Magiilaro

A software to orchestrated and manage software installations and configurations on multiple/many systems using one central system. Puppet is a great tool for medium/large scale system administration and this is a open source implementation of that.

I am a huge fan of immutable distributions, not for my personal daily driver but for secondary systems like my living room/home theater PC.

Ok, I then misunderstood the point you wanted to make. Sorry for that and thank you for explaining it further.

Unfortunately not, or at least I was not able to find anything that would be fully Chromecast compatible receiver implementation. The Chromecast protocol is closed source and has encrypted communication. A few hacks exist but nothing that would be easy usable or anywhere stable.

David Revoy [1] is an artist who uses only open source software and Krita on a very high level and what he produces is pure art. So I would beg to differ, Krita is a extremely capable program if used by a person who can use it properly.

Configuration is a type of stored data.

Configuration is data that is read and parsed on program startup.

But limiting it to configuration storage only makes it only more absurd to implement turning completeness into the language.

Yaml is a data storage format, why should it have any kind of programmability or even turning completeness?

Those things should be done in the program that uses the data not inside of the data itself.

Maybe they should have put that more into the focus, but everything that I had read about it back then was always only about the name change.

A few years ago there was some news about a fork called glimpse, but nobody cared so it died quickly.

Yes, it does perfectly fine here. Blackmagic is known for its Linux support

Yes, internal consumer capture cards are not really supported on Linux, the manufacturers just don’t care so no Linux drivers are available.

That’s why I have gotten myself a prosumer grade card from Blackmagic. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensitypro4k

Or you could use USB Capture Cards which are better supported, because most of them act like a USB camera, using the same protocol which eliminates the need for drivers, but they often are more limited or have a worse picture quality then internal cards.

When I got into the company I was allowed to use Linux. But a few years ago the company was bought and merged with a much bigger company and the new IT policy made Windows mandatory.

I have a Postscript 3 compatible ipp network color laser printer for about 15 years now and it works without any issues with Linux, way better then it does from Windows. So I never understood way they say that printing is cumbersome with Linux.

Unfortunately many of the routers provided by ISPs I have seen where not configured that way by default. They only used NAT as firewall, so without configured port forwarding nothing could be reached with IPv4. But for IPv6: If you know the IPv6 for any system on the local network it is free available on all ports. It is the first thing I check when someone asks me to check their network or configure their internet, and only Fritz!Box have a sane default for IPv6 (but to be honest my other experiences are mostly with shitty Vodafone and german Telekom routers so it is a very limited set, and I really hope that most others are better.)

Yes, but exactly that was/is the issue of this bug. cups-browsed was attaching itself to every available IP on the system. And cups-browsed can’t only be bind to localhost, it would defeat the whole purpose of that tool. For it to be able to find other printers in the network it needs to be bound to a non-localhost-IP address. So, not much to sandbox

No port forwarding needed when the ISP provides a proper IPv6 subnet. Normal IPv6 router advertisement will then provide a public reachable address for every IPv6 capable device.

But with the size of IPv6 it makes searching for that not really easy, so it only a small attack vector.

I have cups (but not cups-browsed) installed, but I only start the service when I need to print something a few times a year. Until then it is only a binary sitting in a folder, nothing more.

I don’t know if I would like to have my personal data that I needed to print out on any system in a print shop. Printers and Copy machines in print shops often have internal HDD where the files are stored for caching reasons, often for months or even years (depending of the size of the HDD and how much the device is used) until some internal cleanup process deletes them.

I fear that the situation will not be better after nearly a decade.

Just read http://judecnelson.blogspot.fr/2014/09/systemd-biggest-fallacies.html and I see now that I was in error with my claim. So yes, I accept all the down votes in shame.
