Nah, fecal transplants involve swallowing poop in capsules. It has to reach the long intestine. Sticking poop in your rectum won't do it.

But back to the topic, while it's helpful that this info is being found out I worry that it'll just reinforce those anti-vax moms' beliefs that giving their autistic kids bleach enemas is actually good. I can see it now, Facebook posts linking to this and saying, "See, it's backed by SCIENCE!"

Dovecot is POP3/IMAP, Postfix is the MTA for SMTP.

Dongs. Just dongs.

I suppose they don't fully comprehend us humans' perception of a line leaning forward (right) and backward (left) on a 2D plane, which is pretty sad. You don't have to be smart - you just have to be, well, human. It's wired into our way of thinking. I as well can't think of how many times I've heard someone read a URL and call them backslashes.

I've preferred MacPorts/DarwinPorts because it's very similar to BSD Ports in regards to it using libraries separate from the base install, unlike the way homebrew works in regards to a number of libraries. Also MacPorts has gone a long way when it comes to having precompiled packages ready. I remember the 10.6 days and how much you compiled but now - 95% (my personal estimate) of the dependencies and target ports you're trying to install has precompiled packages for your specific Darwin version ready to go. Many times there's no compiling involved at all.

Yes, it did work after 2013. No issues that I experienced. If Cydia didn't work correctly then the jailbreak app which installs Cydia with it was faulty somehow. I remember a couple times where it didn't initially work and redoing the jailbreak would fix it. I've lost interest in it probably since iOS 11 but I actively jailbroke before then.

alt.binaries.* never went away, you just need to pay for a provider as no one is going to give you access to petabytes of data covering thousands of days of retention for free. Then there are the websites that index the content and provide generated NZBs, most of the decent ones being private these days. Binary content on usenet is very much alive and active.

OpenBSD install media comes with binary distribution sets xbase**, xfont**, xserv**, xshare** (** being the version number, latest being 64 for version 6.4) for installing Xorg support which you can select when you install the OS.

And I'll just add that it's annoying that on neither TFA or on this /. post is the actual setting comp-lzo specifically mentioned. You have to interpret the patch diff linked in TFA.

To disable lzo compression, make sure "comp-lzo no" is included in the config as mentioned in my parent post.

My AirVPN configs have had "comp-lzo no" in it since I've been using them so no worries about that. Looking up more info, it seems some of the AirVPN ovpn files generated for specific devices have it enabled because it would otherwise not work on that device (eh what?), but they still have lzo compression disabled on their server end so it is not used regardless.

The AC is pointing out that it's called Revelation, not Revelations.

what TFA is referring to:

Well that's the most open source digital rights management I've ever seen. This is very specifically referring to direct rendering manager: https://github.com/torvalds/li...

"They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"Meat. They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."

"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"

"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."

"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."

"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."

"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."

"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat."

"Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage."

"Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?"

"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside."

"Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."

"No brain?"

"Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you."

"So ... what does the thinking?"

"You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat."

"Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"

"Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?"

"Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat."

"Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years."

"Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?"

"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual."

"We're supposed to talk to meat."

"That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing."

"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"

"Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."

"I thought you just told me they used radio."

"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."

"Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?"

"Officially or unofficially?"

"Both."

"Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing."

"I was hoping you would say that."

"It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?"

"I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?"

"Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact."

"So we just pretend there's no one home in the Universe."

"That's it."

"Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You're sure they won't remember?"

"They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them."

"A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream."

"And we marked the entire sector unoccupied."

"Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?"

"Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again."

"They always come around."

"And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone ..."

People running OSes that come with the root account disabled. Having the root account disabled is being used as a security feature. Ubuntu follows the similar practice of disabling the root account by default, and there is no password set there either. You can of course enable it if you want but most people don't, as disabling the root account and limiting superuser actions to sudo isn't a bad idea at all. The fact that in 10.13 you're able to re-enable the root account by trying to use it with a blank password a few times is pretty upsetting and really has nothing to do with the practice of disabling root at all.
