fuzzybear3965··on The groundbreaking plan to map the entire human immune system
You've heard about successes in HIV vaccine development or in HIV treatment (like anti-retrovirals)?
fuzzybear3965··on French publisher arrested in London for refusal to tell police his passcodes
If you figure that out then let me know. Seems impossible to me. Maybe when brain scanning technology advances they'll be able to know what you're thinking.
fuzzybear3965··on Bob Lee, former CTO of Square, has died after being stabbed in San Francisco
I've never filed a use-of-force complaint. Have you? It might be a simple form (that your state-provided attorney may recommend that you fill out).
fuzzybear3965··on Tailscale Funnel now available in beta
Kind of in the sense that it exposes a LAN-accessible service to the WAN, it seems to me. Also kind of like ngrok in the same sense.
fuzzybear3965··on DreamWorks releases OpenMoonRay source code
Even still, what's the incentive to open-source? So the community can bootstrap a better solution than Pixar?
fuzzybear3965··on My network home setup – v4.0
Maybe he did report them and maybe their license wasn't revoked. He's only repeating a joke that the electrician and the certification committee told him. I wouldn't blame the victim, here.
fuzzybear3965··on Not-OS – NixOS-based OS generator that outputs an OS with 47MB squashfs (2022)
IIRC, Magic was trying to get runit working. But, the idea would be that the init system is modular/swappable.

The answers are in the source, though.

fuzzybear3965··on How to Destroy Google
Not generally. The author did mention Peertube and Odysee as alternative video platforms, though.
fuzzybear3965··on FTX closes in on a deal to buy embattled crypto lender BlockFi for $25M
Fake news.
fuzzybear3965··on Switch to VPC Endpoints from Nat Gateways to Reduce Bandwidth Charges
I don't understand

> listen on one port ... which isn't listening on that interface anyway

Would you mind please elaborating, here? And which interface does sshd not listen on?

fuzzybear3965··on EU reaches deal to make USB-C a common charger for most electronic devices
It seems that USB-C for _Lenovo_ laptop power ports seems to be incredibly flaky. I have 2 year-old HP Spectre x360 and a new Framework and I've had no problems with charging either of them from a number of different USB-C cables, wall adapters, and even a power delivery monitor (Dell U2520D).
fuzzybear3965··on The new and upgraded Framework Laptop
Thank you!!!
fuzzybear3965··on The new and upgraded Framework Laptop
Ditto.
fuzzybear3965··on You can do a lot with an empty file
I always thought that 128+ are for (shell-spawned) processes and 0-127 are for shell. But, apparently POSIX requires this behavior for empty files - we need to amend the standard, first (or fail to comply, muahahaha).
fuzzybear3965··on You can do a lot with an empty file
Okay, yeah. That could be useful. Seems POSIX forces the behavior described in the blog post. Time to change the standard!
fuzzybear3965··on You can do a lot with an empty file
Shells return exit codes, not typed error values. What kind of output would you expect from the shell, exactly?
fuzzybear3965··on Stripe Crypto
Thanks for the link. I didn't find that quote in the article, but maybe it was in there. If it's not in there then it's crazy that you linked that article saying "Peter Thiel" - another commenter said the same thing. If it's in there then it's weird that my quoted Google Search didn't yield at least that article.
fuzzybear3965··on Stripe Crypto
I searched for who said this but came up empty. Where is this quote from?
fuzzybear3965··on Pure Bash Bible – A collection of pure bash alternatives to external processes
If it doesn't support any of your users/co-workers then there's no need. But, there's nothing requiring the enforcement of the FHS in the linux kernel, so, generally, you can't take it's conformance for granted.

If something works for X% of people and a trivial change makes it work for Y% of people (Y > X) then I advocate for making that trivial change.

fuzzybear3965··on I tested four NVMe SSDs from four vendors – half lose FLUSH’d data on power loss
How do you know the model? People are asking the same question in Twitter and OP doesn't seem to have supplied an answer, then.
fuzzybear3965··on Pure Bash Bible – A collection of pure bash alternatives to external processes
Maybe I shouldn't pick a battle with someone that has that handle .

But, in all seriousness, you're right - you're making a trade. The question is which side of the trade is more portable. I use NixOS which doesn't have bash in /bin. So, I've had to ask people on my team to replace the hashbang. The /usr/bin/env hashbang has yet to fail on any machine so, anecdotally, it seems more portable.

fuzzybear3965··on Our User-Mode WireGuard Year
Ohhhh. Their clocks run slowly. A lot of time passes between events. Totally makes sense. Thanks!
fuzzybear3965··on Our User-Mode WireGuard Year
Right - I understood that it was the walking tree from Lord of the Rings. But, what does it mean for Consul to hold a walking tree?

Is it something like: "Consul bears a heavy weight (has a lot of responsibility and so responds slowly)"?

fuzzybear3965··on Our User-Mode WireGuard Year
Help me out. This threw me for a loop and Google wasn't helpful.
fuzzybear3965··on I got an FBI record at age 11 from dabbling in cryptography (2015)
As a native speaker it appears to me that your audience is being a little uncharitable (they being, ironically, intellectually ungenerous toward you).
fuzzybear3965··on OneNDA – We've Standardised the NDA
Title? Probably should be

"OneNDA - We've Standardised the NDA"

fuzzybear3965··on I Spent Hundreds of Hours Working in VR
SimulaVR [1] is introducing a new class of products (virtual reality computer or VRC) that aims to develop a full linux desktop in a headset. I'm excited about using this with Stardust XR [2] and my NixOS configuration.

We're obviously in a very early stage of consumer VR hardware and I agree with most people that AR (passthrough or glasses) would be preferable to VR. There are a lot of open problems in this space - a lot of these problems spoil the user experience, right now. But, engineers are solving them slowly over time and I don't predict a future (say 50 years from now) where people are still using their fingers to peck at keys and are still stuck with a 25" monitor (at least in the majority of cases).

Happy to be an early adopter - maybe I'll even discover some problems that I can solve and benefit from the inevitable deluge of capital.

fuzzybear3965··on Log4Shell update: second Log4j vulnerability published
You're like the Pfizer of the JVM.
fuzzybear3965··on The World’s Greatest Freediver
It depends on how you define safety. And, I think the comparison, here, isn't being made to sitting on a couch (which carries its own health risks) but to other professional sports, or maybe its being compared to the safety of even amateur competition across sports. Elite physical competition always carries some risks of injury (even death) - those have to be balanced against the benefits of competing.

Definitely there are more dangerous sports that we would consider safe (American football, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, etc.), where "safe" is defined as "would encourage, or not admonish, our children from pursuing".

fuzzybear3965··on Legend
Yeah, I agree. That's what I tried to say.
