LtWorf··on Linux containers in 500 lines of code (2016)
Because we've never encountered hardware bugs…

They are a security boundary, but like everything else, not perfect.
LtWorf··on Why don't more developers “use the platform”?
Referrer header + IP address + user agent?

For better user tracking!
LtWorf··on We're going to need default hard budget caps on pretty much everything
If it is good for the free market and is competitive, it will get bought by a competitor.

But there's no such vendor… the joys of free market.
LtWorf··on Red Hat being phased out of existence?
I'm not saying it is. I'm saying debian testing is less.
LtWorf··on Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel
setsockopt changing behaviour and crashing processes.
LtWorf··on Red Hat being phased out of existence?
3 months is completely meaningless.

First time I tried wayland it was on fedora.

I downloaded a .iso file on /tmp and the screen went black.

Because these days the systemd dev decided that /tmp must be mounted on tmpfs to be fast, so storing a file there obviously triggered the OOM killer that proceded to kill the wayland process, which caused everything to die.

/tmp is mounted on RAM by default these days, by systemd. Apparently not dropping 2000€ on a computer is not a normal configuration.

setsockopt that do nothing easily go to crashing the process in later versions…

I mean… good for you. How does that help me when my software crashes because they changed some API?

> Linux only ever wanted to promise support for the latest release and even Linux LTS is a concession.

If he kept true of his "we don't break user space" instead of it being "we don't break user space until we do and then it's on you to deal with it" perhaps more people would be willing to run the latest release.

Much less disruptive than fedora.

You could just use debian testing?

Hashicorp didn't really have a moat IMHO.
LtWorf··on Returning from vacation? The government can search your phone without a warrant
I am implying that protesting and probably creating a new political party are needed to get some kind of actual change.
LtWorf··on Returning from vacation? The government can search your phone without a warrant
Was it going to expire soon? Did they lack a visa?
LtWorf··on Returning from vacation? The government can search your phone without a warrant
Did they have a valid passport?

But it makes it clear that voting won't fix this.
LtWorf··on Doing a Machine Learning PhD While Working in Japan
I agree with you. But I will point out you wrote it without needing to spam your own 90 minutes video.
LtWorf··on Doing a Machine Learning PhD While Working in Japan
If you can't detail why it's bad in any shorter form than a 90 minutes video, perhaps it's not that bad.
LtWorf··on You are no longer invited to dinner
I can feel equally socially energised meeting people outside and I don't have to spend hours cleaning up after!
LtWorf··on Kids turned low-traffic NPR Spotify comments into a secret group chat
My parents gave me no such talk; I now believe that at least some of the "teenage girls" i chatted with were in fact not girls at all.
LtWorf··on It's Time to Investigate the AI Labs
Computer vision is not AI? This is complete news to me.
LtWorf··on US Forces Exit Iraq
I had a coworker who is a refugee from iraq. He used to say "we had schools, roads and hospitals, now we have none of that but we have democracy".
LtWorf··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
There is a single moderator for most of the big italian subreddits and he bans anyone that says "genocide bad". He also bans anyone who points this out.

Pretty sure that's his day job.

LtWorf··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
The mod for r/linux was famous for banning anyone who didn't take his side in the kde/gnome systemd/systemv or whatever (I don't remember).

They got rid of him just because the owner of the subreddit was someone else who wasn't really using reddit any more but still could kick that mod.

LtWorf··on 37,500 border drawings: a map of the world as people remember it
It just means "my beloved"/"my dear".
LtWorf··on Japan moves to tighten rules for foreigners
Isn't japan the country where you can kidnap and torture and kill a woman and not go to jail?

Yeah i think they have low crime because of their interesting definitions of what a crime is.

LtWorf··on On caring for user data: NeoVim caused Vim undo files to be deleted
Can you point me to any such commercial text editor?
