Being able to select desktops/workspaces per screen is half the solution. The other half is allowing the selection to come from a pool of desktops/workspaces common to all screens. i.e. the opposite of what i3 and Sway do. So give

I've longed for a window manager that can assign different virtual desktops to different screens. Of course, there are compositing, scaling and resolution issues to overcome, but it'd be really neat to have a palette of virtual de

I can't find any docs other than what's on the page but my reading suggests that the idea is that you can get/set values "in-band" using a regular lookup query to a resolver rather than the nsupdate style that you&#

There is still Hesiod support in GlibC / NSS, etc on most modern systems. When put together with Kerberos it's a nice way to provision auth on lots of machines automatically. It's nice to have a dedicated and restricted resol

If you have hypervisor access you can simply ask the guest to read the memory for you.

Encryption only helps if you can guarantee that your attacker can't get access to the layer below where the runtime decrypts things. A cloud hack like the parent poster talks about assumes that you get access to the hypervisor layer an

Mutually Assured Destruction relies on the victim knowing that they've been destroyed. Lots of these so-called "Cyber weapons" are operated by actors who are very effective at leaving no trace. It's been in the backgroun

I think this outlook is very much part of the reason that Britons are worried about Facebook's move to Californian terms. In the UK we do have very well established "Consumer Law" which is there explicitly to protect the cons

You're not strictly wrong... But what I'm trying to say is that what's in your database should be well defined. You shouldn't just put any old stuff in there. You should have a standard for exactly how everything is esca

This will allow your program to be used as a vector to attack the things your program depends on. It's true that those bits of eMail infrastructure are probably more robust but it's still strictly bad practice. Even if you're

I usually put a few paths in between "find" and "-type", use the other predicates of "find" and often rewrite if from a just executed `find ... | grep`. One particular modification is to extend the pipeline bet

`find |grep -i ...` and `find -type f |xargs grep -i ...` have become old favourites. This seems like an interesting system, provided you don't have more categories than you can easily remember. If you use it in a team setting, there m

Reading between the lines, I assume that it's because Red Hat / IBM own that trademark and they've decided to stop using it for that project. In principle, there's no reason why another-CentOS couldn't come about in
