Just because the media (including Microsoft) tagged those projects (that were maintained by small groups of core develops and are free (unpaid) software) with fancy names - those problems weren't anything like the massive, global impact of just one of Microsoft's ticking timebombs due to poor software design and lack of emphasis on security in their products. OpenSSL doesn't and didn't have the PR powerhouse of Microsoft and people didn't pay for their software let alone fund its development.
Pretty sure this is a highly targeted piece of PR designed to shift the blame from Microsofts appallingly poor operating system design especially when it comes to security. Are the NSA a deceptive, anti-humanist organisation that performs atrocious acts against people - yes - I absolutely believe so and they play a HUGE part in this, but Microsoft - they are the irresponsible software vendor here and do they reimburse people that have PAID for their software? No.
This is something I didn't know I needed for a long time, how has this not existed until now? It's so simple and truly is a delight to use. Thank you kind sir!
How well does it handle larger libraries? My collection is around 1.4TB and I've found web apps that use a lot of js tend to lag up in the browser etc....?
Did I break HN post regulations for this comment? (Just trying to figure out why I had 5 down votes in the interest of not breaking it again if I did).
I wonder if it'll actually finally have useful a SELinux implementation and policies like they promised they'd have before releasing Jessie (8), or remotely up to date clustering software such as pacemaker, corosync, ha resource agents and DRBD which is pretty much unusable in any modern in 7, or 8. Jessie (8) was such a flop of a release so many people and business's I know that were loyal to Debian moved to CentOS 7 + EPEL/Elrepo with great success and given how hostile the Debian community (mainly packing community) has become over recent years and how helpful and inclusive Fedora and RHEL's community and bug tracking ecosystem has become I can't see many of us moving back.
Have you actually logged a feature request for this?
*Edit: Thanks for the downvote, but seriously - have you? If you haven't - It's more constructive to do that so civilised production direction and development discussion may take place in the official centralised forum rather than having outbursts on HN.
I agree to a point, one factor that can help mitigate this however is using a quality SSD where it's onboard memory has ECC, I suspect Apple sees the near future of end user computing as gaining ECC for all memory by standard which is something I've wanting for years but games have been played by CPU manufacturers to prevent the use of high end desktop CPUs in server environments by I believe purposely kneecapping them from using ECC memory (citation probably needed here).
Sorry if I was somehow disrespectful - I'm unsure how my question warranted a downvote, I'm quite genuinely interested why - so happy for critical feedback.
I think it's a great move to show the general public how insanely insecure and intrusive the IoT and always-listening cloud devices can be. People brought it to light with google and with amazon - nothing changed and unaware people lapped up the devices, hopefully a demonstration thats more tangible to the general public phones home (pun intended).
Thanks eddd, I would have probably linked to this also, it's easier to point to people who have done proper write-ups than write my own experiences as I think there's enough out there.
More heavily than ever, I have every bookmark in my bookmarks toolbar, all in folders such as 'home' and 'work' for local URLs, 'checkout' for things I've found but not researched, 'git' for URLs to my GitLab / GitHub projects etc... pretty much every fancy bookmark management service or replacement has massively disappointed me, overly complicated or requires running background services (like xmarks) etc... the only reliable one is the built in Firefox sync, then I use a plugin to export bookmarks to HTML on quit which exports to a directory in my Dropbox directory.
I could not agree more, this is why every time I try atom I go back to sublime, that's really only one example of many - there's a massive difference between javascript 'desktop web app frames' and native applications written in ObjC/Swift/QT etc... between the terrible perceived(?) latency of javascript apps and the memory usage to be honest I just delete the app and find something else when I come across them.
Plex just uses ffmpeg, the version bundled does include GPU support although I believe it depends on the codec, from memory it does x264 but not x265 or vp9 but I could be wrong.
