As an ops person, I can tell you that I would probably upgrade my paid github account instead of cancel it if a project was thrown out that had the audacity to issue the statement that they don't care about the infrastructure they use

Day-fines calculations here in Germany are calculated from monthly income after tax, with some fixed basic-living deductions. I do not think there is anything more you can deduct from it - but it is clearly intended for persons not corporat

I'd contend that it was "made" at all. When I first looked at the relevant section of the policy manual, my takeaway was that they had a script that iteratively removed the leading and trailing optional fields, making use of

I do not think it is a benefit to everybody. In fact, I think it will tarnish ZFS as a technology. ZOL still has some very clunky usability integrations (zpool status vs spare, sudo requirements, device name instabilities etc). I'm run

Which is the core of the argument. ZFS is simply not aimed at being included in the kernel at some point. Linux user's just wish it were so.

Not theoretically, since it has been done. It is called LifePreserver and originated with PC-BSD years ago; thus available on FreeBSD an FreeNAS as well. I will have a good laugh if Ubuntu is porting it over as a "headline feature&quot

Sadly, even the basic synchronous mirroring with automatic failover that MSSQL offers is ahead of anything pgsql can offer at the current time.

I once argued that it `could not be so hard to write a regexp that validates Debian package versions`. Ohboy. Let's just say that in the end it became a point of pride to come up with something. Debian package version numbers have lead

So, because it supports more than one KBI it is a derived work, whereas if it had one static KBI to only work on one specific version it would not be derived?

If both licenses only had no-further-restrictions clauses, they would be perfectly fine. The issue is the imposing of further restrictions, which only the GPL has in this case. And if no-further-restrictions clauses are evil and have to go,

Only by a linear factor. Current OpenZFS is no longer the Sun released ZFSv28 code of old. Oracle does not have the copyright for these important, non-trivial parts. If the point of the SFC is that those 10 years of non-Oracle/SUN deve

When Snowden's NSA leak had just started, there was a podium discussion about it on German TV. Well, a few, but in one specifically one of the guests was a lesser german TV celebrity, known for science shows if I remember correct. If I

Ally is a strong word. Allies would have honored their agreements and removed their occupation force.

There is also the variable-expansion abort, even with optional custom error message: "${VAR:?Error message goes here}" Will exit2 if VAR is unset or the empty string. Or, which I often use, build the path you want to dele

EVE wasn't early release stage at that point. But: EVE at the time had a startup configuration file `boot.ini` inside the game folder. They tried to delete a game file, but if the game was not installed on C:\, a couple of path variabl

I fondly remember at university, the secretary of one of the CS departments wrote all the snail-mail in vim, formatted in TeX. Then mailed it to the print-server.

> JunOS (historically) is based on BSD. They're moving to Linux now. Do you have details on this? Given how active they are in the FreeBSD community, I would have thought to have heard about that already.

For the at-work keys, I differentiate between work/workstation and work/laptop. Full disk encryption and the bcrypt based ssh private key format hopefully buy me enough time to revoke the laptop keys and have a KRL update pushed t

You also need to set IdentitiesOnly yes if I remember the config setting correct. Note however that this only limits the offered keys during the authentication phase. If you use AgentForwarding, this still has the entire keyring av

When FreeBSD 9 was released, and the development tree thus became FreeBSD 10, a lot of applications broke. GNU autotools considered a FreeBSD version number starting with 1 as FreeBSD 1. Historical note: FreeBSD1 was rebased after the AT&am
