drwho,

eBay.

drwho,

Does the number have to accept an SMS for verification, or can it be, say, a phone call?

drwho,

I agree. Some of the Linux servers I used to run at work in the early 00’s were 12 to 16 core monsters (for the time) and the kernel didn’t even blink.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Committing Fully To Netplan For Network Configuration (www.phoronix.com)

The Canonical-developed Netplan has served for Linux network configuration on Ubuntu Server and Cloud versions for years. With the recent Ubuntu 23.10 release, Netplan is now being used by default on the desktop. Canonical is committing to fully leveraging Netplan for network configuration with the upcoming Ubuntu 24.04 LTS...

drwho,

The question is, is it going to suck more or less than NetworkManager?

drwho,

And how many respins of Ubuntu are out there that just have their own repos? Quite a few, as I recall.

drwho,

You (and I) are unfortunately part of the small fraction of a percentage point that think and are inclined to act this way.

drwho,

Minimal risk for them. The state of monitoring as a whole is such that they can use such an 0-day for a couple of years before anybody notices it. It’s far more likely that the vulnerability is noticed and patched without anyone even realizing that it’s been actively exploited.

drwho,

OpenBSD got a grant from the DoD, and then Theo posted his opinions of the post-9/11 US government, and they put a stop on the check before it even crossed the border. He pissed a lot of folks inside the Beltway off that day.

drwho,

About as much as having a single functional eye in a country where everybody is blind makes you king.

drwho,

Have you ever tried programming in straight x86 assembly? :P

drwho,

Could also have to do with running a gauntlet of lawyers to be allowed to open some code you wrote.

drwho,

You’d rather not know that someone you might find yourself working with could turn on you in the blink of an eye for a reason you’re not even aware of?

drwho,

What the actual fuck?

drwho,

Very much so.

drwho,

I’ve been trying to rewrite asciiquarium in Python off and on for a while. As it turns out, I suck at ASCII graphics just as much as high res.

drwho,

apk isn’t any more or less than using dpkg by itself, or opkg. As for what I use, I use Arch at home and Ubuntu on my virtual machines (because they’re officially supported by my hosting provider). They work for me. I like them.

drwho,

That’s understandable. However, pf (OpenBSD’s firewall system) is incredibly logical and easy to use. I never expected to write a fully operational (bloody thing worked the first time I tried it!) firewall ruleset on a two hour flight from scratch.

drwho,

I had something similar happen in one of my ESP8266 projects (also running MicroPython). What I wound up doing was, every five wall clock minutes (maybe a bit sooner than that, for your case) I had my firmware do a local_networks = wifi.scan() just to exercise the wifi functionality. If that failed I have the code do gc.collect() followed by sys.exit(1), which causes the 8266 to reboot automatically.

Give that a try.

drwho,

No, I don’t. My best informed guess is that the wifi connection’s state machine gets stuck once in a while, it misses a couple of packets, and then sits there doing nothing. So, by kicking it a little it doesn’t get a chance to freeze up.

drwho,

It's probably between 60 and 140 pF. Those are the ones that you'll normally find in crystal radios for tuning.
