But the stuff that carries TCP is IP. That's why TCP can work seamlessly, because it uses identification from a previous layer. Consider I bind a server to an ID, and not IP:port, the operating system running it must know how to commun

Yeah it's a shortsighted plan. How would i set up rules on firewall if I don't know how to distingush the connections?

I don't think is wise even if you had written guarantees from their state via the business, because how your state might look at it. It's a war, things have changed.

Absolutely no. If a line of code belongs in a project with one file and a main() function, the presumption of impact of that code line on overall code paths is trivial. If that line of code belongs in a library procedure used by a million L

Never. Individuals with that kind of mutation have to be born per random chance, and then selected via sexual preference.

Why would systemd unit files matter for FreeBSD? FreeBSD has its own rc system and its own ports and packages and maintainers. If and when some major software starts lagging behind the upstream because of runtime issues, then it's time

Answer to question - yes, and more. Jails+rctl (available since 2012) is not cgroups it's cgroups+SELinux+APParmor. Vanilla linux container is not a security barrier, vanilla FreeBSD jail is. In practice this means more seamless '

Tricky? Checking if you're bound to TTY is trivial, checking whether you have a parent is trivial, checking whether interactive shell is somewhere in the tree is trivial, having some if's in signal handlers is trivial, etc. Beside

Romhacking by refactoring disassembly is something that most experienced (decade+) developers do for a grand project lasting years. You'd rather start here https://www.romhacking.net/games/884/ and read a rom

Supermicro gave us same type of assistance. Then new feature of bifurcation did not work correctly. Without it, enterprise telecommunications peripheral that costs 10x more than 4 socket Xeon motherboard can't run at nominal speed, and

Not only that, reddit hive mind is plain wrong in most of the cases. Plus in number of occasions the "le reddit investigation", "we did it reddit" excrement caused real-world issues for people that they were targeting, a

Unix terminology is older. FD is a kernel-user interface based on integer map. HANDLE is a typedef'd pointer. Apples vs oranges.

Curious how different a long time FreeBSD user feels. I have a strong distaste for anything not nvidia. Official nvidia drivers have been added to FreeBSD repository 21 years ago. I can't count the number of different types of drivers

When those "informational" sites were normal 15 years ago, browser like Opera had user-CSS that you could just override, and had a number of presets. You could format the site to look like C64 BASIC. The stuff you're talking

How is this any different than rendering PDF in browser? PDF is not a Web standard. Browsers choose to ship internal plugin to handle PDF.

by zare_st 3y ago
PDF is done via an internal plugin. Standards compliant web browser doesn't have to do anything with PDF. Major browsers have internal type handler for PDF. Similar type handler is engaged with XML. Unless you can utilize W3C standards

Agreed... but not what I was talking about. HTTP has no files or extensions, it's just URL that someone named dot something. Since it doesn't have to be that file type behind, I don't expect it to.

How many hypertext formats apart from HTML are supported without plugins on major browsers? Asking genuinely, I don't know, but it's an important fact to take into account if you're planning ahead.

This is somewhat stupid from my angle (the W3C recommendation). I don't expect that url.html is a static html file. I expect it to be server-side generated in 2024. For me site.com/page and site.com/page.html are the same. I

Which is exactly my point. The question isn't whether Dyson speheres radiate, the question is can we detect an artificial megastructure and my answer is no, based on the hypothetical Dyson design.

by zare_st 3y ago
Because the topic isn't about heat per se but heat signatures and detecting artificial heat signatures across the universe. Of course everything radiates heat I did not think I have to get down to that level in commenting here.

by zare_st 3y ago
A hypothetical megastructure Dyson's sphere would not radiate heat. And I'm not so sure that you can apply the stealth principle here. Stealth inhibits active measurement and astronomical measurements are passive. We have sensor r

Practical thing is not having to recompile 3rd party drivers (vbox ko) every time kernel gets upgraded. Tho DKMS tries to take care of that without admin intervention, it's not always bug free. On the other side VirtualBox the software

Yeah a lot has changed since then. We had to keep track of stable branch to get close to Linux desktop features most of the time, sometimes even 'current' branch. Today you can use release for 99.9% of use cases, and upgrading rel
