Homing in on sources of electromagnetic transmissions has been a thing since at least the BV246 in 1943. The first phased array systems date back to 1905. We have had some time to productionize this. Hell, the "PA" in "PATRIO

I'd say yes we are ready. gettimeofday() should never be used to measure time[1], but at least with a negative leap second it's monotonic. We'll just get some poorly coded stuff claim that an operation took 1100ms instead of

Personally, I hate split horizon DNS. I prefer the "BeyondCorp" model. I MUCH prefer putting an mTLS cert in my trusted devices over relying on VPNs in same devices. I've yet to see a "clever" DNS setup not cause an

I got reminded every week that my static site generator "Jekyll" is insecure. Ok. Hacking me by changing the input to my Jekyll rather involves being on the other side of the airtight hatch.

Hate to break it to you, but anything can legally be taken away from you by the justice system. And fighting the government can put you in prison, too. It's just LARPing.

Yes, my understanding is that I should be able to emulate sendfile via splice. The problem with that is that splice requires one end to be a pipe. So I think this means two extra file descriptors per connection (one per side of the pipe). A

I've not yet tested the shared buffers for my io uring based web server, but that's because instead of reading from a file and writing, i send directly from a mmaped region. But really, I want to sendfile with io_uring, but that&#

It's great! But even though the title of this HN post is wrong, everything else is titled/domained to say that it's about GUIs. TUIs are great! You can run them on a server, inside a tmux/screen, they don't require

So maybe it'll stop taking three requests, 1-2 months, and a certified letter every year to receive your tax refund? HMRCs digital services in general are pretty good, but refunds not so much.

I agree that's a good list. You did a better job than the article. As for pulse audio: no, it has absolutely nothing to do with that. That's just being condescending and smug. I've never had a lithium battery fire, so that mu

Are you making the assumption that it's impossible to add that feature to cron? You should not see a missing killer feature and go directly to the conclusion of rewriting. Sure, greenfield is fun. So there's that.

But how is that different with systemd timers? Two environments that set the PATH differently won't have the same value set, either way. Is this about "yes, but cron doesn't let me trigger through its environment, and systemd
