The section on http://www.libressl.org/ that starts with: "LibreSSL releases contain several parts" lists said parts, with links to manpages for those parts. For example: https://m…

I think you are deliberately missing the point of the last line. Of course free access to a wide variety of education is a good thing - no one is doubting that. But gatekeeping rec…

Do you have a link to said program?

But would they provide resistance? As nice as the idea of a fully-free distro is, I have the impression that free distros have a minuscule userbase compared to their non-free count…

What you describe sounds like search result spam, which is neither irrelevant or a good thing for the consumer.

Downvotes are appropriate. HN isn't the place for in-jokes or pop culture references.

>don't yearn for a boss to tell which is which. This is not what is being said - I will quote the parent commenter: "Here it seems that an influence / behaviour change campaign cou…

It may be worth mentioning, if you want to avoid systemd, that Guix has a Scheme-based init system called Shepherd: https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/

You don't need to fork the entire OS, though - just provide the relevant non-free packages on top of the regular OS. Guix devs themselves have hinted that "adding impurity to a fre…

If we're plugging functional package management, we may as well mention the other significant project in this space - Guix: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/ Essentially,…

Why was the title changed? The old title was not great, but at least informed us that a) the article was about PaX/Grsec, and b) was trying to present another side to the story. HN…

While your point isn't invalid, having to contact my bank and work through the process of setting this up is another layer of hassle that I don't have to deal with on another, more…

The issue isn't with the currency, but the lack of pre-paid plans and how that interacts with flat conversion fees. It's also easy to overlook the euro issue when the majority of p…

Note that Scaleway bills in euros, not dollars, pounds, etc. They also have no pre-paid policy, so you cannot pay a lump sum upfront to get many months usage. This means that you c…

Has there been any update to the status of GuileEmacs? I have read that it aims to be "the future of Emacs", but I rarely see mention of Guile from the Emacs community.

>so blatantly self-serving without being upfront about it Is advertising actually self-serving if it isn't upfront about what it being advertised? This statue is not like a traditi…

This is a comment that seems to pop up quite a lot in discussions of the capitalist status-quo. (Often in a more confrontational manner, unfortunately.) I want to point out that ha…

>They can't keep counterfeits off (I just recently got a 'samsung' battery that would only charge to 80%), Are you sure that it is counterfeit? 80% is a common charging cutoff poin…

Excuse my ignorance, but couldn't a cell that had exceeded its write limit be cycled out for a spare, thus permanently storing a portion of your data in a way unaccessible to any f…

Why no proper mention of ATA Secure Erase? It's not an Apple feature, it's a low level SSD feature designed for this.

However, LSoE is not the same as Goldsmiths, which is the college mentioned here. London colleges are generally good but there is quite a lot of variance - between "great" and "the…

Could you offer some specific, searchable product names?

This is not true. VT-d and ECC were thought to be removed, but these features were simply unlisted, not removed. Intel Ark now shows them as available, e.g: http://ark.intel.com/pr…

Please correct me if I'm wrong - isn't this a terrible business decision? It took a small team a year to make a product that is apparently taking the market by storm. Their secret …
