@vort3 @gary_host_laptop Be strong. Docker is for the asshole of the todays to prevent them from learning Linux.

It is a phenomenon in the German IT world. Meine Kollegen einfach boycotten Linux. Nicht, weil es komplex wäre. Es gibt ein einfach, stille Blokk.

They are not stupid to it, they are simply assholes. As I feel, they might consider it somehow “non-conform” or so.

Docker is exactly for them.

@misk I think these modchip are exactly what would also really need in the android or iEvil world. Although I am not very sure, how could they be attached into a machine.

@davidgro @hunger Last basic variant I worked with was the basic of the commodore machines. It had no NULL. I have also seen vbscript a little, afaik also it had not.

In Java, null does not mean a real 0 value, I think it is more like a static const, more similar to the None type of the Python. Its name is only a helper for the C/C++ guys to better understand a stack trace.

@misk @Creat It is so terrible. But I believe, hardware jailbreaking should long exist, for example by using raspberry pi-s to attach to the wires of the evil hardware on tricky ways. For example, by attaching pins of the memory chips, their bus could be probably locked for a short time (which is not enough yet for the main OS to crash), and their content could be manipulated. The data structures in the RAM are absolutely not protected against anything. On a Unix-related OS, you can easily find a process data structure by its characteristic signatures, and then you can simply change its UID to 0, voila you are root.

Alternatively, you can simply find the keys used to encrypt the disk content.

Alternatively, also finding the cached blocks in the block cache could be possible. By finding a block, you have access to the decrypted disk blocks, and there you can overwrite against anything, for example by giving a +s to your “su” binary.

@unexposedhazard @cm0002 Linux will be obviously slower. Reason is simple, much lesser amount of developer resources are there to optimize it. But that is only one of the sides.

Another side: 20 years ago, bottleneck of the 3D gaming was the cpu/gpu. Now we have 1000 times faster machines. What is the bottleneck? Of course, cpu/gpu. Does not stink here something, uhm?

@wltr @canthangmightstain Main obstacle before Linux was the stupidity, 30 years ago exactly like today.

@Butterphinger @RidcullyTheBrown I deeply feel that you are right… but if you say such things, like “walled gardens via client access”, I think you have a brain problem.

Wtf is a “walled gardens via client access”?

@EtAl @cm0002 Ubuntu has a pretty well multi-monitor configurator tool, I had not ever any problem with it. Although I use only very rarely multiple monitors, usually there is only two, the embedded one into the laptop and an external over hdmi.

@Know_not_Scotty_does If the manufacturer gave linux drivers, they are probably inserted into your linux distribution. So you do not need to install anything.

@victorz @Know_not_Scotty_does “Just install the driver”, so you must have a windows with it, too, only to use your own printer…

@thingsiplay Yes, you are right. I think you could trace the parent, by a gdb, and then execute a wait() in its name.

@thingsiplay Sorry you might right! In this case, I would debug the parent process and I would execute the wait() syscalls in its name, but it is hardly autimatizable and probably many people can not do that. Thanks the info!

@thingsiplay Stop their parent process and the zombie will go under init, then init will stop them.

@CameronDev Your comment clearly shows that you have not ever rooted an Android.

Only for you: rooting the android requires various partition rewriting, decrypting etc operations, all of them in close interaction with the bootloader. It also interacts with various system components, which were originally open source, but the manufacturers modified them on unknown ways.

You school example of the criminal stupidity!

@CameronDev My impression is that you have not ever heard about your right over your own property (aka “rooting”), how the mafia tries to harden as they only can, committing both various license violations, illegal data collection, eavesdropping, spam and cheat. You do not understand, what is this comment about, and you go yet more far: instead of recognizing your own stupidity, you are even boosting that by thinking that I am.

@CameronDev @steel_for_humans Android phones have no bios recovery or any similar. If the bootloader dies, that phone is over.

@towerful Also you know, it is only matter of time and it will.

@onlinepersona @Innerworld And what do you think, will the AI agent be ready to the following discussion?
