LXC is containerization. Both it and Docker are using the same kernel APIs.

Agreed

Not really, but I’d probably try to organize those into sub structures where it made sense. A data structure holding the UI state and FFT data all flat is kinda messy imo since it becomes unclear what is actually required where.

This is also far from my personal experience, you might not even realize what free software you’re depending on?

Your browser is most likely the most complex piece of software you interact with daily and it is most likely FOSS. The Linux kernel is FOSS and is incredibly robust. Most compiler suites, FOSS. Most programming languages, FOSS. These are all incredibly well written and robust tools. AOSP, kinda FOSS, and the forks like Graphene are definitely FOSS. Hell even a lot of macOS programs are actually FOSS. I could go on and on, there is absolutely amazing work being done on FOSS by incredibly talented people.

There is great paid and proprietary software out there, sure, but no it’s not the majority of top quality software in my personal experience and likely a lot of people’s experiences and it is almost guaranteed to rely on a FOSS library somewhere

Sounds like you’re cherry picking both; I’ve seen plenty of garbage that costs money as well.

Oh right, thanks

Am I misunderstanding something? Wouldn’t that just be 7! = 5040 possibilities?

This happened to me in Kansas on the way to college a long time back. The cop pulled out and started tailgating me and I slowly got closer to the car in front of me and then he put his lights on and pulled me over for “following too closely”.

He wanted to search my car and tried to call in a drug dog. Put me in his car and turned the AC to fill blast while I waited for a dog that never came.

Wish I had the courage to have asked if I was being arrested and then demand being let go otherwise

Alternatively, use your shell however you want. And which isn’t POSIX so I wouldn’t use that in a shell script you intend to share.

I don’t really find it infuriating and I don’t think that makes me part of a problem. Self diagnosis can sometimes trivialize the people actually suffering from the problem, and there van be real harm there. So I definitely agree with you to some extent. But some people are so hungry for community that self diagnosing some problem like ADHD makes them part of something else. That’s sad to me, but not infuriating.

I do understand that mislabeling normal things as a mental health issue can be problematic. I wish you didn’t assume I thought otherwise from our small exchange. My point of responding was that I find it really annoying when people say “well everyone does or feels X so there’s nothing wrong with you”. I think that also does a lot of damage to people.

I’d say that the person on display in the comic doesn’t seem to be showing “normal” or “healthy” procrastination to me, but there is room for disagreement I guess.

Wow, people are so extreme on the Internet. One comment saying maybe take a step back and we’re already at “fucking stupid”.

This comic is relevant to general human experience and ADHD, both are true and valid. The comic didn’t tell people to self diagnose and no one here has told anyone to self diagnose.

Normal people feel sad. Feeling sad consistently and having it harm your life and not knowing how to fix it is called depression. People with these problems aren’t aliens showing weird never been seen before behaviors or emotions, but their lives are consistently disrupted by these normal things. It’s a problem of how often and how much the person can control it.

I have no skin in this game, but IPs are definitely not anonymous data. Also there is a lot of great info out there about de-anonymizing seemingly random data. Interestingly enough, this is similar to the Netflix prize dataset that was one of the more famous ones. Maybe a good introduction to that would be https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/12/anonymity_and_t_2.html

Nobody is gonna be using a quantum computer to “crack email hashes” of Plex users in a few years… I’m not even sure there is a speedup to hash cracking with quantum computers.

But depending on the hashing algorithm used, it’s likely pretty easy to crack hashes of email addresses today with a normal computer. They’re not particularly high entropy.

I see why it does this now. Debian does

CONFIG=/etc/samba/smb.conf
# stuff
ucf --three-way --debconf-ok /usr/share/samba/smb.conf "$CONFIG"

in the postinit inside the .deb file to create the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. They do it this way so they don’t nuke an already created file. I take back that they should be shipping an empty file, this way is better, but it also means you’ll never be able to query it without some changes to the packaging tools.

The man page should mention the path though that’s a bit lame.

This is a good argument for shipping an empty config file.

Your point stands, but this also isn’t completely unintuitive. There is pattern there: you installed samba and the config is in /etc/samba/. System level installs will almost always install their config in /etc/ and the sub directory will typically match the name somewhat.

There is likely a general thought that if you’re going to administer a samba server, you’ll also be comfortable with conventions and man pages. Although, funnily enough, in the particular case of samba, man smb.conf doesn’t show the path lol

It’s funny because it seems like it’s all just familiarity with conventions on both platforms. I’ve used Linux for around 15 years and I’m completely lost trying to find anything on a Windows computer.

Yikes. Not sure why I expected anything else.

You typically won’t have permission to write them with ADB.

For user specific files a lot of modern programs try to adhere to https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/. You should set those environmental variables and check there first.

For system level… it’s definitely more complicated. I check /etc first and then then /usr dirs. If you’re using your system package manager there is generally a way to query it for that information, but it’s typically CLI based.

Or just use our lord and savior NixOS and configure everything in a single directory
