Only in English.

Perhaps because they is plural. Plural is reserved for the royal family in some cultures.

There exists makefiles that don't allow DESTDIR, as in

  mkdir derp
  gmake install DESTDIR=$PWD/derp
Distribution maintainers have to patch this :(

That was almost never the case. We just didn't know any better

I've replaced all my GPT disklabels with Sun disklabels because I refuse to let them talk.

UEFI still boots. Spec said it can boot from fat in an eltorito floppy image and sun disklabels sit in the second or so sector. Spec also said it abstracts the type of volume so all boot methods always work for all drives. ISO images don't use the first 4kB so it doesn't see there's disklabel at all

So now I can mount the ssd as iso9660 but there's also partitions on it of which the third spans the entire drive (of course, because that's the c partition)

And ridiculously expensive

Not neccesarily a guise of security, but perhaps a different means of security. E.g. securing stock investments, profits, monies, etc. Nothing is 100% secure, you can't be in the void and still call it a void, etc

I bet those are just a rounding error to their profits.

I think it is and it doesn't just end there. It's develop and distribute binaries.

Everyone is still free to develop and distribute source code.

And good lock unlocking anything over 5 years old because the updated website doesn't support what you've got. Been there, it sucks.

It doesn't make sense to choose between a snake that bit you and another that bit you earlier.

If you don't want to be bitten, get out of the snake pit.

Of course! Sell the disease and the cure.

Yup. There's always some kind of tool anyway so why not. I mean, even if you read the logs as they come out of a screaming line printer, the tool is the thing that takes log messages and spits them out the printer port.

How hard can it be to write a log cat utility in awk?

Thanks. That may well be enough to trash firefox all day.

Who knows how many ways there are to exfiltrate data. Without software (and hardware) freedom, you can never tell what's going on.

It's the amount of BSD you have from gross BSD after paying all the technical debts.

I admit I havent investigated this thoroughly, but I suspect the low hanging fruit in the tinykvm case is having rw access to /dev/kvm

I think it should be possible to pass /dev/kvm as an open fd to daemons like kvm server and mark it as non-inheritable. As long as the vm is in a subprocess it would be okay I guess.
