Idk hopefully this is a good thing, but it’s crazy that they’re reviewing a review at this point. The whole point of the Cass Review was to provide a justification for banning trans care, but everyone has to play these games and pretend likes it’s actual science.
What do you mean by a file being displaced? Like do you want it to be unreadable, or unmodified, or just not deleted?
It’s not really possible to have a level of protection that would require more than sudo because with root access you bypass anything else.
You could put the files on an encrypted volume that uses a special password when it is mounted. Or you could use the chattr command to set special ext4 attributes that would make it unmodifiable (but could be removed with sudo). Or just record the file’s hash, and that way you know it hasn’t been modified later.
It seems like that port needs to be accessible from the public Internet. Your local computer probably has at least one more firewall between it and the Internet, running on your router. You need to also forward the port on your router, which is what it says in the second half of the guide.
I’ve been using Wayland for 5 years. There were a few bugs in the beggining, but now it works great. These threads are such a waste of time.
I have over 100 confirms X11 developments
That’s great dude. Why don’t you go maintain it then, apparently nobody else wants to: https://www.phoronix.com/news/RHEL10-Removing-X.Org
Wayland took too long
Look up how long btrfs has been in development, or at audio subsystem churn. These things take time, because it’s mostly volunteers working on them.
Systemic complexity has doubled in the last two years
What does this even mean?
Mir was better
It turns out the Canonical dumping random stuff over the wall is not the same as creating a legitimate open source community around a project.
Unfixable amount of race conditions
As if there’s never been a synchronization bug in X… But also System76 and others are writing Wayland compositors on Rust anyway.
I mean xwayland is the best supported X implementation today, and will only get better. You’re not ditching everything when you maintain backwards compatibility.
I think that it’s a great project, and I hope it succeeds. My sense is that there is more momentum around Nix, so for a lot of uses it just makes more sense.
Guix and Nix both have the same issue imo, which is using a loosely typed language with an odd syntax. I feel like something both strongly typed and with a more common syntax would be easier to edit and faster to evaluate.
yeah if you’re using unstable than it’s rolling release and you just need to update regularly. the point releases shouldn’t matter too much
You need to update your inputs so that you’re using the 23.11 branch of nixpkgs instead of the old one. In my experience, a couple of things will break, but there’s usually warnings about it.
Very few people do, you probably don’t need to worry about it
As a big Linux fan, it makes me said that Wine needs to exist. But, maybe it’s not such a bad thing. Linux is just a kernel, with no associated libraries for app developers. App devs don’t want to manually write system calls, so it’s always been the case thar they lick and choose which set of libraries to target for their Linux apps. A popular low level choice is the GNU standard C library, and a popular high level choice is the GTK/GDK/Gnome stack. But these aren’t the only choices. I mean you can use the MUSL standard C library if you want. You can choose between OpenGL, Vulkan, and WGPU for graphics already.
I see Wine and Proton as just being another set of standard apis to target. Maybe they don’t have the best design, but is traditional Unix really the best design either? Now the Valve and company are supporting Wine, it’s one of the Linux targets with the most actual developers. And of course it has a huge advantage over the glibc + Vulkan stuff: it retains binary compatibility forever.
This is not possible. A socks proxy forwards tcp connections over another TCP connection. A wireguard vpn sends encrypted generic IP packets over udp. A socks proxy can’t understand the types of things wireguard sends.
However, you could just install wireguard on both your vps and your phone, and you probably wouldn’t even need the proxy. If your VPS is hosted by a big public cloud provider, be aware that many sites restrict incoming traffic from known up ranges because public cloud vms often used by spammers.
asked if I knew anything about computers
lol you got profiled. nice that you could help her tho
Skill issue, I finished a CS degree with vim
Ok probably your best option is a used Thinkpad, or maybe a Chromebook with the Chromebook distro, but if you want to do something crazy you could try the Pinebook Pro. It’s a 14" arm laptop that comes with debian for $220. You might need some accessories, but it would still be <$400 for something new and interesting. However, it’s a bit slow, and arm doesn’t have as much software support. I think it could do everything a CS student needs, except browsing may be slow because web apps are so absurdly big and complicated now. Definitely would get more than 5 hours of battery.
Didn’t know about that one, thanks!
If you want to accept a user input of any length, you have to read the input piece by piece and allocate a new buffer if the original becomes full. Basic steps would be:
malloc to make a char * buffer\0 to your buffer and break the loop. You’re done!memcpy to copy the stuff from the old buffer to the new one. Use free to get rid of the old buffer.This will work until you fill the entire memory of your computer. You should probably set a max length and print an error if it is reached.
It boosts faster tho, so for average usage it might be fine. It just will have trouble with anything that requires sustained use, which for me would probably just be compiling code or games, things I wouldn’t try to do on a tablet.
That’s an incredible price for 16gb of memory and a 512 ssd. Would be an upgrade from my 14" laptop. I just hope I don’t have to wait multiple years to get it.
Yes, it will get better over time. You are using an entirely new operating system. Things are different, but aren’t that hard to learn.
My big tip for installing Linux is to use the package managers when possible. Every distro comes with at least one package manager, which can install many pieces of software. On Ubuntu, there are two: snap and apt. (Yes, this is confusing. Canonical is trying to change the way they package software, and it has made their distro harder to use).
Also, what kind of software are you installing that requires different permissions or ports? If you’re trying to set up servers you many be better off with a different approach.
This article is an analysis of a recent global event, speculation of the probable cause, and some discussion of the broader implications. It makes perfect sense to be in world news.
You seem to have had a strong emotional reaction to the suggestion that the US might have helped Israel carry out a particular ttack on another country. We’re you aware that this happens literally every day?
