It was a genuine question, I have no objections. I am rather illiterate about the Nobel Prize, it just caught my attention this year. I just noticed a discrepancy after checking the body of his work after reading the will. That's all.

I am a bit confused as to why he was chosen. Not to diminish his tremendous body of work, but rather by the definition of the rules laid down by Alfred Nobel in his will:

"All of my remaining realisable assets are to be disbursed as follows: the capital, converted to safe securities by my executors, is to constitute a fund, the interest on which is to be distributed annually as prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind … one part to the person who, in the field of literature, produced the most outstanding work in an ideal direction;"

Has anyone any insight on this?

In German we have a word more specific, I'd argue: "Fremdschämen". It means literally "foreign-shame". It is the feeling of exactly that, seeing someone doing something embarrassing, and feeling ashamed for them in their perspective. Which I would say is a form of empathy.

Hilarious because the author, and the OP author, are literally zipping `/dev/null`. While they realize that it "doesn't take disk space nor ram", I feel like the coin didn't drop for them.

Think about it:

  $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=10M | gzip -9 > 10M.gzip
  $ ls -sh 10M.gzip 
  12K 10M.gzip

Other than that, why serve gzip anyway? I would not set the Content-Length Header and throttle the connection and set the MIME type to something random, hell just octet-stream, and redirect to '/dev/random'.

I don't get the 'zip bomb' concept, all you are doing is compressing zeros. Why not compress '/dev/random'? You'll get a much larger file, and if the bot receives it, it'll have a lot more CPU cycles to churn.

Even the OP article states that after creating the '10GB.gzip' that 'The resulting file is 10MB in this case.'.

Is it because it sounds big?

Here is how you don't waste time with 'zip bombs':

  $ time dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=10M | gzip -9 > 10M.gzip
  10485760+0 records in
  10485760+0 records out
  10485760 bytes (10 MB, 10 MiB) copied, 9.46271 s, 1.1 MB/s

  real    0m9.467s
  user    0m2.417s
  sys     0m14.887s
  $ ls -sh 10M.gzip 
  12K 10M.gzip

  $ time dd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=10M | gzip -9 > 10M.gzip
  10485760+0 records in
  10485760+0 records out
  10485760 bytes (10 MB, 10 MiB) copied, 12.5784 s, 834 kB/s

  real    0m12.584s
  user    0m3.190s
  sys     0m18.021s

  $ ls -sh 10M.gzip 
  11M 10M.gzip

FYI, it doesn't use Gnome. It uses it's own DE based on Vala/GTK+/libmutter.

Nitpick... LXC containers is the equivalent to saying the HIV virus, or more recently SARS-CoV-2 virus

Sorry, you are right. That being said, it's a remarkable approach to messaging. E2E, decentralized, can be used over WiFi, Tor, Bluetooth (In case there is a blockage)[1]. Has been pentest reviewed[2] before the first release.

Or to sum up:

"Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance."

I was in a somewhat close vicinity for the 2010 one, about 3km away. It occurred in Göttingen[1], I was studying for an exam and at around 10pm I heard a rather loud dull/muffled bang and my windows vibrated. 3 people from the Kampfmittelräumdienst[2] died while trying to disarm a 500kg bomb with a chemical trigger, 2 were heavily injured and 4 slightly.

Update: Around 7000 people were evacuated before the disarming took place.

Also of note, English speakers really have trouble pronouncing either correctly (They get conflated, really. As in, pronouncing ck/ch). Hence the confusion. (Anecdotally, I have lived for years(4) in the States.)

FYI, it's "Nacht/Nackt Wandern". No such thing as wandelen (Apparently Dutch, as noted below). German OCD kicking in, please ignore ;-)

GNU Hurd is a microkernel, not an unikernel

This is pretty much how elementaryOS started. If I remember correctly, Daniel Foré started an icon set, then Xubuntu was forked and reskinned. As more developers flocked to elementaryOS, the whole desktop stack was rebuild on GTK+ and Vala.

In fact, Enso OS is pretty much a mix of Xubuntu and elementaryOS:

> The window manager is a fork from gala https://github.com/nick92/Enso-OS/tree/master/galal

> The Greeter is a fork of pantheon-greeter https://github.com/nick92/Enso-OS/tree/master/greeter

> The application menu is a fork of slingshot-launcher https://github.com/nick92/Enso-OS/tree/master/panther_launch...

> It also uses elementaryOSs AppCenter (renamed to App Hive) https://github.com/nick92/apphive

The workaround would be pretty simple to implement. Cookies are only needed when you need 'state' between the client and server, so only serve cookies when you need state. The very first instance of state should be the very first instance of a cookie warning. Of course, once you have implemented cookie based tracking, this doesn't work anymore.

There are some interesting comments further in the mail thread from Matthew Ahrens (co-creator of ZFS) and Alan Jude (has recently been working on getting zstandard into ZFS) that give more insight.

Matthew Ahrens[1]:

…Being "upstream" is more a matter of degree than an absolute ordering. In the past, most ZFS features have originated in illumos, and those changes have been ported to the other platforms (notably FreeBSD and ZoL). Looking forward, we see more features originating in ZoL. The OpenZFS community (including FreeBSD) is working to put in place technical processes to ensure that new ZFS features are available on all platforms. The original post in this thread was a proposal for how to do that.

Alan Jude[2]:

…The way that things have evolved over the last few years means it would be much more difficult to just import changes from ZoL. ZoL was originally far behind the OpenZFS repo, but as they were catching up, they were also fixing bugs and adding features. So there is not really a common point in the source we could start from to import ZoL commit by commit.… The biggest thing to remember is that this is still OpenZFS, and still run by the same developers as it has been. We are just commonizing on the repo that has the most features integrated into it.

Comparing a RDBMS with an object database is pretty useless for benchmarking.

I'd be more interested to see comparison to, for example, Realm[1].

Right, I overlooked the "FF D8 FF"[1] part

Going further, the cuedevres.bin file seems to include at least 1 Photoshop file:

It looks like cuedevres.bin is more of a source file for cueres.bin. It would be interesting if you would rename it and see if iCue is still working.

Assuming you are referring to the iCue Software:

About 72M comes from the directories plugins (some pngs), GameSdkEffects, driver and QtQuick[1]:

  ~/Downloads/Program Files/Corsair/iCUE  du -d1 -h | sort -rh
  421M    .
  28M     ./plugins
  19M     ./GameSdkEffects
  13M     ./driver
  12M     ./QtQuick
  5.4M    ./sounds
  5.2M    ./translations
  3.2M    ./System
  1.4M    ./imageformats
  1.2M    ./QtGraphicalEffects
  1.2M    ./platforms
  406K    ./predefined_data
  367K    ./QtMultimedia
  358K    ./mediaservice
  286K    ./QtQuick.2
  265K    ./scenegraph
  134K    ./QtQml
  130K    ./audio
  105K    ./Qt
  77K     ./legal
  33K     ./iconengines
  25K     ./playlistformats

The bulk comes from these files:

  ~/Downloads/Program Files/Corsair/iCUE  ls -shS | head -10
  total 333M
  158M cuedevres.bin
   51M cueres.bin
   36M iCUE.exe
   16M opengl32sw.dll
   14M vcredist_x86.exe
  4.8M Qt5Gui.dll
  4.8M efm8load.exe
  4.7M Qt5Core.dll
  4.4M Qt5Widgets.dll

The bin files are identified as:

  ~/Downloads/Program Files/Corsair/iCUE  file *.bin
  cuedevres.bin:   Qt Binary Resource file
  cueres.bin:      Qt Binary Resource file
  manifestres.bin: Qt Binary Resource file

So, it's mostly the QtQuick framework.
