Interesting take, but as a sibling commented: όχι. > αι = ε > αι already sounds identical to ε in Modern Greek, so the digraph is dropped. sounds the same, but the distinction actu…

I watched this in 2020 even though it's from EuroBSDCon 2019. I'm talking about Patricia Aas keynote "Embedded Ethics": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNIiitVFtc Hasn't aged one …

I worry about online voting not being transparent enough

One could implement a rudimentary IPv4 stack in a couple of afternoons. There is not much magic in parsing Ethernet / ARP / IPv4 / UDP. For IPv6, a node needs to speak ICMPv6/NDP/M…

Another vote for inoreader. Used TheOldReader.com when Google killed Reader, then switched to inoreader. Haven't looked back (even though I'm using the free version still). edit: A…

But the content of shipping container #1 does not spill into shipping container #2. If it does, there's a problem. Similarly with software containers, you don't want data flowing i…

My guess is that the signaling servers are centralized. You need those for connection establishment between two peers. Once they 'know' each other, they may aswell talk to each oth…

In OpenBSD, "base builds base". That is to say, one must be able to build the system using the compiler provided in the compXX.tgz set. gcc moved to GPLv3 and OpenBSD doesn't ship …

I'd recommend any Python talk by Raymond Hettinger (Python core developer). The content is top notch, and he is also very good at delivering it.

As pointed out by JdeBP, I confused RemainAfterExit= with KillUserProcess=. RemainAfterExit is an option indicating how systemd should process a unit file, while KillUserProcess is…

yes, indeed. Too late to edit now though :(

At some point, systemd introduced a RemainAfterExit= option, which killed all user started programs when the user logged out. IIRC, this is because of some misbehaving gnome applic…

I have a problem with how service files are good, except when you don't get them right on the first try and it's difficult to debug (unless I've missed something obvious). More gen…

Does anyone have resources related to learning concurrency ? I've had a very short introduction to pthreads in a CS class, but it was too succinct to get any practical benefit IMO.…

I have followed eBPF development from afar, so I don't exactly where it's at. I have a ... semantics question: do people really refer to eBPF as BPF ? This is probably bothering me…

Not going to use yGuard anywhere, but thanks for opensourcing it. On the other hand, I stumbled upon yEd some time ago and it has been my go-to tool for diagrams ever since. Thanks…

After Google killed Reader, I switched to theoldreader.com and then inoreader. Very clean interface, the Android app rocks. I'm still too cheap to go on a paid plan, but even so th…

EuroBSDcon 2019 Keynote by Patricia Aas: Embedded Ethics ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNIiitVFtc / slides: https://www.slideshare.net/PatriciaAas/embedded-ethics-eurob... ) B…

Alright, so that would mean that it's not WireGuard that's broken because it's trying to be more picky about the RNG, but rather the Linux CSPRNG that's broken when RDRAND is misbe…

I'm surprised WireGuard asks RDRAND directly. Isn't there a facility inside the Linux to get random numbers ? OpenBSD conveniently provides arc4random() in its libc for application…

No argument there. My point is that the default for FreeBSD jails is "isolate everything" and it's up to the user to open it up. My post was in response to 'sayhello' that is wonde…

The BSD jails / Solaris zones approach is not the same at the path taken by Linux. Linux gives you a facility to isolate network, a facility to isolate process views etc. You put t…

Doubt it had anything to do with ministers. They probably have 'work' phones, and these are paid by 'work'. In other words, citizen's tax euros ...

I am by not means qualified to judge on the quality of the patch, but I'm glad Linus is moving away from adding flags to getrandom() (resulting in subtly different behaviour than t…

Thanks. I was staring at the snippet wondering. I'm not all that familiar with YAML, so I thought perhaps all the values needed to be quoted rather that just written as is.
