You’ll almost never get a forced apology out of an autistic person, anyway. The CoC has no consideration for the neurodivergent.

When other devs can force a CoC on the actual creator of Linux, that’s when you know they’ve gone to far. It’s his, wtf should anyone else get a say in how it’s governed?

Given that you can already use rsync over ssh, I suspect you want to allow the rsync configuation options on the server side, but still use ssh to secure the transit. I would do it like this:

• Configure rsync on receiving server to listen only on 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
• Use ssh to create a tunneled port between your sender and receiving rsync server.
• Rsync on the sender to [rsync defined user@]localhost:port (whichever port you set the tunnel up on) as your target.

That would encrypt the traffic over your ssh tunnel, but still allow you to use the receiver’s rsyncd paths.

half a dozen of you, tops. ;)

Closed source isn’t a crime. However trying to ruin a company with exclusionary tactics can be. Linux kernel devs and Wayland devs have all conspired to harm a company.

Maybe. But wishes don’t have to be possible. :)

I appreciate the fruit of NVidia’s efforts… But that they were forced into it by a pack of wolves is morally wrong, and those responsible need to be ousted from open source, blacklisted from any IT work forever for needlessly inflicting harm on a company and it’s users over a licensing preference.

Which will still be enough for Linus to prevent NVidia from getting full access to the kernel internals.

How is it nonsense? Linus himself in the kernel mailing list and in public speaking has repeatedly gone after NVidia due to their licensing. In the kernel, he’s repeatedly cut NVidia off from using various kernel internals because they aren’t open source; attempting to cripple their driver. That’s fact. Check your history on it.

As for wayland, it could have been written to do absolutely anything they wanted it to do and be. They chose to not support NVidia due to the licensing, purposely choosing an incompatible way to display to try and force NVidia to change or to for NVidia to fall from it’s spot as market leader.

I feel bad for NVidia, caving this. An open source driver coming out, them adding features to work with wayland instead of the other way around. It wreaks of extortion by the kernel and wayland devs, to damage market share if the devs don’t get what they want. I hope they get sued for it and lose everything for it. It casts a terrible light on the open source community that it would make companies either capitulate, or the community tries to cut the company off at the knees. It was wrong and should be severely punished to prevent it ever happening again. As it is, no hardware company should trust Linux or offer to support it in any way, because it might turn around and bite you as it did NVidia.

It’s not a conspiracy. Here’s Linus, himself, publicly picking a fight with NVidia. All because of a driver not being open source. I love open source, I love the GPL, but no individual or company should be required to do business that way. It’s up to them, as is their right.

Could have been, if Linux kernel devs and wayland devs weren’t trying to break it all the time.

It’s not NVidia’s fault. Never has been. It was a religious war over licensing of the driver.

That would be giving into the Linux kernel and wayland driver bigots who set out to destroy NVidia on Linux, simply because of the driver’s license. Linus, the kernel dev team, and wayland devs sought to break NVidia at every turn. A company that provided us with the best graphics cards on Linux for over a decade, because they couldn’t get in and mess with NVidia’s code and steal their secrets from their drivers. Don’t give into to that level of zealotry. If anything, NVidia and their users should sue Linus and all the wayland devs for the years of crap they’ve pulled. All over a license. I love Linux, and am forever indebted to Linus for starting it… but this zealotry over licensing is why GNU never got off the ground itself; and they should be spanked for what they did to us. Wayland devs especially, they should be banned from opensource dev work forever and crippled financially for the crime they’ve committed.

I suspect you use them more extensively, than I. Mine are limited usually to the extended acls, which I then use getfacl to generate a dump of all the acls of the files and sub directories I am transferring or 7zipping, and include that file in the transfer or 7z bundle. Then use setfacl to apply all those permissions on the receiving end after everything has been copied or extracted.

I’d like a GUI app for generating CLI’s for other GUI apps that don’t have them already. An application is never complete unless everything can be done via a CLI and/or API.

Stallman, it’s time to get over it.

       man -k printf
           Search  the short descriptions and manual page names for the keyword
           printf as regular expression.  Print out any matches.  Equivalent to
           apropos printf.

From the system’s DMI. You can check it yourself with dmidecode. Those values are largely unchangeable, and those that are, will probably require a tool from the vendor to change, which are usually for internal use only within their company.

Take my upvote.
