Alright, useful to consider. Thanks.

Are you sure that the agencies you speak of are not able to do this anyway? Even the Hong Kong Post Office has a place among the trusted CA's supplied by most vendors: not really necessary for everyone on the planet, I'd think. If

Gravatar is too ubiquitous for me now that Wordpress owns it. Plus the Wordpress account requirement is really annoying. So I hope your project will become an alternative on many sites, OP!

Here I would suggest that we use a thrusters to fix (yes, fix) Earth's rotational speed. Heck, let's slow it down when we're at it, I could use more hours in a day!

Valid point imho. Sad to see your comment turned to grey within as little as 8 minutes after you posted it.

isc.org also has the DLV registry... should users be worried?

A lot of interesting articles coming up? Sounds good to me!

Hey, I didn't say you should stop typing in QWERTY! Wink. My point is that people who want to learn it won't replace their QWERTY skills -- They'll just learn another one. A brand new superpower.

Heh, yeah, that's a silly argument. But in that case I'm very glad for him that linux doesn't have a command called "hypolimnion"! Just type it in to see what I mean. (Heh. I just realised that I never even bothered

Ah, gotcha. Ok, in that case, I'll admit - when I was busy learning it, I felt hopeless quite often! It was not until I got visuals in my mind (see my post on that, linked in my previous comment) that my curiosity was piqued. Being laz

Ha - Coolermaster brought out a CM Storm with Cherry MX Green keys. They're like blue, but the springs are thicker, requiring more force. I found it on Amazon. I'm crazy about that keyboard, love it very much. Usually I switch bet

You don't forget the old layout when you learn a new one. This has been widely misunderstood. In fact, it's more like learning yourself to write with your other hand. Say, you try this with your left hand -- you don't forget

First thing I do on a linux machine: setxkbmap -layout us -variant dvorak -option ctrl:swapcaps,compose:rctrl (You can leave -variant dvorak out; the -option stuff will still work.) The compose key, used to compose all kinds of characters f

Have you ever tried an alternative layout, like Dvorak? I wrote about Dvorak a while ago on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8705543 Calling it hopeless, well, our opinions differ, that's for sure!

The ntpd daemon does not run as root. So, how is it able to change the time of the system? Does it use setuid, or caps, or something else? I wonder because this would also affect what arbitrary code could be run as the ntp user.

This goes directly to the PDF. It seems to be a useful research paper for people who want to get academic insights into setuid. For those who would like to read the first part of the introduction, here it is: "Access control in Unix sy

Yeah. It's like learning how to ride a bike - the first few times you've practiced, you consciously have to think of all the different details. Putting your foot on the pedal, keeping the steering wheel straight, pushing your foot

by voidz 12y ago
As someone who has used the Dvorak layout for over 15 years, and loves it, it's my impression that the biggest reason people don't learn it, is because they don't know what they are missing. But dvorak is so much nicer, it wa

I am not sure if '(Free) BSD Jails' should be in here, because it's not a Linux container, it's something else entirely. Especially when you look at the details. But having said that, this article does read as a nice ove

Thank you for making my point. English is not my first language, but this is exactly what I meant, and your examples are spot on, too. One other thing that is annoying is networking. IPv6 is once again being ignored, and for the rest they o

So essentially this means nothing.

But you are not addressing what I am saying at all. I am saying that this is convenient for developers, but for us sysadmins, who have to implement Docker apps in already existent systems, it is just not all that convenient, so now we have

Well what they say is "if it costs less we will put the rest into our product"...

The only argument I tried to make, admittedly poorly, is that I notice a contrast between how good they say they are for open source, and actual behaviour from the developers. I did not say or intend to say "good for them, I hope GNOME

Docker is written by developers of which there are too many. But it sucks to many of us who are sysadmins. Docker's networking isn't all that, and the storage is basically just nifty because of already-existent tech like AFS and B

Ehm.. so.. GNOME wants our help now. But how did they behave when GNOME 3 was announced to not work without systemd? Or hey, anyone remember that discussion on a GNOME developers' mailing list, where they planned to take out theming su

In general, it seems to me like the developers are way more excited about everything Docker than sysadmins, who actually have to implement these components into already existent systems!
