On LEDE, it seems that there is always an hardcoded DNS fallback to 8.8.8.8. I see it in my logs, even if none of my configuration files mentions it.

Never wanted a Mac. Google is too much invasive of my privacy. I simply like Firefox. Does this make me less technologically literate?

I always found an iterative refactoring of the old code a better engineering approach: small changes that do not modify the external behavior, but end up extracting a better design. Martin Fowler expressed it clearly in a 1999 book: "R

mercurial has "phases", which means that it allows free rebasibg and history rewriting for changes that are still not public. As soon as a tree is pushes, those changes become public, and you need to explicitly force the history r

If one's necessities are not limited to an ssh client, Cygwin has been available for years, is free software, and has a very good integration with Windows (you have read/write access to the whole filesystem, for example, something

The author also makes a point that autotools releases are really infrequent. Indeed, the latest release of libtool is 2.4.6, from February 2015 (more than two years ago).

Exactly! When I first read the passage about libtool I thought it was a joke, and the illusion of order got a cold reality shower: > the tests elaborately explore the functionality of the complex solution for a problem that should not ex

To me, this is one more reason to never use the default install of an operating system. In this specific case, if the debugging "leftovers" were part of the official drivers, then I would say there is a good indication towards pre

+1 to this. A lot of impedance mismatch between a hacker and a middle spectrum folk. Moreover, conservative companies will promote this middle spectrum people to management positions, reinforcing the tech-adverse culture.

I really wish Guix and NixOS had more usage in the industry. I am not sure if these are the projects that are going to drive the innovation, if they are only showing the way for the 2nd-generation functional package managers, or if this wil

I always longed for the existence of such an Ops-friendly DB, which - building on solid distributed systems concepts - could make easy and correct the hard things (consistency, geographical replication, effective possibility of zero downtim

For those wondering what's the difference between macvlan and ipvlan, the main ipvlan paper [0] summarizes its raison d'être: > This is especially problematic where the connected next-hop e.g. switch is expecting frames from a

Yes, git won. This does not mean that mercurial is not highly ergonomic, equally powerful, with a very ordered and dynamic codebase, and a sane community. Edit: and I keep wondering what the panorama would have been like if we had hghub ins

Am I totally misunderstanding something or there is no Dockerfile referenced? If so, is this just a binary blob I pull from a public registry? I have some trust concerns about basing my infrastructure on something opaque.

With Btrfs or ZFS the whole concept of incremental backup is reshuffled: basically you have consistent full backups, only occupying the space of a full backup + all the diffs, and you only transfer the changed blocks. It's really somet

It's obviously a question of power and antenna gains, but a very important role is played by the encoding: Pioneer before, and Voyager after introduced concatenated codes [0], which consist of a viterbi decoded convolutional code insid

Wild engineer's dream: where can I work on something of the same coolness level? High scientific content, total quality, no compromises whatsoever.

The publishing situation is so bleak, and the saddest part is that the higher the quality, the deeper the problems. Does anyone know how lwn [0] is doing? It's one of the latest very high profile publications remaining as of now. [0]

Does a set of timestamps have the same informative value of the geolocation history of a user? Would you affirm this in a formal risk assessment?

I am very grateful for this release from Mozilla, and more generally for the broad vision of their effort. As time passes, the quest for openness and freedom in software moves higher up in the stack. Thanks to the latest ~30 years of effort

It's interesting that, in my country, the ones that are retained are the PMs, because they are the "decision makers" and thhus the ones that really add value. Developers are perceived as mere technicians, who can be cheaply r

What about using cygwin instead of a Linux VM? I didn't have the time to try specifically this, bit normally you can reach really far with Cygwin. Plus, no need for root access, and the installation is natively "portable" (ev

Firefox 57 has introduced the possibility of dragging the URL bar text to scroll it. It's just a mitigation, but at least it's an ergonomic improvement.

Wonderful link, I have bookmarked it. Unfortunately, if you try to access it through HTTPS, you get an invalid certificate, and a permanent redirect to the HTTP version. This could be better, nowadays. $ curl --insecure --verbose https:
