integrate arbitrary non-linear differential equations with quantum advantage: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.06571.pdf It does seems too good to be true.

This paper has a very interesting claim, that they can integrate arbitrary non-linear differential equations on quantum computer, with advantage. If their analysis is correct, this makes the case for weather prediction on quantum computers

This sort of fail isn't new to sudo, migrate to doas if you can - a much simpler(immensely) and less error-prone program.

OK now I get what you mean. In that case, one can reboot and select the other non-broken disk and the system will boot, with some hiccups due to degraded array, but it will boot.

It's a P.R. effort to prepare the "community" for more bad and harmful solutions from Mr. Poettering and his employer Microsoft. It does not solve any real problem users have.

Indeed. UEFI brings "solutions" to problems we don't have, but corporations would like those solutions for some reason.

Didn't you read the article, we're supposed to use vfat only and prepare for firmware checking our disks and revoking our boot rights on keyring and denylist updates.(LOL)

It does not always have to, especially if your rootfs is simple. But if your rootfs is on LVM on MDRAID... then it's best to have separate simple boot fs.

Speaking from my heart. There is a reason we have convoluted big software like GRUB - to have a single familiar software solution supporting wide range of broken hardware/firmware. Fixing all the firmware is theoretically correct and w

Also some dumb firmware may write to such disks, Asrock boards were reported in past to do that. Efi+boot partitions usually take less than 2G of space, and can be made like 200MBs total, while mainstream disk capacity is hundreds of GBs no

It's amazing what lengths people go to to justify their convictions and not realize the silliness. You've just described a convoluted setup with many drives and computers on network and claim there is no more work. That is more

One good reason is that mdraid takes care of syncing automatically, no need to set up rsync on every update of /boot.
