Some additional things may work if you go to developer options from the android auto hamburger menu and enable "unknown sources". This is especially relevant if you install things from f-droid.

Does a corresponding client program exist so that one might, e.g. tunnel some arbitrary protocol over a websocket connection.

If my boss told me to go write a Linux device driver in C++, I'd quietly go away and deliver a working device driver that happens to stick to the C subset of C++. Trying to fiddle about getting header files to include cleanly is a comp

I've not tried for a while but just getting that to even compile was a nightmare. It seemed to be a fork of the Python 2 code base. They've done the right thing by having a POSIX compatible layer but I completely disagree with the

The reason is to preserve compatibility for everyone's configuration that they carefully built up over decades. It's quite hard to change things to enable some new thing without annoying many users. The last time that was tried wa

If you're going to pay $10 a month, you might as well pay for a VPS instead and connect up to it with wireguard, nebula or tailscale. Especially if paying means dynamic IPv4 that isn't behind CGNAT rather than an actual static IP

It's not always possible to get certificates from Let's Encrypt for local network only services. In a big corporate environment jumping through the hoops necessary to deploy keys or get things into a DMZ can be near impossible. Ev

I'll be taking particular note of this rescue system on the basis of the identity of the person who has created it. They're someone I've come across more than once in the open source world and definitely have respect for. I&#

For this use case, the Nebula mesh VPN has the advantage of being rather more fully open source. I use wireguard to provide access to my home network from outside. For that, nebula would have the advantage of being a single subnet and handl

I've not come across FS_IOC_GETVERSION before. Should the many user-mode applications that rely on st_dev, st_ino being enough to identify an inode also be calling this ioctl? Or is it something you only need to worry about in limited

I enabled `pam_namespace` for per-user `/tmp` and `/var/tmp` on the systems I administer with those filesystems being tmpfs and xfs respectively. We get odd problems weekly where one or other user can't write to `/t

Yes, me too. I've used void linux quite a bit which does use some BSD components like mandoc but is still gcc and GNU coreutils. I can understand the logic of using the packaging system from Alpine. I rather like pkg on FreeBSD, it fee

Depends what you enjoy. If you want to be a manager then yes. But if you prefer to stay technical, a small company often has a much nicer atmosphere and less bureaucratic rubbish.

The GPL already includes a clause stating "or any later version" so GNU software can happily update the GPL version. Linux specifically has an exception to this. It is the dodgiest part of the whole GPL in my opinion and gives the

Not quite. Used to be that any normal ISP provided a news server. Now with it being so heavily used for distributing dodgy binary files, finding a freely available and usable server is not trivial.

Excuse my complete ignorance but how does measuring the temperature of food help you with cooking? When I do a BBQ, I've only ever judged by colour and appearance. Usually the challenge is not to burn the outside while the inside is un

I'm always shocked at how high these US salaries quoted on here are. I don't know if that's just FAANG companies or people inflating figures. They do quote $11k for a full-time position as others have pointed out. What I make

You can also do this with bashdb which is possibly also a more robust solution.

I'm surprised there's no trademark issues with the name. I worked for Logica, the company for many years. At some point later on they got bought by CGI but you'd have thought they still held the rights to the name. CGI is a s

Richard I of England and Philip II of France were very likely homosexual but still got married off in the hopes of creating an heir. Maybe a suitably bribed pope in the middle ages would have found a way to get a gay marriage passed. That i

Scrollbars are terrible UI. You have to drag them in the opposite direction to the way the way you want things to move. How far you need to drag the bar to move a certain distance is dependent on the length of the whole document. In general

In this case, you need to be American to make sense of this. And possibly you need to have been to a US university. Took me years of seeing people put a confusing number 101 on the end of guides on blogs or whatever before I realised that m
