I thought truth mattered right?

…right?

I was intrigued by this article as 1865 isn’t any epoch I’ve heard about and I didn’t think COBOL really had a concept of an epoch (an epoch matters when you’re counting milliseconds from zero, COBOL stores date/time info differently). I’ve been searching this morning and can only find the Wikipedia page mentioning that date - which is weird for an ISO standard that is 99% about date formatting.

I can’t wait for them to discover a bunch of people who are 9999 years old next.

Maybe I don’t? You seem to only want to shout at me than correct misunderstanding.

Actual Linux news rather than “which distro should I use for gaming and bit torrents?”

Sometimes you gotta let people try to resolve things on their own first.

I don’t think I am.

I meant the “America isn’t doing it” part. They certainly are.

You could say that the first time Trump was elected. Not anymore.

Sounds like something is broken.

As someone who has seen almost EVERY kernel bugfix and security issue for the past 15+ years (well hopefully all of them end up in the stable trees, we do miss some at times when maintainers/developers forget to mark them as bugfixes), and who sees EVERY kernel CVE issued, I think I can speak on this topic.

The majority of bugs (quantity, not quality/severity) we have are due to the stupid little corner cases in C that are totally gone in Rust. Things like simple overwrites of memory (not that rust can catch all of these by far), error path cleanups, forgetting to check error values, and use-after-free mistakes. That’s why I’m wanting to see Rust get into the kernel, these types of issues just go away, allowing developers and maintainers more time to focus on the REAL bugs that happen (i.e. logic issues, race conditions, etc.)

I assume you’ve configured it for “single” mode?

BDS works. That’s why it’s illegal.

Boycotting is illegal in Turkey?

Why are you so pro-genocide?? /s

It’s frighteningly hard to tell isn’t it?

Trump: “The Philippines should just give that area to Jihna. And also give all their national resources to a company run by Don Jr.”

Don’t be shitty.

You need the same source code, the same exact build tools, the same exact libraries that it depends on, and the same exact OS. Additionally every single build has to be reproducible - so not including in its output, say, the build date/time or any information about the host that built it. Now you need to repeat that for thousands of packages.

I believe it’s less about the packaging system and more about the build system. You’re building source code from thousands of individual projects, getting a reproducible output is difficult if, for example, some library embeds the build date/time in its output.

Oof, awk…

I consider myself to be very cli proficient, but I’ve never understood awk.

Teams is its own plane of hell. Sorry to hear.

Let’s be honest - in this community NAS means “my do-everything server that may have a RAID and probably also shares storage”.
