Fuck cloudflare but kudos to them.
The agreement means that Sable will tell the US Patent and Trademark Office that it is abandoning its patent rights and no further claims based on those patents will be possible.
Gold.
This compares GNU's libc with musl (aims at POSIX conformance and being lightweigth), uClibc (size) and dietlibc (size but has no full support?).
It leaves out Google's bionic, used in Android, which is not compatible with GNU's libc... go figure...
So most alternatives aim to be smaller and some also focus on standards compliance (GNU's libc is not fully POSIX-compliant AFAIK).
For instance, technically Debian has the packages to do SELinux, but it’s Fedora (and OpenSUSE, I think?) that actually come out the box with them.
Debian still has to ensure SELinux works if and when the user decides to install it.
There is one point of innovation left, but it highly technical and somewhat risky for everyday users - libc alternatives. The C standard library is one of the few core packages in a distro that can’t really be replaced by the user.
Why would that be innovation? libc is stable and ubiquitous. Ironically, Gentoo would probably pull it off but it's not for the distros to do, but rather upstream.
Plus the need to open ports on the home router and ensuring more than 100 GB won't piss off the ISP.
This is encapsulation, which is one of the better ideas from OOP languages. Though also not unique to them.
Interfaces, APIs, mincroservices, the unix philosophy...
Woah! Thanks for the tips!
The very broad strokes (not red-scared).
Marxist-Leninist books I recommend
Such as? Need a book to read next.
Onan Brien or the Arbarian?
If you want the bleeding edge go Sid.
