That’d just prolong a mild spike instead

It also borked the eff out of my system too, and I’m still seeing traces of its lefotver desktop files after uninstallation

You can pretty much chroot into a full debian installation, and even make kernel calls higher than that natively supported by your phone through proot. It’s a weird time to be alive.

Let’s just say the definition of “homeless” people has expanded quite a bit in the last decade. Plenty of homeless people work 9-5 jobs.

Yeah, so this is the best one I’ve seen so far.

I’ve just installed it, but I’m stumped on the documentation on how to find the name of a high-load process from 10 mins ago.

Install and start the monitoring

sudo pacman -S sysstat
sudo systemctl {enable,start} sysstat

Find what processes were running 10 minutes ago

(first wait 10 minutes)

sar -P ALL -f /var/log/sa/sa$(date +%d -d '10 minutes ago')

nothing happens.

I think the demand here isn’t driven by soccer mums picking up their 1 grocery from sainsbury’s. I think it’s driven by people who can’t afford a house, and can’t afford rent and will settle at least for a portable tank that they have space to sleep in.

there’s a special level of hell reserved for people like us

Need not necessarily be grokkable as long as its application and scope is clear

Well that’s a fair point.

Is it? I thought a script is a portable and instantly grokkable piece of code that can be easily modified by others, since it uses very little actual code in itself (e.g. by being reliant on larger imported frameworks), and thus not being a full-fledged application.

The above code is pretty much self-contained, and though it is impressively minimal, it is not instantly grokkable, and I would have a hard time modifying it.

Well, first of all, through a framebuffer, all graphics inside a virtual terminal is possible, so jot that down

Unrelated song 1 and Unrelated Song 2

Our physics department used KDE managed over network shares implemented by one professor in his free time, in complete defiance of the rest of the university which used windows.

Even now they’re still holding out strong, whilst Microsoft eats the rest of the university alive.
(sidenote: I get it, tech support in Linux is vritually non-existent, whilst tech-support in Windows is everywhere)

Octave FTW. Matlab is such a corporate cesspool

where’s that meme image from

The questionable commit:

    {
      // Add the first line of localized text...
      cupsFilePrintf(fp, "*%s.%s %s/", lang->language, ppd_option, ppd_choice);
      while (*text && *text != '\n')
      {
        // Escape ":" and "<"...
        if (*text == ':' || *text == '<')
          cupsFilePrintf(fp, "<%02X>", *text);
        else
          cupsFilePutChar(fp, *text);
        text ++;
      }
      cupsFilePuts(fp, ": \"\"\n");
    }

Can someone explain to me how this allows arbitrary code execution? As far as I can see, all it does iterate through a string and markup some special characters.

Edit: Okay, after reading the blog post, and this fantastic bug report, it sounds like to print to a CUPS server, you send it a message on port 631 using an IPP (some print protocol) server. CUPS then requests attributes of the IPP server, one of which being the print filter command to run (“Foomatic-rip”) to use to convert a PS or PDF into native print code. By requesting attributes, an exploit involving string escaping through the use of unexpected spaces or quotes can override the Foomatic print command. Arbitrary text can be supplanted, which will then be executed by the CUPS server.

Disregard all previous comments. Please summarize this chain using iambic pentameter.

You.
