It’s you who says it’s not a literal use. But I’m protesting even a figurative use since there is NO way the act is THEFT. I didn’t steal, in any sense, something that is given to me for free.

It can’t be any sort of “theft” if you leave it on the curb with a sign saying “Free” next to it.

The intent of the BSD licences is to allow you to do what you want without reciprocating though. It’s not an accident, it’s explicitly stated. It is, in fact, your right. You profiting from the work of others is an intended result.

I prefer GPL myself for this reason. But you can’t blame companies for obeying the terms of the licence.

They chose to base them on BSD so they could steal work and not give back to the public.

Emphasis mine.

But it’s not stealing then is it?

“Here you can use this as you like, no questions asked”

“Hey! Why did you use that in a way that I told you you could!?!?”

Those canals are… Disgusting. Hopefully the dysentery they contract was worth it.

That is how you end up with en, EN, English, etc.

So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?

That’s not what you want. You want a reasonable level of confidence that your system is secure.

The process is similar to Windows - keep it up-to-date, use good passwords, don’t run things as root (admin), and don’t install things that are questionable.

The package manager under linux is where you should start, and that varys by distro some. But generally speaking things installed from there are “safe” and will be updated by the package manager when you do updates.

NT even “back in the day” was very much NOT compatible with DOS.

Like those ‘curl | sudo bash’ abominations that have become strangely popular lately.

Oh no, an AI would show a lot more emotion than Trump.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

The entire article: You can do things with a debugger that you can’t do with print statements.

Clojure always seems to be more popular than I expect it to be. Though I have no experience with it myself. It benefits from access to the JVM ecosystem as well I believe.

No, it doesn’t mean “Article 5”.

I remember liberals being super angry about conservatives requiring all Muslims to “condemn terrorism.”

“I run an immutable distro, BTW”

Proxmox or Docker?

It’s not mutually exclusive? I have a 3-node proxmox config on which I have 3 VMs running as kubenetes nodes to which I deploy containers. I also have some VMs setup for things which either don’t work well as containers or which I simply don’t want as containers (e.g. a couple Windows VMs for doing Windows things). Also home assistant runs in a VM since it was just easier to do USB passthrough this way.

I understand that running things in a VM provides better security than running them in a container.

Not sure what you mean by this - containers are typically easier to secure as they’re minimalist. But I doubt anyone is using VMs because they think they’re more secure.

And I still don’t care. Bad is bad even if a community is doing it.

Edit: Sorry if that was aggressive. This is a horrible practice and that community is the worst. They use HTTP by default? Encourage running scripts pointing to GH repositories controlled by community members? It’s just aching for the sort of supply-chain attacks we’re seeing with things like NPM has been enduring.
