recentdarkness··on I built a receipt printer for GitHub issues
All Hail to the air gapped database - At least no one will be breaking into that one that easily.
recentdarkness··on The Fastest FizzBuzz Implementation
interesting for me was the fact, that the author talks about themselves in the third person. Very unusual for some content like this :D
recentdarkness··on Amazon Linux 2022
> The problem I found (on Centos 8) is that audit sometimes denies but nothing is logged

I doubt that. journalctl has always given me something when there was an actual denial. You might just not have looked right

recentdarkness··on Apple Joins Blender Development Fund
First thing that popped into my too
recentdarkness··on Pgloader: A High-Speed PostgreSQL Swiss Army Knife, Written in Lisp
I wanted to use it as well on windows the other day. Because I wanted to migrate a mssql database to PostgreSQL. However AFAIR there were no builds I could find and from what I read in the issues it is quite discouraging, a pity
recentdarkness··on An interactive 19-lesson course to master VSCode's keyboard shortcuts
Doesn't seem to work for me with Chrome on macos - Not sure what's the deal is - It shows me 4 empty rectangles and expects me to do something - potentially in the keyboard input field. However if I press for example CMD + P obviously it tries to print - So it doesn't catch the shortcuts.
recentdarkness··on Show HN: I made a sandbox game to help with financial planning
Mine did when I was working :P
recentdarkness··on PSPad: A freeware programmer's editor for Windows
What do you mean by 'design language'? It was a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, at least as far as I know.

What 'design language' are you speaking off? It was supposed to be HTML in the end (well whatever that meant in those editors :D)

recentdarkness··on Build on Redis Hackathon
This is weird. Czech Republic (Czechia) is not in the list of eligible countries but every other of our neighbours is O.o. Including Slovakia and Austria which both are even smaller countries than Czechia by number of Residents. I wonder why this is.

Edit: Judging by the comment of required business email and gmail for example being blocked, I consider this hackathon somehow with their rules arbitrary and can't consider this to be some kind of fairly judged hackathon for those prices.

recentdarkness··on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta
That’s a big premium over this what? 250 million?
recentdarkness··on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta
Platform python see comment above
recentdarkness··on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta
Actually there is a default python and it’s called platform python. That one lives on purpose in /usr/libexec however is mainly supposed to be used by platform tooling like dnf/yum etc
recentdarkness··on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta
Upgrading from RHEL 6 with GNOME to RHEL 7 was not and still is not supported either ;-)
recentdarkness··on Benchmarking C++ Sets
It is not unfair, and there is a comparison with A sorted vector as well. And the author correctly indicated the reason as of why the sorted vector is performing better than the unsorted vector. The cache friendliness is key. And it shows that for small sizes of elements an array or vector would perform better. It simply depends on your needs.

I would be interested in comparing an stack based array with integers to the sets as well.

recentdarkness··on Only a few vendor-paid developers do almost all open-source work
> it remains hanged without any evidence on those claims.

While I get where you are coming from, give me a counter example/evidence.

My observation of the open source world is pretty much in sync with the generalization of this article. Even if you might find some good counter example it most likely will be the exception to the rule.

recentdarkness··on Show HN: HTTP Status as a Service
https://httpbin.org/ Was exactly my first thought
recentdarkness··on I usually run 'w' first when troubleshooting unknown machines
I don’t I rather run top to see some stats of the system. Mostly I am checking for slow downs and that shows me load mem consumption etc. Diskspace is rarely the case

Most of the time some database connection is laggy

recentdarkness··on Show HN: SSH Permit A38 – Central Managment and Deployment for SSH Keys
Asterix Andy Obelix are big in Germany At least in my childhood:-D But it is French
recentdarkness··on Granular Audio Synthesis
Title should be “Granular Audio Synthesis”

Couldn’t find anything about C++ in that article on a quick scan - feel free to correct me

recentdarkness··on What are we going to do with quantum computers?
Finally a viable platform to mine bitcoin and other crypto currencies
recentdarkness··on Wine 3.0 Released
Why would you even bother burning them when the iso will be just fine? Also I am pretty sure some ffmpeg can probably do the conversation
recentdarkness··on Show HN: Cockpit – create tmux panes and windows with ease
Please try to use a different name this clashes quite with http://cockpit-project.org/

But otherwise it’s a nice tool

recentdarkness··on JavaScript: The Curious Case of null >= 0
I thought so when starting to read this article and seeing > and == cases being false. I guess, with some experience one probably has implemented such logical shortcuts as well themselves. And now I am pretty sure this is a question of backwards compatibility and not anymore easily reversible
recentdarkness··on Bitdefender Anti-Virus: Heap Buffer Overflow via 7z LZMA
Well since I am no longer involved with them for a long time, I can't really say how this all went and what is currently the state.

However this piece is realtively simple to implement on windows so I can only hope they would implement the same thing for avast eventually at least. This is IMHO the only sane way to do scanning without exposing the system to a huge risk

recentdarkness··on Bitdefender Anti-Virus: Heap Buffer Overflow via 7z LZMA
Already years (~7+) ago AVG introduced an out of process scanning implementation that opens the file in question with system rights however transfers the handle to a lower privileged process (restricted with ACLs) that actually performs the actual scan
recentdarkness··on Official support for .NET
One needs to invest $$ because you pay money for the developers time to create software
recentdarkness··on ⁠Btrfs has been deprecated in RHEL
EPEL gets security updates just like fedora does. Packages are usually maintained in the same gut repositories. However there is no guarantee that you will receive security updates as there is no support contract. But you have a similar problem in Debian if the maintainer isn't keeping up
recentdarkness··on Value_ptr – The Missing C++ Smart-pointer
Confusing to me why one would need that except for the pimpl use case, that seems to make sense to me
recentdarkness··on Guy Finds StarCraft Source Code and Returns It to Blizzard
Karma is a ... -- Being honest had always been having its perks for me too
recentdarkness··on PATH_MAX Is Tricky
And to add to the confusion unix domain sockets have a maximal length of something between 92 a 108. That's an implementation detail of platform it's running on. This in particular has been biting me already.
