Basically all social media :p

To be clear: this is not Firefox's fork and I'm unclear that it's a fork of Firefox. First, it was created by an individual, not Firefox or Mozilla. Second, it uses the same Gecko engine Firefox uses. How much beyond using the same engine it...

There's many different parameters in your sudoers file you can change to alter its behavior. You simply don't understand Sudo.

Somehow that reminds me of the joke, (using the first one I found with a web search, from reddit

I have to agree with fernandel's implication that waterfox is fine, speed wise. I've been using it for awhile now, I think after firefox started doing something that got me nervous, don't even remember what, and it's been quite solid, and...

Something very wrong is going on. I had a torrent client running which I stopped and I had a dummynet rule (one) which I removed After about a day I get this : Those if_io_tqg_* threads are consuming insane amount of CPU but the traffic on the...

Ok, I figured it out thanks to Phishfry. In fact, it was the BIOS, and it need to be updated. Once I did that the amdgpu module loaded without a problem. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Phishfry, I did try the Radeonkms driver, but no luck. I have no config files in xorg.d because this is a new install. I've been through all the Handbook documentation, but nothing addresses this. I've also queried the forums looking for the...

As I see it, biggest hurdles for them are twofold: on one hand development wasn't biggest priority because they could buy Intel CPUs and second, what they developed was produced by TSMC, from which they were banned. IDK for sure, but I assume...

I've found the mole.

Absolutely not. $SEARCH_ENGINE "Volksempfänger" for where this road leads.

One rant that does not make sense. Either you appreciate controlled user privilege security or you don't. But even if you don't, there are several ways around the regular password checks with sudo on Arch or Artix: sudo bash sudo su sudo -s...

ATM I rebooted into Alt Linux, so can't do screenshots from FreeBSD at least until tomorrow, but do check those posts, all is there:

So, I just bought a used version of the above computer. FreeBSD 14.3 installs fine. But getting X to work has been frustrating. The docs say I should be using the "amdgpu" module. Unfortunately, that crashes the system. Here's what dmsg...

I see, excusme, could you send to me the actual screeshots from your /boot/loader.conf, /etc/fstab, /etc/rc.conf and /compat/ubuntu Thank you

In this case, I have waited hours (12 at the longest) for any kind of return from any of the commands I've tried to delete the directory contents. Were the different commands working? Probably... but as you point out, I wasn't waiting long...

Well, MCST is acronym for Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies, and they are spin-off of Lebedev Institute of Precision Mechanics and Computer Engineering which was first to develop Elbrus brand which had few different instruction set...

just recently i had to install system and was surprised it labeled (did it?) swap but didn't use them in fstab. i was like wait who does that. that would allow system to shit, i mean, swap all over the disks i changed it for those obvious...

Yup, you do! The origin of the name POSIX

And yet, if I remember correctly, it was RMS who proposed the name POSIX...

Going back to the title, "Do you..." is a big difference against "Should you..." If one is writing a script that WILL be distributed to other systems, other customers, then yes, one "should" If one is writing a script for sole personal use, who...

AFAIK Elbrus Linux, Astra Linux and Alt Linux and for some models Protected real-time operating system Neutrino-E Here in #26, I posted link where you can see bunch of Elbrus workstations and servers

Since Barco stopped to make Personal/Reference Calibrator monitors, IMHO Eizo is the best $ can buy for color accuracy. BTW, there are still Sparc based notebooks made today, but not exactly with Sparc CPU, Elbrus is based on that tech but...

We used to call it automation :-)

Im using Void right now, and i can confirm. Its far from unfinished or broken. As you said, its a serious linux distribution. Using doas and runit is just pure pleasure. Unfortunately, its still linux. And i have to use now instead of freebsd...

Our clothes dryer started acting up. It and the washing machine are both something way over 15 years old but they did the job. However we thought it was time to move on to new machines and Costco had a great deal on washers/dryers that were top...

Tadpole was a british company that launched a similar sparc laptop, I remember those, I almost bought one at one point, but it was ridiculously expensive. I think their sparc machine only lasted a few years. Looks like they made a powerpc one...

AFAIK AS1000 was the first SPARC laptop, right? Then Tadpole made few models during ‘90s, and latest that I know of was NatureTech 777 GenialStation (~2001/2), with SUN UltraSPARC IIe @ 500 MHz w/256-KB L2 Cache; 15.0" TFT SXGA LCD Panel; 256MB...

You are still using /boot/loader.conf instead of /etc/rc.conf for loading .ko’s, and you are doing it wrong, it’s never =YES" but should be ="YES" Also, your /comapt/ubuntu/ looks strange, IDK what debootsratp/ is doing there and you don’t have...

TOSHIBA AS1000/C80 (SuperSPARC II 75MHz)

*THE* single best book on AWK until today (and IMHO still the best book on any programming language, closely followed by the K&R) is "The AWK Programming language" by the languages authors Aho, Weinberger, Kernighan. They manage to tell you...

(In addition to sko-s remarks.) That's is likely a misconception. It may appear so, because, just as in sed, awk might be used, especially on the command line, highly decorated with regular expressions. That is one of its strength's. Both sed...

Thanks, all my systems I set my user shell to tcsh (easier for me in an interactive use) and muscle memory defaults to me typing sudo /bin/bash. As for setting SHELL, to the best of my knowledge it should.

I was in the same boat for many years. Based on an O'Rielly book I thought it was only for quick filters alongside sed. But it wasn't until I did a little bit of compiler design at University and linked the A to Aho, author of the Dragon book and...

I don't have extensive non-one true AWK/NAWK experience. With the 'release' stemming from the the awk book second edition, however, things might have changed. Also, the FreeBSD's awk has been updated recently :), which is great.

The extended functionality isn't a problem as long as the POSIX subset is also supported, but some GNU tools have changed or dropped some features specified by POSIX. From my experience, with GNU variants you'd have to *carefully* check the...

Hahaha 😂

In FreeBSD it’s very easy to stop sudo asking for passwords. Not secure, but on personal box can be convenient. su - pw groupmod wheel -m <your_username> visudo /%w/ 3z 2x :wq ^D

Doesn't look like a clean way to me, what do you try to archive?

That would be good. Oracle did a fair bit of kernel development for Solaris 11.0 (roughly when they closed down OpenSolaris) and later. illumos development seems to be mainly network and disk drivers with an acceptable (though often dated)...

okay, here:

There is RootKit Hunter security/rkhunter. I don't have much experience with it and it's a bit outdated: the latest version is from 2018
