I feel selinux should be able to do something clever here, like it can manage/block port access.

What’s the advantage of this vs running it in a container? https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

I wonder, what characters are allowed? $0 would be interesting, or even the fork-bomb classic.

OK, thanks.

I guess it’s worth confirming if it’s been a logout or a reboot as well. If you open a terminal and type “uptime” does the time match when you booted up or after you left it alone for a while?

Check the output of: dmesg -T and have a look through: /var/log/messages

I would be focussing on errors, warnings and/or terms like “reboot, shutdown, logout, timeout, idle, etc.” to try to narrow it down what is happening and when.

Without sounding rude, are you sure it’s at the login screen and not the unlock screen?

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

Not going to lie, I think I lost interest after the 3rd reference to “Nix” and there being no guide as to whether it means Unix-like, Nix (the plan9 fork), NixOS (Linux distro), Nix (the package manager) or something referred to as “The Nix Language”

Because UNIX Epoch starts 1970, not 1975 is why I mentioned it.

Wait, there’s a GNU Epoch as well?

I don’t tend to use awk in scripts as I do tend to do them in Python, but I do use awk on almost daily basis in one-liners.

Probably the most common thing for me is so I can read a config file without annoying comments and big line spaces.

grep -v "^#" krb5.conf | awk NF

Which version of stat do you have? I get the same blank result locally on ext4 and btrfs filesystems (not over nfs) using stat 8.30 on an rpi4 (raspbian, 5.10.103-v8+).

Seems to work fine with stat 8.32 on xfs on a spot instance I have, running Rocky 9 (5.14.0-362.13.1.el9_3.x86_64).

I thought there might be more info in the changelog: info coreutils aqstat invocationaq but I’m not seeing it.

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

That’s surprising, as I think the first Windows TCP/IP stack was ported over from BSD by Spider Systems (pretty sure that’s why it still has things like “/etc/hosts” - albeit under System32). Wonder if the bug was in BSD and never backported (cross ported?).

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.

Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).

I mean, I did quote the partial sentence from the link. You can look that up.

with focus shifted towards completing the port to GTK3

Is that a typo? I would have thought most software was shifting to GTK4 now?

They hired the man behind systemd (controversial, I know, but he does have a vision). I hope they listen to him and/or he starts directing how they should do things from the ground-up.
