• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker - what use is it?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Containers, the concept that Docker implements, lets app developers give a self-contained environment for distribution. For devs that means consistency in deployments across environments, which in turn means sysadmins can deploy each of these apps as fully isolated units.

  With that, you get really clean installs/updates/uninstalls, and your deployments get done with a well-defined, declarative definition file which can also handle multi service dependencies (a la Docker Compose/K8s)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft waited 6 months to patch actively exploited admin-to-kernel vulnerability⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The firmware has to allow it, so if you’ve got physical access to the machine that’s possible. Remote access root, on the other hand, can’t tell the firmware to register new keys as long as it’s configured correctly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft waited 6 months to patch actively exploited admin-to-kernel vulnerability⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally yes. For many distros, the kernel signing key is with the distro maintainers and so the package comes with pre-signed kernel images. For distros like Arch and Gentoo, it’s the user’s responsibility to maintain the signing key and sign each updated kernel

  I find it funny it didn’t point out Active Directory

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does ripping a CD/DVD work exactly? Is it similar to copying or does it leave the CD/DVD unusable?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve rarely used CDs/DVDs but AFAIK it’s practically just a copy. Your PC can read the CD’s data, so it just saves that into a file

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First functional graphene semiconductor paves the path to post-silicon chips — Georgia Tech researchers' material can be used with standard chipmaking methods⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not talking about C itself, I’m talking about the programming language Carbon, aimed at being a compatible alternative 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First functional graphene semiconductor paves the path to post-silicon chips — Georgia Tech researchers' material can be used with standard chipmaking methods⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s by your comment that I’ve now finally realised the C-alternative programming language Carbon was named as a nod to the name and element C

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this Instance down?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like that’d defeat the purpose of having redundancy in case the main instance itself goes down 🤔

  For the record, you have sent me back on a nostalgia trip for 2016 memes and music edits
