for programmers, i suggest looking at the alpine FORTIFY implementation for what the best practice is to do: just embed a "ud2" instruction when encountering a fault and allow the programmer to inspect the program in gdb ;)

@moz

not even programmers, just end users >.<

@moz

well, it's similar reasons to why WINE does this

it's easier to blame the compatibility library than blame the original code

(libgcompat and it's associated loader allow execution of most unmodified glibc programs on musl libc, in a way similar to WINE)

I am making #libgcompat panic messages more friendly, since everyone seems to believe that bugs in crappily written software are actually bugs in #libgcompat.

@cpsdqs

probably to prevent people from blasting away their dotfiles in $HOME

@Laurelai

i will take 3

should i prepare nightly builds of apk-tools? seems people want to play with the new applets.

Allegedly, I have been removed from their list that I never consented to being added to in the first place though.

So, there's that.

I asked what the DSCC wanted, and they want to influence the democratic primary.

Because of course they want to demonstrate the system is rigged.

@Laurelai

i like my laws like i like everything else: built to last

@Laurelai

what i am saying is that it's pandering to the democratic base and the insurance mafia will challenge the constitutionality of that law immediately and probably win

@Laurelai

while true, the government doesn't get to pick winners and losers

@Laurelai

how would such a law be constitutional though

@Laurelai

prohibited how ?

DSCC called once again, this time at 6:35 AM.

They really are like debt collectors.

@Laurelai

at $100k family income (typical income for a middle-class family with both parents working), premiums are still much lower than private insurance

would there be any interest in a program which proxies 802.1x auth packets?

i am writing one so i can replace my ISP's crummy router with one of my own choosing

@Elizafox

build with -mno-retpoline if running latest xcode

@Elizafox

spectre/meltdown only slow down syscalls (meltdown) and jumps (spectre), not bare computation
