Ah, the Crypto Wars…
Living 20 minutes into the future. Eccentric weirdo. Virtual Adept. Time traveler. Thelemite. Technomage. Hacker on main. APT 3319. Not human. 30% software and implants. H+ - 0.4 on the Berram-7 scale. Furry adjacent. Pan/poly. Burnout.
I try to post as sincerely as possible.
Ah, the Crypto Wars…
Nah. If anything, USian and non-Russian companies will add one or two more devs to their efforts to take up the slack. Linux is the bedrock of their revenue streams.
The US and EU governments have the criteria for sanctions available.
Probably because the advice in question was lengthy and technical (subtype: laws and legality), and the short form had the disclaimer "Please don’t publish the short form because it’s too much like giving legal advice.) Something similar happened back in 2012 with Project Byzantium, when we were consulting with the EFF with respect to having cryptographic libraries included in the distro.
Arguably, ITAR set the precedent in the 1990’s during the crypto wars. USians used to have to travel to Canada to work on cryptographic code in OpenBSD because their commits couldn’t legally be exported.
Money and violence, the twin forces that make the world go 'round.
But then there would be no Internet! /s
Somebody testing their latest botnet before trying to monetize it?
Let’s see… Ventoy is a tool intended for sysadmins to use.
Something sketchy is going on in a tool sysadmins use when working on the crown jewels.
What could possibly go wrong? /s
New York, DC, and LA as well. If one doesn’t want a polite knock, one doesn’t speak ill of the CCP.
All of my servers make local dumps of their databases and config files to directories owned by unprivileged users. This includes file paths, permissions, and ownerships (so I know how to put them back).
My primary research server at home uses rsync to pull copies of those local backups from my servers.
My primary research server uses Restic to make a daily incremental backup to Backblaze’s B2 service.
Makes you wonder why so many people want to be rich and powerful, doesn’t it?
They seem more concerned with their bonuses and stock buybacks. In August Intel announced that they’d be laying off 15k workers to “save” $10 billion US. They’re also cutting back on R&D for the same reason. I guess the MBAs decided that losing customers by hamstringing Linux users is an acceptable loss. Not like folks won’t forget about this six months from now, anyway…
Even when you try to turn them off.
The additional compilation overhead is a good stress test for a new kernel? /j
That was one of the big selling points of Audacious (and XMMS back in the day) - Winamp skin support.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done anything with GnuPG, but I still have the presentation I did some years back on my website. It might help.
It was terrible in the 90’s. Since CUPS became standard around 2000 it’s significantly easier.
Hey - an explanation. Who’da’thunk it?
