This is pretty cool. Don't let the naysayers stop you. Taking a stab at beating Google at their core product is bravery in my book. The best of luck to you!

Sounds like a luxury problem to me. You have an iPhone and a credit card, probably also a mobile data plan to make it work. I guess taxing the rich is a pretty good way to get superrich.

I'd rather have 2 minimal (headless, no network, etc) virtual machines. One runs pandoc for the conversion and the other runs ghostscript on the result. Nowadays you can let a web browser run pretty much anything so you don't need

Thanks. That's quite a dictionary there and I'm not familiar with that particular universe so the reference was lost on me. It's quite a tough read for me with such an alien vocabulary. Anyway, good to know it's not mean

Some 20 years ago they had patches for a buffer overflow vulnerability. The first patch made the buffer one byte longer. The next round of patches addressed a supposedly new vulnerability and the same buffer got another byte longer...

Your last paragraph reminded me of HTML5 and the WHATWG which led to official W3C adoption. Back when that started W3C was still strongly embedded in the XML hellhole.

They created artificial scarcity and used time pressure to persuade children into spending their parents money. The fine can't be big enough imho. This is an evil dark-patterned business practise.

Is overengineering the norm nowadays? If you need a queue, lpd. If you need scheduling, cron. If you need backups, tar. If you need to communicate, email and irc. If you need to remote any of those, ssh. Things shouldn't be difficult,

Yes, that would be nice but when I look at their Grub src.rpm for instance, some of those patches would look original but came from Debian. Back in the day when the boxes were on display in brick-and-mortar stores, SuSE was a great way to g

This is only ever relevant for proprietary software. Free software does not require a stable ABI. Great that wine exists but it should be useless. (That and Linux doesn't implement win32 and wine doesn't exclusively run on Linux.)

That and there's no HTML way to interactively load results. Or are you really going to serialize half a million records to HTML and transfer it all every time the relevant block is added to a page? What if it sits in the header or foot

I suspect this could be more a case of an open ticket about apparent redirect link spam getting fixed by a junior who thought this solution was simple and clever. The junior was even smart enough to write the fix as a nightly cron job, avoi

Yes! And always put the network first. Some kind of "network object model environment" is needed where servives can be somewhere on your network. It just needs a catchy name.

Oh, I see. You're piecing together the layers much like a cake. The way I see it, everything is tied together as some kind of flow chart where different elements have different jobs. Linux is quite a small part of the system when compa

Those are just drivers to stuff that runs its own cpu and interfaces over some kind of serial port. Printers are a well known example of this. Also intel wireless nics with their firmware blobs. Not are drivers are like that. For instance,

Yeah no. An operating system kernel doesn't just act as a host for userland processes, it interacts with hardware. Hardware behaves in weird and unexpected ways, can be quite hard to debug, can fail, etc. This is why Linux is excellent

Linux includes a cpio utility and documentation for building your own initramfs.

Traditionally, init=/etc/rc And have that be a shell script which starts whatever you need. You'll probably want fsck in there, mount -a, some syslogd, perhaps dbus, some dhcp client, whatever else you need, and fina

This. Only CPU microcode can't be loaded without an initramfs unless you enable late loading, but that's labeled dangerous because it may cause instability. If needed, you could let the built-in motherboard uefi do the microcode u
