This is quite interesting. Is there anything preventing the collection of the number of cycles spent in an arbitrary function? It seems this is just a matter of identifying all branches.

fork() is also used to daemonize and for privilege separation, two tasks where posix_spawn() cannot be used. I suppose daemonization can be seen as something of the past, but privilege separation is not. On Linux, privileges are attached to

As a Debian Developer, I often point people to Fedora to show you can be a community distribution very similar to Debian and still be modern in your practice. Your post is insightful.

A mono repo is not needed. Some teams are able to push changes to all the packages of the team without it and without much effort (for example, the Debian Python Modules Team does that quite often). It's more a social problem: all pack

For node:10-jessie, this is: https://hub.docker.com/_/node/scans/library/node/10-jessie . This seems credible.

Currently, "node:10" is based on Stretch. The image is not totally up-to-date. Despite what the article says, Debian Jessie is still maintained, part of Debian LTS effort. After pulling "node:10-jessie", "apt update

Small nitpick, LD_PRELOAD will override the write() function from the libc, which is a wrapper around the system call, not the write system call itself.

Compared to solutions intercepting HDMI output, such solutions have the advantage to only use the original video as input, without the subtitles or the user interface.

Also, an extension would need to be able to read the content of all sites to work. For such a simple task, it seems overkill.

This is considered insecure. Firefox devs think that prompting the user for permission does not inform the user enough about the risk. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674718 .

I can offer my partial explanation why this happens. When a site wants to stylize the underline using a background property, it cannot change this property for :visited. This includes sites trying to have a different color for the underline

This is similar but not totally. Linux has an open source version of Maglev as a scheduler for LVS since 4.18 (to be released). GLB uses a specific consistent hashing algorithm selecting two servers and a module to let the first server redi

CARP and the likes rely on the presence of an L2 layer which means you get limited scale or increased risk of a global outage. An L3 design scales very well and is resilient (notably because of the distributed control plane and the inabilit

The GPG signature covers the hash which depends of the previous commits. Therefore, a signature covers the whole history.

Debian is using Firefox ESR as a compromise to stability since it is not possible to keep older versions while fixing security bugs. Rust is an issue also for Firefox ESR too (when upgrading from 52 to 60).

The "-nn" explanation seems wrong. Neither libpcap's tcpdump nor BSD's need more than one "-n" to not translate port. Even in their examples, we can spot that using a single "-n" do not translate port
