Ariadneiptables is awfulMar 11 06:57
vmg3don't say that Mar 11 06:58
Ariadnewhy?  it is objectively trueMar 11 06:58
Ariadnenetfilter team made nftables as a replacement because iptables is really that badMar 11 06:58
schestowitztrueMar 11 06:58
schestowitzwe thought about nftablesMar 11 06:58
schestowitzbut this OS comes with iptablesMar 11 06:59
Ariadnewhich OS?Mar 11 06:59

Ariadnecan be yeahMar 11 07:03
vmg3ok thanksMar 11 07:04
Ariadneanyway if you're trying to learn linux networking skills, focus on nftables, it's the futureMar 11 07:04
Ariadneiptables is the pastMar 11 07:04
vmg3cool,  keeps me on my toesMar 11 07:04

Ariadnecuriosity is goodMar 11 07:09
vmg3it gets me into a lot of troubleMar 11 07:10
Ariadnethe real way of preserving software freedom is by inspiring more curiosityMar 11 07:10
vmg3In awe of most of the conversation hereMar 11 07:10
Ariadnethere's conversation here worth being in awe of?Mar 11 07:11
vmg3for a person at my level yeahMar 11 07:11
vmg3I've been using linux for a few years and that leads to more curiosityMar 11 07:12
Ariadnethere's better places to lurk, but i am sure you'll find them in your own time ^_^Mar 11 07:12
vmg3I've learnt a bit in a short timeMar 11 07:13
Ariadneand from a purely academic POV, linux is not the only thing to investigateMar 11 07:13
Ariadneyou should look at the BSD kernels, and there are even things to learn from the NT model via ReactOSMar 11 07:14
vmg3for sureMar 11 07:14
vmg3I play, most people here are in the industry just tid bits keep me goingMar 11 07:15

schestowitz"[Disclosure/Historical footnote: Those with long memories might suggest a parallel between Rick’s position and mine when in 1997, I was sitting on the XML Working Group and co-editing the spec, on a pro bono basis as an indie consultant. Netscape hired me to represent their interests, and when I announced this, controversy ensued. Which is a nice way of saying that Microsoft went berserk; tried unsuccessfully to get me fired as co-Mar 11 07:31
schestowitzeditor, and then launched a vicious, deeply personal extended attack in which they tried to destroy my career and took lethal action against a small struggling company because my wife worked there. It was a sideshow of a sideshow of the great campaign to bury Netscape and I’m sure the executives have forgotten; but I haven’t. Anyhow, I thought I had to point that out first before somebody else dredged it up, but I totally don’t Mar 11 07:31
schestowitzthink Rick’s status played in this story and I’m also 100% confident of his integrity.]"Mar 11 07:31

MinceRsomeone could also use free software-powered weaponry to kill in self defenseMar 11 23:32
CrystalMathAriadne: i can definitely understand that, but i believe it's not their faultMar 11 23:32
mjg59There's a sizable number of people who believe that copyleft is fundamentally non-freeMar 11 23:32
mjg59Because it restricts your ability to use the code in proprietary productsMar 11 23:33
CrystalMaththough i see why people can be upset, i think that objectively their conscience can be clearMar 11 23:33
mjg59And they see that as necessary for freedomMar 11 23:33

Ariadnethe freedom to do whatever you want with the codeMar 11 23:33
MinceRi seeMar 11 23:33
Ariadnecopyleft is not compatible with freedom zero maximalismMar 11 23:33
CrystalMathfreedom zero has nothing to do with copyleftMar 11 23:34
MinceRi'm bothered more by people being unable to combine copylefted code with free software under an incompatible licenseMar 11 23:34
CrystalMathcopyleft is about distributionMar 11 23:34
Ariadnewe mostly fixed that in GPL3 and Apache2Mar 11 23:34
mjg59Ariadne: Freedom 0 is, I think, carefully written to avoid that argument - it explicitly talks about running it for any purpose, not distributing it for any purposeMar 11 23:34
CrystalMathyou can be pro-copyleft and a freedom zero maximalistMar 11 23:34
Ariadnemjg59: hmm, true :)Mar 11 23:34
mjg59I think it's actually more an argument about freeom 3Mar 11 23:35
mjg59And whether you can impose conditions on the distribution of modified versionsMar 11 23:35
CrystalMathbut indeed, copyleft does a little bit of "affirmative action" here, tipping the scale in favor of the user, against the developersMar 11 23:35
Ariadneand the largest practical problem with license compatibility (OpenSSL) is being relicensed to something compatible anywayMar 11 23:35
Ariadnealthough openssl is hot garbage and you shouldn't use it in new codeMar 11 23:35
mjg59So I see the ethical software/free software argument as being more about what levels of restrictions can be applied for the greater goodMar 11 23:36
mjg59I wrote about that some more here: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/54709.htmlMar 11 23:36
