Since you seem to have some idea of what you're talking about: how would you compare the BSD-based firewall distros to the Linux-based firewall distros? Personally, I'm partial to VyOS, simply because I have the most experience with it. (Or rather, its fork, EdgeOS)

> In other words, you clicked allow before your brain had time to stop you. How do you prevent this?

The best SU apps have a timeout on the popup specifically to prevent this. I specifically use phh superuser (or, rather, MagiskSU) which has a 2 or 3 second timer from when the popup shows up till you can press accept.

> Support for importing and exporting OpenSSH's new private key format

What new private key format is that?

I know it's not a traditional terminal, but GateOne actually has this. It's pretty interesting to use, weird to see a full quality picture in the middle of a terminal.

Oh, okay. Thanks. I thought there wasn't even such a thing as an admin for Grav.

Okay, thanks for the info. I'm not planning on doing any web dev as more than a hobby, but it's good to have a go-to when I get another "client".

I thought LucasArts still owned the IP, but Disney owned LucasArts?

They could just try not having jacked prices and offering good packages. Their customer-base would skyrocket and revenue would more than cover costs.

> easily litigated

Nothing in the US is "easily" litigated, especially not when you're up against a multimedia conglomerate and a portion of the government itself.

> I still work full-time as a Systems Engineer

I hope then that you're not the only person working at NEPA Fiber. How many employees do you have?

It has code highlighting? This is news to me.

The thing is, you know what you're doing. He makes a fair point in that his target audience is people who don't know what they're doing, which is inevitably going to lead to people downloading "brand new updates" that are full of malware, or worse, backdoored.

> Can also run -snip- without admin interface

Is running it with an admin interface an option? I'm looking for a good CMS I can deploy for others (less tech-inclined) where they could still make their own small changes.

If ZFS is anything like BTRFS, then I don't think ECC is super necessary. Yeah, it'll prevent problem from eventually cropping up when the RAM shits itself, but it's not like those issues compound silently in the night. When my ram started going a bit down the drain, (Flipping the occasional bit. Rare enough that the system still ran fine) I was hounded with checksum errors and any attempt to work with the data was met with error messages until I got new RAM. I don't think ECC is really all that important unless you're dealing with data worth thousands of dollars or more.

Also game hacking. I remember teaching myself VB to make flash game trainers. Would be interesting to find maybe some open-source HTML5/JS games and teach the kids to hack the JS to do what they want. With kids, it tends to help if you give them an existing foundation to build on or work around.

> If password is short, it's still gonna be quick to crack

Only if the cracker is brute-forcing instead of using common passwords mixed with dictionary words, and if the brute-forcer thought to implement emojis. Given how many emojis there are, it would by psychotic to include them in a brute-force attack unless you already know the person used emojis.

Good to know, thanks.

Not really. I doubt it's better than the existing CPU coolers we use, CPU coolers just aren't practical for cooling buildings.

It's just ESDF, just move your WASD fingers one to the right. Works great for touch-typists because we don't have to move our hands. I highly suggest you give it a shot.

> Though neovim already uses XDG base directory specification, but vim still doesn't

Aaaaand now I want to switch to neovim.

> gotten good with the WADS/FPS controls

It's never too early to get them started on ESDF.

I just told you why: it's still universal.

USBC is no less Universal than micro USB.

> up

You realize that USB ports aren't always "up & down". Sometimes they're sideways. Sometimes they're reversed.

As someone with a USB C phone who is trying to convert all my devices to it: reversibility is far from a necessity, I did just fine for years with USB B on my phones, but it is extremely nice to not have to even think about direction. And now, it is noticeably annoying when I have to use MicroUSB.

It's still universal, that's why you can get a USB A to USB C cable that doesn't need any kind of chip in it.

You're crazy if you think that 4-conductor rectangular non-reversible connector was going to be the end-all be-all for USB forever. We had to upgrade eventually. Be thankful that this change is being relatively swift and reasonably future-proof. USB C should be good for quite a few more years.

I can't think of a good way to put it without just giving examples, so here goes:

    1.0 = 100% usage of a 1-core system
    1.0 = 50% usage of a 2-core system
    4.0 = 50% usage of an 8-core system
    8.0 = 100% usage of an 8-core system

And IIRC, load average is represented usually as 3 numbers, which are over the last 5, 10, and 15 minutes.

But muh Windows

I don't know anything about h265 CPU accelerators, I'm comparing GPU HEVC (h265) encoding with a dedicated chip on the GPU to standard CPU encoding. (Using libx265 IIRC)

My point is that you can't really "learn" an OS. Linux distros are a combination of hundreds or thousands of tools. Yeah, you could get the hang of using Ubuntu in under a day, but you can't just "learn" all the stuff it can do.

> everyone realized the quality was worse and not much faster

I can't speak for the h264 situation, as I wasn't involved at the time, but with the newer h265 hardware, it is obnoxiously faster with minimal (in terms of end-user, not distributor) quality loss.

> Now...is there something like this for Ubuntu?

As in a similar tutorial for Ubuntu? If that's what you're asking, then not really. Pretty difficult to learn an OS. Though you might be able to find some similar stuff for bash or vim if you look hard enough.
