Her, and the dude from Sisters of Mercy.

Additionally, if I'm buying cold medicine there's a really good chance I have a cold , and my ability and inclination to carefully analyze the ingredient list on a box of medicine …

It depends on the brand, but a lot of the stuff I buy is available directly from the manufacturer's site, usually via Shop Pay.

What's been keeping Linux from having gorgeous icons up to this point?

Can confirm. Renaming Ethereal to Wireshark involved a bunch of code and documentation updates, registering word and design trademarks across jurisdictions, and in our case we didn…

...so open source developers should know their place and just dedicate themselves to endless, unpaid toil forever and ever, amen?

You might want to take a look at Atlas Obscura Places map: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/all-places-in-the-atla... . For the US at least, it shows a variety of interesting …

No clue if that exact image was altered, but I do a fair amount of road biking east of Napa and Sonoma, and on some days the sky and hills look just like the photo.

If I read the sentence correctly they're saying that past reports were AI slop, but the state of the art has advanced and that current reports are valid. This matches trends I've s…

What "distro" package manager is available on Windows and macOS? vcpkg doesn't provide binary packages and has quite a few autotools-shaped holes. Homebrew is great as long as you'…

Don't schools typically use Chromebooks these days? My daughter was issued one each year from grade 7 to 12.

I ran into a similar situation a couple of years ago. It wasn't at the scale you describe, but it was an absurd number of requests for a ~80 MB software installer. I ended up redir…

I lead a large-ish open source software project. We have developers that need to build on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It's useful to be able to get everyone bootstrapped with as few…

Those tools either don't ship with, or exist in wildly different forms on Windows. It's particularly bad for curl, which might be the real curl.se curl or Microsoft's confusingly-n…

For plain C/C++ you can just pass `-arch x86_64 -arch arm64` to clang. CMake takes care of this for you if you specify `CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64;arm64` and IIRC Meson has sim…

For us (Wireshark) the difficulty wasn't with our own codebase, but with getting our dependencies ported over. Most libraries built just fine, but some strongly assumed that "Windo…

There's also 13-W3: DB shell, 13 pins, 3 of them coax: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB13W3 . They were used for high-end workstation video back in the day.

The One Weird Trick I learned was to to get a company attorney to write a professional opinion letter saying that you are indeed authorized to get a cert on behalf of your company.…

You might try passing `--modern-bpf` to sysdig. It has traditionally captured syscalls using a kernel module, and it sounds like that's where your errors are coming from. Newer ver…

Thanks! It's great to hear from you!

Chris is definitely a good resource! We (the Wireshark Foundation) also have SharkFest session recordings up at https://www.youtube.com/@WireSharkFest

In this case you would presumably have a capture file that contained syscall events at both the macOS boundary and at the Linux VM boundary. At the present time it would be like ca…

Done. We've been upgraded from medium-risk "grayware" to low-risk "generally do not contain content that is useful to the end user" which is technically better, I suppose. Update: …

The tools are similar in many ways, but Stratoshark shares Wireshark's dissection, filtering, and UI code, which provides a more low-level details and a free-form filtering languag…

It uses Falco libs[1] underneath, which supports capture using eBPF or a kmod. I work with the Falco libs team and they go to great lengths to minimize overhead. [1] https://github…
