People don't usually understand that apt allows you to configure multiple sources across versions simultaneously, so you can e.g. run stable, but also selectively install from backports or unstable. To do so, add the sources for trixie

20 years ago, Google made a big deal about how they would do the right thing when "the the" was searched. Oh how things have progressed.

Live patching production kernels makes sense when there is an imminent threat/timeline and rebooting is throttled due to underlying throttling mechanisms that are guarding the health of distributed systems running a-top the systems. He

In the real world, leaving booby traps out that can harm others including the innocent are a liability and regularly a crime in itself. I wonder how long these sorts of games will play before the law applies itself.

FWIW git-branchless, an extension to git, addresses many of these points without leaving git.

IIRC Google has a policy whereby all google3 binaries must be rebuilt within a 6-month window. This allows teams to age-out support for old versions of things, including glibc. grte supports having multiple multiple versions of itself insta

The "runtime" is a google internal distribution of libc + binutils that is used for linking binaries within the monolithic repo, "google3". This decoupling of system libraries from the OS itself is necessary because it o

Given that this strategic reserve is to be built from all the various civil and criminal asset forfeitures, and not actually buying any crypto currency, how exactly is this considered a "wealth transfer"? This is centralizing gove

CSM is required for tools that aren't UEFI enabled. memtest86+ for example can't use a UEFI GOP and requires a BIOS capable VGA. Can't be used with a UEFI-only video card (e.g. recent ryzen igpu). Also, there is still plenty

Wow, 89MB of sphere "data". Why not just use a RNG?

Managed async bulk transfers as-a-service seems relevant to anyone writing lots of data doing multisite including DR. You can easily have this problem and not have yet hit any other scale problems that are addressed by the alluded-to tools

This is mixing up cmd.exe which is the dos-like (but not dos) scripting interpreter, and conhost.exe which is the actual old terminal emulator/console that the kernel would spin up whenever you ran cmd.exe.

It may be cynical, sure. But chosing cheap words to address groups of people is poor form for the speaker nevertheless. If you are addressing others, use better words to describe them. Calling people "folks" all the time is lazy a

I forget where I first heard this, but whenever someone uses the word "folks", you can often replace that word with the word "idiots" and get the actual underlying meaning of the speaker. Now not all speakers using it me

Plants die for lack of CO2. It's their food.

No one has an EV that will last 50 years. They are also not made from renewables. CO2 is plant food, and is a red herring to the energy discussion.

If you consider the consumption of energy required to make an EV versus a die cast combustion engine, you'll see the energy consumption got front loaded.

Cyclic logic that says you're wrong for wanting a stable kernel interface, because the kernel keeps changing so the solution is to just get your code merged into mainline. As a tautology, it's true, but it's also a cover for
