IRC's netsplits still haunt me in my sleep. jk
At least then when someone was considered a nuissance they got kickbaned instead of their account deleted because someone somewhere somehow got offended. Thicker skin crowd i guess, did allow for more discourse.
In IRC's heyday online communication was mostly centered in groups (the channels) rather than 1:1. In the age of whatsapp 1:1 is king, kinda sad. It's my perception at least.
I still do think XMPP is a better IRC though, more modern.
No, i wasn't. Interesting...
Discord didn't tell you your gender and they didn't put it on your profile either.
It's only guessing it internally for their own purposes, like most companies out there.
Well now u own the right to the stocks
Isn't that called an option in the derivatives market? You can still own stock.

"Any bug has the potential of being a security issue at the kernel level."
Although the programmers examined RHEL 8.8 specifically, this is a general problem. They would have found the same results if they had examined SUSE, Ubuntu, or Debian Linux. Rolling-release Linux distros such as Arch, Gentoo, and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed constantly release the latest updates, but they're not used in businesses.
The proposed fix:
The team advocates for a shift toward using stable kernel branches from kernel.org for better security and bug management.
Woah, someone discovered fire.
Binary-thinking morons would be amusing if they weren't sad and a majority. Let's pray they don't vote.
I'd go with education first. Forbidden fruit and all that...
They did and should indeed.
Never said otherwise.
Kinda, although recent vacuum cleaners are way less noisier than gas-powered leaf-blowers.
Granted, Eric turned off the firewall on Windows XP before he started the experiment, but we have a sneaking suspicion that a security suite that hasn't been updated for at least a decade doesn't have much chance against modern tactics.
But yeah, would've been more interesting with the fw running.
I wonder how many internet-facing SCADA systems run on XP...
Everyone knows that putting Windows XP online in 2024 is a bad idea, but not everyone knows just how bad an idea it actually is.
The accuracy of some critical GPS navigation systems used in modern farming have been "extremely compromised," a John Deere dealership told customers Saturday.

When I wrote about App-pocalypse Now [https://blog.codinghorror.com/app-pocalypse-now/] in 2014, I implied the future still belonged to the web. And it does. But it's also true that the web has changed a lot in the last 10 years, much less the last 20 or 30. Websites have

I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened.

I currently maintain a legacy C+ app that runs on x86/x86_64/armhf linux, all 4 android archs and x86/x86_64 windows.
The linux compilation phase takes 1m, whereas on windows (using MinGW) it takes 10m. It's not the end of the world, but would the MS compiler be faster? Better?
