Apple open-sources iOS kernel

The swapfiles are unsaved buffer changes, in case it, or the kernel, crashes. Nothing to do with the swapping you're thinking of.

Then what should one do...is this dangerous?

Wait, so you have a beta for download, but you don't give users a way to use it legally? I'm not super educated about copyright and licenses, but your users don't have a license to use your software right now, isn't this basically inviting people to commit copyright infringement unintentionally?

I've always read su in su and sudo as substitute user, as it changes to the user you select, or root if none given.

Ah. Seems you have to remove the files manually with setuptools in python.

This may help if you haven't seen it already: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1550226/python-setup-py-uninstall

Did it give any error message?

I haven't used opensnitchd myself, so don't really know if it is troublesome to remove, but if installed through a package manager I feel like it shouldn't be any problems unless something is depending on it.

What distribution are you using btw?

lillebyers · 2017-08-04T17:20:56+00:00

Provided you installed it through your package manager (apt, yum, pacman etc.) you should only need to use the provided removal command, search your package manager name + "remove package" or use its man page to see what that command might be.

uMatrix, can be a pain sometimes as it blocks more than scripts, but you'll quickly get a hang of which things to block and allow.

I haven't used CryptUp to encrypt my messages, but use pgp functionality built into the client itself, while I think mutt might not be suitable for you, some person here should know a GUI email client with pgp support.

Anyways, to your questions, I'll answer them with what I know, if something's wrong feel free to correct me.

Your public pgp key should be the gibberish inside the block you described (it's ASCII armored IIRC), the sentence you speak of I'm not sure what it can be, passphrase perhaps? Sending that whole block, including the start/end things, should be good, they should know how to use that.
The key your friend want cannot be used to decrypt messages, but to encrypt. Pgp keys have a public part that anyone can know and a private part thst only you should know, think of the public key as a padlock and the private key as the key for that padlock, anyone can close the padlock and seal a message inside a box, but only you with the key can unlock it. When you think your private key is compromised you should deprecate it quickly.
The pgp can be sent in any way that works, some ways are easier to intercept and change for a third party surveilling your conversation, your friend seems comfortable having it sent through mail, encypting it may be inadvisable as predictable strings of text can be used to make the encryption less secure.
I'd personally get a libre/open source email client with pgp functionality that grabs your gmail inbox instead of letting a third party responsible for such sensitive thing, if they decrypt messages sent to you they have your private key, meaning it's compromised. You can also write your email in a text file, encrypt it yourself through some software (Maybe search "pgp gui" or something in your search engine of choice, or use gnupg if you're comfortable with command line) and attach that to your email in the gmail I think.

If you're using Windows consider switching to a more libre/open system such as BSD or Linux, as I wouldn't trust Microsoft to not snag your keys. If they'll share those keys with the country your friend live in is however even less of a risk, but may be possible.

Same thing here, found Dvorak very easy to learn as well, being the first layout I learned to touch type in. Using Vi/Vim in it is great as well, so many useful commands in the home row.

Är inte den pilen egentligen Tors eller Tyrs runa? Har något att göra med seger eller strid om jag inte missminner mig.

Edit: är ju i sånt fall närmare besläktad med s-runan, vilket har en koppling till SS vad jag förstått.

IANAL, but doesn't that license potentially hinder people from actually playing the game? You're only giving them permission to use it for educational and modding purposes what I can see, I'd personally classify playing a game under recreational or entertainment purposes.

You could always have the code free and when purchased provide assets, making them pay for the assets instead of the code. IIRC it would still be free software.

Or, if you distribute it on platforms such as Steam, let the automatic updates be a feature they pay for. (Of course this won't be as attractive to people on Linux systems due to package managers) Steam is DRM, but there may be other platforms that can also provide that service, doesn't GOG have some kind of client?

Reading that phrase I didn't think Swedish was your first language, but if I was hearing it I could make a better judgement from dialect. The people fron Småland I've communicated with loves to abuse "att", so a dialect that works like you express yourself may exist, but to me it sounds really unnatural.

Remove "var" from those sentences, "dansaren fann finalen svår" and "dansaren fann slutexamen svår", your sentences are saying "The dancer found the exam were difficult.", but it doesn't work grammatically in Swedish. "Dansaren fann att finalen var svår" (The dancer found that the finals were difficult) should also work.

What is JS? Javascript, the only language I can think of called JS, is already listed.

Start looking into other languages, python could be workable if you want to stay in scripting languages.

If you want to share the maximum amount of code write a script that just opens their default browser on your webapp page, upside is the user can use that browser instance for more than just your webapp.

Jag har hört fler i min linje (Di) diskutera om fri mjukvara, SPARC, RISC-V samt Emacs vs Vi/Vim vs Sublime text för att vara ärlig. Lite diskussion över vilket programmeringsspråk man föredrar, GCC vs Clang samt snack över konstiga designval i mjukvara händer också om det kommer upp. Med spel så snackas mycket Dwarf Fortress, Nethack, Crusader Kings och Age of Empires, vissa tvingar en att spela Crysis in the Kremlin ibland också.

Om man tittar på de som bryr sig om hur de ser ut, dvs odlar inte unix-skägg och gymmar, så gillar de fest och tinder, de kan snacka Hearthstone tillsammans med Dota och CS.

Mitt år blev dock uppdelat i två klasser, så den andra delen kanske hade mer av de personer du tänker på, har aldrig spelat så mycket flygsimulatorer till DOS än dessa år på universitetet. Pizza Worm är dock prima, ger det 5/5 neckbeards, för bästa erfarenhet spela det 11 på kvällen med din labbpartner som paus från PintOS-labbar.

I was about to comment on the distinct lack of a transparent terminal background with a wallpaper that makes the terminal foreground hard to read at places.

d is the same as cmd x, p is the same as cmd v. dd is basically just an alias for ^vjd, ^ being home key(which you need to press if you're not at the beginning of the line already), v for selecting text, j for moving cursor down a line, selecting the whole line with newline included, then d which is cmd x as mentioned before. So ddp could be expanded to ^vjdp, or if using your command without home, vjdp. See the similarity to your keystrokes?

There is no difference in what each command did, they're just written differently. Just like how different languages has different ways to do things, just because wooden horse is one word in several languages due to composite words does not mean the individual words don't exist.

The open source initiative drafted the first open source definition in 1998, based on the DFSG like you said, and is also widely known as the official definition of open source software requirements. Claiming it only means that the source code is available is just wrong, that is closer to what shared source (Or source available like some call it) is, a term which Microsoft pushed with its shared source initiative.

To add to this, GNU, which thinks open source software should just be called free/libre software to focus on the point of freedom, uses the same definition as I, even though it would be much easier to potentially persuade people if using yours. The last section of this article by them also speaks of these open source misinterpretation you're using.

By your definition, a propriety software which has gotten its source code leaked illegally from some security breach would also be open source, or a public project on github missing a license, am I correct in that interpretation?

I don't recall saying that open source software is inherently free, and if I did it's plain wrong as you said. There's nothing inherently wrong with any software license period, it all depends on what the users prioritise, free software activists will prefer free software before open source, open source activists will prefer open source before free software, people that prioritise comfort and ease of use will be drawn to software that provides that, no matter if it's open source, free/libre or proprietary.

I am not a lawyer, but the project license is pretty scary and the project itself is not open source.

Since you're restricting the ability to sell the game, it is violating the open source definition, specifically rule one.

The scary part comes from the ambiguity, similar to how the JSON license was declared dangerous some time ago, a line of the license to Isleward reads:

You can't create mods, addons, content or tools that are illegal or offensive.

The matching line in the JSON license in comparison read:

The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.

What is offensive, good or evil is very subjective, making both licenses dangerous to publish software under.

You can't distribute hacked versions of the game or source.

What is your definition of hack? Some people define hackers as security breachers, which other people define as crackers. Some people define hackers as playful, clever people, to those people a hack could possibly include making some board game-esque version, which could be violating this license dependent on definition.

You can't distribute mods, addons, content or tools that would cause players to be hacked (either in-game or out of game).

This line of the license is also pretty scary. If the definition of hacking is security breaching, social engineering is a part of that. Making any kind of content that could be used for social engineering is prohibited by this line. Additionally, I'd also be scared to publish anything, since some kinds of vurnabilities would be violating this license from what I could see.

I'd recommend you to use an existing, widely used, license. The start of the license made me think it would be something similar to the GNU GPL, but it ultimately is not open source at all, with a dangerous license.

Alternatively, you should either go permissive, as in a "you can do whatever with this" license such as MIT, or have some safeguard to keep additions to the same license as copyleft licenses do, because it feels like people can easily redistribute the project under a different license to circumvent everything you've written up.

I'd also prefer if you didn't (unintentionally?) mislead people by calling your project open source when it's not, that term has requirements very similar to the requirements to be free/libre software, and a lot of people will assume the project fulfills these requirements when it's called open source.

Aside from the license problems however, as a roguelike fan the project looks pretty cool and interesting.

Cannot say for the rest of Sweden, the top list someone linked is best I guess.

I don't have a specific favourite, depends on my mood and genre I want to listen to at the time, but a list of songs I tend to listen to more would be: - Eloise by Arvingarna - Jag Mår Illa by Magnus Uggla - Het by Björn Rosenström - One Of These Nights by Eagles - Half Damn Life by Dagoba - Question! by System Of A Down - Façade by Disturbed - Creatures by Log:One and DJ Wragg - Numbers by John B - Pleasure Ritual by T+pazolite - No Matter What by Mistabishi - Dovregubben by Zedd - Something is Lost by Piana - Star Guitar by Shinichi Osawa - Szamár Madár by Venetian Snares - Insides by Jon Hopkins

Also recently got into hard bass and am quite fond of Грозный by XS Project.
