It's really unfortunate that the sanctioned way to call Linux syscalls directly is via the syscall() function (previously the _syscallN macros), and both of those methods set errno on error, which fails in a clone() thread. If only Gli

Yes, there actually is international law. It's not just for NATO, it applies to Russia and Belarus as well. But Russia is ignoring those laws. What Russia is doing is called "war of aggression": https://en.wikipe

Are you sure newsroomcdnakamai.azureedge.net is non-compliant? From client IPs within the EU, that domain resolves to EU-based hosting locations, so it's plausible that all of the PII protections and contracts are in place.

I've seen RS and LF used together to delineate records in log files. It's useful when there's a chance of power loss or program crash during logging and it's important to recover all the written records. With conventio

From reading your vadosware.io notes, I'm intrigued that replacing fdatasync with fsync is supposed to make a difference to durability at the device level. Both functions are supposed to issue a FLUSH to the underlying device, aft

It's actually very inefficient use of energy to use miners as electric heaters. Now that we care about energy efficiency and atmospheric pollution, hopefully more people will learn that efficient electric heating takes the form of a he

Privacy addresses don't hide what's on your network as much as NAT does, which is what the GP wants. For example with privacy addreses, monitors outside the network can easily see you have 5 devices on at the same time, 4 of which

I know someone who would love to use this for a game that doesn't run on their own devices, but it's US$ 40.60/month in the UK ("starting at £29.99"). That's too much just to play one game a few hours a week.
