Creating a kernel is hard, Linux itself is not going anywhere.
If all current maintainers suddenly disappear, several corporations, who heavily depend on Linux, will maintain their own forks, so we will get Google kernel for phones, Amazon kernel for datacenters, Valve kernel for gaming, and probably some European initiative kernel for PCs and laptops to do document editing.

Because it does work, you need grep -E for ‘+’ to work without escaping. Also, your quotes are wrong, ‘ should be ’ .

grep -o '/dev/loop[0-9]\+'

Because you won’t determine the type of NAT during hole punching. This requires the client sending two UDP packets to two different IP addresses, then comparing their source addresses on the server.

Normally yes, you can just assume that two clients you are trying to connect both have port restricted cone NAT, and run the hole punching algorithm, and if the connection fails after ten seconds, show message to the users ‘Error 418: your router is a teapot’.

The one use case is running STUN/TURN server for NAT hole punching, that requires two separate servers, or one server with two IP addresses. You will only need that to run masterserver for games that support hole punching, or to run VoIP telephony / teleconference server.

Another use case is reliability, when your server is connected to several network providers, it will keep working if one of them has an outage, and will naturally have a different IP address for each network link. But your VPS does not have several network links, otherwise they would advertize that in bold red letters.

It flies, so I don’t get the joke. I’m an embedded developer BTW.

Gone are the days when I could set up a Wallhaven wallpaper updated each minute, because the plugin no longer works.

Works in Termux on Android

std::vector<bool> fits eight booleans into one byte.

Ain’t no way mah C++ modules deliver any of them malware.

What length would people go to work around Python’s GIL.

Your grandma will never type file names in shell, she’ll use Open File dialog, where case sensitivity does not matter.

#3 is my script that converts one particular RSS feed to .ical format, and pushes it to a repo, because setting up a website for one silly script was overkill.

I was forced to code in Perl one time, there’s no way it could be good.

They had finally added a package manager to systemd, your apt and dnf and emerge are deprecated now.

Password strength is usually checked inside your browser, not on the server.

Ah don’t worry, if you do fopen(file, "w") on Windows and forget to use "wb" flag, it will automatically replace all your \n with \r\n when you do fwrite, then you will try to debug for half a day your corrupted jpeg file, which totally never happened to me because I’m an experienced C++ developer who can never make such a novice mistake.

It depends on whether you are printing to a terminal or to a file (and yes the terminal is also a file), and even then you can control the flushing behaviour using something like unbuffer
