There's also the Computer Sheds (Jim Austin's collection): https://www.computermuseum.org.uk/ . I should count how many I've used or at least been around...

There are PAM croup and namespace modules to limit resource use and isolation on Linux-based systems. Obviously they're using the same bases as containers.

Yes in the research computing world (HPC and similar systems, and some other sorts of shared resource) at least. On Linux-based machines you can limit resources otherwise, via PAM, or startup of interactive sessions in a distributed resour

The energy resolution of scintillation counters like those is rubbish, and spectroscopic results obtained with them can be misleading as a result. We initially used NaI just to surround high resolution Ge detectors to reject Compton scatte

Obligatory remark when this is referenced that it was specifically wrong about FORTRAN when written. As of FORTRAN77 you could index arrays as you like -- bounds of any integer -- potentially differently in different parts of the program.

You could buy FP3 new with /e/, though I installed it myself, currently on Android 12, last update June 15.

Shout out to the under-appreciated Arthur James who designed, as far as I know, the first recoil separator, for the Daresbury Nuclear Structure Facility.

Iterators are a fundamentally non-functional construct. Long ago Henry Baker wrote "Signs of Weakness in Object-Oriented Languages": https://plover.com/~mjd/misc/hbaker-archive/Iterator.html

You want tail call optimization, not just tail-recursion, i.e. mutually recursive functions.

You can build and publish repos for Debian (amongst others) on the OpenSUSE build system, though it's rather different from ppa and copr, for instance. Use osc(1) on Debian.

I think you're meant to make your own app, but I don't have permission anyway. Some applications have their own tenant id (?) and you can copy, e.g. davmail's from ~/.davmail.properties, or even copy the token you get f

I assume that's oauth2 (which xoauth2 implies). It works for me with O365 and a Duo key for multiple clients.

by gnufx 3y ago
2FA in what context? App passwords, XOAUTH2, Kerberos pre-auth...? OTP or FIDO? You should be able to work with them anyway.

If that means O365/Exchange with IMAP turned off, I don't remember about Thunderbird, but Evolution works, or see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36023845

If "cache" means .newsrc.eld, 10s of MB seems rather large. I wonder what the corruption was, since it doesn't sound like anything I can remember in ages using Gnus. .newsrc.eld does have backups in the same way as other fi

Regarding the statements that you need a Yubikey (for the FIDO part of passkey, given application support?) on GNU/Linux, at least Solo 2, Nitrokey 3, and Onlykey hardware keys have free firmware. I can't vouch for them, but mayb

I was going to add something on Duo before seeing that. If you have to use OTP with it, rather than FIDO, which I guess costs more, as my site doesn't support it, the hacks are fairly straightforward. On an Android phone, register a

That sounds horribly familiar! (Old, relatively non-fancy, Ford Focus; it limped along with the failure.) The explanation makes sense, which it didn't at the time, and the traction control button didn't help. The specialist gar

I assume that means Kerberos, as opposed to GSSAPI mechanisms like (the moribund?) ABFAB, (now rightly deprecated?) Globus GSI, or even NTLM. I've used Kerberos GSSAPI with ssh long ago, but no longer can at work. Incidentally, peopl
