Right now the IT team of raspberrypi.org is faced by the devastating penalties of using ancient and crapware technologies like Linux, Apache, and PHP. Then they resort to last minute panic and workarounds.
My advize? nginx and FreeBSD.
UPDATE: their retailers didn’t fare too well either, and for the very same reason.
Premier Farnell -> Linux -> Apache/2.2.17 Unix mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/1.0.0d DAV/2 PHP/5.3.5
RS Components -> Linux -> Apache
Note that RS’s first line of webservers is an NT4 with IIS. It’s the only one that works.

sixxs is a piece of shit
2012/02/16 10:26
I had a sixxs.net IPv6 tunnel. Turns out that I forgot to update this one service with my new e-mail address, and they have automatically disabled it. That shouldn’t be a problem, according to the relevant entry in the FAQ I should contact them. I did.
Gabucino> Greetings, Please reactivate my account (userid here). I forgot to update the e-mail address.
Jeroen Massar> Please see the FAQ on bouncing emails.
G> I did. The FAQ points to: ”SIXXS handles For updates to information in SixXS handles, provide SixXS with the details.” So here, I'm providing.
J> You are not providing anything. Please actually read the FAQ and provide the requested details.
Well I wonder what else do they need?
It could hardly be any clearer.
I did.
Clearly that is not possible.
Makes no sense for this type of problem.
Uh-huh.
Will not, because there are no problems there.
Can’t figure why I’d need to do this.
It does not work.
For the lulz let’s suppose I did.
Wow totally cool advize bro!
Good to know!
Thanks you made that abundantly clear.

Well I wonder what else do they need?
- Always include clear descriptive information about your problem or inquiry.
It could hardly be any clearer.
- Always provide your NIC handle and if applicable the Tunnel or Route IDs you wish to discuss.
I did.
- Use the email address you have provided in your handle as that is what we use as a contact handle.
Clearly that is not possible.
- Provide details of the setup, type of connections, where NATs are located.
Makes no sense for this type of problem.
- Provide information of your OS type, version and release (ie. uname -a), noting also the distribution name.
Uh-huh.
- Include full interface, routing and firewall tables.
Will not, because there are no problems there.
- Include the list of firewall and anti-virus software you have installed / are running (note that under Windows some 'firewall' tools don't understand IPv6 at all and thus just throw it away, only uninstall helps for those cases).
Can’t figure why I’d need to do this.
- Include a IPv4 and IPv6 traceroute to the PoP in question.
It does not work.
- Check with Wireshark or tcpdumps of the interface over which the tunnel runs.
For the lulz let’s suppose I did.
- Use -n (numeric) as an option and don't filter returning ICMP which could also come from routers between your endpoint and the PoP and also use -s 1500 so that one gets the full packet.
Wow totally cool advize bro!
- The status of the PoP is listed on the PoP Status page, if it is marked down there we are aware of the issue and we will try to resolve it as soon as possible. Additionally other issues are listed in the Ticket Tracker.
Good to know!
- We are not your personal helpdesk
Thanks you made that abundantly clear.

... and it really shows on his servers. And what can be told about the “staff”, and the kernel developers? They have no idea how the attacker gained root privileges. Even the first line of mail on this topic to ever see daylight was:
“As you can guess from the subject line, I've not had what many would consider a "good" day. “
Um... yes I care about your day..!?? NOT. Write a blog, lamer!
“Files belonging to ssh (openssh, openssh-server and openssh-clients) were modified and running live”
Well, I run my own filesystem checksumming security program, so would have guessed that kernel.org servers have one too. NOT.
“A trojan startup file was added to rc3.d”
So you guys don’t even monitor newly appeared files. What the fuck?
“System is being verified from backups, signatures, etc.”
By fucking monkeys like you? Fat good it does!
And for Linus, the honorable thing to do would be to pack up his cancerous, bloated shit (in his words: “kernel”), and leave the world for good. Well that just won’t happen. Linus, being the arrogant prick he is, will be unwavering in his corrupted view of security being a second rate priority, well beyond the utmost goal of commiting more shit into an OS that no serious administrator would ever use nowadays. And this means more lulz like this coming! \o/

2011/04/20 18:21
Ok now that I’ve completed the game, I’m very much ashamed of my previous review done after the first 2 hours of gameplay. Fact is: this RPG rivals the awesomeness of Dragon Age. If not surpasses it. The control scheme that I found extremely annoying bugged early in the game, soon became one of its greatest features. That’s what I call a steep learning curve.
I’m even breaking my rule of not preordering: with Witcher 2. DRM-free only on GOG, and the price difference of the US and EU versions are credited on my GOG account. Now that’s not a money-minting potato-campaign. Frankly, I dont’t see how this could go wrong:

- it’s coming from Poland
- it has no DRM
it’s not a lame, cash-cow console conversion like Dragon Age 2, Crysis 2, and Portal 2boy were we lied to... And the game suffered.- affiliated with GOG

Looks like neozeed has read my yesterday’s entry on 386bsd, ‘coz he posted about it after reading the horribly maimed google translation (let it be known henceforth: I’m now coining the phrase: “the fuck it crashes”).
Anyways, I’d like to clarify: the floating point exception is a byproduct of running on a Pentium. It runs and works fine on the 80386 (386BSD has FPU emulation code from Linus).

Great War fun facts
2011/02/27 08:22
To keep an overseeas empire, however, Britain needed a huge fleet: that's how the Royal Navy came about. Ever since the end of Buonaparte's plan to make a French European hegemony, Britain had had a policy of maintaining a fleet that was at least twice the size of the next two biggest fleets combined. Any nation state that attempted to challenge British naval supremacy was deemed by British governments to be enemies, real or potential.
That's why the UK went to war with the German Empire in August 1914: the declaration of war made by the British goverment against the German Reich on August 3rd 1914 was not the result of the violation of Belgian neutrality by the German army in marching on Paris (that was just a propaganda trick to attain a position of moral supremacy) it was because German hegemony in Europe and the German Imperial fleet would be real threat to the "balance of power" that Britain enjoyed.
tl;dr

ffmpeg coup
2011/01/21 09:12
Backstory
Let’s fly back to 2004. Those were the days: MPlayer basks in her full glory, being by far the best UNIX media player (for some, even on Windows), there is no Bubuntu flying around everywhere yet, and without the innovative iPhone paving the way nobody thinks that a UNIX could be the basis of a viable mobile platform (yay, sucky Yopy). All things considered, peace reigns.
Except for the fact that a danish company, KiSS Tech. takes subreader.c from MPlayer (coded by a fellow hungarian called laaz), and sells it in a nice videoplayer set-top-box. Following my negotiations, the Core Team and KiSS - in one of the first GPL-related copyright cases - reached an out of court settlement: KiSS would remove the aforementioned code snippet, and compensate us for the damage.
This is the point where our favorite coup d’état guys (Attila Kinali and Diego Biurrun) decided that they were unjustly left out. Of course they were, being the RMS’ish shady backstabbers they are. They subsequently rallied some people under their flag, and after a vote, they demanded that I hand over the legal matters. As it turns out, these babbling idiots would have wanted to sue the company, despite the fact that laaz, the code author has already agreed to a settlement.
With MPlayer being the desolate, unfunny place without A’rpi (he left the project months ago, because these morons were impossible to work with), I decided to do the next YAML (Yet Another MPlayer Leaving).
Naturally, KiSS detected the amount of bullshit flowing around, and ignored Diego’s (the new legal rep) mails happily ever after. No compensation for MPlayer, so long suckers!
... and back in 2011
These very same two guys decided to do another coup (this act is henceforth known as “pulling a Diego”), this time at ffmpeg. For the less educated masses out there: ffmpeg (and opensource MPEG4/DivX/etc decoding in general) was made possible in great part by two people: Fabrice Bellard the genius french mathematician programmer, and Michael Niedermayer, the... oh whatever, the codec god.
Guess which two people were recently proclaimed persona non grata by two jacobin rebels.
To add insult to the injury, it has been recently revealed that Niedermayer wrote a will in the past years, which - in case of his death - ordered all his IT stuff to be given to these very same backstabbers: Attila, and Diego. :(
Presently the project’s two “expert maintainers” (Michael’s words:) are these two part-time ubuntu admin kids... who are completely oblivious to the fact that the hijacked domain (AND the ffmpeg trademark, say hello to Mr. Lawsuit) still belongs to Fabrice. Guaranteed lulz will ensue shortly.
UPDATE: after I published this entry, Attila Kinali (on behalf of the whole FFmpeg!) has contacted my ISP (and my own company), requesting my block. Failed big time.

ted ts'o followup
2010/12/14 08:28
Now that the “ext4” filesystem has been chosen (unsafe link: blog of a linux-loving manwhore) for the new revision of NSA’s widely despised cellphone OS (“Android”), it’s time to revisit my old article from 2009. Finished? Good. Some good remarks from the chink (Ted):
“Fsync() might make things more visible”
“it may remove some optimization”
“part of the problem is Firefox”
Summary: he insists that the complete userland must be rewritten, because his fs performs worse (and lose more data btw) than other, better filesystems. Re-reading his old trolling I can’t believe how I missed the part where he (after pages long benchmarking and analyzing) realizes that he has no good explanation on why his ext* crap loses badly to any real filesystem, finally proclaims: “exactly how important is it to update those darned sqllite databases after every web click?” Yes, this, after all his “important databases must fsync” ranting.
Oh wait. So then your data is not any more important to your filesystem’s programmer than a steaming pile of goatshit. And/or he’s an incompetent, pompous ass.
Please trust your data on ext4, and linux. Please do. I just love a good laugh. Also that’s when I say: “I informed you thusly”©.

Nexuiz. I don't know what it is, and I don't care.
What I intend to rant about is its mystical and nonsensical attachment: "the community". So apparently the developer of Nexuiz got a life and realized how making money is actually helping your everyday life, and supporting crybaby free/opensource idealist morons is not.
So who are these basement dweller neo-communists?
Oh.
So the magnificient entities like "[-z-]" and "tZork" are annoyed now. Annoyed so much that they have reached the climax... they cry. They cry on webpages about how life tends to have a different opinion. Right. News flash: still don't care. Why? Well, let's see what the cryfest is all about:
You, rampaging kids, are in dire need of education. The use of the abstract and laughable term of "the community" means that whatever piece of shit stuff you've created was meant to be "free". Free as in free, and not free as in the RMS/GPL way of "I strictly limit what you can do". So, dear "the community", you are hereby entitled to shut the fuck up.
OH NOES! "The community" (again! Will they never grow up to be individual?) seriously needs to return to reality. The "Nexuiz" name was sold by its righteous copyright older. And that is not the suckfest called "the community". Also, they apparently set another of their main ideals aside. I'm thinking along the lines of "if you don't like it, fork it". So go create a fork, create your own copyright, and stop salivating all over the interwebs.
Tough shit. You don't have any right to say anything, therefore: not asked.

The name "Nexuiz" has a value, which has been built up by community members like divVerent, esteel, Samual, [-z-], Morphed, FruitieX, MrBougo, tZork, mand1nga, Merlijn, Tenshihan, C.Brutail and many more.

linux, and its way to oblivion
2009/12/31 09:35
Jumping on the "decade ending linux review" bandwagon of moronic fluffers, only headed in the different direction. Not to mention the fact, that the decade ends next year, but who cares really. This entry was inspired by the "15 game-changing moments of the decade" article of a lamer magazine. The idiot who took his time to pester us with his blind stupidity lists the following items as such:
January 2001: Linux Kernel 2.4
You're totally correct on that, 2.4 was THE kernel that changed the game called Linux. It was the precursor of the massive amount of idiocry arriving with 2.6, like the first annihilating (linux wording: evolving) of the memory management. I remember I had to back off using swap because Linux swapped out everything and never bothered to clean it up. Then I backed up all until 2.2, and all was good. By the time the idiots fixed it and I tried 2.4 again, they began to fuck up the out-of-memory-killer. It actually took 4-5 good years to get it right after that, all because the kernel strongmen had their own fucked up heads-in-the-ass ideals, and they shouted at everyone who thought he knew better. Oh and there was the DONTUSE kernel. You think that's something, but they only thing that's different nowadays is that they don't have to flag the broken kernels, because they have flagged the whole release process as "development, use at own risk". Now that is rich.
May 2001: Nvidia releases binary drivers
Again, dude got it just right. Before that, there was 3dfx, and it was good. There was official Linux support, with a 100% working and supported driver, which drove all their cards. Nobody bitched about nothing, because everything just worked. Linux was a true workstation. Nvidia fucked that up for them, so go ahead and shed your thankful tears, moron.
June 2002: Gnome 2.0
May 2002: OpenOffice.org 1.0
March 2003: SCO's lawsuit against IBM
Where's the famed linux in all this?
April 2004: X.org 1.0
You realize you're actually celebrating a license-fork. Oh, by this time I've already switched to Mac OS X Panther, because contrary to all these idealist young fanbois I could detect a spreading brain cancer as such.
October 2004: Ubuntu Warty Warthog
Yea, the nigger Ubuntu-phenomenon just sums it all up. Pack up a steaming pile of shit, brand it with lame names for lamers. Gain fame and money on the mindless masses, that always works. PROFIT!
November 2004: Firefox 1.0
Again, where's teh linux? The overwhelming majority of Firefox users use Windows. Not to mention the fact that the old Opera 9 was faster, more feature rich (first tabbed browsing), and overall more usable than bugfox even nowadays.
April 2005: Mandrake becomes Mandriva
He lists this because it was irrelevant. Drop that heroin needle!
January 2006: First release of Compiz
Yea I remember this, a mate of mine was constantly asking for my help on how he could set it up. When I did, he was in extasy, until I told him that I already have compositing desktop on OS X for at least 2 years. AND the cube, and without the much-hyped wobbly-windows shit. In the end he had to disable the whole hunk of goo because XVideo video playback was unusably slow. Linux's hardware support was already declining for about 5 years now. This trend will never reverse, and paired with the stubborn idealism and sheer stupidity of the kernel development kindergarden, it will end in the much awaited disappearence of Linux.
June 2007: GPLv3
January 2008: KDE 4.0
Yeah, more braindamage coming right up. An even more viral license which now even tries to spread on your hardware (specifically made for TiVO by the Stallman jew), and the famed KDE release which caught up with kernel 2.6 in terms of releasing a stable version that breaks literally everything, branded as "this is the right way to do it!".
February 2008: The Asus EeePC
I took pity on my aforementioned mate and his constant struggle with the zappy+masky shit called Gentoo, and gave him a Windows 7 install media. He's a happy user now. So yes, eeePC is nice, if you're not a total ass by ruining it.
September 2008: Android 1.0 SDK released
Nobody cares. I use iPhone, and developing software on Linux-driven devices (note the intentional missing of the phrase 'powered') makes the fellow developers cry like a baby in boiling water. Sometimes even the promotional videos of such devices provoke this phenomena. Keywords: lag, slow, broken.
April 2009: Oracle buys Sun (MySQL)
WTF @ linux.
And I'll finish this text of Greater Wisdom with my thanks to our favorite idiot: Gabor Micsko alias trey, the head of hup.hu, the suckiest Ubuntu fanportal on the hungarian internets. He argues that getting a SoundBlaster card working required a great deal of expertise. Well you got it all wron'! Back then it was simply modprobe sb (maybe specify the IO/IRQ/DMA values), and all was good. Now you have alsa/pulse/jackshit, and THAT really is not simple.
But hey, trey is actually a good guy, since as long as people like him are alive, the IT business will continue to spawn more and more hordes of unusable Linux-maniac idiots who can't do jack shit when serious fucking business comes around.
This is the end of 2009, and you've been reading the web's only VMS hosted Linux©® and Holocaust©® fan portal (they are actually similar in being terribly overrated). Get a life already, blogs suck. And now get drunk and shag wasted chicks, happy new year to me, and unhappy slow death to all of you.
January 2001: Linux Kernel 2.4
You're totally correct on that, 2.4 was THE kernel that changed the game called Linux. It was the precursor of the massive amount of idiocry arriving with 2.6, like the first annihilating (linux wording: evolving) of the memory management. I remember I had to back off using swap because Linux swapped out everything and never bothered to clean it up. Then I backed up all until 2.2, and all was good. By the time the idiots fixed it and I tried 2.4 again, they began to fuck up the out-of-memory-killer. It actually took 4-5 good years to get it right after that, all because the kernel strongmen had their own fucked up heads-in-the-ass ideals, and they shouted at everyone who thought he knew better. Oh and there was the DONTUSE kernel. You think that's something, but they only thing that's different nowadays is that they don't have to flag the broken kernels, because they have flagged the whole release process as "development, use at own risk". Now that is rich.
May 2001: Nvidia releases binary drivers
Again, dude got it just right. Before that, there was 3dfx, and it was good. There was official Linux support, with a 100% working and supported driver, which drove all their cards. Nobody bitched about nothing, because everything just worked. Linux was a true workstation. Nvidia fucked that up for them, so go ahead and shed your thankful tears, moron.
June 2002: Gnome 2.0
May 2002: OpenOffice.org 1.0
March 2003: SCO's lawsuit against IBM
Where's the famed linux in all this?
April 2004: X.org 1.0
You realize you're actually celebrating a license-fork. Oh, by this time I've already switched to Mac OS X Panther, because contrary to all these idealist young fanbois I could detect a spreading brain cancer as such.
October 2004: Ubuntu Warty Warthog
Yea, the nigger Ubuntu-phenomenon just sums it all up. Pack up a steaming pile of shit, brand it with lame names for lamers. Gain fame and money on the mindless masses, that always works. PROFIT!
November 2004: Firefox 1.0
Again, where's teh linux? The overwhelming majority of Firefox users use Windows. Not to mention the fact that the old Opera 9 was faster, more feature rich (first tabbed browsing), and overall more usable than bugfox even nowadays.
April 2005: Mandrake becomes Mandriva
He lists this because it was irrelevant. Drop that heroin needle!
January 2006: First release of Compiz
Yea I remember this, a mate of mine was constantly asking for my help on how he could set it up. When I did, he was in extasy, until I told him that I already have compositing desktop on OS X for at least 2 years. AND the cube, and without the much-hyped wobbly-windows shit. In the end he had to disable the whole hunk of goo because XVideo video playback was unusably slow. Linux's hardware support was already declining for about 5 years now. This trend will never reverse, and paired with the stubborn idealism and sheer stupidity of the kernel development kindergarden, it will end in the much awaited disappearence of Linux.
June 2007: GPLv3
January 2008: KDE 4.0
Yeah, more braindamage coming right up. An even more viral license which now even tries to spread on your hardware (specifically made for TiVO by the Stallman jew), and the famed KDE release which caught up with kernel 2.6 in terms of releasing a stable version that breaks literally everything, branded as "this is the right way to do it!".
February 2008: The Asus EeePC
I took pity on my aforementioned mate and his constant struggle with the zappy+masky shit called Gentoo, and gave him a Windows 7 install media. He's a happy user now. So yes, eeePC is nice, if you're not a total ass by ruining it.
September 2008: Android 1.0 SDK released
Nobody cares. I use iPhone, and developing software on Linux-driven devices (note the intentional missing of the phrase 'powered') makes the fellow developers cry like a baby in boiling water. Sometimes even the promotional videos of such devices provoke this phenomena. Keywords: lag, slow, broken.
April 2009: Oracle buys Sun (MySQL)
WTF @ linux.
And I'll finish this text of Greater Wisdom with my thanks to our favorite idiot: Gabor Micsko alias trey, the head of hup.hu, the suckiest Ubuntu fanportal on the hungarian internets. He argues that getting a SoundBlaster card working required a great deal of expertise. Well you got it all wron'! Back then it was simply modprobe sb (maybe specify the IO/IRQ/DMA values), and all was good. Now you have alsa/pulse/jackshit, and THAT really is not simple.
But hey, trey is actually a good guy, since as long as people like him are alive, the IT business will continue to spawn more and more hordes of unusable Linux-maniac idiots who can't do jack shit when serious fucking business comes around.
This is the end of 2009, and you've been reading the web's only VMS hosted Linux©® and Holocaust©® fan portal (they are actually similar in being terribly overrated). Get a life already, blogs suck. And now get drunk and shag wasted chicks, happy new year to me, and unhappy slow death to all of you.
Virtual Programming Ltd just sucks.
2009/12/11 11:41
Recently I got a new Mac, and that's good. The bad side is this: I've bought several strategy games which were created by the company Paradox Interactive, and ported to Mac OS X by Virtual Programming Ltd. The Mac ports have a copy protection scheme which requires entering the correct registration code, and an Internet connection. After entering it, the game checks with the VP Ltd. servers if the game has been already played on two different Macintosh already. If you're playing on a third one, the game will quit, and you have to send a mail to the VP support asking them to reset your account, which they are obliged to do free of charge.
Except that they aren't. See the conversation below.
Granted, I may have drank a bit before this last one, but hey, who wants to arrive home just to receive a “no u cant play!!1 nothin’tofix!!” message? Anyways, the next mail I received was this:
"Consider yourself banned from our support forum.
Your language is totally unacceptable."
So now I can't play the games I paid for, except if I get my old Mac back. There goes several hunder euros of wasted money to a bunch of idiots. The moral of the story: don't ever buy from Virtual Programming Ltd. And check back here sometimes, if I manage to "find" a VP copyprotection crack somewhere, maybe I'll post a link.
Except that they aren't. See the conversation below.

adaptec 7880 SCSI with OpenVMS
2009/08/28 18:19
Step one: VMS fails.
%INIT_IO_DB-F-CFG_DEV_NOT_FOUND, A device on the boot line, or in BOOT_DEV, cannot be found in the config tables.
How to fix: add this into [sysexe]sys$user_config.dat:
device = "Adaptec AIC-7880"
name = PK
driver = sys$pkadriver.exe
adapter = PCI
id = 0x81789004
boot_class = DK
boot_flags = HW_CTRL_LTR, UNIT_0
flags = SCSI, PORT, BOOT
end_device
There. Who needs open source?
ext4: latest linux braindamage
2009/03/18 07:20
So what the fuck are the communists of the FOSS herd up to now?
Yea right, another braindamaged filesystem for their broken-beyond-repair "Linux". Now that Reiser is in jail for slaughtering his whiny bitch wife, someone really had to step in and fill the gap in the long line of psychopathic linux developers.
Here's some background insight, the thing you never get from your local linux zealot. So there we are using write caches ever since some guys from IBM apparently invented the principle. Yea, using fast medium for temporary storage of data is good. Why? Go on, disable your CPU's and disk's caches and you'll immediately feel the pain. Write cache is among us for the latest thirty-some years, and everybody adores it. Let's fast forward those old cold war years to the year the next cold war started: 2009.
After the data annihilator¹ murderfs thankfully disappeared into the morning mist, some linux zeals created 2 (yes, two) new wheel-reinventing filesystems, completely oblivious to the fact that there's already a gazillion of non-working craplementations for better filesystems in their crappy kernel (see the HFS+ and Files-11 drivers). The other reason for coding new shit is that their shitty, limitation-stacked viral GPL license does not allow the inclusion of Sun's (otherwise fucking great) ZFS. Linux and "free" software is just way to cool.
So two new
Apparently some Ubuntu users (yes, some insane people actually do install shit with a name like this) experienced that their usual data losses with the horseshit linux kernel that has just crashed actually got a lot worse than with last week's hypefs. All their open files were zeroed out and such. You think that's bad? Wait until the vietcong author Ted Tso steps in.
The usual stuff happens: there's a bug in linux, so they start a religious crusade around it. This chink actually gets the audacity to argue that everything in the previously super-hyped-überalles FOSS industry is just badly written code. Oh wait, he's actually mostly right on that, but this is not the reason.
His crusade bullshit has more attack vectors, as usual.
First, accusations of heresy: "This is what is required by POSIX" - he shouts in half-conscious religious zeal. The mentioning of "POSIX" is a callword, it makes the believers fall to their knees and murmur "thank thee Lord for POSIX" and all that crap, despite the well established fact that they have absolutely no idea of what it actually is, and how much braindamage does it contain (see Posix ACLs here earlier). Never mind the fact that POSIX doesn't say "don't use write caching or you will die a terrible death." It would be the stupidest thing.
Second, fucking over with people actually using his fs: "Application writers had gotten lazy." Yeah, right. Those lazy bastards have actually been happily using write-caching for the last few decades, completely ignoring the future possibility that some idiot might code such a crappy filesystem for such a crappy kernel, that using DRAM cache for making your miserable IT using life even somewhat bearable will result in catastrophic data loss.
Third, assuming similarities where there are none: "xfs has had delayed allocation for years" Yes. And you know where it came from: Silicon Graphics' IRIX. You know what are the major differences between an Octane and your PC? The Octane works and your PC is a stinking shithole. Not to mention IRIX, see, the guys using this (then-top-notch) architecture were actually busy creating Toy Story and other shit in the whole nineties, while you are doing what, ten years later? Busy waking up from nightmares where application writers don't explicitly fsync their data onto your latest work of "code" before their hardware burns away or their latest "enterprise" Bubuntu Kernel panics away in dying screams. All thanks to the swarm of politican coders like you, that were mass-injected during the late days of kernel 2.4, commiting
Fourth, jumping on the usual bandwagon by saying "apparently some Ubuntu users are happy using proprietary Nvidia drivers". So yeah, Shitty Teddy argues that it's mostly "Ubuntu gamers", whose linuz box freezes and dies unexpectedly. Look, Ted, in case you haven't been paying attention to the gamer scene's latest years, linux is just not a gaming platform, you realize that?.. If you wanna game, you don't choose Linux. So the guys who you've just belittled are the sweet little linux switchers who would actually play something just a little more 2009-ish than Soko-Ban or Nethack while they are not possibly busy with deploying linux servers... using your filesystem? Well, from now on, probably not. Ideally, you should be hoping for these guys, but since you actually code linux for big money from big companies, you don't actually care about this "community" bullshit. That's actually understandable and logical. Proprietary display driver and whatnot: since the super-high-quality FOSS-bazaar replacements envisioned by Richard "Rot beard" Stallman are obviously just not gonna happen, the situation is at hand. Do something about it instead of whining like a pussy.
So what does he propose? Oh yeah, simple:
#1: don't use the "delayed allocation" ext4 feature which is causing you problems. But of course this is just a theoretical possibility, we're the stable-api-nonsense guys so we just don't consider sane things viable! On to number two!
#2: "fix" everyone else! Yes! This is the really recommended Tso method. It's simply being: "application writers who are worried about file getting lost... really should use fsync." See, Ted, you've just sucked cock again. People who worry about their files don't use ext4 or even Linux anymore! You've just lost them, and you'll keep on losing. Who the fuck do you think you are? You've coded a filesystem that will never make it to any other mainstream UNIX due to its restrictive GPL license (see the fatal decision of AdvFS' GPL release), and you expect the whole world to adjust and recompile to your new little shitty feature? The only reason you've written your shitload of "code" in the first place is that Linux people did not use XFS in masses, precisely because the LinuxPC world is just not stable for this! Power outage? Get a grip on reality instead of FUD'ing, the world has tons more unexpected software halts than power loss!
People who are "actually worried about files" have been using VMS for the latest twenty-some years, and they are fully intent on keeping doing so. You'd love that, every I/O is synchronous and guaranteed. Painfully slow, but guaranteed. Plus it doesn't panic. Ever. (unnecessarily compared to the horse manure that is called Linux)
Idiot.

Bugfix for Prolific PL3057
2006/09/11 22:39
Something useful for a change. What's the big ruckus on the net about this FireWire/USB chipset found in several external racks? Well to sum it up: you can't use two of these racks on the same 1394 bus, IF they both contain the same type of device (e.g. two HDDs, or two CD drives).
Why? The firmware of this device generates an 1394 unique ID (like MAC address for network cards), based on the IDE/ATAPI device inside. For me, it was "0050770e 00071002" (0x0e is the generated value, the others are hardcoded). However, two devices can't have the same ID on the same bus (which occurs for example with daisy chaining, or using 1394 hub), and this setup will not work.
For example, the XNU kernel (MacOSX) says:
kernel[0]: FireWire Error: Devices with identical unique ID: 0050770e 00071002 cannot be used.
The fix is simple: take the ROMWrite.exe utility, grab the latest (or as a last resort: use your current one, the aforementioned util can extract it) firmware, connect the rack to a Windows by USB, and modify this ID in the firmware file (look for 0x00071002). I bumped the last value to 0x03 and 0x04, uploaded the new firmware, and voila it's working.
Thanks to Pontscho / fresh!mindworkz for pointing out.
