Here is a guy who thinks systemd, udisks2 et. al. are turning Linux into Windows: http://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/udisks2-another-loss-for-linux/#comment-5851 I have to say I can see his point (although I am far from being a dev). While I like systemd in arch for fast boot times, my logs a...

I'd like to see end to this racial krap Good luck with that. It's in the interest of the ruling class that racism exist. If it didn't exist, they'd have to create it. I just bought another gun a couple days ago. I'm still annoyed that I have to tell the government what color I am, and what's worse,...

I don't believe in zombies and mermaids, but I am pretty sure that lizard people run Washington D.C.

Being friendly to Christians. I went each Sunday to a "Church" and even preached and prayed and studies the Bible and befriended all the believers there and where very active socially with them and I where friendly and they where friendly but it where obvious that as an atheist it is not ...

Here is a post that discusses why arch went over to systemd. You can decide for yourself how much it applies to Puppy. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1149530#p1149530 My arch boot times are around 28 seconds including typing in a lengthy password. However boot times are actually kind of...

I've been using arch lately, which is going over to systemd. There are a couple of things here. 1) Makes for a zippy boot. My arch boots way faster than Puppy ever did, on the same machine. However arch booted faster than Puppy with the old sysv init, but now it is going even faster. I spend the mos...

I have installed arch linux and tried this method. It works very well, and is not very complicated. I assume it would work with any OS that is fully encrypted except for the /boot partition.

I've been playing with other distros, for full disk encryption among other things. The one hole in the arrangement is that /boot cannot be encrypted so you can't be sure of it (I think we were talking about this in one of the threads here). There was some idea of checking the contents of /boot after...

Here is one example of an application that does this

I have read that some attacks on the internet could come through DNS servers, so I was wondering if there was a way to set up an internal cache. I don't want to manually edit hosts or resolve.conf. What I want is some daemon that will capture the DNS requests that I make in my day-to-day browsing an...

Sure is a good thing Obama has that Nobel Peace Prize.

Uh Aitch, you seem to be getting confused over who the bad guy is. The bad guy is the guy holding the gun. In other words, the government. Anybody, and any collection of people, has every right to resist theft in any way that they can. So Microsoft is doing NOTHING WRONG. On the other hand, if there...

Yeah, Max Keiser tends to go overboard a bit, doesn't he? Fourth Reich and all that. But without the histrionics, I think he is about right. I wouldn't make too much of the American govt threats against China. That what this government does, rattle sabres. But they have more sense than to go to war ...

This youtube is a good, concise explanation of the problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Fzm1hEiDQ&feature=share If you want to dig in more, listen to Lew Rockwell interviewing this same guy. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man I hope we don't get into this futile back and forth about "c...

I got the fastest possible sdhc card I could find, plugging it into the card reader of my netbook, and it was still much slower than the ssd internal drive, which in itself is no great shakes in a Dell Mini 9. But the speed difference may have more to do with the bus than anything, I suppose. ext2 c...

I have looked under heatsinks before and found spotty application of the compound. It might be worth a try, but make sure you don't get a bubble of air in there that would defeat your purpose. Also think about your fan bearings, if they are drying out and the fan slowing down, you won't be getting e...

Who knows, this might work...

I don't use swap at all. I have 1GB of ram. Buy more ram if you are worried.

Format your ssd drive ext2 to avoid the journaling writes.

I'd be nervous about CF. They are pretty slow I think, compared to regular hard drives or SSD drives.

Anonymous are my heroes.
