kerberos solves the problem that you can have short one time tokens using your password.

Add public key infrastructure support, make ldap the default store and you got AD. Even better, you can throw all the OAuth crap down the drain.

now, starting services with a password becomes an issue of booting the machine.

sssd is a dogpile of dogcrap. I have 15 tickets on github about fixing their manpages.

and you really need to read the kerberos book before picking up sssd.

Where do I find money to fund my rewrite of Kerberos 5 in Rust, removing the dumb options and Kerberos 4 compatibility and eventually create Kerberos 6 + AD that will solve a metric buttload of issues in Linux and knock a major peg of MS off?

They got enough slush money to make this go on for a couple of years.

I am shocked at the part they know it is a bubble and they are doing nothing to amortize it. Which means they expect the government to step in and save their butts.

... Well, not that shocked.

Yeah, exactly: it is an implied threat: "If I go, I am taking you down with me"

What I am working on is my masters thesis in bioinformatics supports/HPC: "Predicting the running time of bioinformatics tools", by running (initially) 5 tools 1000 times each with different parameters and then fitting a curve.

I am pretty sure I can get 70% predation rates +/- 10% . Unfortunately, I'm blocked by the lack of hardware. Kind of not-quite school affiliated (so I cannot really ask for national computing resources), so I am trying to build a single threaripper pro node on my own. Hurts the wallet, but if added to slurm as module, this can have implications.

It is better to remember Dennis Ritchie instead: Humble man, great engineer, brilliant in his designs.

So, what you are saying is we need a cat with a phat wallet to fund development on the thing and make it sleek.

It would really be a real competitor with linux in the server market.

Yeah, pretty much. This feels like a piece of "how do i vibe-code the command line, while my options vest"

How about you learn what the heck you are doing?

From Marx to Zizek to Fukuyama^1, 200 years of Leftist thinking nobody has ever came close to say "we can fix capitalism".

What makes you think that LLMs can do it?

[1] relapsed capitalist, at best, check the recent Doomscroll interview

Lovely. More neo-liberalism in neo-hippy format. The next Burning Man: Save the planet, compute in older hardware.

Detractors: You can't be anti-capitalist without being on the other side. Also, you can't put individual issues above societal issues.

So, what you are saying is be part of the deliverable, get a good chunk of the budget but one that does not stand out, maybe have a second partner that does not share your last name, do minimal work, enjoy brunch wherever you land?

That is quite the arbitrary distinction. There are plenty of sysadmins that code and/or hold compsci degrees.

corroborating packages between fedora and debian, but for off-line usage.

Please don't. Technical debt accumulates by force of practice.

sorry for the not-so-smart question.

the cheats are software, software has certain quirks, like the way it aims or the way it tracks. And I'm willing to bet it has enough distinctiveness from human aiming to be classified. Couldn't a classifier work on the behavior of the cheating software itself, rather than use IP bans?

He also said that it was a shopping bag, so it was a "gift from the Gods". /s

Let's not bring up that questionable credentials dude here.

would maintaining a map of products product_x[supermarket] with 2-3 values work? I don't suspect that supermarkets would be very keen to change the name (but they might play other dirty games)

I am thinking of doing the same thing for linux packages in debian and fedora

fyi, I posted this on /r/greece

sorry, i just have a silly question: what would it take to send new probes out there? voyager 3 and 4 for example to follow the same path (more or less, sans planet alignment) V1 and V2 followed, but with better hardware of course.

Really? I'm Greek and that's the first time I hear about this. Do you have any more info, please?

> Helen and Paris

Apologies for nitpicking but on the picture it says "Αλέξανδρος"/Alexander, not Paris

It's not about the percentages. It is about the ownership of the means of this centralized techno-capital, to which we have none. It is about the democratization of that capital, even if we have to nationalize it.

In Greece right now, there is a scandal from an MP of the ruling party, grabbing electoral data right from the Ministry of Interior and using it for the EU Parliament elections. She had to withdraw her candidacy.

Call me paranoid, but I have a hunch that Cambridge Analytica never went away and the whole thing was used as a demo to show that their techniques can be used for other campaigns.

Go QA! Next, sysadmins turn LOPSA into a union!

in HPC systems, especially in bioinformatics, astrodynamics or fluid dynamics, if you don't have swap, you are asking for trouble, mostly cuz the code has been written by graduates of each field who can't program

i watch neither. youtube mostly, but that's only instructional videos or something.

Why has there to be an alternative?

Just don't. Roku is not exactly solving world hunger, it is not essential.

Correct. But you can always be kind and use a 302 to redirect to the URI you are currently using...

speaking of... wonder if there are any 302 redirect managing software...

you must be management, cuz

1. you think it's the sysadmin's fault

2. there are no competent sysadmins out there
