That quote is quite ironic to tell the truth. Peñalosa created a public transport system that's overcrowded and unsafe. Nobody wants to use it, but many have no other choice but to use it.

If you're looking for an actively developed Maemo rebased on top of modern Debian, you might be interested in Maemo Leste. [1] It's actually rebased on top of Devuan Beowulf rather the Debian (Buster), but they are open to having

Assembling something to run under an emulator is not really the same thing. The post then says: > You can also assemble it into the 11 rom files that would have been loaded onto the arcade cabinet’s ROM board. If I wanted to run this on

I don't think it matters whether they fix it or not. Evidence help with establishing the severity, but in most countries this sort of thing would be classed as defamation of character. This guy should be entitled to something and oug

Thanks for the reply. That surprises me but I'm glad to hear that x86 support is strong. It does lead me to wonder, what sort of things are people using Illumos for? Maybe it's time I checked it out. :)

> Namespaces don't come close to FreeBSD jails or Solaris / Illumos Zones. There is a reason Docker hosters put their Docker tenants in different hardware VM's. Because the isolation is too weak. This is largely a myth, pl

With Linux having caught up with key Solaris features in recent years (DTrace -> eBPF, Zones -> Namespaces, ZFS -> ZFS on Linux), I always thought that the main reason to use Illumos would be first-class SPARC support. With that n

It doesn't seem like they took this security incident very seriously. It's a pretty serious bug that was reported by two different users within a few hours. It could have been abused by others, but it doesn't look like it o

It's not so hard, the author is just using the wrong OS. VMS saves new files versions for every disk write and now that it runs on x86 [1], there is little excuse to not use it. :D [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item

A very well written comparison of XMPP and Signal, but one thing that the author seems to overlook is the significance of Signal using phone numbers as user IDs. This is what users have come to expect and what makes Signal a drop-in replac

Strenuous? Not in the slightest. The ISA and the original chip design is from Arm and is licensed to Apple. There would be no M1 without Cambridge.

>Also, they should insist to change "Made in China, designed in California" into "Made in China, High-tech from Taiwan, rest of the design from California". Cambridge, England (Arm) should also be in this mix.

Not really surprising that they are recommending SHA-1. It's well known that the UK is a nanny state that hates encryption.
