Allowing or disallowing drivers is already possible via module signature enforcement, except it's really not very user friendly. Maybe a better approach...

[jacob]

"Wayland" is not removing anything, this is (or rather should be) a compositor feature, not a protocol feature. Gnome does the same thing as...

[jacob]

Actually it would be perfectly possible in Wayland, you would just have to implement it as a compositor extension instead...

[jacob]

Out of interest, which of the alternatives out there is not a "pig" according to you?...

[jacob]

The whine squad is too shocked to even report for duty...

[jacob]

I think you have long lost the thread of your thoughts if you ever had one. Anyone who knows the first thing about firewalld knows that it uses nftables...

[jacob]

In your case it is obviously called ignorance. In practice noninterference proof is required everywhere real security matters, incl. in defense, smart...

[jacob]

In reality security doesn't come from control, it comes from proof. To be able to prove, for example, a noninterference property, you need to chose an...

[jacob]

One of the main advantages of firewalld is that the switching is automatic. You select a zone the first time you connect somewhere, then it remembers...

[jacob]

Mate, before you lecture someone about what needs to "sink in" you really should make an effort to understand what many people have been trying...

[jacob]

Actually codecs are mostly implemented using the compiler's SIMD intrinsics. Ok, technically they are basically assembly instructions....

[jacob]

So when using GNOME you are not really using Linux? Using Linux means only invoking kernel syscalls in assembly? You really sound like some l33t kid to...

[jacob]

If you are looking for a trick to achieve that at least partly using nftables alone, yes of course you will find it. But that doesn't mean that it makes...

[jacob]

Out of curiosity, what would be the use of that? I'd say that permissions to the files within squashfs would and should be bounded by the rights of the...

[jacob]

Depends on the company of course. What I'm saying is that on a user friendly OS people should be able to say what they want, including wrt network traffic,...

[jacob]

Having a distro that installs firewalld securely is obviously the assumption here. In fact that's the whole reason why computers exist at all: to automate...

[jacob]

When you want to learn about CPUs, absolutely. When you are developing application software, it's the wrong option 99.99999999% of the time....

[jacob]

Assembly is used very little in high performance computing. Fortran rules there and it can usually optimise and autovectorise nontrivial code better than...

[jacob]

You seem determined not to see the point. The difference is obvious: different WiFi access point. Nftables doesn't have that information, firewalld does...

[jacob]

I have written more than a little of assembly code, both on the M68K and on the x86_64. I've also written a compiler that generates x86_64 assembly. It's...
