Even a compositor is unnecessary to fix screen tearing these days: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...
It depends which features you need, but interestingly Google has another, lighter weight gallery app called Google Gallery that does not have any cloud features built in.
I would have liked to have seen if there was any difference in the effects over time. I think it is easy to find something that helps with anxiety in the short term, but over enough time habituation, tolerance, and…
I don't know if it is sufficient to prevent the race, but the article does mention that they check for DestroyNotify events after the grab.
> I wonder if there's some nuance missed here. The natural follow-up question in my head is: can the scientific method ever support a supernatural explanation? What could such an explanation look like? How could it have…

Gentoo has an amazingly awesome feature where you can maintain your own patches against packages in the Gentoo package system [1]. This feature can be useful when the corresponding upstream project is on life support,…
It is labeled correctly on his map, but he is recorded as saying something incorrect in the article: > Also Baffin Island in Greenland. So few people have been to that part of the world. Baffin Island is in Canada.…
The tearing situation has also recently improved [1,2,3] in X.org, including your cited use case of multiple, rotated monitors, and even if you are not using a compositor, although these improvements are only present in…
Tearing has more-or-less been fixed [1,2,3] in the latest version of X.org, although these changes are only present in the latest master branch and aren't in any official release and thus not shipped by most Linux…
In general, an idempotent method is a method such that calling it one time is the same as calling it n times in a row for any n > 1. However, idempotency doesn't require that calling the method one time is the same as…
Some of the words Apple filters in China include 人权 (human rights), 正法 (dharma), 達賴 (Dalai [Lama]), 新聞自由 (Freedom of the press), and 艾未未 (Ai Weiwei [an artist and political dissident]). [1] There is no equivalent to…
For folks interested in threads in C, I also recommend reading "Threads Cannot be Implemented as a Library" [1]. The summary is that Pthreads mostly works correctly as a library (1) because its functions execute memory…
The authors are overstating their case when they assume that why the 50 cent party posters are not engaging in discussion must be a result of an intentional Chinese government strategy. The moniker "50 cent party" comes…

You're right insofar as you can't use the chroot command to escape a "chroot jail" because it automatically calls chdir() for you, but any root user can escape one by invoking the following linux system calls:…
Are you sure it's not even more trivially vulnerable than that? From man 2 chroot: This call does not change the current working directory, so that after the call '.' can be outside the tree rooted at '/'. In…
