And this is where we wrap around to C being the lingua franca of programming. No matter what language you write in, if you want to talk to anything that isn't your language, you must speak some dialect of C. C has become more than a language, it...

Gnome has nothing to do with system service management. What has to exist for what? It will be deleted or disabled.

Simply that my wife got an iPad and now does almost everything on that, and the kids grew up and flew the nest... When they come back they have their own laptops. It was a great setup when they were at school and needed computers for homework...

Easy. Done. wpa_supplicant already supports AC wifi (written in C). What you are waiting on is drivers. As I described above, the wait for these is not due to language choice. More like FreeBSD doesn't have such support from companies like Intel...

As a decades-long ASM coder, I took amusement from the hysteria over GOTO type statements. At the ASM level conditional jumps are a fact of life. I just want to get work done, and not have to fight with the arcane sections of the language. I am...

AI is the new India outsourcing ;) History will likely repeat itself and more software will simply end up needing to be written. The market will expand for the resources.

Somehow, systemd reminds me of this relatively old satirical post https://web.archive.org/web/20010331225146/http://mslinux.org/ The other day I sent it to a systemd loving acquaintance, who thought it was serious and didn't see how systemd...

Electron is a conspiracy by the CPU manufacturers to buy EPYC and Xeon MP systems.

One nice thing, for me anyway, is that now videos and podcasts are in a separate section. For me, I would click a link, then see it was a video, because I'd missed the "youtube" in the link. A minor thing, but I like it. :)

Dropped the lot, nobody really used them anyway. You can user your "About:" section or your signature to divulge whichever contact options you'd like.

It's just a piece of optional software. Someone who can achieve the same with only shell commands is ahead of all systemd users. Same for rc.d, btw. It's meant for people who only want to use particular applications without any technical...

Though it didn't look like it in the example, I am assuming this can be a global toggle so all the many dependencies use the same unchecked array accesses? (Kind of like the MSVC debug STL)

FWIW in a big system in $OLDJOB where we used a language where you can turn array bounds checks on and off on a per-function basis I permanently turned them on for everything. After a couple years of debugging. Just not worth it omitting them...

In cases where constexpr can't be evaluated at compile-time (which is *most* of the time in production), the general compromise is to do bounds checking at debug time and once branch testing is complete, strip it out for release time...

FreeBSD was installed on my work PC (which had an AMD K5 CPU) in 1997. I've loved and used it since, and "maintain" a few ports. How I used to install it: How you know where it ran: I read the book: I'm not shy about promotion (but...

Create a port for it. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/

That seems like a mistake. Ubuntu (and Debian) use systemd.

To start a FreeBSD jail, yes.

All this talk of containers makes me think it's a "me too" cause Linux has it and not because we don't have our own thing and it's just a Linux-ism.

You should always get the best tools you can afford. Harbor Freight is OK if you only need something a few times but if you are going to live with a tool for a lifetime then FreeBSD is an excellent choice.

I've used multiple monitors for decades without using Wayland.

Its described in FreeBSD Handbook how to create Linux Jails: - https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/jails/#creating-linux-jail

Use the e1000 network interface and ahci-hd (although AHCI might even be too 'new').

Why are you trying to start Ubuntu with a BSD rc (/etc/rc) script?

I usually capture traffic with `tcpdump -w <file> ...` and decide later how to display it. Including in a hex editor.

Decent AM4 and AM5 boards by Asus, Gigabyte and Asrock support unbuffered ECC. MSI does not. So the platform doesn't cost more. Finding the DIMMs right now I don't know about. But I would surely try.

Well, you're kind of promoting ICQ, but it doesn't exist anymore, so I was wondering which other central entity has taken over the protocol to also be ICQ. You're not mentioning a service name... Pidgin was a universal frontend for early IM...

Thank you for catching that. I was sure that I set it to Members only, but clearly I did not. Since I'm off to a slow start, please excuse my cluelessness and explain your question and to what you refer as "assimilation tactics". While not my...

Just use tcpdump and capture whatever you want. tcpdump -ni igb1 -s 1600 ip net 10.0.0.0/8

Here is the second address they have listed. The next step would be to find a phone number for that location and call it directly. Ask whether it is the office of Grand Access Investment. If they confirm it or hang up when asked you now have a...

Found this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5573841.0 maybe your bolektusk or you have something in common with someone who also got scammed, you should contact them.

This is a low effort scam. The logo appears AI-generated, and the site itself is clearly cloned. If you check the source: view-source:https://grandaccessinvestment.com/ You’ll find this: &lt;!-- Mirrored from grandincomeaccess.com/ by HTTrack...

Cyber-crime in the united states is a federal offense.

They are more than likely in India or Nigeria; that’s where an overwhelming majority of online scams originate. The only hope of getting your money back or even finding them is contacting one of those hacker groups on YouTube that track down and...

The more I read, the more I decide to stay with fcitx5-anthy till mozc becomes a package :). That's not any sort of insult, it just seems that it probably requires someone with more skill and knowledge than I have to make it work, especially...

Direct message sent.

Never signed up for it. Or, if I did, never used it long enough to remember that.

I have two RPi Zero W (not the Zero 2) in production with Linux = Debian = Raspbian. They work fine for data acquisition and control, and are nearly the same speed as the original model B (0.7 vs 1 GHz), and the same 512 MB RAM. Matter-of-fact...

Ahh, now I remember. I think it was when someone messaged you, though I'm not sure. Anyway, one of its signals was an "uh-oh"

No. I don't.

What game? Nothing was said about a game till post #5 and I still don't know what game this was talking about but I do know you were talking about a server so I assumed something like nginix or apache as a web server. So now that you mention...

It is possible to set up multiseat with separate nvidia cards - but probably not using one card with several monitor outputs. Each instance of Xorg (and the nvidia driver) needs to be told which graphics card to use. I did this a long while ago...

fetch/install without -r only gives you patches for major bug fixes, i.e. bugs that might compromise your system or make it unusable. Upgrading to a new release, even a minor one like 14.3->14.4, gives you all the new features and minor bug fixes.
