    At least we know. Though, it was always based on activity from their site. They need a better metric though. While they don't do it on purpose, the metric used gives it some blame. I wouldn't do too much to artificially lift one OS, but perhaps...

    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.

    I have observed that a current Nvidia card (RTX 5050) with the 595 series driver links to my AVR and projector with all the prerequisites for HDR (10 bit, RGB, 4:4:4). Kodi detects HDR files and should have the code to use it. I know that the...

    x11/xlibre It seems to pull in some bits and pieces from Xorg. I guess it hasn't been completely forked yet (all the bells and whistles), only some core components.

    Crap. I looked up Geforce 9. I should have looked at Geforce 900M series.

    Nothing was actually compromised. They managed to grab my session token (cookie) and used it to insert widgets through the forum's admin page. Those widgets have all been removed.

    Did anyone ever really separate it and make an independent display server? Is there a dependency list of programs? which Xorg components can be deleted after installing Xlibre?
  • SirDice
    Don't think that's possible with a single device. Although it could constantly switch frequencies, you're probably going to end up with gaps in the received NOAA picture. It can't listen on two (or more) different frequencies simultaneously...

    That happened a long time ago, you are stuck with the 340 version, regardless if you're on Xorg or XLibre.

    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.

    fernandel, I ran gitup after trying dns.company's fix and it gave a message, the one I didn't keep, I think it was something about something being moved, anyway, it then read please rerun gitup. Which I did (gitup ports), and everything was...

    Could you have just accidentally hit a key combo, perhaps while trying to close a page or something? (though I don't know what combo would do that).

    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...

    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.

    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 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...

    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...

    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 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.

    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...
