How exactly is this a backdoor if it requires root access?

What the heck. 13-18 and 18-25. 25-35 and 35-45. 35-45 and 45-60. Those who are 18, 35, 45 or 60 years old cannot participate in this poll as the options are ambiguous.

I'm happy with void for 7 years now, and used to contribute. You're right, xbps is much easier than other package managers (looking at you, dpkg!). The templates are even a tiny bit simpler than the equivalents of Arch.

I recently tcpdump'd an Android 11 device going through the initial setup. About 60MiB was downloaded just to get to the launcher. It contacts not only Google, but the manufacturer and Microsoft, as well as a few domains I couldn'

I really love the fact that there's no framework, no composer, no autoloading, just plain PHP. That's how you get the job done!

I believe an open source editor should be built from source and I couldn't find links to sources or how to build from source on the website. The getting started documentation points to the download section. It would be cool if one of t

This is what I loved about Deus Ex, actions had consequences. Too bad it didn't catch on with later games.

On my previous project I used an anchor for the menu button, and the :target selector to make the menu visible. If JavaScript is loaded, it takes control. But without JS, it still works.

I'll just use zeal from now on and never update it. It was fine earlier today, but now it's awful. There was nothing wrong with the old design.

Has anyone else ran into cheap hosting providers where scp would work but sftp doesn't? I hope this change will make them reconsider their configuration.

FLOSS is only political in the sense that it's not. For example, given freedom 0, you may use the software at an abortion clinic. No matter what the author thinks of abortion. It's weird and arbitrary to ban Gab, but not TorServic

Thank you for recommending Fedora. However, I'm on Void for the past 7 years now (whew time flies!). I'm not planning on switching to any distro that has systemd. I suppose I could still use the live environment as a Linux bootstr

Just Fedora or any aarch64 distro? I thought aarch64 meant raspberries.

But do they run Linux? ThinkPads were always great for Linux and I've been happy with them ever since I can afford them (6 years now).

It was an autorun program which would offer a list of what's on the CD along with some images whenever one of the items was selected. I've found a good reference here: https://github.com/mity/old-new-win32api

Which have very sparse documentation, but do work just fine. Win32 covers a lot more than xlib, athena and motif. And still I have to resort to porting over bits and pieces from the FreeBSD C library because in a pure win32 project (no msvc

Too bad win32 is such a finicky and verbose API that's painful to use for anything beyond the simplest of dialogs. I tried. The MSDN documentation doesn't quite cut it. TheOldNewThing by Raymond Chen is a must-read to get it right

Edge is proprietary and thus completely unacceptable. MSFT has hundreds of billions of dollars, surely they can make a web application work with Firefox. Testing it only in edge is sheer arrogance. I begrudgingly use chromium whenever there

It doesn't just skip key presses, it actually invokes commands as I'm typing. Entire threads frequently get archived because of this. So annoying! Unfortunately, using another client requires a working application ID and whatnot i
