schestowitz>Feb 24 04:54
schestowitz> Can that be done with logrotate?Feb 24 04:54
schestowitzI could set up a cron job, but prefer to do it manually to see the effect and decide when to cull the local archive of links.Feb 24 04:54
schestowitz>> These things continue to evolve a bit, but I try to focus on writingFeb 24 04:54
schestowitz>> rather than admin'ing. I've fallen behind this weekend due to our tripFeb 24 04:54

schestowitz>Feb 24 04:54
schestowitz> Better to write than to do system administration.   That's where theFeb 24 04:54

schestowitz> are trying to block.Feb 24 04:54
schestowitzNot sure who "they" is/are.Feb 24 04:54
schestowitz> By the way, if you have to bail and move to Europe, I would recommendFeb 24 04:54

schestowitzWe'll be fine; worse scenario is paperwork aplenty.Feb 24 04:54
schestowitz>> Keep some of the notes in this email somewhere as if I'm absent theseFeb 24 04:54
schestowitz>> might help cope with server/site incidents. tuxmachines is still a lotFeb 24 04:54
schestowitz>> simpler.Feb 24 04:54
schestowitz>Feb 24 04:54

schestowitz> Should that be automated?  Maybe call it from rc.local?Feb 24 04:55
schestowitzThis could,  in fact, be automated, but with Tracy reboots were hundreds of days apart, so I never bothered configuring it as such. In the current host this VM is now up:Feb 24 04:55

schestowitzThis is another part of why Intel and X86, being though they are not 100% of the world’s computer chips, is a set of devices to avoid. Does this affect AMD’s X86 variants?Feb 24 05:18
schestowitzMuch of this speed problem is software, bad OOP designs, and memory pigs like Chrome and Firefox.Feb 24 05:18
schestowitzThat and you likely don’t run code even close to being optimized for your specific X86 variant.Feb 24 05:18
schestowitzAnother one of X86’s abortions of logic and implementation.Feb 24 05:18
schestowitzThis seems to suggest methods to exploit CPU hardware to breach the kernel’s call gate and elevate a user mode task to one that has root/kernel privs.Feb 24 05:18

schestowitzMy approach and those in my peer groups refused to use X86 in any secure or embedded design and that of course extended to the non-use of any Microsoft product.Feb 24 05:18

schestowitzThe I/O and other pinout arcs on X86 are crap, too complex… the CISC core does not do much for you.Feb 24 05:18
schestowitzSPARC FPU always has been FAR faster and the integer units always were slightly faster than X86.Feb 24 05:18

schestowitz@tom grz We did quite a few of our own designs, spin custom hardware and bring the board up with our own kernels. I’d end up debugging the hardware with the designers and doing the kernels.Feb 24 05:19
schestowitzI had to write tools and the kernels, often used GCC/GNU as cross assy and compilers, etc.Feb 24 05:19
schestowitzX86 overall takes too much glue logic and is a poor embedded choice for many reasons.Feb 24 05:19
schestowitzThis seems far worse than I’d have guessed and looks like a total architecture botch.Feb 24 05:19
schestowitzIt is said to affect even AMD CPUs. Ugh.Feb 24 05:19

schestowitz"Right on both of those, SPARC is an open architecture so others can make the dies if they want. MIPS is harder to code since they don’t interlock the pipelines."Feb 24 05:20

schestowitzThe little intro blob is funny.Feb 24 05:39
schestowitz“More than half the code found in commercial software packages is open source.”Feb 24 05:39
schestowitzWow! Really? Who are these assholes who take free software and screw people with it? All software owners do it? That makes sense because the ethics of non free software is like that - demanding control of other people’s computers in return for some trivial function that’s been replicated 100 times in free software.Feb 24 05:39
schestowitz“if it isn’t properly tracked businesses might be in the dark on the number of vulnerabilities and license compliance issues that exist in their applications.”Feb 24 05:39
schestowitzWell, that’s true, but I’m a little confused about who the author thinks will care. If a software owner is lazy and simply steals free software, they are violating the terms of the software and probably are not keeping up with security updates. Surely, the asshole businessman does not care if the user’s time, security, and privacy wasted, nor care if the user’s customers are screwed over. That’s a well demonstrated result ofFeb 24 05:39
schestowitzsoftware restrictions software owners rely on to “make a living.” So, I’m not sure who the author is talking to, or what they are trying to convince them of. If everyone is using “open source,” including those assholes who have robbed the public domain for 40 years and used it to also rob their customers, you would think that everyone would learn to avoid the assholes and simply use free software.Feb 24 05:39

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.techrepublic.com | Linus Torvalds praises Arm servers, but claims the economics and ecosystem are missing - TechRepublicFeb 27 07:59
schestowitz <p> Because of the Raspberry Pi, the SBC market is littered with cheap and poorly supported Arm-powered boards that lack mainline kernel support. Compared to any arbitrary x86-64 system that can use a Linux distribution using generic install media, OS images for Arm devices rely on complex device trees to ensure the drivers and hardware configuration is performed properly. This is a manual and intensive process.Feb 27 07:59
schestowitz </p> <p>Feb 27 07:59
schestowitzThis can be seen firsthand with Arm-powered Windows laptops, as developers work on an open source project to make Linux usable on those systems. Similar issues can be seen with the LineageOS Android distribution, and the relatively small number of devices it works on. For Android device manufacturers, Google aims to ease these pains with Treble, which provides a hardware abstraction layer to make it easier to manage OS image developmentFeb 27 07:59

schestowitz </p> <p>Feb 27 07:59
schestowitzLikewise, the Raspberry Pi family enjoys wide adoption due to the ecosystem around it—including OS images. TechRepublic's Nick Heath notes that another competitor like Hardkernel / ODROID "[has] a good reputation for providing stable operating system images for its boards," though the tendency for device longevity to depend on vendor cooperation is a major stumbling block to commodity Arm devices being practically usable and hackable forFeb 27 07:59

schestowitzeople will lose jobs and their careers as a result of these exams thanks to PEB's incompetent. Some firms won't pay for resist and yet PEB feels the need to increase their exam fees 20% every year leaving candidates unable to afford it on their own and also hitting them hard with no or little pay rise. No wonder UK patent attorneys get paid less than their fellow professional around the world.Feb 27 11:00

schestowitzhe document issued by PEB "The Marking of Qualifying Examinations" makes no reference to how the examinations should be marked when there is an "issue" in the examination paper (some clarity on what the issue was, how it happened and what exactly the detriment to candidates is would be helpful information that appears entirely absent from PEBs email).Feb 27 11:01
schestowitzThe "Minimum Pass Descriptor" is stated to be used for borderline candidates- there is absolutely no indication this is an appropriate method for marking candidates in this scenario. Indeed, there is no indication that this marking parameter would be used at all when the paper is flawed- how can candidates have any certainty on what the goalposts being used are? PEB appear to have used this marking parameter with zero consideration forFeb 27 11:01

schestowitzThanks for the info. That was a missing link, and a typical Windows Problem.Mar 03 18:43
schestowitzI always suspected cracking tools, many of them are RAR compressed. And guess what, most systems where I found key generators with cracked software were compromised. I told my friends not to use these … but they wouldn’t listen.Mar 03 18:43
schestowitzSometimes I checked the cracking tools, but didn´t find anything. So I thought, it was in Media Files. Kids got a lot stuff from internet. But checking them was leading often to no results, so my best guess by far was, that the got infected by visiting websites with JS and Flash.Mar 03 18:43
