Read above please. You cannot import GPL code into BSD licensed code without restricting the code distribution. In the other direction, you can do it and just add a notice about the license. It does not add restrictions to the distribution. Otherwise Linux distributions wouldn’t even have OpenSSH in base install images.
Of other software, yes. For example Linux distributions can use the BSD or MIT licensed code without any problems.
But it does not allow to remove the license from the software.
On the other hand GPL code cannot be imported into BSD code without introducing restrictions.
If you think about how many people use proprietary Android by Google, it is exactly comparable.
Comparing numbers is pointless here. Fact is that GPL has more conditions when you’re allowed to use and modify the code. More conditions means more restrictions. And this means, less freedom.
At the moment large companies sponsor the development, without being forced to do so. And they allow developers to spend time on the project for free.
The foundation also makes sure that devs sign an agreement otherwise the code is not accepted.
So where is this all proprietary?
So it’s an argument against restrictive licenses? The more freedom the better? I mean Unix in this case had a too restrictive license?
Hi. Nobody here. Do you know that if you own a PS5 or Nintendo Switch, you’re a FreeBSD user?
Maybe we’ve got a different idea what it means to be a user.
I think they are just expecting that the upper management generates code using AI and the coders will try to fix it to get it to work.
Unfortunately, OnePlus began to lock their Phones with OnePlus 7 and latest Android versions. It was very hard to install LineageOS under these circumstances.
Stay away from them is my recommendation now.
Also, lots of nasty bugs are in systems, because of bloat. They are getting fixed slowly, but who doesn’t know cases where you cannot shut down the machine, because of “bouncing stars”.
I still need to look up how to write an own startup script or start two same daemons listening on different IPs. This is why I avoid systemd on servers and only leave it on workstations.
They don’t block torrents because they like to watch people connect to the nodes and then sue them.
It’s always better to use onion routing.
I wish that someone sues when something breaks in the car that you didn’t opt in for.
And… yet better, they get sued when something breaks that is in connection with a paid service and someone suspects that it’s because they paid part caused it.
Many manufacturers offer product sheets. You can also use price comparison websites. They sometimes offer an easy way to look at the specs or even compare them side by side.
Some hard drives are built for 24/7 operation. They have higher MTBF ratings and longer guarantees.
Hard drives are very different. Many of them waste energy, lie in the SMART log or just are weird (spin up and down, lose speed, get incredibly hot etc.)
They should listen to the tech savvy.
Unfortunately there is a lack of awareness how Microsoft treats Windows for desktop PCs and notebooks and how the future strategy looks like. Otherwise many people would move away faster.
How about when the ad blockers insert a joke, when a blank screen is shown on YouTube?
Linux admins know that you’re worsening security when installing 3rd party stuff into kernel, so most of them tend to avoid it. And that’s why no one noticed that Crowdstrike problem.
I’ve been self-hosting Postfix for several years and it’s not difficult, if you’re absolutely confident what you do. I don’t recommend it if you don’t know basic behaviors and internals of SMTP and relaying. Also you need to know how to secure your server so you don’t get spammed a lot and getting hammered with brute force attacks.
From time to time you need to react to delivery problems. Most interesting one is perhaps Microsoft, which you need to ask to whitelist your server or your email won’t be accepted.
Are you looking for something like cached credentials?
