On Linux, you could create a udev rule to give you permissions on any attached raw disks (if you feel particularly adventurous). What's the license for ffs?
Stunts was the greatest! You could make your own tracks, save replays and (IIRC) even resume gameplay from any point in the replay. My very favorite game of all time.
.. and have been for a long time. I don't remember the last time I reached for a hand-written SDK for a HTTP API. It's always some codegen affair. But out-of-the-box experience for many codegen tools is that the…
Mine too! Another Lightwave-produced show I loved was Space: Above & Beyond.

Sounds interesting. What's the title?
It is subject to legislation and certification, but it's harder to lobby when you can't privatize the direct costs. Still, scams are common (e.g. inflated medical equipment costs). I guess hustlers gonna hustle in any…
Others pointed plenty of arguments, but the ones I find most compelling (not necessarily useful in this context) are: - you can serve any number of disjoint websocket services via same port via HTTP routing - this also…
Sure, socketpairs on Linux.
Care to elaborate?
My cynical take is this is regulatory capture on part of the most lucrative tech sector in the next few years, in return for campaign contributions.
Wow, that's massive. I guess it's inevitable that a popular piece of open-source software for end-users will be compelled to accrue dependencies due to popular demand for features that require them. I feel Telegraf made…
In every program that uses a particular feature from the stdlib. Given the same feature, I tend to trust stdlib more than some rando project. And if you don't trust the stdlib, why would you trust the compiler?

Clearly you didn't read my socrates note.
FIPS and "be secure" aren't necessarily a full overlap: there's plenty of ways to be secure that isn't even allowed in FIPS, so you need to actively disable that set if you run FIPS mode (depending on libraries used,…
Does this mean FIPS-enabled software never runs as such in production (or at all) in environments where it is supposedly mandated?
I like the "go generate" approach to integrate such tools. I used a different (but identically named) go-enum tool [0], which accepts the go type and generates implementations for a bunch of interfaces. The neat thing…
If you want to relive some the joy of X-Wing, X-Wing Alliance Update (XWAU) modernizes the XWA game (including VR support). For TIE Fighter afficionados, there is even a TIE Fighter Total Conversion project that…
Interesting. Can you expand a bit on the kinds of problems that websockets would encounter with such middleware? I've seen a fair share of surprises on just TCP from DPI/MitM and high bandwidth-delay products, so I'm…

I heartily agree. Don't treat yourself like a 3rd party.
Thanks for the blog post. Ep383 of the Linux Unplugged podcast [1] also went into detail with CentOS members. What CentOS gave you until Stream was (with some delay) the "same" set of packages that RedHat released in…
I once used make to jury-rig a fairly complex set of backup jobs for a customer on a very short notice. Jobs were grouped and each group was allowed to run a certain number of jobs in parallel, and some jobs had a…
