Re:Firefox desktop market share now below 9%
on Tuesday December 04, 2018 @01:27AM (#18596859)
Firefox on Linux appears to adopt the GTK themes (in my case Dark Themes) for web elements (Forms, message poxes, etc) and I have great difficulty removing the customisation. Chrome based browsers do not do that and it's one of the primary reasons I still use Chrome.

Grown up working class, have parents which are older and still have to work in awful jobs. Met many people who are just simply better than I am at most things. So I just grind daily at it. I want to have an "out", not just me but for my family and the people I care about.

Re:How "junior" developers can become regex wizards
on Thursday November 28, 2013 @03:17AM (#6813582)
You don't need to be a developer to understand or use regex. I use regex on a daily basis as I have to deal with a lot of text manipulation.
--edit
I am not a developer.

Agreed, anyone who has touched PCI DSS would agree you need to associate access with a human user. This would not work. If you look at the security logs it won't differentiate between which keys were used for that generic account.
Re:Splunk (big data) IPO Raises $229.5 million ($1.6 billion valuation)
on Thursday April 19, 2012 @02:07PM (#3864299)
As a guy who used to resell Splunk, it offers a lot more in comparison to it's open source alternatives. Being data agnostic with decent log compression, with an extremely rich searching syntax, some very good (HTML 5) reporting dashboards, decent reporting and a verbose API make it very attractive for users (companies) who have compliance requirements or require some form of performance monitoring. (I know it's a mega sentence)
I have since left working with Splunk directly but I would still advocate its use because it's one of the better commercial (albeit expensive) log management/SIEM products around.

Seems like excessive dependencies for such a simple tool. Could probably build such a tool in SQLite and bash just as well.

I am a tmux advocate and you can get screen based hot keys if you need but it feels cleaner and it's also under a BSD licence.

Re:One Million Concurrent TCP connections
on Friday September 23, 2011 @04:18AM (#3029258)
Actually I would run ss over the netstat for such high concurrency connection as netstat hits /proc/net/tcp and it's quite slow. However, you need to have the tcp_diag module loaded otherwise it falls back to /proc/net/tcp.

Interesting, though only Debian support for the clients at the moment. I will begin porting that over to RPM based systems later on tonight. Starting with CentOS.

strace is the Daddy of debugging especially when you can attach it to an already existing program using it's PID. I have solved so many permissions errors problems with strace where the application itself just failed without logging anything.
