    I say this very literally. Even if you're not making weapons or surveillance hell, you're making churn that causes me and everyone I care about to have to spend our time and mental capacity on working around incompatibility with the things we have and avoiding switching to awful new things we don't want.

    I'm so lost on this entire conversation. XD

    #Whoosh

    Oh, major no-good, very-bad Linux CVE. Ouch. :(

    Sorry, I'm out of the loop. By like a dozen years.

  3. @dalias I blocked and reported. It seems to me that mining folks' posts would be a violation of some server terms (I believe it is a violation of Kolektiva's terms). Many folks have their posts set to auto-delete, so this definitely seems like Seldo's product would be recording posts that would otherwise disappear. I also noticed that some folks from Kolektiva are following that account.

  8. @dalias I encourage folks to tell others about their harassment, even if it's through a DM. I've stood up against jerks and I'm not afraid to bring attention to offending accounts. I know that's not ideal, but putting that out there...

  13. @dalias Say you want the public to benefit from a video codec that's usable by free software in countries where MPEG-LA members hold patents. Would there have been a better way to go about this than how Google released WebM using On2's TrueMotion VP8?

    I think that specialized is the wrong way around, there. Usually it is the generalized tool, the one that can do every possible niche task (e.g. openssl even containing a WWW server) that is complex. Whereas the specialized tool (e.g. other SSL tools that do only SSL wrapping) is the simpler.

    #ifconfig is the example that most people bring up, but the tale of #ps on Linux is also interesting as a different case study.

    Well they *are* making their own versions of those two macros. I'd already read the ostensible rationale for it, and it seemed poor.

    They have a problem with their own code's headers having lots of cross-dependencies. (Strong coupling and low cohesion: a long-standing #systemd problem.) That's not a reason for fiddling with the #StandardC library, let alone making one's own FILE and DIR macros.

    Here's an experiment to run.

    Use static analysis to find out how many and which shared libraries the current version of libsystemd, advertized as avoiding the #liblzma/#xz backdoor, can potentially use.

    You are allowed to grep src/libsystemd for calls to dlopen. (-:

  21. @dalias @DanielMicay @agwa @filippo @cynicalsecurity Because they've had to deal with it when it goes wrong. While #DNSSEC is tremendously clever and deals with a real issue, it's _incredibly_ brittle. That's even taking into account the near heroic efforts of the likes #KnotDNS to make the experience as straightforward as possible. It has a massive blast radius.
