Is this really an unsolved problem? If you need that functionality can't you do it with ps or pkill -U and an alias? This approach also allows you to send SIGTERM first. http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/136552/

The core is hopefully audited and so far except some XSS problems no remote exploits are know for the last few years? However having an usable remote exploit gives you a shell on more than 20% of the websites.

If they start annoying the developers they are lost. So they don't do stupid things there. But it looks like they never cared or plain stopped caring for the end users.

This is article is pure speculation. The linked source[1] does not make such a statement. Basically they put a graph on the right side without labels. This could be everything. E.g. inverse TDP 1: http://www.3dcenter.org/new

Nice! Here Apache 2.4 was faster. Now that Let's Encrypt supports ECC certs for a while you can use both to reap the benefits.

Stasi used people to bug on people as early as in high school - it was at least in my opinion much more nefarious than passive mass surveillance - at least it's different. I'm from the former GDR and they wreaked havoc over countl

False dichotomy - I think it should be similar to Kerckhoffs's principle in the long run. OSS yes, but it's signed and audited when it's able to run. Maybe like an open source version of microcode updates for CPUs. You could

They don't allow it but it tries hard to look like regular SSL then there is stuff like obfsproxy that helps to hide Tor furthermore.

TL;DR: Pay attention to arcane details or don't use containers for security related stuff. Also grsecurity. Honest question: Are illumos zones or FreeBSD jails better designed or is just nobody looking for kernel bugs there? From a usa

Is it me or is the press release really bad? This publication seems to talk about some fraud prevention system rather than cyber attacks. Maybe fraud with a computer is now a cyber attack? The paper[1] cites this as malicious behavior (8.2)

It's still buggy as hell. Ubuntu 15.10 or 14.04 has a lot more annoying quirks than Windows. Lot's of desktop tools are full of memory leaks and crash-prone. KDE is somewhat more stable but needs a usability overhaul. Let's b

If you use ZFS you only have snapshots for this. cp --reflink also has some gotchas on btrfs - if you do a balance it's not preserved and there are some odd problems with snaphots (I have no link at hand, take a look at the mailing lis

Let's see how this works out. It's probably better and more stable than btrfs but this is not complicated... ZFS on Linux had issues with ARC (especially fast reclaim) and some deadlocks and AFAIK cgroups are not really supported
