Trying out bat (the cat(1) alternative) for the first time, and … I dunno, the flushing behavior seems bonkers.

I assume it's because stdout and stderr end up in separate places, and maybe cat isn't innocent here either, but having the output split _inside_ of an escape code (note the "31m") looks like there's something really wrong.

("bar" does not exist; that's on purpose to produce an error message.)

"batcat LICENSE.txt bar | cat" prints an error message "[bat error]: 'bar': No such file or directory (os error 2)", followed by the MIT license contained in LICENSE.txt.

The "[bat error]" in the error message is printed in red.Same command; this time, the error message is printed below the license.Same command. This time, the red "[bat error]" is printed first, followed by (without a line break) the first line of the license, followed by the rest of the license as normal. After the end of the license there's the colon that would normally come after the "[bat error]", followed by the rest of the error message.Same command. This time, the license is printed first. The last line of the license, which normally contains just the word "software", followed by a period, now has an additional empty line before it and is missing the "s". Below it, there's a line containing "31m[bat error]", followed by the rest of the error message.

Have 10mins to deepen your understanding of like systems?

Check the utistd.h page. This is the header file that provides access to the POSIX operating system API. Even a quick browse can show you how your program talks with your OS.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unistd.h

For example whenever your program needs a higher privilege (or to act as another user), it calls `setuid` for that. Or starts with `sudo/doas` to have a higher access but calls `setuid` to become "nobody" in most of its life cycle.

If still have a click to spare, check the setuid.h on man pages:

man.openbsd.org/setuid.2

in most cases OpenBSD man pages are the best references you need to understand the OS.

I started messing with Koji a bit again. I've been having a weird issue I can't seem to track down where if I build coreutils I can't build anything else. For whatever reason Koji couldn't find the package despite it being there. This is the sole reason why I decided to take a break from Oela Box for a while. Koji just stopped working correctly one day without any changes to its setup or Oela Box.

I decided to start doing some experimenting. I want to slim down EL development tools to make them a little easier to work with and at the same time hopefully make them more powerful.

Right now I'm getting myself familiar with some of Mock's other features. First I'm learning how building from SCM works in Mock. It's a little tricky and works quite differently from how Koji does it, but I find it fairly interesting.

Next I want to see if I can simulate Koji's tagging system by having a local repository that gets checked for package dependencies first.

I'm Laurent, a computer science student on the second year of my bachelor's degree. I come from Quebec City.

I like to program in with C++ and . I'm passionate about operating systems, my favourite being . I also use and my distribution of choice is .

Other than tech I like coffee, beer, books, series and music. I listen mainly to post-punk and jazz. I'm currently reading l'Île Mystérieuse by Jules Verne (almost done with it). I like Nietzsche, Sartre, Camus, Dostoyevsky, Balzac and Aragon.

I like philosophy and politics. I'm a syndicalist and a nihilist (although somewhat optimistic). I think that collectivism is beautiful, but in the world we live in it can only bring pain because bad actors often win. My philosophy is to live my own life and try not to look too far at the bad that happens, because it's overwhelming and it always exists. There will always be bad things happening and focusing on these things makes you miserable. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't fight to prevent bad from happening for someone you hold dearly.

I live in Quebec City and I like my city. It's not too big, not too small, although it's very car centered and I don't like cars. I like my university, l'Université Laval. After my bachelor's, I want a master's degree and if I'm lucky enough I want to go for a doctorate's.

Software is my biggest passion, I prefer it open source. I think permissive licenses are fine and I understand GNU's philosophy but I wouldn't apply it to my software. I don't like holding a gun to someone's head for them to give back, I think most people are good enough to do it themselves.

Well this dragged on. My alts are @clf@mas.to and @xi, I will be using them all but bsd.cafe is my new home. I prefer my community to be BSD oriented but I don't really like glitch soc. It holds the mastodon version back for a few features that no one is using.

Up until the end of the 2.6 era or so, the kernel had relatively few options to set. You could reasonably go through the configurator and set up a fine-tuned build for your machine in half an hour or so. This 2.2.5 kernel from Debian Slink has only 324 options, and the tree takes up a bit over 50 megs of disk space.

I play older games on but I also wanted to play Dirt Rally 2.0 or Wreckfest for example - and no focus on fighting with WINE setup - and did not wanted to do the same under - so I just dual boot between two physical SSD drives using BIOS bootloader [F8 in my case] and I use 10 Enterprise LTSC from 21H2. Works quite well - sometimes reboots - but not that often - and being LTSC/Enterprise edition - it allows to disable even more telemetry shit.

I also use 'Debloater' on it - as its only for gaming and NO real data at all - maybe saved games - github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Deb - I believe this is the right link.

In the past I also used Atlas OS (trimmed to minimum 10) - atlasos.net/ - but too much things were cut and I moved to 'full' version.

Also some time ago Atlas OS changed their 'way' with providing a 'framework' where You pick what should be removed and what left - but I just wanted to play and do not waste time on this - so I just use LTSC + Debloater and it mostly works.

So my just catastrophically self-destructed. I was using arch with the yubikey full-disk encryption package, when the machine hung and crashed during a system update. The machine crashed exactly after the old initramfs files were cleaned up, and before the new ones were written to disk. Since the yubkikey fde thing stores the seed ("challenge") for the luks key in the initramfs, all copies of the seed are gone now, and the data on that disk is unrecoverable.

In my tech life, there are some constants like BSDs and Linux, as well as changes that reflect the evolution of technology. I've cyclically used operating systems like MacOS, Linux, and BSDs on my workstations. My journey with mobile devices started before the advent of smartphones, transitioning through the eras of Symbian and BlackBerry, and more recently to iOS and Android.
In 2020, during the lockdown and due to having a mid-range, somewhat outdated smartphone, I decided to switch back to iOS to take advantage of the period's deals. I predominantly used an iPhone for about three years before returning to Android for various reasons. Now, as I deliberate over which browser and email client to use, I'm reminded of how on iOS, life was simpler: all browsers were essentially Safari in disguise, and the integrated Mail client was the least resource-intensive and best integrated with the Apple Watch.

I have one little piece of custom platform-specific code in .

Background is that 's QFileSystemWatcher doesn't work correctly on (and probably other network filesystems). It uses some platform mechanism (e.g. inotify on , kqueue on ) internally, so exact behavior probably depends on the platform. On FreeBSD, it *seemed* to work, but only when the change to the file on NFS is done from the local machine. 🙄

Now regarding this code:
github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/blob/
-- I still have doubts.

▪ Should it check for other filesystems as well? Which ones?
▪ Will this construct checking for 'BSD4_4' in <sys/param.h> reliably detect every OS derived from 4.4BSD (assuming a POSIXy system that *has* sys/param.h)?
▪ Should it have implementations for *other* POSIXy systems than 4.4BSD-descendants and Linux?
▪ Why the hell is there no standard for checking the *filesystem* a file resides on? 🧐😁

Reproducible builds - pros/cons

Instructor allowed me to quote his take on Pros and Cons of reproducible builds. Because, i found this very informative i want to share with others.

Original author: Nathan House (Station X)

"Reproducible builds involve a compilation process that generates the same binary or executable output for a given source code, regardless of the building environment. This approach offers various pros and cons when it comes to security, privacy, and anonymity.

Pros:

1. Trustworthiness: Reproducible builds ensure that the released binary is built from the published source code, allowing users to trust the software without having to compile it themselves.

2. Tamper detection: Any attempts to introduce backdoors or malware during the build process can be detected, as the output can be verified against the expected result.

3. Collaborative verification: Multiple parties can independently verify the builds, increasing confidence in the software's integrity.

4. Supply chain security: Reproducible builds can help mitigate supply chain attacks by ensuring the integrity of the code throughout the development, build, and distribution process.

Cons:

1. Increased complexity: Implementing reproducible builds can be complex and time-consuming, requiring consistent build environments and careful management of dependencies.

2. Limited scope: Reproducible builds only ensure the integrity of the build process and do not guarantee that the source code is free of vulnerabilities or malicious code.

3. False sense of security: Users may assume that reproducible builds imply that the software is entirely secure, while they only guarantee that the build process is consistent and hasn't been tampered with.

4. Overhead: Maintaining a reproducible build environment may introduce additional overhead for developers, potentially slowing down the development process.

Overall, reproducible builds can significantly enhance security, privacy, and anonymity in the software development process. However, their implementation requires careful planning and may introduce challenges and complexities that need to be managed effectively."

My silver HP ProBook 4540s running Fedora Linux. The screen is showing the upgrade process from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40 with a progress bar, which currently is at zero percent.

@david_chisnall yep, it's kinda ridiculous, and don't get me started about FreeBSD having kTLS vs (linux's marginal improvements on top of self-congratulatory marginal performance)

oh, but 'Linus dictatorman', please do tell us all about the superiority of kernel features that struggle with NUMA balancing and management, or the convoluted nature of SR-IOV integration or... let's just say the list is extensive...

Bad and freeloader behaviour
AnthropicAI. reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1c Please boost to shame them.

Title: Claude AI - name and shame

I'm a mint user, regular contributor to the LM forum. Our forum went down today. Message from one of the mods when it was restored:

Claude AI is a new AI chatbot by the company Anthropic. They're scraping websites to train their chatbot for free. They're doing it in a way that causes so much extra load on websites, it's effectively a DDos attack. Sometime yesterday their "ClaudeBot" started scraping the forums and this caused very poor performance of the forums for several hours and ultimately led to an outage.

ClaudeBot is now blocked at the firewall and forums performance should be back to normal.

Went looking for Anthropic, found no way of contacting them to complain (you end up going in circles). So posted here, not that I expect it will make any difference to their behaviour.

Update:

To put it into perspective: over the same time period ClaudeBot caused 20 times as much traffic as the 2nd worst bot and 40 times as much as the 3rd worst bot. The traffic from all other bots combined was a blip in comparison. We've blocked several other bots in the past for doing the same as ClaudeBot but as you can see most bots aren't an issue.

I'm reusing my Pixel 7 with Graphene OS using a secondary SIM.
It's truly excellent work; it works wonderfully, and the phone is noticeably more responsive compared to Google's Android.
I suggest everyone with a compatible Pixel device to give it a try; I don't think you'll go back.

In case you missed it, I suggest reading the series 'The Hermit Project' that @tara wrote and published on her blog.
It's really interesting and can be inspiring for many of us.

Fedora Project (F40 is OUT) »
@fedora@fosstodon.org

Fedora IoT 40 got some cool under-the-hood changes.

First is that Fedora IoT now uses the unified core model, making them the last rpm-ostree variant to make the switch.
fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes

Second is that Fedora IoT will be the first rpm-ostree variant to be a bootable container image. You will literally be swapping to newer and newer container images when you update, which really emphasizes the idea of atomicity.
