cruft posted:Right? i mean, I guess there's a difference between "daemon" meaning "fork and close stdout/in/err, then exit the parent" and "daemon" meaning "fork/thread/etc on incoming requests and process them on worker threads/processes" (which is what many daemons do) but I really thought the former was the actual definition of "daemon" anyway that's frustrating

i forgot that this library function exists because I think my edition of Stevens' APUE shows doing it manually. and I don't work on platforms that have fork() generally speaking

Chewbecca posted:In my head Linux is pronounced line-ucks, idc if this is wrong because its right in my heart linus is finnish but from an swedish ethnic area so his name has like 3 different pronunciations depending on what language, but he has clarified that linux is pronounced "linn-ucks" fun fact, linus's other major piece of software is called "git" because, according to him, he names all his software after himself

knuthgrush posted:My current moment of feeling like I live in the future is running kodi on my Linux mint desktop with kore on my android phone (also technically Linux). I can pull up videos with newpipe from YouTube or a couple other sites and stream them to kodi by way of Kore. I ran an xbmc/kodi box for 15 years or so to watch Perfectly Legitimately Acquired TV And Or Movies but a year ago or so I moved everything to Plex, hosted on a seedbox in the netherlands that I can watch from the Roku Plex app on the TV, but I can also watch it from pretty much any device anywhere which is nice. it's nice being in a hotel or on the train on your phone and having all your Legally Digitized And Definitely Not Pirated media right there

knuthgrush posted:Funny enough, I don't have any Totally Legal, Etc. content. I really don't watch a lot of movies or TV and I don't have the storage for all of that. Plus the automation and setup to Acquire Legal Content (Seriously!) was so convoluted it's easier to pay the streaming cartel. Mostly it was laziness because I touch computers for a living so there's that. I use kodi for the Free IPTV list of public channels I found on github and as a way to do the YouTube from the couch thing. The benefit is no ads vs the YouTube program on my roku on the bigly TV. yeah i've had a system of ropes and pullies to automate my content for a while now. there are some tools that make it pretty easy, and the usenet thread in sh/sc is very helpful

cruft posted:I've met rms several times. He's gross. he spoke at our ACM chapter in college. one student asked about ways to make a living with free software (we were all coached to not say open source). his response was that free software was more important than making a living, so you should try to couchsurf, and ignore things like "having a family" or "having health insurance"

display is absolutely gonna be the limiting factor. if you take away the part where it's actually displaying the terminal in any way: unless sl does a bunch of useless math for no reason to spike CPU (which it could since it's a troll program to begin with) then I think you'd run out of PIDs on a modern machine before you were using all your cpu just doing the logic of sl, and that includes ncurses or whatever it's doing. so yeah. it's hard to really express how fast CPUs are anymore when they're not waiting on something (memory, disk, GPU, context switch to the kernel or to another process) and on a multicore system you'll be able to use basically all of them memory shouldn't be a significant issue since it's gonna be dominated by the program itself (can't imagine sl is keeping more than a few KB of state, unless it's as a troll) which is just gonna be in the same pages honestly the tight loop of the program itself is probably all gonna fit in icache which means you won't have memory pressure either

honestly the limiting factor even if you get rid of the display is gonna be the write(2) system calls and their associated context switches
