I listen to music on a new music radio station - the good new music really stands out

Most people just like the (better bits of) stuff they listened to when they were young

Surely one could use the same exploit to restore the original boot code as the malware used to corrupt it

However, I would say when talking about Linux specifically, there is a high chance that people talking about stuff being broken are people breaking stuff.

I’m sure you’re right. It used to be complicated to set up printers, bluetooth, audio, but even then once set up they were fine. Now all those and just about anything else you need to manage on the machine has an easy GUI

My wife’s computer runs Linux and she’s never had to use a terminal (she’s not a techie type)

For the UDP broadcast, you should be able to catch and change them with simple firewall rules, you’d catch packets with a destination address of the broadcast address and send them to a chain that rewrites the destination

So throw an error at runtime on that macro, most workbooks aren’t the target of a macro

Fine for me too

So organise.

They said ~/

I don’t think there’s any protection for the current user’s home directory

That’s a bit much, perhaps though they should use a real mode OS

Yeah, there’s a Debian implementation of GNU/hurd. Debian recommend you run it in a VM

The Linux kernel (the part that gives Linux the name) is antithetical to Linux philosophy? I could understand it being contrary to GNU philosophy

Australian rules are similar. I believe we are required to take a break of at least half an hour after every five hours of work. 1 hour is the standard lunch entitlement

We also have an unwritten right to two 15 minute paid breaks for morning and afternoon tea which will slowly disappear as fewer and fewer people use it

That sounds more racist than true

Chronic flow in an engaging project. Start on a Saturday morning, feel like a coffee since you’re a bit sleepy, notice it’s Sunday

I had a team of contractors working on some code. They had learnt in their previous jobs to document everything in the work wiki (aside from the design documents which have their own repository)

And it was good they did, since the project was put on hold due to too much mismatch between backend and front, and all the contractors were fired (a day before Xmas) leaving the useless doco as the best reference for whoever needs to resurrect our code

I bought a house with the money saved from buying windows*

*This is a lie

Ctrl+shift+k and u? I’m pretty sure it’s Ctrl+k and +u

Admin or physical access.

It’s also a new way to compromise a machine you have physical access to

You’re correct. I was confusing the two cities
