strncpy was originally used to write into fixed length buffers[1]. This becomes obvious when considering the padding behavior, as described in the C standard[2]: "If the array pointed to by s2 is a string that is shorter than n characters, null characters are appended to the copy in the array pointed to by s1, until n characters in all have been written."

strlcpy, often touted as a replacement, does not elicit the padding behavior but has another flaw: It is supposed to return the length of the string it tried to create, for example, so the user can call realloc without calling strlen again.[3] However, this final "strlen-tail" in strlcpy isn't bounded by the size parameter which describes dest, not src.

While strscpy is a marked improvement, there is still something to be careful about: It can read past the end of the src-buffer, when sizeof src < sizeof dest and src is not nul-terminated.[4] (Set the count argument to something like min(sizeof dest, sizeof src) to avoid that).

Also there is garage, which I found easy to setup: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

Game theoretic modelling commonly results in early escalation followed by a slower de-escalating as a winning strategy. Fits into the strong-arm approach to politics of exercising power to expand power which the current US administration seems to follow. Thus, I wouldn't think that decoupling or falling of a cliff is the intended goal.

Did you know that 90% of gamblers quit before they win big? /s

Problem here is that the excessive focus on secondary issues raises the perception of a problem solving deficit which reduces support/legitimacy for the political system.

It would be nice to focus on solving more existential problems of which there are enough.

GitHub issue for podman support, here: https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower/issues/1060

Seems to me that everyone is focused on the technical merits, not weighing the effort of learning a new programming language/toolchain/ecosystem for the maintainers appropriately.

Mastering a new programming language to a degree that makes one a competent maintainer is nothing to sneeze at and some maintainers might be unwilling to based on personal interests/motivation, which I'd consider legitimate position.

I think its important to acknowledge that not everyone may feel comfortable talking about their lack of competence/disinterest.

YMMV depending on the exact setup but SQLite is usually faster for many small BLOBs than the filesystem, https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html

One benefit they list is storing associated metadata in the database (specifically different types of hashes are mentioned) which is not so easy with a file system.

I think the bigger benefit though is the increased read performance on many small files (saving system call overhead). To which amount that applies to static files that a smart server might keep in cache, I don't know.

> but....the SQLite file is locked against reads while writing in order to achieve serializable isolation.

Not with WAL: https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html

> As it is, most Issues are polluted by random support requests, suggestions and open-ended chat which obscures the focus so much that sometimes I just can't tell what they need help with, so I don't bother offering.

Totally agree. They should have some AI solution categorize the issues and separate actual issues/tickets from support requests and other noise.

Additionally, there is now `non-free-firmware`, e.g., http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/non-free-firmware...

One problem I always had with VSCode, is that it seems to fill up its autocomplete suggestions with "near-string-matches" from files all over the project. The jetbrains tools are quite strict in that regard and won't propose random string matches that don't fit semantically.

> That's why TCP (or maybe it's Ethernet?) frames include FEC bytes in their message format.

Neither TCP nor Ethernet provide for forward error correction. Ethernet frames include a 32-bit CRC while TCP segments use the so called "internet checksum".

Tip: Install the IDE inside WSL2. Should also run somewhat faster, especially any operation which has to do with many small files, at the expense of a tiny bit of latency in the GUI.

Sounds very similar to how e.g. docker/layers work - the later you put the more dynamic stuff, the higher the change that previous layers are reused. Meaning the cache entries are likely chained, i.e., each one depends on the preceding entry.

Nonsense. He has a criminal history going back to the early nineties.

Thank you for the link. Made it to level 7 rather easily but level 8 seems to ramp up the difficulty significantly...

I used this text:

At least you had the phantasy to stay within the bounds of the story, although your result is wrong.

Also, Canada is an associated member

That's a good tip. I've got a moto g32 (ca. 130 € new) running LineageOS and am happy with it. Only downside is the CPU which could be a tad faster.

Unlocking the phone's bootloader is also not so easy, because you have to register your phone online and the web page is quite finicky. I had to try with different browsers to get the registration form to work.

Tokenizer is unsafe because the loops are not bounded to the array sizes, 128 and 32 respectively.

Debian maintainer, Julian Klode, has a "pointed" opinion:

> It is our responsibility to our users to provide them the most secure option possible as the default. All of these features are superfluous and do not really belong in a local password database manager, these developments are all utterly misguided.

Exists, just not with rocks. I think the modern versions use heavy metal blocks embedded in carbon fibre.

For me, aptitude showed a bunch of conflicts but when I selected all the required -t64 ones manually, they disappeared. Guess the algorithm is not so great at resolving the changes seamlessly.

Hope that changes until the packets move to stable.

You can give a path to git log, e.g., `git log --follow -- file.txt`

If you'd put some text markers in the file's headers, e.g., `<history></history>`, you could create a script that gets the git log for each file that contains the markers and puts the log between those markers. Keep the markers to be able to rerun the script. Also need a script to purge the log when commiting.

Could be automated with git hooks I guess.

Why Veeam? Proxmox brings a good backup solution already.

The first one is infuriating. That error message is good for nothing. Happens frequently that a colleague does a pull, as instructed, after forgetting to push with force after rebasing or amending a commit.

Faintly remember a discussing on the mailing list where a suggestion to improve it was shot down for some dumb reason.
