I remember many years ago I had a computer where, sometimes, programs crashed when trying to launch them. They segfaulted for no apparent reason. If I rebooted the computer, they may work. It usually happened with big programs like Firefox,

I guess you can get a .eu domain for ten years. So that could be an option to make sure you have enough time to shift to another domain should your country leave the EU too. Assuming, well, that the EU won't take it away from you befor

How do you handle updates? Do you download the new version from the official site from time to time and replace the old one? I know Firefox can "auto-update" itself but I guess it won't (or shouldn't) be allowed to modif

That's what I was afraid of about that PPA (and every PPA I ever used): you can never be sure who's behind a PPA, and who may push an update there :-)

I also use Ubuntu a lot, and while I'm disappointed about this Snap thing, I'm still not looking for alternatives. At least until 22.04 I could dodge snaps pretty easily, but now, since Firefox is now a snap package, things went w

I guess it's the same stuff developers from other countries like Iran, Syria, etc., face when trying to work with Github. It's a shame many OSS projects find providers like these OK when there should be plenty of alternatives that

I know, but not all of the alternatives noted by the parent post are hosted in Europe, either. Some are US based, and it doesn't mean your project can't be subject to censorship.

Gitee (gitee.com) is also a free hosting service that can be used for OSS, afaik.

Thanks! I've been doing some tests with the huponexit option but it seems the tricky part was this: when an interactive login shell exits I think I remember in Linux many years ago (more than 15, maybe) the behavior was present in sh

They can't? You mean Oracle can send you an invoice for using the VirtualBox GPL version your Linux distro provides for free? Never heard of that before, could you please share more details?

Just for curiosity: what was the purpose of "disown"? If I recall correctly, it was used so the shell you used to launch the process didn't kill it using a "hang" signal or something like that. But I made a quick te

So, that's the worst of both worlds, right? Servers are in the US but still have to be subject to Australian laws, and also, they are subject to the US law for being in that country.

The axis of evil is just the set of countries somebody wanted you to put the focus on. That's why you are so interested in North Korea while at the same time I bet -but I may be wrong- that you have no clue, nor interest, about what ha

I think the problem is that people that misses working from an office don't miss the office itself, but the rest of their co-workers. So for them to be happy, they need the employer to mandate everybody back into the office. Otherwise,

China will also call those dissidents terrorists, and some may even fill that definition. And we can end up agreeing: for example, last month, Sweden decided that the political refugees it has been hosting are now terrorists and should be e

I don't think they are at risk while they remain here in my country. It's very unlikely that the Chinese government decides on a strike against any dissident here. That's more typical of the US like they did yesterday in Afgh
