Here is another example:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nethogs/+bug/15433...

It doesn't work at all and bug is fixed upstream, but fix only goes to unstable.

Actually, if I understand what Linus says here[1] correctly, porting modules from other OSes to work with linux seems to be ok, writing closed source modules specifically for linux kernel is not ok. But overall still a gray area.

Other kernel devs indeed claim that everything that links with a kernel is a derivative work and EXPORT_SYMBOL / EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL distinction means nothing.

It is really easy to bypass any kind of adblock filtering by just hosting your ads locally on your own domain, but for some reason all the 'content creators' are to lazy to go back to the old ways. When you buy a newspaper, you can't magically cut images out of it, especially if layout changes from time to time and same can be applied to web pages.

Blame those hassle-free, privacy violating personalized ad networks that infected everything.

If you put a static ad image hosted on your own server on the page, something like http://wired.com/img/jhfkfhfuhi34cn2.jpg, ad blocker will not be able to distinguish it from other images and won't block it.

There is also common banner dimensions that get blocked, but it is easy to defeat by adding a pixel somewhere that fits into site design.

Problem with this approach is that you can't just slap some random ad network script there and be done with it, no targeted ads, tracking etc - basically everything people don't like and a reason to use ad blockers.

You have to enable options and test the impact. For example, on my cheap vps, when I enable gzip like google recommends, load time actually increases. Maybe it would be lower for someone using pigeon connection, but not for the average case.

They don't really have to force you to install that root cert. Every https connection will be signed with it, so you either trust that cert and can actually view the site (and gov can read it all) or you don't and just get error in your browser.

Everything is breakable, but some things take a really looong time to break. Governments might be able to break some weak https encryption, but not all.

You don't have to. Proxy handles the request and just gives response back to you signed with national cert. If you don't install it, your browser will just start complaining about every site. At least that is how Bluecoat ProxySG[1] works at my employee.

Let's say we have a service, that needs network to be up and running. network.target won't work on boot, you start googling and find network-online.target that should do the trick, but it doesn't. Then you spend half an hour trying to figure out how to make it wait for dhcp config to finish for /etc/network/interfaces. In the end, either find that you need to enable some obscure service that waits for it and makes network-online.target actually work and enable it or you copy-paste it from somewhere on the internet and it is a shell script anyway. I'm not sure how you can you depend on network-online.target and be sure this network waiting services are properly enabled.

With sysvinit you'd usually just put it on S99 and be done with it in most cases.

Anything made by Blizzard works in Wine just fine. Switched to Linux only years ago. I remember I was already playing WoW WotLK in Ubuntu with Wine.

You set updates to check only. Otherwise you launch your several windows VMs one day and they all start downloading windows 10, yay!

> If your numbers were the general rules, we'd be mostly reading $1 articles written in 3rd world countries, were people can live on $5 a day.

If quality is the same, that is exactly what will happen. You are already using software, iphones and TVs built in 3rd world countries for $5 a day.

> What if your company decided that you're not worth paying, but still wanted your work?

Perfectly reasonable, then you stop working/creating content and find another job. Capitalism is selfish.

I've disabled adblock on some sites, that are really useful to me, like TV series calendar and donated to some sites that I read often, I bought indie games I liked, but I'm not going to pay to some random blog I accidentally landed from some random link once and never came back again.

Proposed micro transaction model won't make me pay for it anyway. Why someone feels entitled to my money, just because they facerolled their keyboard for a half an hour? Sometimes it feels like authors should actually pay me for reading/installing that pile of garbage they call "content".

It is already fucked up situation that I have to pay for a movie, which ends up being complete crap, but with millions spent on ads, and I have no way to get my money back.

As soon as I see random site asking for money before I even see a content, I just close the page and find another with roughly the same content. Just ask nicely and maybe I'll disable adblock or donate if I feel like the content was worth it.

It is zero cost for linux kernel to just keep an optional feature and quite a problem for openbsd to accept and maintain another arch after that student is done with his project and moved on.

Crashes occasionally, but npapi crashed for me as well. Main advantage is that you get new flash version, that some games require to run.

Someone using OTP like google auth would likely be affected on linux, but it is not default and you can hardly bruteforce it either. On top of that fail2ban should deal with such bruteforce attempts just fine.

They remove paywall when visitor comes from google search results, so if you want to read something - just put URL into google search and you get to read it for free.

Otherwise they either won't get indexed at all or breach google policy that google bot should see same content as the user coming from search results.

My ISP only blocks common ports on dynamic ip ranges. If you order a static IP, you do whatever you want with it. They even set reverse dns record for me when I asked, because some blocklists/mail servers want it that way.

Issue with running your own mail server nowadays is spam. Gmail does a decent job filtering all the crap.

You can use native code. Problem is that you need a compiler for it and so far optimizations is their main issue.

That does not scale really well, unless are really on the edge of this 3k. As soon as you start earning more, your users will be confused if you release 'new' product every month. Besides, I bet if you read full license, it will have proper legal rules there against this and other tricks you might come up with.

Iraq is close to being governed by Islamic State. I'm not sure it is a good definition of "winning" either. Sounds more like US won the match, but lost the game.

Two bishops here. It gets boring when there is a few pieces left.. there is hardly any chance random will actually win - it will keep moving around forever.

Same model and I don't have this issue. This might be a driver or hardware issue. Phone is manufactured by LG, so it is possible that Google can't really fix it.

One comment claims same problem happened in 4.2.2, 4.4.4 and 5.0 too, so it might be some changes in 5.0 just make it happen much more often (NuPlayer?)

Can you move those tabs just above webpage without third party addon? I know Classic Theme Restorer solves it, but Firefox also keeps changing stuff I got used to like every other release.

I don't get why they can't leave it alone for existing users and ask explicitly if I want to turn on all those new fancy features on updates. I don't mind if options will be hidden in about:config.

There is Zoho mail[1] - 1 domain, 10 users, 5Gb per user.

You can also try Yandex mail for domains[2] (1000 users and unlimited storage), but you will have to use Google translate to add domain - unlike mail itself, this pages are in Russian only[3].

It seems to have muzzle brake on main gun. I wonder why they chose to use it, it seems none of the current tanks have them for a reason.

Also Udacity has "Applied Cryptography"[1].

While coursera focuses on theory, it is a bit more practical. I'd say they complement each other nicely.

The idea is that hypervisor is significantly smaller than the OS/kernel, so there will be less bugs. Not that they never happen, Xen had one recently.

But lacking raid5/6, even N-way mirrors. ZFS is not perfect, but btrfs is not even close in terms of features.
