@derobert thats the way to do it. The latency on that first packet though.... :)
I remember calling every ISP in San Antonio in 1998 to find out who would give dialup with a static ip. 99% of them either said no or quoted an outrageous price to rent a class C, but I finally found one that would do it for $10/mo and give me shell access to their server.
> Check the chrooted system the presence of /proc if the chroot is not likely to be fully operational. A priori, since version debootstrap Debian/Wheezy integrates natively mount /proc and /sys
Does this mean that proc and sys for the chroot are already bind-mounted by debootstrap?
Native support
Since Ubuntu 11.04 and Debian wheezy (7.0), Debian and Ubuntu have multiarch support: you can mix x86_32 (i386) and x86_64 (amd64) packages on the same system in a straightforward way. This is known as multiarch support See warl0ck's answer for more details.
In older releases, De...
I titled it this way because it was the most common use case at the time
Maybe I should change it now that multiarch has made this use case markedly less common
@MichaelMrozek Look, you're a moderator. That means you have to deal with flags and conflicts sometimes. Can you please deal with this without making me waste more time on mikeserv?
I'm trying not to interact with mikeserv, but deleting my answers because he doesn't like them is way beyond the line.
@MichaelMrozek seriously? You've seen me on this site for 4 years and you don't think I can come up with this stuff in less time than it would take me to read his answer?
I'm amazed that two people came up with that solution at basically the same time, but if you say so, fine. I assumed you copied the code part from his and just tried to explain how it worked
@MichaelMrozek I don't see why originality is required. Isn't it ok to post a similar reply to someone elses which attempts to clarify something? I've certainly done that in the past.
If there are rules about they would be difficult to enforce, assuming they existed.
If I'd copied his code to explain it (which I haven't... My code doesn't appear anywhere in his answer), I would have used citation formatting and included a link as acknowledgement
@FaheemMitha If you came up with it independently, obviously you don't have to cite somebody who had nothing to do with it. In this case I assumed Gilles was using mikeserv's answer and just forgot to cite it, but I was wrong
That's perfectly possible. Just because someone said it first doesn't mean you can't say it too. As for copying, sure the ethical thing would be to cite it, but it is hard to prove you didn't think of it independently.
In any case, getting worked up about something like that is irrational. It is not like one is having a quarrel over research priority.
Each shell has its own way of expanding the prompt. OpenBSD's ksh is pdksh. See its prompt settings in the manual, under the PS1 parameter.
The way ksh works is that it performs parameter substitution, command substitution and arithmetic substitution (all the $ expansions) on the value of PS1 be...
is this enough to request the deletion of mikeserv's answer? I came up with the idea two years ago! Clear case of plagiarism!
You can see the system working here, where Caleb and I posted overlapping answers and benefited from each other's and Stéphane's remarks
oh, and that's also where you can see the system not working, with mikeserv's intervention
@MichaelMrozek I've been ignoring mikeserv in chat for a little while. I tried to get him to stop fighting in comments, but he refused. I intend to keep my policy of not replying to him in comments.
