    Check_mk is not a nagios/icinga fork, it's an addon that works with them. It's a host agent (like NRPE) that bundles all the local checks in a single run and submits them on Nagios…

    Yeah, byobu is pretty much an opinionated tmux/screen (you can choose a backend).

    Unless you automatically restart every service that is linked with a library when you update it, you are still vulnerable.

    Yes let's cripple the web by continuing to use unencrypted http, just because computers from 15 years ago won't be able to properly display some webpages...

    There is nothing to patch on the server side. You need to ensure the ssh client is updated on the machines you are sshing from.

    This[1] is on the very top of the fronpage right now. TrendMicro has a daemon listening on localhost that can execute arbitary commands. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10…

    We use twisted-vncauthproxy[1] to open a noVNC console from the UI to speak with the VNC port that each KVM is running on. Before that we used a Java applet with a similar vnc prox…

    I don't understand you reasoning at all. What could be the problem with using a chat software that is released under AGPL?

    This is not about bloat. Mozilla was already developing read-it-later functionality for Firefox. In fact it's already on mobile versions. Hello and Pocket have almost no overhead b…

    I think they already do. You begin the download and after it has downloaded some portion of the game you can launch it and the stream the rest.

    I think most of that was because of Oracle buying Sun. The MariaDB for and Postgres's rising popularity are the outcomes of that.

    Yup, cause apparenlty staying the same for 25 years is the new normal. Would you discard more too if it added the ability to page back in a document?

    There is a kernel-lts packages that doesn't update as often, so you won't need to recompile every time.

    But Nginx is not running the PHP code, whatever the application daemon on the background does. Nginx simply proxies to it. Apache can get similar performance if you offload PHP and…

    Nop. 2.0.5 here (2.0.8 is the latest) and f works just fine. I guess barrkel had enough time to whine on a forum but not enough to look in the program's preferences.
