  • What if I had a firewall installed in Linux

    A previous company of mine, required an “AntiVirus” installed on the Linux computers too.
    The one the IT guy installed, ran in the background all the time, doing nobody-knows-what and and slowing down every thing and having multiple segfaults in a minute, shown in the journal.

    Long after I left, I also saw an RCE vulnerability related to it. So essentially, my system would have been more secure without the app.



  • Doesn’t even startup on my box,

    It needs to startup and then go to that point (after you select the projection) to cause the crash.
    It definitely caused something other than the application to get into an invalid state. Which is why I am apprehensive about trying it out again to answer your comment. Probably was the display driver, which is why it didn’t just turn off after that.



  • There’s this game “HyperRougue”. Run it on Arch.

    hyperrogue-git version 13.0d.r60.g27fb2d92-1

    Go to settings -> 3D configuration -> projection -> projection type -> . Cycle through the projection types. One of them causes something good enough to call a crash.

    I don’t remember anymore if it was just a display driver crash or a kernel crash and I haven’t updated to a newer version (which might have fixed it).


  • What language were you using?
    Python maybe? I don’t know of any other interpreted language, that you may be calling system commands from, without saving to disk

    I use C and C++ and my IDEs save to disk before compiling. Makes sense to not try compiling when there are potentially 2 versions (one on RAM or /tmp and one on Disk) and the build system might be running multiple commands, which the IDE may/may not know of, in my case.










  • I end up feeling like absolute garbage.

    Maybe, not cooking it well enough? Try changing your recipes, perhaps? Maybe more variety in spices?
    Gram, pulses and dried beans (rehydrated before eating) with rice, tend to make my favourite recipes
    and even though I use milk products, I feel pretty good even if it is lemonade with black-salt instead.


  • It’s probably just an alternate pronunciation.

    Considering that country names are different in different languages, I don’t see much of a problem with it.


    If the last sentence made you go “?” Check the

    • Chinese language name for China
    • Japanese name for Japan
    • Indian language names for India
    • But also what China, Japan and India have names for other countries and even alternate names for historical personalities in their languages. In some cases, even regional languages will have other alternate names.
