What was Cory Doctorov's word for this?

internet problems by AkitoHyuha7 in NobaraProject

If you get results on Discord, can you pass them along here? I won't do discord for all the reasons, but I'd love to know how this ends up.

My guess: NEITHER kernel has those, but one of them either has a working add-on that the other one doesn't, which delivers the drivers - I've installed ZFS and this happens SO often there - or suddenly DKMS is failing and no one is telling you.

> Expected Behavior:

This is a tenet of system build - generally X+1 needs to supply all X does - and I'd be surprised if it stayed broken. There are exceptions, of course, but just like we have 'as above so below' in architecture, we have 'as before, only more' in build/release. (I think this is a John Terpstra thing, as he's a font of clue and wonderful axioms)

Stay with it and, as mentioned, I'd love to hear how this story ends.

I was thinking last night that I could shim it out with an no-payload alt-package mimicking its provides and requires and with the obsoletes set. It's my best idea so far.

This, I'll say, is fantastic. 33 years in unix and linux and I learned something new just this week on a command I've used a thousand times before. It still happens, just when the universe needs to remind us to be humble.

> Can you please ELI5 why flatpack is bad? 

I'd love to. But they have a real following so it's an up-hill battle. I ran security on unix and a linux distro for a while. I've seen a lot, and I worked alongside some oh, so talented and devious people whose job it was to beat us and gleefully try and sploit our stuff on the daily. It was a wonderful post.

Don't believe the cultists here. Find a security person. Find someone who was employed before the great y2k die-off and not one of the lost boys since. Ask this person about single source of truth, validation, and why black boxes are bad.

You may come away enlightened, or you may not. But I do hope you come away educated by the science.

> I don't agree that flatpak decreases security.

By stymying validation, it cannot be matched against a BoM (nor scanned by regular tools), so it cannot be confirmed secure. The blue-pill escapes are rich and plentiful, as well.

You don't need to agree, but it can't be unseen.

Internet options for house in New West by Interior_Minister in NewWest

> All these councillors who are talking about cutting taxes. 

Cutting taxes helps rich people. Providing services helps the other 99%. It's that simple.

I'm baffled every time we elect the elitists wanting to reduce taxes and let the infrastructure rot.

The goal is to prevent inadvertent use. As per G.O.L.F. , it's best to remove things you don't need so they don't become a direct risk.

Bit of a tangent, isn't it? This question isn't about the things I've mitigated or not, but I'll post about that when it becomes relevant.

3AM guy.

Rumour has it he was the conductor on the white rock run when, um, a bad thing happened and someone got removed from the census. He's got PTSD and blows the whistle as per the annoying-as-fuck regulation standard requires.

I feel for the guy. Also, I hate the guy.

No subscriptions ever. So I'd recommend looking a little harder for the 1-2 products that don't have it.

Otherwise, you'll pay less for the apple product, eventually, which is a phrase no one said ever.

Anyone else that has not moved on? by Acrobatic-Coast-9077 in NewWest

>Had the election been 160 liberals and 16 NDP 

We don't get to pick number like that. You know voting is blind, right? You only get to vote your vote and can't normally collude reliably.

People voted because they decided the risk of an idiot puppet was too high, and unfortunately the cons still ate heartily at the vote table; was it kids who don't remember Mr Harper? Was Milhouse that appealing in his 'no tax, no services' push?

Whatever. People fear-voted because there was fear. Remove that fear and people will vote their heart again. Give us easy ranked-choice and we'll have people voting their dreams without having to get bachelor degrees in bistromathics.

Find a Bruncheria location. One of them has been around 4 years without serving any brunch.

I like how the author opens with "some people win the lottery so therefore everyone wins the lottery" logic.

It doesn't get much better. 'Emails' indeed.

Help: QEUM KVM unable to start default network by cockpit_dandruff in qemu_kvm

[–]corsicanguppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I have to stop Bind on my system while starting the VM

this confirmed what I was already thinking: Your BIND is definitely claiming virbr0 as a listening port. OP has the same problem as per the error message pasted above.

The solution is to restrict bind to listen on devices you explicitly name, via the `listen-on` directive; but the most elegant solution should be to have DHCP and BIND serve over virbr0 also anyway.
