G4L -- http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Licensing_and_Law/g4l-licensing.html

This happened back in 2003 when Richard Stallman forked Windows XP and created the Gentoo project.

1: that is not from the author.

2: the issue there is not that the fork is GPL'd, but that is broke the original license.

Actually you and TP~* can step into >>>/oven/ , so that you stop shitting up /tech/ even more.

>This is the worst advice I have ever seen.

This is the most ironically hyperbolic post I've ever made

Hardened kernels are useful in any applications where security is important.

Because most hardening mechanisms exhibit minimal slowdown, and because adding compiler flags and recompiling your kernel isn't particularly difficult, it is advisable to utilize hardening mechanisms wherever possible.

The only cons are slightly increased memory usage and reduced execution speed for some hardening mechanisms.

>>548189

>Container is compromised because of buffer overflow vulnerability

>Attacker escalates privileges because all security measures were relegated to the compartimentalization software

>Get pwnd anyway

You know grsecurity does way more than permission control, right? Fuck, you can use it for containers too.

>>548208

Are you seriously considering coding your own patches? Why not go all the way and code your own kernel from scratch too?

>>548318

>The only cons are slightly increased memory usage and reduced execution speed for some hardening mechanisms.

Someone should tell the Debian maintainers about that. More specifically, the Iceweasel maintainer seems to have little to no idea about hardening.

Personally? ESXi on the bare metal, a VM with deluge/couchpotato/sonarr installed (all traffic VPNed), a VM with Plex and 5TB of storage. I could use some suggestions for other VMs, I've been thinking i2p router/proxy, maybe a tor relay?

>>543182

Man, I miss runescape. Those were good times.

Pretty good find there with that optiplex I suppose.

I wouldn't trust that HDD, I'd probably grab a few 250GB refurbs and raid1 that shit up over several disks.

OP calm down.

They can't control development of AI anymore than they can control your ability to code. If you can code, you can develop AI. Google has no monopoly here.

I also see Google as succumbing to socjus plague in the next decade. They'll never fade away completely. But you'll notice they have less influence and maybe in some ways a rolling back of botnet. Yahoo used to be big and now look how irrelevant they've become. This is the future for google.

I was just reading this article:

http://www.sci-tech-today.com/story.xhtml?story_id=11100BKWBVIC

Notice the corporate mismanagement. It's a change in strategies for google from what they've done in the past. Google is switching from investing in ambitious projects that pay off in the long run to maintaining current products and milking them till they die. Selling off robotics companies today is crazy given advancements in AI and robotics the past decade. Robotics will only improve, the industry will grow, profits will soar. If nothing else, it's worth it to keep the company to retain the employees and monopoly on skill. It prevents your competition from gaining an advantage, gives you the capability of rapid development in the industry with a small lead time, and it may in the future become profitable. Google is fucking up tbh fam.

All of this is because google is losing its technological base to socjus.

Notice in that article how many references there are to women and jews in upper management. Go and look at google careers and look at the jobs they advertise, the people listed, the photos of current employees. You can always learn a lot from this. Most of their work is only maintaining systems already developed. Of all their offices, most are huge-fucking datacenters. They have so many women working there I'm surprised their sites don't Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Nice! 'Bout time they added support for Wayland. Now maybe Wayland dev can speed up a bit.

>>548339

derp. thought this /pol/....

>>548143

I also am interested in this op.

I tried to contribute to debian and they have a page with pages and pages of links with more links - then when you ask them straight up "How do I contribute?" they just send you a link to another page that says learn how to program or they just ask you to donate money.

I want to know how to contribute IF I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DEVELOP SOFTWARE. Knowing how to code doesn't automatically mean I know how to contribute to foss projects. There are people elements that need to be overcome that most coding autists are not so good at dealing with, and I also need to be connected to the correct people. But they (debian specifically) have nothing to offer here because they don't actually want more people involved, they just want more dollary-doos.

Look at the difference in the way ubuntu tries to get people involved versus debian. Ubuntu has a tool on their page that asks you what you want to do, you click through, find what you like, go directly to relevant information. Seriously I don't know why more projects don't make tools like this to make getting involved more straightforward - except that it's about the money and not about development.

>that need to be overcome that most coding autists are not so good at dealing with

skip that part. Rip the code you need, do your worst to it and then advertise it. Eventually it will get attention. That's how 3/4 of all 'new' things get in, because eventually they'll assimilate good ideas.

Just look at coreutils and other shit that has become part of linux distros. Most of it was a standalone project, some even as old as hitler himself.

Sticky.

is way land even gud?

No terminals as performant and advanced as xterm and urxvt ran natively

I was limtied to really fucking terrible programs in general

not worth "wow no tearing" and "elegant software architecture", or having to rely on individual compositors for everything when on X your desktop is pretty much modular

>>548201

>xterm and urxvt

And yet they run just fine under it, and isolated from each other to boot. Well, depending on the xwayland configuration that is.

>when on X your desktop is pretty much modular

That's a good joke.

>>545717

Wayland is a protocol, it doesn't have configuration files and doesn't support drivers.

Each implementation of wayland will have its own configuration files. X.org drivers are x.org specific and can not be used anywhere else, wayland implementations are supposed to use kernel drivers through DRM (direct rendering, not digital rights) instead.

I just wish some /tech/ faggot would just fix that caching issue and we could start using Next.

The current software is killing the userbase.

> loading a thread or the catalog just freezes my browser for like a good 10 seconds

>>548299

Next has had both an internal HTTP cache since January as well as Varnish integration since like February.

It won't be used because Hotwheels is a lazy kike and would rather have odili and some monkey work on something that's fundamentally broken for months just to have it blow up in their face when the issues start cropping up.

At least there's uchan.

>>548302

But has it been tested under load since?

>>548303

No, but with the accelerator and a good caching strategy they can definitely make it work. It's still just as slow at templating, that's what the accelerator is for.

The smart question would be, in the context of varnish, "what is their optimal caching strategy?" A PURGE in response to actions with long TTLs? STALE-WHILE-REVALIDATE with grace caching strategy with TTLs? With our without manual invalidation?

Further questions, instead of being some retard in IRC with a woody for tools like siege despite not knowing how to ask these questions, are "how performant is the JSON api? especially under load?" "Hundreds and hundreds of posts per second, will DB start shitting itself? What does the load look like?"

>>548308

And of course, optimizing stale response times.

>>544439

>>544599 !

>Yes the show is shot infront of a live audience

Would have been fun if Stallman was there to ruin the scene by reminding him that it's GNU/Linux.

Also, do they actually consider that a joke? I don't even understand how this is supposed to be funny?

>>545580

So that makes you 19 now? Fuck, I'm getting old.

You have to go back skiddy!

>>548084

ah, the damn thing doesn't work when the parameter "Encoding": "varint" is on

in other words, it works for some models, not for others

now we also need some way of decoding files encoded with that shit, but later I suppose. first it would be nice if I could understand the structure of a regular model

>>548112

fuck it, we'll just borrow the code then http://www58.zippyshare.com/v/SpYv2Tuw/file.html

this file should have all it takes to decode varint, now if my javascript wouldn't suck so much...

Discovered a couple more things.

With the viewer as it is in >>548084, it can only see models submitted to Sketchfab until around Oct-Nov 2014.

Everything else is unreadable, unless someone can make scripts\OSG.js to support varint encoding. I included a sample of how it's done on the original site here >>548124 and here's some documentation https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding and https://github.com/chrisdickinson/varint/ but I just can't program well enough to include this function myself.

Furthermore varint is used on Uint32Array and Int32Array but not on Uint8Array.

My attempts to fix this crap or make a Sketchfab-code based (12 FUCKING MB OF SCRIPT SHIT you kidding me?) have failed.

And it seems I'm not getting many replies here. I'll back all of this up and maybe I'll have more luck in the xentax forums.

Support fucking sticky

>>548262

You fucking post that shit there and see if you get any replies
