Tankakern posted:now that's some fud. if you have anything worthwhile to contribute to the kernel, you'll don't have to be part of some mega conglomerate to get it in, where did you get that idea? it's just that more companies sees value in contributing, so naturally the percentage of paid contributions has gone considerately up - but that shouldn't keep you from sending in your patches for your makeshift iio sensor measuring typing noise levels or whatever There's even been a study that proved that almost all of the commits coming into Linux was being done by companies, with the majority coming from the companies who also back the 501c6 Linux Foundation (a non-profit trade organization which can do as they please including political lobbying, as opposed to 501c3 NetBSD and FreeBSD Foundations which must explicitly be for the public good). Really wish I could find that study, because the one exception that I recall was that individuals without company affiliations who had a long history of commiting were still allowed to commit, but very very few new ones are accepted. Meanwhile, there are other studies. There's nothing wrong with Linux being a corporate thing as such, it's at least better than those companies keeping their code to themselves so that the wheel gets reinvented more often that it does in Linux, but everyone needs to realize that Linux has long-since stopped being a cute little hobby-project by some folks who make it out of the goodness of their hearts. And don't give me guff about "seeing value in contributing", when that's explicitly the purpose of the GPL, although it wasn't as explicit with v2 which Linus still uses because he refuses to use v3 which is explicitly about forcing a certain political agenda. Neither do companies contributing to the BSDs do it for the goodness of their hearts, they do it because it's a huge loving pain in the arse to keep a local copy up-to-date with patch-sets unless your development model involves upstreaming all the code that they have the rights to upstream. Just ask Sony, OrbisOS is still stuck on FreeBSD 9, whereas FreeBSD has since gained a bunch of features that would be incredibly useful for them (booting from zpool, zfs boot enviroments, updating into boot enviroments, and zfs-based failsafe rebooting - just to mention a few - let alone all the NUMA, threading and scheduling work).

fishmech posted:they already have no idea what a vpn is so whats the difference And the reason this is important, by the way, is that people have no idea what the gently caress a VPN is so they don't understand that if they just connect their raw normal browser through a VPN they'll still probably be tracked no problem due to cookies, addons, or whatever else. If you want a VPN you shouldn't use it, but from a consumer angle it's unclear if even real VPN services are actually serving the need their customers think they're serving.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/09/whats-a-backup-baltimore-city-it-kept-data-on-local-drives/ quote:In a written statement to the committee, Baltimore City Chief Information Officer Frank Johnson acknowledged the findings of the audit and said that his agency would work to improve the department's data-storage practices. Johnson, however, is on "extended leave" from the agency. It is widely believed he will not return, according to sources in Baltimore City government who spoke to Ars Technica. Johnson, who was hired by the now-resigned Mayor Catherine Pugh, was previously a regional vice president of sales for Intel with no IT operations experience. Beautiful

The process is made much more expensive by the widespread absence of data backups or any sort of disaster recovery planning.
