This is funny because I was the operations assistant (office secretary) at the time we received this letter, and I remember it because of the distinct postage.

I met a web developer working for the FSF at a Boston pub one night while in town for a Red Hat conference. After many drinks, he walked us down fifth street to the FSF office building. I wasn’t sure what to expect but when we got there, he typed in some numbers on the door entry system, and what came out was RMS singing the free software song lol. It was a wonderful treat for a young Linux nerd on a hazy adventure in the early morning

Longhorn, hands down. It’s dead simple to set up and works well with production workloads. We’ve had disks fail, nodes fail, etc. and it has handled everything brilliantly. It’s also near-native speeds, which is really nice.

ngharo · 2 years ago

Near native speeds? I’m seeing an order of magnitude slower performance out of mine.

Doing anything special with your config? I already am setting placement options and played with replica options.

My only hope has been to wait for the V2 engine to become stable.

Good to see progress in Desktop Linux.

Next, if someone fixed font / display scaling in X for high DPI (24" 4k monitor) displays, it would allow more people to use Desktop linux.

ngharo · 3 years ago

I see this complaint a lot but on the flip side, I’ve found Xorg high DPI support to be fantastic; better than windows. I recall only touching ~/.Xdefaults and setting Xft.dpi and had great results. I don’t use a desktop environment so that could be the kicker.

I've found UDP over OpenVPN to work fairly well even on bad networks. Well-supported on iOS too with the OpenVPN Connect app.

ngharo · 8 years ago

It does until it doesn't. Then you have to wait X seconds for a keepalive (one of the 100+ configurables) to notice you're not passing traffic, and your client to tear down the dead tunnel and reconnect. Meanwhile many other applications have also lost connection to endpoints and need to do the same type of reconnection.

Stateless is the best feature of WireGuard IMO. I'm really looking forward to the mobile clients stabilizing.

Not for wan which is where most commercial firewalls will do their magic.

To do this on wan you need to run zmap which is considered mean.

ngharo · 8 years ago

Huh. nmap cares not about wan vs lan.

Neat, there's a multi-user mode: http://jspaint.ml/#session:test

ngharo · 8 years ago

This is fun.

Try drawing programmatically:

  tools[7].paint(ctx, x, y);

then run:

  $canvas.trigger('change.session-hook');

to flush your canvas changes to the server.

partycoder · 8 years ago

Note it's a cost not a loss. There's a difference.

I hope there's a good return on investment in a reasonable amount of time.

ngharo · 8 years ago

I hope it's better than giving $100,000 in credits to 30,000 small businesses in the greater Milwaukee area.

My workflow:

One time setup

    $ python -m venv ve
    $ source ve/bin/activate
    $ pip install pygments WeasyPrint

Then

    $ pygmentize -f html src.py | weasyprint - out.pdf

Both pygmentize and weasyprint have many options to play with. I find a set and create a shell script.

This also does pngs, etc:

    $ pygmentize -f html src.py | weasyprint - out.png

ngharo · 8 years ago

I use vim for writing out html:

  :TOhtml

I found it to create the prettiest syntax highlighted code. But I'm bias because it produces html using my vim color scheme which I'm partial too :)

You can script vim too by specifying a list of commands in a file then running it:

  $ vim -S myscript some_file

LFS feels like a dead project. The project presents itself as a "book."

Some of the provided tarballs are riddled with old vulnerabilities (and served over insecure channels (!!!) with no integrity checks), and thus it is relegated to educational purposes only, and should not be used for building a secure, general purpose system.

Does it support SATA and UEFI boot disks yet?

ngharo · 8 years ago

It is a book.

You can build LFS on any system that meets the requirements[1].

> Does it support SATA and UEFI boot disks yet?

The Linux kernel supports SATA disks since forever. UEFI is also supported by most bootloaders. The distro you build by following LFS will define support for things like UEFI.

I think you're confusing LFS with maybe a livecd image they used to put out?

dghughes · 8 years ago

I have to wonder is LFS maintained? I know a year or two ago it seemed like the documentation and the CD/DVD were quite old.

LFS is great no complaints no offense intended I know it must take a lot of work to keep it updated.

Then again lower down on the buildyourownownlinux site wget links to a LFS url so it must be the same people or LFS re-branded?

ngharo · 8 years ago

You can always check out the latest[1] version in your browser. Build is from Aug 15th at the time of my writing.
