Huh. You know I had never considered why we have htobe32 and be32toh which do exactly the same thing. Maybe because of oddball architectures which are neither big nor little endian? For instance... /usr/include/x86_64-linux-g

Very interesting. That certainly sounds like PreserveJobFiles was set to 'yes' or a stupidly high number. And it sounds like, as you say, a subsequent OS update changed it to a sensible setting. FYI the default value is 24 hours s

Hmm. How often do people actaully want to std::byteswap as opposed to "convert this value from native byte order to big-endian" or "convert this value from little-endian to native byte order"? i.e., the functions documen

[Taking this far too seriously] What makes you think THE ALGORITHM will choose to show such "harmful" [to TikTok's engagement figures] content?

According to cupsd.conf(5), the default setting for PreserveJobFiles is 86400, so printed documents are only preserved for 24 hours. Paranoid users can set this to "no" to cause them to be removed immediately after printing. I&#x2

> Why does macOS behave this way? I would guess it's because PreserveJobHistory in cupsd.conf defaults to 500.

by yrro 4y ago
These would be metadata about completed print jobs. The PreserveJobHistory* options in cupsd.conf[0] control retention of this information; the default value is 500, so most users who print occasionally will likely have entries going back a

--pid-owner was removed from Linux some time in the 2.4 days IIRC. That's a really outdated version of the man page. The current one is: https://ipset.netfilter.org/iptables-extensions.man.html Probably the closest thi

Huh. The original HTTP (later renamed HTTP/0.9 in order to differentiate it from HTTP/1.0) is really quite similar: it appears to basically be gopher with an additional method (always GET) prepended to the document reference; no r

Can't edit kernel parameters from the firmware's own boot selector though can you. Or see it on an external monitor (at least on the laptop I'm using right now, which normally lives hidden out of sight attached to a dock). My

Many of us have been burned by making the assumption that UEFI implementations behave sensibly. Most of the pain points have been ironed out by now, yes, but the lesson I've taken away is: don't assume.

OTOH it's nice to have access to the boot loader via serial console. The system developers judgement is that it's up to the firmware to provide serial console access if needed. Well I'll just get my chequebook out then... Als

I think you can install "ansible" from EPEL and get what used to be "ansible" in EL. Which will pull in "ansible-core" from EL.

Doing so without being advised to by the PM would trigger a major constitutional crisis.

I'd like to know if other constitutional norms have been restored as well (e.g., are supply bills & major manifesto bills automatically considered confidence votes?)

Can a Windows expert chime in here. Why is the NT hash even calculated any more? Is it still the default? Can group policy be configured to tell everything to not used to disable NTLM everywhere? And can't AD be configured to disable R

I wish v4l2loopback was included in the kernel. I've wasted far too much time messing about with DKMS in the past that I now avoid any out-of-tree modules if I can avoid it. And with Secure Boot they become untenable. To be fair there

AIUI the law doesn't focus on cookies alone but on tracking. Tracking must be disclosed and the user must be able to opt-out. This includes server-side tracking such as log analysis.
