I don't understand this, because KASLR has been default in FreeBSD since 13.2: [kmiles@peter ~]$ cat /etc/os-release NAME=FreeBSD VERSION="13.3-RELEASE-p4" VERSION_ID="13.3" ID=freebsd ANSI_COLOR="0;3

That's not what man in the middle attacks are about.. it's not about the encryption, it's about verifying that you really know who you're talking to.

I'm on my phone right now so I'm not going to dig too hard for this, but you can also configure a "merge tool" (or something like that) so you can use Meld or Kompare to make the process easier. This has helped me in a p

Like I said, I'm not a lawyer.. and I'm no longer a homeowner so I don't have an insurance policy. So I don't have a citation for you. I may be wrong about this, but I don't think that I am. If anyone who's in

IANAL but I don't think that's true at all. Electrical work needs to comply with code standards (NEC). I'll eat my hat if an insurance company pays for a fire that was caused by using homebrew electrical systems.

DIYers and enthusiasts should still worry about their house burning down because one of these boards started a fire. An insurance company would investigate and find any excuse they can to deny payment.

Yes it definitely can diverge while still staying open source. Happens in the Linux kernel for example whenever the ABI changes.

Perhaps, but it doesn't change the fact that this is bad behavior for the company sending the email. Since YCombinator funded this company it makes sense that YC would want to know about how they are conducting business.

Yes, I said in another comment that I might have used the wrong word. It's still not something I have a lot of motivation to do something about. At least not until the process is easy.

I mean, maybe paranoia is the wrong word.. it's not something that I'm personally worried about, but stuff like that has actually happened.
131.
by ktm5j 8mo ago
That still doesn't answer the question of why it's better. Unless you're paranoid about an OEM backdoor, I think this is cool but not worth the effort.

If this were a commercial project then I could understand the complaint.. but this is just a small, for-fun project and they have little motivation to put the extra effort into support for all browsers.

I feel like you're making a silly distinction. I mean, we ban cigarette use for minors because it's bad for them.. are you against that too? You're admitting that you think certain books are inappropriate for kids, but saying

Any chance you'd consider an android port?

Not a bad idea.

This is more like buying a loaf of bread from the store and saying you baked it yourself. They did nothing even close to making an OCR engine.

Seriously. Especially if you're someone who wants to cut ties with Google.

Oh you might be right about Ubuntu vs Debian.. but I'm right about everything else I said. I went and looked at the source code.

I used to dress down at work because that's how everyone else dressed and I just wanted to fit in. But at some point I stopped doing that because I was caring way too much about what other people were thinking. I dress nice because I l

I'm on my phone so I'm too lazy to dig for this, but I'm pretty sure they're talking about the bit of shell script that gets run if you type a command that isn't found in PATH. Fedora and Debian will both dive strai

Maybe you're not the type of person who's struggled with addiction, but it can do awful things to you. Yes, including being addicted to scrolling social media. It screws with your head to the point where you don't know how to

Yeah it's an easy way to check if a port is responding, and you can actually drive some protocols using telnet. Eg: `telnet some.http.addr 80` and then type in `GET /index.html HTTP/1.0` and hit enter twice. You can use it to

" Finished " being an important word. Seems like this Bazzite project is not finished and so post mortem is in fact a poor choice of words.

I love seeing stuff like this on HN, that's really cool.

Actually, thanks to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 that's not exactly true anymore. You can be detained and deported without first seeing a judge.

What's the reality of that happening though? I feel like they have bigger fish to fry than going after people for buying one screwdriver bit.

Looks like Adafruit took down the page about 3D printing a working driver bit. Wonder who made that happen :/

Linux is just a kernel, that does not ship with any sort of init system.. so I don't see how anything is being deprecated by Linux. The LFS project is free to make any decisions that they want about what packages they're going to
