I like this approach. Thank you. Would it work if a user's device that is already connected to the VPN, but has custom DNS override to say 8.8.8.8 ? How can I allow my users to be able to use 8.8.8.8 DNS override and still work seamles

There used to be a Debian Live iso builder website for building custom Debian Live isos. It probably is discontinued, I can't seem to find it anymore.

Only looked at the first two examples. No language can save you when one writes bad code like that.

Doesn't null-pointer-dereference always crash the application? Is it only an undefined-behavior because program-must-crash is not the explicitly required by these languages' specs?

What is the justification to call `Null pointer dereference` as a memory safety issue?

My favorite monospace font is "Ubuntu Mono" for ages. As an engineer, I like to see -- for the lack of better word -- some taste instead of characters being too formal and too symmetric. Ubuntu and Ubuntu-Mono satisfy this to a

Is anyone able to get streaming audio to text conversion working with whisper.cpp? I tried several times to get this into a reasonable shape, but all have been failures. If anyone has pointers I really appreciate it.

I am not a sysadmin -- so I keep forgetting the command to see logs cause I only need it once every 3 months. So, systemd change is a pain for me.

IMO there is another level in between 3 and 4 where config file allows for cross referencing among config values, forming a graph. foo.password = xxx bar.password = yyy wifi.ssid = foo

Yeah, they sure forget their faults fast. The amount of hatred Dems showed openly during 2016 election run was truely something special.

I am working on implement on-disk B+Tree for the last few months. Man, keeping the on-disk state consistent with proper locking is a real challenge -- specially when we want to avoid IO-holding-mutex. And forward/backward iterators mak

Does this support the non-standard key-press, key-release, etc. events proposal by kitty project? They are necessary for nicer terminal UI projects.

Thanks for this information. I wasn't aware that using 64-bit ints makes such a big difference in performance. Thank you.

Golang folks, after looking at the code, I am surprised and don't understand why Go version is slow compared to C/C++/Rust. Can anyone please explain? Thank you.

What are the downsides of just adding new methods on the `Config` structure? func (c *Config) WithFizz(...) {...} func (c *Config) WithBazz(...) {...}

After being through weapons of mass-destruction narrative sold to us by mainstream media to justify the Iraq war, it is very disappointing to see younger Americans parroting every mainstream media narrative, without a question nowadays. I s

A system with shared libraries also needs an update for the security fixes. There is no avoiding the update step. However, the only difference is the size of the update. If update process is robust, size of the update shouldn't mat

Destination port number should be sufficient. For example, imagine if there are two sockets established between server and client processes (due to multiple ips or roaming, time lags, etc.), then in theory, request received from one socket

I did some research and just purchased Thinkpad X1 Nano Gen 9 last week. My Debian Linux setup was fairly easy. I had to drop Macbooks because it's NVMe SSD is soldered and is not upgradable. Thinkpad X1 Carbon is a decent choice, bu
