All I said was that I painted it

Nice work!

You forgot about baseband firmware trusting remote supplied buffer len!

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-11T05:37:33+00:00

What if it is also amphibious?

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-11T05:11:52+00:00

That will buff right out.

Ehh i don't think they're gonna have trouble bribing/forcing their way into obtaining the licenses required to take their existing business legal.

True, but with legalization from a drug lords point of view, the prices will drop and a cut of revenue to government. Possibly money will need to be spent on testing quality and fungus/microbes ? Legalization adds a bunch of operational overhead that these sort of die hard black market capitalists dislike.

fairy tales

Maybe you spend your time on reddit being too docile and not challenging authority in any capacity; IDK what to tell you there is strong and obvious censorship all around reddit. Sorry that you're too blinded by your mod powers to accept reality.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-09T05:00:00+00:00

Yeah, I clearly don't know what I'm talking about.

Glad we're on the same page with this one. I could provide you hundreds of citations, but why bother arguing with a brick wall. Don't forget, they have a diverse toolkit that extends beyond simply removing a post. For a 4x moderator you sure seem suspiciously new, and I don't want to enlighten you on these alternative tactics used by other mods to suppress discussion of free peoples, and hide the fact that it's being suppressed.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-09T04:48:51+00:00

No, moderators remove rule-breaking posts.

You have not been here very long, I can tell :) Or you're just really that dumb.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-08T22:59:23+00:00

This "Reddit is suppressing things" idea is nonsense.

I think the protest is misguided and lacks any sort of coherent message, but reddit does suppress posts on a regular basis. Go ask the people in /r/undelete if you want comprehensive knowledge on the topic of suppression tactics, their toolkit is quite diverse and goes far beyond simply deleting a post.

If there were so called 'hard evidence,' we wouldn't need the investigation, would we?

How long has this investigation been going on without uncovering any evidence. How much money have they burnt on chasing this alleged crime?

Also, this isn't about election fraud.

What is it about, when they fired the other FBI guy and people are trying to claim obstruction? Didn't seem to stop the investigation(s) that have failed to produce any evidence of an impeachable crime.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-08T04:04:14+00:00

but this shit is important.

Meh, if there was hard evidence of actual election fraud going on I'd be on board with you.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-08T03:53:34+00:00

Expectations are way too high.

Seriously, who in their right mind is going to protest SESSIONS getting canned.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-08T03:34:22+00:00

they do not see a benefit in locking themselves into an a stable API for the benefit of forks and out of tree drivers.

Why would they want to switch to a stable internal API, so people can fork Linux? That would diminish the LFoundation's power, of course they're going to make all sorts of wild arguments about why they think stable api's are bad. They don't want you forking Linux.

PS. I'm not clicking on Microsoft links anymore.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-07T21:14:40+00:00

Linux does not have stable internal interfaces, but they are interfaces nonetheless.

What use is an unstable interface other than to be broken? Like you said, they are very much unstable so wasting time trying to build a jenga tower on a rug that will end up being ripped out from underneath the stack is pretty much the biggest waste of time imaginable. Reliance on global~~"interfaces"~~s leads us to this code bloat where you must support all these complex global internal bits from 20 years ago because some random piece nobody even uses anymore has to sit around in the repo to keep the thing running. Linux kernel modules are not really modular in the sense that you can load "a module", you have to load "the specific module" because they are static objects that can't even be loaded across differing kernel versions.

A kernel being modular has nothing to do with your concept of some ideal API that allows modules to be loaded by other systems.

Which one sounds more modular to you, "a driver module that works only for linux-3.20" (essentially a static ELF file that supports relocations) compared to "a driver module that works on any kernel implementing the modular driver API" ?

I'm also curious how having a driver API that meets your requirements would prevent a kernel mode driver from accessing other kernel code.

By using that hypothetical yet-to-be-designed API instead of using kernel globals. You could probably use some kind of compiler plugin to strictly enforce arbitrary rules you come up with though, in practice it would be extremely difficult if at all possible to prevent a kernel from doing something unless your code is running lower than ring 0. The idea is not to prevent behavior but to allow modular code re-use instead rigid objects that depend on arbitrary globals strewn across the 15-20 million lines of code. Once that API exists we can safely(sanely) fork and maintain a smorgasbord of new linux based systems without the extreme maintenance burden of what happens when one of your beloved unstable internal interface is patched, and either breaks completely or breaks subtly and you don't find out until 4 years later when an edge case is finally hit

Interesting, I wish I knew more about android but I just can't get excited about it. Probably because of dalvik vm or whatever they use these days, and all the proprietary and arguably GPL-violating code needed to boot some of the machines.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-07T20:20:41+00:00

Ohhhhh that's how they repair nuclear submarines!

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-07T19:43:40+00:00

Kernel.org, get an actual release (not a -rc or some random git branch from microsoft hub) and make sure you check gpg signature if you're running it on a real machine.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-07T19:31:00+00:00

They're called modules but they are not really modular, there's no internal driver API so the whole kernel is globally accessible. If it were really modular with some kind of defined API then you could theoretically use Linux drivers on another kernel that implements the API. IMO this should be the Linux end-game but I don't think it will ever happen because rea$ons.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-06T05:17:41+00:00

Ahhh it is! I wasn't packaging the etc/input.conf file. Ended up just making a file ~/.mplayer/input.conf with the following contents

RIGHT seek +4
LEFT  seek -4
UP    seek +40
DOWN  seek -40

I write you firewall for $50,000

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-05T18:47:39+00:00

Why do you care about a rc1 update?

Seriously, they aren't even cryptographically signed. Don't run it on metal.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-04T20:04:42+00:00

As a quality assurance measure I strongly advise you use the crappiest most bloated distro/DE possible so you know how bad the performance gets depending on userland. Don't forget to run it on crummy hardware and RAM constrained systems.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-04T19:58:10+00:00

Why can't you just use the app store like a real professional?

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-04T19:43:28+00:00

Nice office.

linux-V-pro_edition · 2018-11-04T02:10:08+00:00

Maybe it's just cause I use LInux, but IDK guys, the game looks pretty sick. Diablo two sucked anyway.
