It's a jackassical attempt at humor, as others have said.

IBM System 390 was a 1990s series of models of what used to be called
mainframes (though now _way_ smaller than they used to be), with their
own chip architure.  It was replaced in the 2000s by the IBM zSeries family 
(which then got other similar names with 'Z' in them, whenever IBM
Marketing department got twitchy and decided to rebrand a little).

zSeries is 64-bit, and I vaguely recall that being one difference from
the related S/390 series that preceded it, but they're closely related.
The Linux relevance is that there have for a very long time been ports
to S/390 boxen and to zSystems, including an official Debian port that
as of Debian 9 'strech' drops the 32-bit 'ESA/390 mode' support and
requires support of 'Z/Architecture', which AFAIK is mostly or entirely
about that type of 64-bit operation.

(I'm vague on the fine details of these, and if someone on Dng really
thinks it's worth time gnawing on fine details that I've failed to cover
with excruciating exactitude, about which I could not possibly be arsed
to research fully, you'll earn a virtual cookie and a vitual pat on your
little OCD head.)

I think strlcpy/strlcat are the functions which are the easiest to not

I have had a lot of memory problems with both strcpy and strcat working

Well, it is possible to use strcpy() right.  On the other hand, _every_ use
of strncpy() for a C string is a bug.

There are three possibilities:
A> either the string does overflow
B> or it doesn't
C> you know the string's length beforehand

If A>, then you have a nasty non-terminated string that can't be passed to
any function expecting a C string (resulting in a read overflow).  Yay a
security hole, crash, or at least corrupted data.

If B>, you waste time clearing the buffer.  As there's a static size
(otherwide it'd be C>), there's a good deal of headway.  In a typical case
(judging from programs I looked at) you have a string of twelve bytes in a
buffer of 2K... and a clear every single copy.  Yay significant slowdown.

If C>, you should have used memcpy() instead.  Scanning for a 0 is slower
than a blind loop.

On the other hand, snprintf(), strlcpy() and so on do what naive intuition
says strncpy() would do.

Re: [DNG] Well, this is interesting

2018-10-29 Thread taii...@gmx.com
I wouldn't consider this necessarily doom and gloom

IBM has done a lot of good lately in regards to affordable performance
computing freedom with OpenPOWER and helping to bring the Raptor TALOS 2
and Blackbird to life - no other company would take and implement
suggestions from a small player let alone assist them with development.

Although at the same time they have done a lot of H1B bullshit (sadly
IBM is more indian than american now) and they love to make surveillance
software.

..I find your take on this, disturbingly credible.
But Big Blue has also done incredible good things:

As I understand, IBM's largest asset licensing its pool of patents.
With that in mind, I think of this purchase of Red Hat as them
attempting to cement control in something fundamental.  Not patents,
but software, development, and programmers.

No they won't kill it, they want to own it.

No actually...

Pottering is a Microsoft plant set with the mission to destroy Linux as

Big Blue are stepping in to nullify him :)

Quoting hal (vmli...@charter.net):


What are the particulars?

The Bloomberg report
(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-28/ibm-is-said-to-near-deal-to-
+acquire-software-maker-red-hat)
says this is a _cash_ acquisition, the tender offer being at $190/share,
which is a huge premium over the stock's closing market price of
$116.68/share on Friday.  The Bloomberg reporters claim this is IBM's
move to quickly get into cloud computing.

This is by far the largest acquisition IBM has ever carried out, and the
third largest in USA tech, ever.



    Not clear what's best, RedHat being bought by IBM, Microsoft, or 
Google.


    I was thinking Systemd was made to attract Microsoft or Google; 
therefore it's a surprise. Maybe IBM moved to beat the two other.
