I’m working on a custom boot sequence for my Arria 10 SoC Demo Board. Rbf files and U-Boot should be in QSPI Flash, and Linux Kernel and RootFS are in SDMMC. I have no idea how to reach MMC memory from U-Boot that is in QSPI Flash. I searched for an example with no luck. But since U-Boot can init...
so...seriously, if I'm used to Notepad++ or Vis Studio on windows, what is a good editor for CentOS? Either GUI or terminal based. Should I just learn vim?
@Jesse_b - not to belabor it, but you put in information that would allow a random person to discern the probably identity of someone that didn't wish that information to be here. Perfectly reasonable to remove.
You're in Denver? Fantastic! I grew up in a suburb, my family is all still there. Wish I was there. :(
I think I've just become too old and jaded. My friends criticise me for using facebook messenger as my primary means of communication because "what about privacy?"
I find it cute when people think it's possible to have privacy on the internet
But I also wonder what the hell they talk about that they are worried about their messages being seen
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Well, he puts his full name and location in his profile. Just from that, I've got a pretty good idea of a couple places he has lived and some relatives.
@FaheemMitha I'm just old and jaded. I used to be very passionate about the government specifically staying out of my private affairs and never liked the saying "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about." Don't get me wrong I still believe that people shouldn't be meddling in my personal affairs but I pretty much don't care about it at all anymore. I know the government and corporations like facebook are out of control and I certainly wont be able to make them change.
But I don't have anything to hide so it doesn't really bother me
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy This. For whatever reason, say some whackadoo decides one of your repositories just ruined their life. Profile information can tell me where you are, your relatives, where you work, where you have lived, etc.
While it might be impossible to hide on the internet, that doesn't mean a random chat comment should make it easy. :)
@Jesse_b No, but you linked to something that had more information, and from that I was able to find more information. Just because you don't mind people knowing you were in the Marines, or your last job, etc., doesn't mean there are people that want to be more private.
@Jesse_b Simple google search. Led me to linked in, facebook, some of the "tracker" sites that give possible relatives, and the personal pics (mostly) match up, so I'd give it about an 80% certainty.
@JohnP Also I'm not really arguing that it should have been shared. I mostly agree and would have removed it myself if I could have. I just don't see it as that big of a deal as I shared something that the user has already made public in another forum. It would be a big deal if it were some private profile or information about that user posted by someone else
I just feel if there were some information that user didn't want shared they wouldn't have shared it in a very public place
@Jesse_b Quite possibly, and I'm not arguing that you are wrong. However, they requested removal of it, and flagged it for mod attention. So...I removed it. I just did one step backwards, so had to get another mod to delete the history.
@Jesse_b Plus, there are a lot of people that don't want their SE accounts linked to their public profile, for various reasons. (Academia, Workplace spring to mind as two primary places for that).
@Jesse_b - Although I do have to give you credit, most of your FB profile is inaccessible, which is very often not the case. Kudos.
@FaheemMitha Who said phone and email aren't ? Technically, there were cases of big companies like Verizon selling data. Oh, and considering phone circuitry is mostly digital nowadays, everything is traceable much easier than in 80s. There's even a question on skeptics site about it somewhere
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy this. Sprint has a portal for law enforcement agencies to log into and get whatever data they want. tmobile stopped nating phones so that they can be tracked more easily. All companies have standard procedures for "information requests" some charge a small fee others do it for free
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Well, email at least, is quite easily encrypted. And in theory, phone conversations can be too. Still, I take your point. But I still think FB is much nicer for people who trying to gather information.
Do US phone companies record everything then? Or are we just talking about who talked to who?
Well, that goes back to the idea of "who are you and your adversary". I don't think encrypting an email to friend about how I spent last weekend is worthy of effort, and may not be worthy of reading for certain people. Different story if you're a political or business figure, and of interest to government or blackhats
To be on the safe side, running non-Intel hw, and setting up local chat and video messaging might be better than using commercial services. That encrypting that stuff with private certs+a local VPN lol...and/or running it over Tor.
@RuiFRibeiro If any of my friends tried to suggest something like this for communicating with them I would probably start to be very suspicious that they are a serious criminal.
@RuiFRibeiro Not really. I wish we weren't being monitored as much as we are but I think the only reason to go through that much trouble to hide your activities is if you have something very heinous to hide
@Jesse_b It is easy to setup such services. In the past I have a VPN connection to my home to a couple of friends, but just because they were being expats and their Internet was shitty.
@RuiFRibeiro I left Facebook for like 7 months mostly because I got tired of reading the dramma and sensationalist nonsense type of posts, and besides I had stuff in personal life that made Facebook kinda irrelevant for that time.
As for streaming stuff, well . . . . I watch YouTube mostly.
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy I used fb with javascript filters, killing off all adverts, movies, pics and filtering words life football, obama, oprah, Trum, religion, feminism...no pacience for the common day-to-day trash.
It's still technically illegal in India, for example. And India, by world standards is a relatively civilized sort of place. I stress the term "relative".
I mean, one could argue the US govt has never been good, but it's historically operated under some restraints. Imagine what a fascist US govt could do with data collection.
The same goes for any of the larger, more militaristic countries, at least.
I mean, for example, I doubt the Danish people lie awake at night worrying about what their govt is going to do to them. But lots of other people do. And we certainly worry about the govt here.
@RuiFRibeiro Wow, that's a lot of links.
@RuiFRibeiro What did you think of Citizen4? Good documentary, wasn't it?
@RuiFRibeiro I'm not sure what this one has to do with anything.
Learned much more when later on had on my first job a farm of Ultrix machines just on my own.
Which were hacked on my first year....lots of opportunity to learn.
Fortunately, they were rather benevolent hackers too...only a script replacing the Oracle daemon and the shutdown binary....recovered anything from tape nevertheless...
then went on to another job to use AIX, HP/UX and Solaris...
and after that intenational projects using a RH variant already defunct, and Debian
international....
then managed an ISP and installed Debian on all their servers...and it has been Debian ever since, except in this new job were 99% of servers are either CentOS or RH.
@FaheemMitha I still have to install Xenix or SCO V on emulation lol
@FaheemMitha (Cut out from the story my stints as international network consultant and working as a network administrator)...My profile is a bit diverse.
@FaheemMitha It depends on the internal culture of the place too. Businesses not IT oriented are a tad bad places to work. When I work in ISP environments it is much more exciting and you have got a lot of similar oriented people around you.
@FaheemMitha Also senior admins are expected to take a lot of decisions on their own shoulders, especially when under fire.
I don't find working with computers the most exciting thing in the world, intellectually speaking. But it certainly could have been a more positive experience than it was.
Academia? mixed feelings. Great for learning stuff and do investigation, collaborating with other universities...I helped our national universities with Radius....
but inernally too much back-sttabing and internal politics.
@FaheemMitha I did my alliances, and created my customers. Had a lot of support from the dev team and the IT engeneering professors. But I had to got out of my way to create that.
then you might be doing the greatest job in the world and people say you are lazy.
The IT department was not very well seen
I gave a lot of support also to professors and especially devs, because at the end of the day, it was better knowing what they were doing, and planning in advance for that
than try to guess things and putting out fires
It also allowed me giving a guiding hand and things not getting so out of hand.
Then it also had benefits...when I setup open source VPN solutions, a professor voluntereed to do the beta testing and got me 300 hundred better testers that he managed.
Though that sysadmin work I was mentioning wasn't a regular job anyway. It was sort of something I fell into. I was just trying to help out. Bad move on my part.
In this world, you need to look out for yourself, and watch your back. Because nobody else is going to do it for you.
@FaheemMitha I was asked to pick up in university the Linux department cause I give a big helping hand to the network and dev team...then politics went on the middle and I was never formelly appointed as team lead. Too long a story.
