Whilst the title is verbatim it may be worth adding something to note this to do with the mold linker.

An idiosyncrasy I have about TIL posts is that I think they should focus on what you were able to got done/progress with.

TIL posts that truly have been learned that day, or recently, often contain subtle errors explicitly or implicitly. Which isn’t a problem in and of itself but in a when such posts get used as the basis of someone else’s TIL post these errors often get compounded.

As an example I find almost any TIL style post about a text editor to be like this. To give a contrast Chris Siebenmann‘s blog [1] does give focus to what was done. Also the author is reasonably good about making corrections in edits or follow up posts.

To add to the list Joshua Stein has made https://plan.cat who's atheistic I'm rather fond of.

The banishing of the Bounty is one of the few purely good pieces of news we've had! I mean I'll cave a few days after Christmas and eat them but I'm not happy about it.

Naive question what are the non-nefarious requirements of being able to do this? I get that people have used it to work around things (for good and ill) but what’s the vanilla answer?

You could have some serious fun with a battle cruiser!

It’s bizarre how much I remember of that show, none of the Latin though.

Not sure if you're just remarking on running an older generation but to be clear the 2600K is Sandy Bridge.

Could you elaborate on "maintain" please?

One of my favourite Futurama gags is the opening caption of S07E25 - "Stench and Stenchibility" which reads “Not the Episode with the Dead Dog” in reference to S04E07 - "Jurassic Bark". If you’ve not seen the latter I highly recommend it, the former quote does not prepare you for the emotional gut punch.

I came across tylr the other week which looks very interesting. Probably easiest to watch this video[1] first then play with the demo and read the paper [2][3].

Recently came across this watching the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00riOfMuaNY

I'm just going to dump some other links to pledge just for others that are interested. Here's some presentations on attempts at natively implementing pledge in Linux (YouTube's auto-translate does a decent job) [1][2].

The topic of a pledged process starting other processes un-pledged often comes up (and already has done in the comments here). I'd recommend checking out this section of Theo de Raadt's presentation that explains why this is [3].

As mentioned in the article the nice thing of pledge on OpenBSD is the integration of the pledge interface with the reality of underlying system. So as one example a program can pledge only dns and say not have filesystem access, but really under the covers it can read /etc/resolv.conf.

Stumbled across this today, here's a previous discussion from several years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7474600.

rw is a nice dd like tool with a unix syntax https://sortix.org/rw/

Get print the current time as as Unix timestamp.

Bonjour!

Romain? I came here to post the same thing.

I saw the MNX announcement the other day and am still confused by it. What did Samsung acquire Joyent for if not the software, or did things simply not pan out and Samsung is now offloading bit?

Not sure about others by my exit interviews have typically been towards the end of my notice period. I've long since communicated (or at least vented) to my manager what I've been unhappy with as well as having a detailed talk upon giving my notice. And likely as a result, my experiences have been HR just nodding along. I certainly can't imagine treasuring up all the negatives and blurting them all out to HR one one meeting as this post games out.

`ls` for example will output unprintable characters, even just space, in quoted form on a terminal:

Pedantic quibble GNU does this for special characters, as in your example the space is very much printable. Specifically this became default with coreutils 8.25 https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/quotes.html

There’s a nice overview of OenBSD’s RNG system here[1] or video if you prefer [2].

Scrolled past the giant gif, got their newsletter popup, instantly closed the tab. Indeed the plain-text internet can't get here soon enough.

Can't wait to see a teardown of the cooling solution. Not sure how the air flows between the bottom and the heat sink as there's a board between them.
