Actually, I have my public facing servers configured to listen to 443 as well. Why? Because many corporate and public space wifi spots like libraries, will block 22, but allow 443 for https, so on my shell servers, I also listen to 443.

You BUY MacOS or WhenBlows, but Linux is generally free to download. You can buy support from some vendors such as Ubuntu, Redhat, Mandriva, and Manjaro, but in all cases I am aware of, Linux itself is free.

@sxan @beta_tester EXACTLY, I am glad SOMEBODY gets it.

What it means is that you're getting the libs the program uses with the program instead of using the system libs, this defeats the whole point of shared memory and wastes RAM, it is inefficient but saves them from having to compile for each distro, still, the system loader has to resolve and load these making loading slower, if they had to include the libs, a better way to do it is to simply compile the binary as a static binary with all the libs compiled in, at least that way it saves the loader overhead.

What I loved about these remotes is you could take out a set of car keys and shake them and watch the channel changer go berserk.

@SeaJ I agree on time, 24 hours makes it a lot easier to communicate times with people in other time zones and easier to calculate from GMT.

Chinas largest to smallest unit makes sense to me since it's the same as Arabic numbers, largest to smallest, and so sorting order would also be same.

Actually not accurate for "Rest of the World", China uses year month day.

I've not been fond of Chrome and Edge because of the spyware aspect, but Firefox lately has become so friggin' flakey since it's gone snap that it's almost unusable and now that there is a Linux version of Edge, it actually seems to operate quite smoothly.

There isn't a distro that doesn't support Xen because it's built into the kernel, and I've built virtual machines on Xen and Qemu-KVM, compared their performance and found the differences minute at best but Qemu-KVM is more flexible so not sure why I'd want to use Xen anyway.

My experience with snap has been nothing but bad, I absolutely hate it.

This is what happens under fascism.
