Memory errors and the sort of logic errors you described are one source of program errors, but I think the more devious ones are much higher level. There's a general taboo surrounding rolling your own crypto for a reason -- there are t

AFAIK every other linux distro shipping with or providing options for LibreSSL also switched around the same time frame, e.g. Gentoo dropped all support for it. It's just not feasible to build 3rd party software (that are targeting Ope

Some people can only stay a week. I went for a week several years back, and in that time drove up through the highlands, tent camping and inching my way all the way around the island. I ended with a day trip to Vestmannaeyjar before flying

Well, a 22 year old is far more likely to be approved for said debt than other kinds. I doubt unemployed and uneducated 22 year olds are generally approved to e.g. $100k home loans.

Yeah, surprised more people haven't mentioned this, this is very plan9-esque. Although as a side note for the viewers at home, because plan9 exposed all interfaces as files, the remote cpu server could use all resources on the client m

How do you draw the line between "user" and "exploiter"? Was there any point in the past Amazon wasn't an "exploiter"? What if a user becomes an exploiter? Can an exploiter become a user through repentance

I prefer natural white lights. I don't light rooms with them, but the light that terrarium/vivarium bulbs made to mimic sunlight give off is sublime IMO.

FreeBSD is comparatively more friendly to proprietary blobs, as it maintains a stable kernel ABI within major releases. [0] Even choosing to ignore any blobbed drivers, Linux will still have better software compatibility, and still generall

Based on the subtext of GP's comment, I'm guessing they're either offended by RedHat, Canonical, and/or Microsoft's various involvements, things like systemd or snapd, and think it taints the whole linux ecosystem.

I'll say I personally can't use numpads, and they're total wasted space for me, so I try to avoid them on my keyboards and laptops, especially because they put the keyboard off-center on said laptops. However, I think there a

In this case it seems like it has already been reset, or performed some kind of major OS update, which seems unlikely. In lieu of itunes or mac, you could also take it to an apple store I believe.

Yeah, trying to avoid buying things with any components or work, or even most of the components from China is basically impossible. Still, it is sometimes possible to find alternatives that put proportionally more work and production into p

Firefox has telemetry, it just doesn't gather data on this feature. It does gather: Interaction data includes information about your interactions with Firefox such as number of open tabs and windows, number of webpages visited, num

Characterizing early Firefox as only gaining traction because people had more warm fuzzy feelings for it seems off to me, although I wasn't around at the time personally. I started using Firefox in the late 2000s mostly because I switc

Just so we’re clear, unless I’m mistaken this overlay only affects the target software. It’s not allowing said extensions to trample the “root” file system. The altered fs only applies to a limited namespace.

Yes, without a doubt -- network software especially needs at least some maintenance to deal with security vulnerabilities. I'll say that not all software needs constant security supervision, but I think DHCP client/servers should.

You own the hardware, which means you have the ability to boot the system into diagnostic or repair modes for extended privileges. This doesn't mean that during normal operation there should be a superuser account with 100% access. Pla

In either case you can use your accumulating capital to accumulate more capital -- PoW just means consuming actual resources to do so, as you fold your earnings into more hardware and electricity to earn more.

Just FYI, you can make a functional system for way less than 7k. I pieces together my system for a little over 2k, and I could have gone cheaper for some of my parts. I probably spent around 1.3k on parts from Raptor themselves. (the pric

What makes this potentially complicated in the US is each state being a different jurisdiction. While states aren't really anything like "countries" in the European statehood sense of the word, they keep separate records by d

Sure, it's all on a sliding scale, but I think GP's point is the lines are blurring into insanity. At least a can of soup is a tangible object and is more "realizable" to our beings than some information stored on a data

Given that it supports ALSA, PulseAudio, and JACK, I don't think it's like that at all. Assuming it works, it subsists of both all the other standards and a new one, keeping existing applications working with its own new advantage
