Winamp is not going open source. Here's what it is doing - and why https://zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/winamp-is-not-going-open-source-heres-what-it-is-doing-and-why/ by @sjvn

Yes, I know what the headlines say; Don't believe them. is not going to be .

@sjvn so if you want a open source version of winamp you should ho with Audacious?

I think I was mainly using SongPlayer which was quite popular among us Amiga users back in the days when you got direct download links when searching for song in the online search engines.

Everything you wanted to know about #SELinux but were afraid to run https://opensourcewatch.beehiiv.com/p/everything-wanted-know-selinux-afraid-run by @sjvn

Yes, getting SELinux to work can be a PITA, but isn't #Linux #Security worth some trouble?

aho,
@aho@mastodon.social avatar

@sjvn oh, I did run SELinux for a while, wasn't a smooth experience, but then the other options ain't much simpler to use and breaks things as easily as SELinux. I wish there was something that was easy to administrate for us at home.

aho,
@aho@mastodon.social avatar

@sjvn sure it is simpler, just I have run into some issues with apparmor and dovecot at some times. I have looked a bit on Tomoyo too, but not as generally used as apparmor, so not much predefined for you.

I kind of wish I could just tell the security module take a look at his binary and then that one gets everything it needs allowed, but static analysis of binaries not part of the security module so I keep on dreaming...

aho,
@aho@mastodon.social avatar

@sjvn my current setup don't use system users as all the mail users are virtual ones.

My main issue has been that the distro I been using has used the default example dovecot apparmor config for dovecot, which has completely different paths than the dovecot that is installed by the distro and there was some other minor issues. It's just that each time I done an upgrade of apparmor the dovecot config been overwritten and then I have to dig my changes from a snapshot and restore those

@MAKS23 a really theoretical idea that I don't think would happen in million years, supply nuclear weapons to Ukraine, that should in theory make a country to stop their aggression, but sure we are dealing with a former kgb clerk who thinks he is above all laws and signed agreements.

@sjvn In a way I had wished they given RH7.2 extended life too, instead I had to struggle with keeping everything up to date, included some gnome2lib support so that I could include some newer tools, but sure I learned a lot with my "RH7.3", but after two years I switched to running on

aho,
@aho@mastodon.social avatar

@sjvn yeah, it was with the last good Gnome version IMHO and was a lot more stable than any 6.x or 8.0/9.0 version of RH.

I managed to be called a troll on the Gnome2 forum when reporting things that wasn't right (can't have multiple configuration options having the same name) and of course the suggestion to have a option for users to get back the original button order as it was in the early version of gtk2, but that was removed as Haxxor didn't like it.

UN experts say they have proof that Putin's army fired a North Korean Hwasong-11 series ballistic missile at civilians in #Kharkiv #Ukraine.

"Indicate procurement by nationals of the Russian Federation," they said, adding that this would be a violation of the arms embargo imposed on North Korea in 2006.

@sjvn read the long thread at the Arch bugzilla if they were affected or not, seems they got to the conclusion that they don't use the tarball but pull directly from the git.

Yeah, it was a "clever" work to infect Linux distributions, kind of brings my mind to the ms win98se with preinstalled virus.

Here is a site that claims to check your binary if it's affected (don't have a known version that was affected so can't confirm):

@pinsk @tzimmer_history In Finland pre-WWII the end for the fascists came when they kidnapped the President so I guess it's just to wait GOP/MAGA does something that will be so anti-American that no one will have the stomach to support them, so just figure that out and help them to get the idea to do it or find the hidden pedophilia scandal they are hiding and expose it on live TV.

Quotes from my poetry I'm considering putting on a shirt. What do you think of this one?

"I lead with confidence because if I don't, people see my confusion and insecurity and they take my lack of ability to respond to social cues as an insult or discomfort, which makes it easier to hate me and I prefer the love as clearly I can not tolerate indifference"

aho,

@skaly It's just me, I tend to avoid text and pictures on t-shirts and other clothing I wear in public.
