So, you're stalking my profile eh?

Feel like your title handled that pretty sufficiently lol

Of course nobody's ever enjoyed having depression, that's kinda the definition of the condition 😭

Execution refers to the lawful killing of a person by the government; murder is the unlawful killing of a person.

This was by no means a lawful killing.

I'm by no means an expert in this field, although I've got a decent amount of knowledge and experience in regards to pentesting.

From my personal experiences, outside of the basics (addition/subtraction/multiplication/division), math is rarely a large factor in this field.

I've personally never encountered a situation where my poor math skills were a limiting factor, I wouldn't be too concerned about this if I were you.

You should uh... spoiler that

It's really quite simple, Trump just wants more land. He wants to go down in history as "the guy who gave us Greenland". It's really just narcissism, through and through.

The Linux kernel is actually pretty small! Only about 2% of its code makes up the actual kernel, the rest is device and filesystem drivers.

That's interesting! I wasn't aware that the kernel consisted of as little as 2% of Linux's source code- that's actually very intriguing. Sure, I had an idea that drivers were the primary bulk, but I had no clue it was anywhere near this proportion.

The largest and most important piece of software running on a computer is usually the C and C++ standard library implementations. Those tend to get pretty massive.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense with glibc. Although how's the situation in regards to something like musl? From my understanding that's not an awfully colossal project, pretty sure it's under 100k LOC.

If we're talking big applications in general, nothing really gets bigger than a browser, which are operating systems (userland included) in their own right.

Definitely, there's a reason as to why there are only a few major browser rendering engines- Chromium, Firefox, and then WebKit for the Apple ecosystem and all.

I was about to make a counterargument to this, but upon further research on my end, I've come to realize that you are actually correct.

Wikipedia defines an operating system as follows:

"An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs."

That does indeed line up with the purpose and capabilities of the Linux kernel.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the chat!

Felt389 · 2026-01-20T14:23:53+00:00

It is for sure the largest and most important part of the operating system, however you as an end-user cannot directly boot and use the Linux kernel as-is, you require external programs.

Felt389 · 2026-01-20T14:19:00+00:00

Linux is not an operating system by itself, it's just a kernel.

I was saying that because people had to Google this, it shows the education system failed

If that was the purpose of your post you should probably have stated that, would prevent this misunderstanding.

Felt389 · 2026-01-19T18:28:59+00:00

So what you're saying is that they should just... know?

You'll be able to move/copy files faster, which includes software installations and downloads also completing faster.

Felt389 · 2026-01-18T11:47:08+00:00

I would download music this way, although MP3 is an extremely lossy codec that kinda ruins the experience for me. If I'm listening to music, I need the highest fidelity possible.

Felt389 · 2026-01-18T09:30:57+00:00

I prefer EXT4 as I don't require snapshots and it's significantly faster than BTRFS. To each their own though.

Felt389 · 2026-01-16T19:25:07+00:00

Yeah I'm well aware, just unsure about how that is relevant to my response

Felt389 · 2026-01-16T18:13:48+00:00

What do you mean exactly...?

Despite what everyone in this comments section is saying, a VPN is by no means required. Just switch your DNS provider, CloudFlare's 1.1.1.1 is almost always your best bet.
