DistroWatch has frequently said to not take their ratings too seriously and given the way they make them. So, I wouldn't blame DistroWatch.

The cookie banner with forced consent is a red flag. Who keeps on using rhat? They probably take money for a position roo.

DW is so phony on some (Linux) distro pages it's sick.. I've seen clear vote rigging comment spamming and other such crap. Don't get me wrong, it's a very useful site, but there are too many jokers pulling strings with votes, hit counts, and user...

I hope the future sees a massive return to telnet/SSH BBSes. (and dare I say dial-up for those who want to use it, though people may be forced to depending on how invasive the ID system may become) Use a program like SyncTerm to connect and...

You mean like we spoke at home when I was a kid. We blended German and English in our sentences at home. Today when I call my 102 yo mom we still speak like that.

I have in operation - Olivetti XT PC (M19) with 7.16 MHz CPU, 640kB RAM, EMS and network card, with full TCP/IP connectivity - A built PC based on Silverstone retro desktop case, with i440BX TriGem board, Pentium 2 running about 5 soundcards and...

There is a great TCP stack for DOS called mTCP. It is not resident, but a library for client code. And it brings a lot of client apps, not only small tools but full irc client and ftp daemon - the latter is absolutely awesome to move data in and...

I had it running on a 386 with a 8-bit 3com network card. It's very stable but if you have 10 visitors at the same time it stacks up hours of processing jobs. It probably works better with a IDE2USB disk interface instead of an original...

I tried that but it doesn't work. I probably need to install something.

I did this last week. I built an isolated DOS and NetWare5 network using just 1Ghz 686 thin clients that had 1GB or RAM and 1GB SSD. Neither DOS or NetWare could make use of the full spec of these machines but I loaded up my old copies of Borland...

Well said, Zare. Perhaps some matured form of future hardware/networking alternatives have yet to unfold as option(s)/replacement(s). I often lament on how people will share a 2 hour video instead of simple text and expect you to watch it all...

yes, i want this too...:)

Pulling a stunt like that will likely result in getting arrested pretty much anywhere in the world. That said, it's quite frightening how atrocious the security of those systems is.

There are early amd64 CPUs/boards that do not have any sort of system management mode. Having OS and browser built without extra instructions gives you a basically old school computer, but the one that can have GB's of RAM and load even JS-heavy...

if you talk to me :)

The intention is bad; it's all about surveillance and the real-name requirement. The children are just being used as a pretext.

The adapter costs less than 10 bucks. Problem is that many laptops only have mono analog in.

My phone doesn't have a headphone jack.

Thanks! Also testing..

This is going on in the US as well. I wrote my state senator (calmly, nothing about you stupid idiot, etc) and got back a generic reply how they're protecting children but protecting privacy too. It's sad, but people are so incredibly stupid...

This worked. Thank you. I did find that after doing it, I had to run git up twice. The message was something had been moved, please run gitup again. I didn't think to copy it, which was careless on my part. One the machine that I already...

There was svn and svnup. Then there was git, which initially had ± 86 dependencies - to only do a few HTTP requests. And so again a lite version arrived on the horizon: gitup. (which I prefer above doing more maintenance than actual useful...

Often caused by a wrong MTU settings on the tunnel interface. PMTUD getting blocked on a firewall?

Is your OPNSense device also the DHCP server? Does your dumb wifi AP also have a DHCPserver? I would make sure only one DHCP server is running I would prefer the OPNsense device, make sure it's handing out a valid nameserver

Used mine to pick up ADS-B (aircraft transponders) from aircraft flying overhead. Even that flaky dipole antenna it came with works, it's not a super antenna but for a bit of SIGINT experimenting it'll do just fine.

You don't want to block log all. Every packet is going to hit it, including the stuff you allow later on in the rule set.

Perhaps, however: We will all be dead, long before IRCv3 matters As per the spec, even ancient clients must remain supported Realistically what this means is that In space-year 3099, Microsoft Comic Chat will still remain viable. That really is...

you will have random data which is basically not compressible. I would suggest no compression or lz4 which is very fast in compression and decompression of data as well as detecting whether data is compressible.

PF can be a little strict, but it's also rather casual with its syntax. Anyway, first things first: while the official documentation is always a good reference you should keep in mind that it might not include specific changes that apply to the...

I'm reading http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/filter.html and ran into this paragraph: Since rules are usually `pass in log` `block in log` I went ahead and assumed `block all log`, which seems is not right and it's actually `block log all`. Based...

It still needs a conspiracy. I expect all of the US, UK and EU internet providers will suddenly launch a networking standard that involves an isolated ID channel which will be the enforcement. No ID, no connection. Pretty much 1 giant firmware...

Is there any way I can output sound from my phone, eg from an FM Radio app through my laptop's speakers? In this case a ThinkPad W520 running FreeBSD 15.0.

The urxvt(1) man page mentions something about it: That does seems unnecessarily risky just for that feature. Also, utmp(5) was apparently removed in FreeBSD 9.0 according to the release notes, so I don't know if the described feature even...

I beg to disagree. This reminds me the typical "use systemd or else...", which is the one and only "argument" systemd lovers have. It basically says use systemd or get a PDP-11. Even though systemd plagued the Linux world, there are systemd-free...

Man, that reminds me. I need to re-calibrate my Oscillation Overthruster.

And no matter where you go, there you are.

I'm not sure what is meant by "vanilla command", the term is rather imprecise. The term "legacy" is clearer. However, it may mean different things to different people. I wouldn't call vermaden's sysutils/beadm legacy. bectl was originally...

Yep. Generally pretty on-topic. The numbers of active users is actually very consistent. It hasn't changed much since I started using it a couple of decades ago and will likely remain the same, long after Discord shuts business.

I see this too
