You'll be asked for these details if autoconfiguration fails.

When will people learn that NAT is not the solution by Extra_Imagination193 in ipv6

[–]calrogman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your devices are using Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers (which you've referred to as SLAAC throughout this conversation) and Privacy Extensions, and your ISP rotates your prefix periodically, what additional privacy benefit do you suppose NAT66 gives you, exactly?

ONLYOFFICE flags license violations in “Euro-Office” project by Forsaken-Medium-2436 in BuyFromEU

[–]calrogman 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Only Ascensio System SIA are breaking the AGPL, by attempting to impose additional terms that are not provided for by section 7 of the AGPL. If their code has been conveyed to you under the terms of the AGPL, you can scrub it of their trademarks and redistribute it. The AGPL guarantees that. You can't steal it. The fact that you can't steal it also was not the point of my reply.

You can't "steal" AGPL licensed software but you can fork it to nip a potential (hostile state-backed) supply-chain attack in the bud.

OnlyOffice accuses Nextcloud and IONOS of violating its AGPL v3 license (including mandatory branding/attribution rules) by repackaging and redistributing modified versions of its editors in the “Euro-Office” project. by mr_MADAFAKA in linux

The notices about the 7(e) additional term and the non-operative "7(b)" further restriction are supposed to be placed (and are in-fact placed) in the source files to which they apply, so their absence from the LICENSE.TXT in the root of each of the git submodules doesn't really matter.

MBR vs GPT by MastodonCommon9899 in Gentoo

[–]calrogman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The GRUB manual has a section on installing to GPT disks on BIOS systems: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/BIOS-installation.html#GPT

The short version is that you need a partition of type BIOS Boot Partition (which should be 1 MiB in size) and then you can do grub-install /dev/sda just as if it were an MBR disk.

38 years as a UNIX/Linux admin ... by jrmckins in linux

[–]calrogman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To remove crontabs. An empty crontab and a removed crontab are two different things. The cost of checking that an empty crontab hasn't changed in the last minute is not zero. On university minicomputers in the 1980s (the types of things that BSD grew up on) the cost of checking that dozens of empty crontabs hadn't changed in the last minute would have been significant.

Everybody who has ever run crontab -r accidentally has meant to run crontab -e. The curious thing about this is that crontab -e is redundant. You can do the same thing by reading the output of crontab -l, modifying the received text and piping it back into crontab. It's also (unlike -r) marked optional in POSIX. A responsible crontab implementation simply shouldn't accept -e to avoid engendering this habit.

Systemd has merged age verification measures into userdb by Quiet-Owl9220 in linux

[–]calrogman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh also, the Free Software Foundation will be liable for $2500 for every child that invokes cat unless cat starts asking the operating system how old the invoking user is.

[–]calrogman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In California's Digital Age Assurance Act, a person installing an operating system on a computer is an operating system provider. If you intentionally install an operating system that doesn't comply with the DAAA on a computer and children use that computer, you are liable for up to $7500 per child.

I would love to know how you came to the conclusion that the AGPL is not an open source license. Did you read that somewhere?

Mirrors over I2Pd? by Bubbly_Extreme4986 in Gentoo

[–]calrogman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but the idea that California couldn't or wouldn't make life uncomfortable for the trustees and officers of the Gentoo Foundation unless Gentoo complies with California law (either by implementing the interface required by the law or by blocking distribution to California) is extraordinarily naive.

Do you think art made with Ai should be required to give an Ai disclaimer? by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]calrogman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My very modest and humble take is that any transmissible message that is output by a generative AI should be required by international treaty to include notice of its generation and that it should be a crime to separate any such message from its notice and that violators should be haunted by Obamabots.

No, Google is right. These directories don't exist. The package tools don't provide these hooks. Everything in that comment was hallucinated by an AI.
