It just compares expected checksum from rpm database with actual state in the system. That said, rpm supports package signing, so that it can catch a package which was tampered with and prevent it's installation.

While this won't solve all problems with practical software freedom, it's still an important step into right direction, which will definitely help the free software ecosystem. You can still buy phones with bootloader which can be

Even if you found a single snapshot of allegedly AIX or HPUX source code of unknown origin, you would have a problem with referencing to it so that your claim can be both trusted and verified. Moreover it would still be nowhere near the lev

To clarify: I suggested to store url in the password manager so that when I want to login somewhere, I go the the manager, locate the account, copy paste url stored there into url bar of the browser in a new tab, and then do the same with a

Good mitigation of that would be for a password manager to store an url along with password.

Mostly for off-line usage. Especially for videos where I care about audio only, I can download the audio part and then save it to my phone so that I can listen to it later without a need to have network connection. Another use case is archi

Yes, but it's not a good practice to specify full git url in setup.py, where I would expect to have sheer module name and version constraints if necessary. There is a convention about overriding requirements from setup.py via requireme

You are right about quantum mechanics and general relativity, which requires more advanced math, and it's hard to create good and useful analogies without it. That said, if you can handle basic high school math, you don't need any

The problem is that someone has a full control over that device in the end (to keep this argument simple, let's ignore how apple or google fits into this picture). And you and a company you are working for may not agree on who that adm

Could you reference a bug url? I tried to find it via tracker.ceph.com but failed to do so (I don't claim that the problem doesn't exist). That said referencing a bug url would be nice if you want to increase credibility of your

On the one hand I understand that conveying this as an average temperature difference makes the value more understandable, but it also makes some people miss the point that this is mostly about heat capture. And that this energy increase in

Assuming the orbit is and remains stable, the best way to preserve it would be to keep it where it is now. But I'm not sure we can assume that the orbit remains stable in the long term, even if we confirm via observation that the orbit
