And if you do that everytime an unmaintained project gets a 10 severity CVE, we'll have that at 200 lines in no time. Proabably petition whatever generates your Pom.xml to auto-include those lines.

But again, that means EVERY single product, open source or not, will have to patch their deployment to use the fork instead of simply using the updated version of upstream. Permanently no less if it's unmaintained. Meaning every sing

Hot patching a jar is not a scalable solution in the long term, especially if you're considering that in a larger project there may be multiple unmaintained projects that now need permanent hotpatching.

Until all hundreds of thousands of projects have changed that, it'll take time. That doesn't mention the fact you now also have to fork unmaintained projects relying on log4j to use the new version. If you're developing a maj

by zaarn 5y ago
Except you can't because hundreds of thousands of project have "log4j" in their dependency list not "wyldfire-fixed-log4j". If log4j broke and there was no maintainer, a fork would not fix things.

Plenty of companies aren't hindered by the Linux license as they are not required to give you the source most of the time, they just point you to their SoC vendor. Or worse, they just don't use Linux and use BSD or Windows Embedde

Well for SSH you can simply edit the authenticated_keys file to get what you want.

Alright, instead, knowing this, I shall simply change the configuration of your terminal emulator to use a wrapper script I wrote. It'll inject a script into the shell to alias sudo to my evil variant. The evil variant will instead of

On Linux only for non-Filesystem backends (Ceph, Gluster, etc.) The only fork of Ganesha that supports it on a proper filesystem is the TrueNAS fork and that only on their ZFS Fork that brings NFSv4 ACLs to Linux. So really, no. You can&#x2

I believe the Apollo Guidance Computer used a hardwired lower segment that always points to Bank 0 and one for Bank 1. Then a few freely changeable segments. I also recall some systems where it works just as described, but you had to be inc

Solaris is built on some idiosyncrasies (Speaking as someone who, as a Linux person, has to sysadmin Solaris systems). For example, on our Solaris machines, after install, "reboot" does not do a clean reboot, it's a hard rese

You could maybe try implementing bank switching to handle more memory. This does make code more complex but it should be possible to use boilerplate to access arbitrary memory. IIRC from when I toyed with making CPUs, a bank switch is imple

A human can fly on their own lift provided you accelerate the human fast enough (bricks fly too after all). Not very comfortable though.

I'd love to see people doing their taxes on their console, since by that argument it would be more streamlined.

zstd-fast is almost as fast as LZ4 and gets a tiny bit better compression, though not a lot of software supports that mode. ZFS does, hence I have some numbers to back that up.

Not all things are quite possible on a phone or as comfortable as you could do them on a PC (I couldn't imagine coding on a phone).

You don't need a 3060, you can simply get a GPU from a few generations back. You can get a Vega 56 for about 300€ which will play most games in high quality settings without any issues. Same for all other components, it's no longe

I didn't say you'd have to buy a workplace PC with gaming capabilities, there is plenty of opportunities for a PC to be productive outside work and gaming (such as commenting on HN).

You can definitely get a GPU for affordable prices if you're willing to wait. The insane prices apply if you want a GPU now . Also keep in mind that consoles are subject to the very same price increase, it's nearly impossible to

How many free Console games are there? Much less than PC. It's entirely fair as there is more possibility of free PC games, or them being of negligible cost since you pay lower platform fees. This is in addition to the opportunity cost

A half decent PC is in the 800€ to 1000€ range. If you're willing to take some graphical downgrades you can do it for 600-800€ too. How many games can you buy for 500€ max? About 10 or so. Maybe.

The simple solution could be that POSIX defines that if the output has a leading slash, it references a path where the command inputted can be found. Any other output is informational in nature only and has no standard texts.

What makes lightning strikes so powerful is less the total energy and more the short timeframe it's delivered in.

A lightning may contain between 200 and 2000 kWh of energy. There isn't any capacitor or inductor bank that large that could contain this amount of energy that fast. The additional trouble would then be making this energy useful, as ca

There is proprietary "source available" software that I can compile locally but not distribute the result either. The GPLv2/3 disaster is not an improvement.

You can try multiple variations at the same time. A research team could test roughly 200 variants per week to get this number and be able to test each variant for the entire week.
