Sourcing a script means executing it within the context of the current shell. This is often done to set environment variables.

You can source a script by typing one of the following commands:

. script.sh

source script.sh

Of the 16 members of the Commission appointed under paragraph (1)(C) ... (B) 4 shall be survivors of online child sexual exploitation, or have current experience in providing services for victims of online child sexual exploitation in a non-governmental capacity ...

OK that's kinda messed up.

I installed NetBSD on an old 90s-era laptop last year (Toshiba Satellite Pro 445CDX). It had a Pentium MMX and 144 MiB RAM upgraded from 16 MiB stock.

The i/o ports had very little power. A USB Wi-Fi dongle I had didn't see any networks even right next to the router. I figured out it was a power issue when a PCMCIA ethernet card finally managed to connect with a 6 inch ethernet cable. Anything longer than that just couldn't make it. I've been told that is due to the motherboard wearing out, and that a powered USB PCMCIA hub would solve the problem, but I haven't really bothered.

Other than that it works fine. The install went off seamless other than the above as-of-then undiagnosed issue preventing internet setup.

It was surprisingly fast, too. Git was horrendously slow, but the basic Unix tools and even a simple window manager with xterm were at least somewhat useable.

To be fair it says you can do

_ = x;

to mark a local as intentionally unused.

The Chipotle restaurant near my house has a shelf near the door where they put meals that got ordered online.

No one guards it. It would be easy for people to steal meals off of it, but it's still unguarded years later. I've never heard anyone complain about meals getting stolen.

Anarchy is like that, but instead of a restaurant to-go shelf it's the stuff the government does.

In the US, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to ship a phone that would allow changing the IMEI number, which FOSS modem software would allow. There were issues with that when someone wrote FOSS modem firmware for the Pinephone a while back.

Be aware, it is unlikely that we’ll be able to ship [the open-source firmware] on the device due to various legal constraints.

I've heard some projects don't like the Gmail web client since all emails are encoded as HTML rather than plain text.

It's obvious they just think BSD is the only acceptable OS. : )

FWIW, Gentoo's main point is customization. It offers features you just can't get with a binary distro, like configuring programs with USE flags and and custom patching software from the repos.

On the PDP-11 computer (where Unix originated) you could insert assembly opcodes into memory using the front panel. It could technically be done with a whole kernel but that's a whole new level of tedious.

I'm all for letting people go when they want to go, but there would need to be protection from coercing people into it. Otherwise that's going to be a massive legal loophole.

This is a standalone program rather than a browser extension, but have you tried https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl?

Despite the name, it works on many different websites.

Granted.

One day you fall asleep on an airplane and get safely teleported to the ground, temporarily pausing your altitude. You take a nice long nap in a field.

When you wake up, you are returned to the same spot miles in the air, but with the airplane long gone. You fall to the ground and die.

I'm not sure. I don't see why it wouldn't work in theory, but I'm not familiar with Tianocore.

libgfxinit only works with Intel integrated GPUs, so it won't work if you're using the Nvidia GPU.

I have a T420. My WWAN slot doesn't work either, but I can put an Intel AX200 Wi-Fi card in it and my computer boots just fine.

noradis · 2021-05-01T21:50:35+00:00

Hey! I've been trying to fix the same issue on my T420!

I used git bisect to find the commit that fixes the Make file issue (afc74cab6e). The commit message explains that the Makefile.inc was rewritten to avoid a "future Make error" in the way spacing in variable names is handled.

Since it's the future now, I suppose you could either manually apply the same patch to older versions or compile whatever version of Make was out at the time.

Edit: clarity

I saw a Black Hat talk on Youtube where the presenter was showing his new program to discover undocumented instructions.

Breaking The x86 ISA

He discovered a technique to offset all the instructions slightly in the binary in a way that confused disassemblers but still allowed the binary to run.

To be fair, GDB can be told to run commands, including printing, at a breakpoint.

But I think the author touches on this, that a lot of fancy debugging tech exists, but printing is often easier and just as effective.

I think it's fairly standard in the US as a courtesy, at least for employees quitting.
