What cyber war? You mean internal sources at the DNC leaking documents, exposing their own corruption?
I've just about lost all respect for Wired.

Ask HN: What's the difference between a website and a startup?
I received an email today. This person suggested I add my website to a list of startups. I won't turn down free and reasonable advertising, so I posted it: https://betapage.co/startup/sporestackI've always thought of it as a service, since it accepts payment and gives you something in return. What exactly is a startup? I've worked at a couple -- I kind of think it's a marketing term. And well,...

Am I pricing myself well? $40k a year for a half-time remote DevOps Engineer
Hi HN,My ultimate goal is to work for myself. I'm pretty convinced at at the moment, remote half-time is the best way for me to get there.I've put out an offer to work for $40,000 a year for 20 hours a week as a DevOps Engineer. That title isn't exact -- I could probably be a newbie Full Stack Engineer in Python, an SRE, or a systems engineer depending on the place. The titles are never too...

I don't get it. Is there a reference to rudo?

That is hysterical. I am flattered.
Reminds me of that game that would delete your files if you couldn't shoot things fast enough.

I was also wondering about that. With El Capitan there was the big 'root' change. I guess they probably didn't break setuid, so this might still work.
I'm not sure about xraru working or not. If vncviewer runs on OS X, maybe? It might actually be a convenient way to run X programs in general.
Although if I add in any logic for auto-scaling, it'll likely break on OS X. But it'd be even more important because of the crazy retina resolutions.
xhyve, by the way, is an awesome hypervisor for OS X. It's pretty light. Not raru-light, but as light as you can get for proper hardware virtualization.

I've never heard of CLONE_NEWUSER before, it looks interesting. I don't think it's in FreeBSD.
My concern is that you can clearly browse and save files, so there is something that has access. Maybe it's much more secure than I thought, but I tend to be really skeptical towards programs of such length being perfectly secure.

Thank you! This leans more towards the client side than the server side. It's certainly in the hackish and glitchy direction, and has no guarantees for success.
Qubes looks really interesting. I'd love to give it a try some time. I've just grown rather attached to my FreeBSD setup and this seemed like one of the ways I might be able to improve security on it.

I wonder if Half Life 3 was released just before the start of the outage.
