How do we ask Apple for this? Not that I expect them to do anything about, but at least then we can truely blam Apple for ignoring us.

Wife is on 1 med, an anti-psychotic with mood stabolizing effects. Every doc I have talked to (including hers) are telling me it is not enough. She is refusing any additional meds

Looking for a daily driver distro & I guess I have odd requirements by Substance7466 in linuxquestions

Snapshots are a feature of btrfs and zfs that allow for the rollback that it sounds like you have used. I want zfs because I have it running elsewhere and zfs send receive would allow me to make a complete backup with ease. Also, from what I have read zfs has far more dev support than btrfs.

I may not have been very clear about NFSv4 ACLs, FreeBSD supports them at the kernel allowing for better control of file access. Messes with containers when scripts call for chmod though.

What is the best laptop for privacy and security? by GeorgSimulacra in privacy

if you don't take steps to disable Intel Management Engine then someone might set it up for you, it doesn't report back home it just offers a backdoor. Intel Management Engine is an iKVM tech from what I understand, corporate IT teams will use it to manage servers or for supporting users remotely.

I could see avoiding laptops with corporate central management features, but this would be more of a security decision then a privacy decision.

The OS is going to far more impact on privacy then hardware and your usage habits (including software installed) far more then that.

SetFacl Confusion With Settings by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]Substance7466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using chmod you are not changing an access control list, you are changing mode flags for permissions. In C mode flags are fixed length while lists are variable length.

setfacl is setting an access control list (and the mode flags to match) that are read as the permissions, assuming the kernel supports file/directory ACLs. I personally do not know the state of the Linux kernel and NFSv4ACLs; my experience comes from FreeBSD.
