• Shit they exist

  The idea of config files is fine, it's the implementation I don't like. I was using NetBSD recently for my senior project and found it fine to use - all the documentation is in one place (well, two - the manpages and netbsd.org). It's when the documentation is nonexistent and you have to search through a million different websites and forum posts to find the one line you have to change - that's what gets me. Linus...

• Redox OS 0.7.0

  This is what most of the existing open source operating systems are and it is much easier to contribute to those or fork one that does most of what you want. If you are aiming at a POSIX system then there is a fair amount of work but you at least then get a huge amount of already written software that you can run (IIUC Redox is aiming for this but written in Rust). A structure like Qubes OS would make it easier... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Vulnerabilities in billions of Wi-Fi devices let hackers bypass firewalls

  It looks like one of the vulnerabilities involves being able to sneak in a rogue ICMPv6 route advertisement, with rogue DNS entries. It also mentions doing this kind of stuff against NetBSD 7.1, but that's a couple of versions old, so I guess they were concerned about all the random managed access points floating around?

• Coding on a Chromebook

  The terminal is actually a Debian terminal. Debian is a version (distribution) of Linux, so if you've used it or Ubuntu before, you'll be very familiar with the commands. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Can I contribute to a redesign of the Debian website?

  Can't figure out debian.org? Then you probably won't figure out the distribution either. The website is perfectly fine, if you know how to read and think. They have mainly been focusing on making Debian stable, so it's more about reading manuals than expecting user-friendliness from it. There's loads of userfriendly-focused linux distributions out there. Source: 10 months ago
