sometimes i like that a lot of my work is typical enterprise stuff. nothing gets to prod without some poor soul working through a huge test catalogue on a seperate environment and/or a higher up signs off on it.
it’s also annoying because, you cant “just ship” a small fix or change without someone signing off on it.
It was written as part of my work.
check your contract, you might not own the code and your organization may have a process to determine how to license something.
to your other questions (IANAL)
no, the solution is not to pay someone to have someone to blame if shit happens.
there are a bus load of people involved on the way from a git repo to actuall stuff running on a machine and everyone in that chain is responsible to have an eye on what stuff they are building/packaging/installing/running and if something seems off, it’s their responsibility to investigate and communicate with each other.
attacks like this will not be solved by paying someone to read source code, because the code in the repo might not be what is going to run on a machine or might look absolutely fine in a vacuum or will be altered by some other part in the chain. and even if you have dedicated code readers, you cant be sure that they are not compromised or that their findings will reach the people running/packaging/depending on the software.
i can’t see how paying someone would have changed anything in this scenario.
this seems to be a long running campaign to get someone into a position where they could introduce malicious code. the only thing different would have been that the bad actor would have been paid by someone.
this is not to say, that people working on foss should not be paid. if anything we need more people actively reviewing code and release artifacts even if they are not a contributor or maintainer of a piece of software.
so is dracut and weston.
i think that naming software after towns in Massachusetts is somekind of red hat in-joke.
technicaly correct, and i am no lawyer, but i can’t see how in the world i owe anyone a warranty that loads code on their machines, compiles it and uses it, all without any input by me.
everything that i intend to be more than throw away code, that lives for whatever reason in a public repo gets either an MIT or an gplv3 license.
nah, than ibm will annoy you, that they need a special license that allows them to be a dick while using your code.
just like they asked the JSLint guys to use JSLint for evil.
code that needs a license, but i really don’t care what you do with it gets a wftpl.
it’s intrusive anti-cheat-software operating on a system level where it could be a viable attack vector. thats what sucks.
what also sucks: this will make one of the most played games in existence unplayable on linux. and only so riot looks like taking a problem serious, that is probably much smaller than people think.
other than that: mobas absolutely require mechanical skills, that cheats could assist you with. there impact might not be as obvious as an incredible high hesdshot rate, but being able to consistently last hit creeps will give an ever increasing advantage over your opponent, canceling certain animations will increase the damge you are able to dish out over a given time frame and seeing the trajectory projectiles will follow makes them easier to dodge.
hell just supplying more information than the standard ui can be a huge advantage: knowing what your opponets buy, or invest there leve ups in all the time, displaying their cooldowns and stuff like that.
Good book.
It’s absent in the biologist sure, she is driven by curiosity, and the loss of her partner.
But the Director? She saw numerous highly skilled people enter the are without returning, but still thought she could somehow make a difference and ultimately understand what area x is.
Lowry still thinks it’s something he could, and only him could deal with, so he keeps messing with the missions and has everyone brainwashed.
Control atleast starts out thinking he has the reigns in hand, but he atleast begins to understand how ununderstandable the situation is to him.
But to be honest, i found it really hard to get anything from the books where i could say: “yeah, that’s definitely something this is about” it has many themes and layers and it’s just so thoroughly weird that i am not really sure about anything i experienced reading it.
Been a while since i read the southern reach trillogy, but i guess the biggest theme for me was human hubris, to think that we are actually in control and understand this huge world we live in.
Other than that, it’s also a damn beautiful horror trip.
Fyi: Libre Office is the actively developed Open Office fork.
Don’t know how it stacks up to MS Office though.
Most clients are web browsers and support for torrents in http is the same as for every other file.
So that would only give us a use for torrents as a form of content distribution plattform to get the actual files closer to the client.
In cases where we have actual non browser clients: i like to curate what i am distributing and don’t want to distribute anything i happen stumble upon or would you be willing to store and more importantly share everything you find on 4chan or that might show up in your mastodon feed?
En Garde! Nice indie game, with a combat system simmiliar to sekiro, but very lighthearted presentation. Also started paradise killer. Definitely interesting, but not sure if it’s a game for me
Return of reckoning is a fan run continuation of the warhammer mmo, that might be something you enjoy.
Maybe it hurds in a good way.
Nah, it’s a kernel it does kernel stuff and does not offer anything a normal user notices compared to other kernels.
It might be interesting for people who work on kernels just to see different ways on how to solve common problems.
Nope, they said it again during the live stream where they had two people play part of the third act this exile con. Every mtx that effects something that is present in both games will be shared between them. I’d guess stash tabs will be included in both games, so those should carry over.
I guess the biggest difference for users is that nostr relays don’t federate with one another. So you’ll have to query multiple relays yourself if you want to see stuff outside of the relay(s) you post to. The other big difference is that your identity is a keypair. The relays you send to only know your public key and that’s it.
E: someone running a relay could still decide you need to create an account or something, but this account is only the permission to use this specific relay. Your identity would still be your keypair, so moving to another relay is easy.
I’ll steup the morrowind total conversion “starwind” which seems like a really good star wars game set in the old republic era.
Unless a friend of mine buys baldurs gate 3. In zhat case it’ll be baldurs gate 3. I hope it lives up to divinity original sin 2.
Had issues like that from time to time, when graphics drivers got borked during the update/did not exist for the new kernel.
solution was allways to either remove the drivers and reinstall them or rollback to an earlier snapshot and wait a week.
