if you are looking for a HURD based stable OS you are a bit out of luck.

Why yes, I would like my stack traces to make no ffing sense! I’m so glad you asked.

I’m a bit concerned what happens when Gabe Newell dies

Not a JS dev either but ===.

Not really sure what the (+x) is about

I use Gorillas with Grandparents instead as the performance is much better. Do you know how bad Gumbies looks on your resume? It came out in 2022.

I’ve had the reverse. I started using arch because debian didn’t have my wifi driver yet.

The whole idea behind Manjero’s update scheme is just generally a landmine. LTS releases typically work by maintaining a older branch that gets updates. In this way you delay features not patches. If you run Firefox on such a system it will be Firefox LTS with this week’s patches (this is kinda important for security reasons). Manjaro doesn’t do this instead it just holds everything back artificially one or two weeks.

Bluntly doing this with a browser or other security critical software should be a crime.

Manjero just generally feels very amaturish and its history of taking down Arch’s servers is not helping here.

What exactly is it raining at 56°C?

I’m scared what your weather is like

It’s slightly colder right now in the SF Bay Area where it doesn’t snow

It’s always disconcerting when I go somewhere it’s supposed to snow in the winter and it’s warmer.

Apple wrote bugged TLS code that broke using unbraced ifs with a goto, hence the name “goto fail”. You don’t need a goto to break this code though. All you need is a second indented line under the if

#2 is also the most insideous to update. Add another indented line to one of the conditions and the cotrol flow completely breaks while visually appearing fine.

C and a number of other languages have annoying pair of parallel syntax systems that makes it easy for people to read code one way and computers to compile it another. People read the indentation and newlines while compilers count braces and semicolons. #2 gets rid of the braces and makes control flow driven by semicolons making human visual inspection more likely to fail

Please don’t use #2. It is how you get the goto fail bug

Something about making their own version of every app and than naming it k-something makes me think it’s a cult.

I will not stand slander of the arch wiki.

Also start with Linux Mint XFCE (unless they’ve fixed the stability problems with cinnamon)

So once a game stops selling it had better hope its player base dries up and stops reinstalling it? The way that is phrased makes it sound like you could net lose money over the long term if sales decline and people keep reinstalling it

Just got another. Seems they still haven’t caught their intern

I feel personally attacked. Yes I’ve actually done this (minus sending them money). I had a server (that I am pretty sure sent headers to the effect that it ran x86) which had some logs indicating someone had tried to download an arm IOT botnet onto it. So I downloaded it and tried running it through a decompiler. I found a UPX stub. The rest was compressed. So I tried the UPX unpacker. This didn’t work because it was built with a modified copy of UPX. So I hauled out a raspberry pi, reflashed the OS and tried running it in GDB in hopes of just dumping the unpacked bit from memory. Nothing. So I downloaded qemu and set up an aarch 64 arm 9 image still nothing. So I tried 32 bit arm again in qemu. At this point I gave up
