It just happens, it has happened before and when the shit works and solve compatibility issues by having adopted standard, it is useful. What can I do for that?! It is problem in IT-industry that every player want to smuggle patent into standards or want to make own tech to adopted and demand royalties. Then everyone make own incompatible version on same thing and others make new abstraction layer of shit to make things again compatible. The reason why I think JS is great is that all players in IT-industry are commited to support it. ~everyone tried to put own proprietary tech to same use and failed. Now everyone are given up, and support that JS and now it WORKS. It is good to everyone support that portable technology because now their own native ecosystems looks better and they can make users to depend on them. And oneone can't stop supporting JS either because then software stops working.. -> we got established standard. I also think that this is again new abstraction layer of shit but it is kind of inevitable while IT industry failed to make standard hardware architecture and top of HW, there is C code that is depending on build technology from 70's. > While there, convince everyone Theo is the reason JS is everywhere.

Optimal complexity is when there is nothing you like to add and nothing you like to remove. It is just that sometimes happens event called "disruptive innovation". When it happens, it is good to sit down and think, why that happened and why I was so stupid to not to realize that myself, because there are some good reasons always what make that event possible. It is also stupid to ignore that event ever happened. I didn't understand myself right away that iPhone was such a event (and I'm not Apple fanboy at all). This conversation brings me a lot of ideas what should be done when building something simple.. Like removing that stupid "web browser" idiom that where is addressbar and back/forward buttons. How about changeing "web browser" to "app launcher". Someting like "launch https://application.com"; and that app launcher is designer to be app container. Application is started for local or remote computer, enforces security restricting access to local resources and remote servers and even know window coordinates so every application is launched on correct position on screen. And Javascript console.log can put stuff to stdout, errors to stderr... That can be also then use to make more complex user interfaces, integrating several applications to one view. Hell yeah, more I think, I just don't even want to use anything else than those, terminal windows and X for legacy apps. It can also change world better if defaults are secure and that app launcher is adopted.

Hi, I know a few months back the information for the retirement of Austin was sent and as such many things are not available anymore. But sometime money do not always come at the right time and life get you busy making old habit on hold for a while. So, I wonder if it is possible somehow or somewhere to get the earlier DVD release still? My collection have holes in it. I have all of them from when I started (2.7), but now I am sadly missing 4.9 to 5.5 (4.9 and 5.0 are lost) and wonder if I can catch up with it. Puffy fell sadly on the self. I wanted to do it before it was to late, but life got his turn on me and time fly and now I am looking to catch up if at all possible. Sorry Theo, if that's gone for good, then I will forget it, but if not, any clue where or if possible to do? I am truly sorry to asked as I know to well it's to late, but I thought to do so anyway just in case. Best, Daniel PS: No need to make this into an other JavaScript tread please!

Re: openbsdstore: enable javascript and buy something or gtfo
>You mean, there is _legislation_ on how to write software? Some industries, yes. But this is not related to JS. Practically whole IT-industry supports JS. If you like to do portable application programming, you have to write JS or compile your code to JS if you want to get that working everywhere. >You mean, unlike C? Write graphical application, Hello World is enough, that should work on all desktops, workstations, tablet, pocket/phone and game console. It must work all supported versions and all HW architectures. End users must not need to compile code. Just run ready software. Now, do you see why C isn't portable by today standards? >Your browser is written in what language exactly? Application programmer doesn't need to know anything below browser. It is very strong interface. Something like libc. When someone writes some command line tool, there is no need to know what is below libc. >"Running PHP code top of Java stack"? >What on earth are you talking about? Portable application source is JS or compiled to JS (from Coffeescript, Typescript etc.). There is libraries and frameworks but they all run top of browser where everything is JS. In server side, below is libc and top of that there is Ruby, Java, C#, Python, PHP, C, C++, node.js etc. software stacks. And there is often code mixed from other software stacks and all those stacks of course are running. >Browsers are getting slower all the time. Bullshit. Try this: http://peacekeeper.futuremark.com Newer browsers run software faster. Ancient browsers may even fail tests. >Wah have had it for decades. There were JS applications made ten years ago, yes. It matured 2009 or something to be very usable. Before it was slow, buggy, some browsers were limited and it required much effort to make the crap working. In past year, JS technology is matured to that level there isn't much limitations any more. >You really _are_ trolling, right? I'm not. You just can't practically make portable application without JS or language that is compiled to JS. I think that is the biggest industry changing trend what is caused by iPhone. Before that, there was libc and some nice library like GTK+ or some other, you can write software that can compile and run about everywhere. Then Steve pulled iPhone from jeans pocket, iPhone was very closed ecosystem, useful and popular and changed application programming. You are very ignorant if you didn't notice that. Did you notice that Google, Microsoft and Canonical began to do the same? It also matters when over 99% of frontends are from these companies + game consoles too, which have always been restricted. It is impossible to application programmer to ignore that. Especially when everyone seems to be dropping out, deprecating or put second-class citizen status those technologies that makes possible to write easily portable software without JS. Example: -Apple has removed X from Mac OS -Both Red Hat and Canonical seems to be abanoning X -Microsoft is starting to upgrade OS once a year or something and advertise "unified OS". In Windows 8, all but WinRT and HTML5 apps works terribly. -Microsoft restricted new WinRT API to Microsoft store -Apple has deprecated Carbon -Those application stores are under control Simply, application programmer is pushed to JS stack if you want to make application portable, so that it also has a continuity. You never know when Win32, or some other backbone is dropped or it is available only in some embedded edition. It is also realized by Qt, because QML can run top of runtime, in environment where you just can't compile C++ for some reason. Of course it doesn't matter if application doesn't have to be portable. Just write C# for WinRT or C for OpenBSD + GTK+3 and be happy.

By itself, one of the ntpd daemons will keep open the stdin/out/err it was started with, which in this case will be the pipe or tty created by of the ssh server.

But if I understood correctly, you are trying to make a tcp port on a machine behind your firewall, available to others, in your internal lan, to others, right? Well, for starters, I wouldn't use dns names on the port forwarding part. It's prone to errors, not to mention the fact that you'll get confused wheter the name is resolved locally or remote. But it's remote, IIRC. In your case, you need to add your ip address to the forwarding. In your case, it would become: -L :6030::5432 If it's not this that you want, please clarify.

Well, this thread started because the OP not only controls what JS he opens in his browser, but he do not allow any. We already established that you can control, and allow or not it.

ntpd -s via ssh remote command 'hangs'
Hi, Dumb question: I'm running 'sudo ntpd -s' as part of a remote command to an OpenBSD guest[*]; unless I add a 'pkill sshd' to the end of the remote command, e.g. ssh guesthost 'sudo pkill -9 ntpd && sudo ntpd -s && date && pkill sshd' the ssh connection won't disconnect. Why is this ('sudo ntpd -s' by itself, in a shell, returns a prompt)? Regards, Tor * Yep, it's a clunky work-around for resetting the guest's clock after VirtualBox startvm'ing a savestate'd guest (perhaps there is a better way? :-})

Of course it's nice to have a standard on the browsers and they, almost, always speak the same language. But there will always be an umbilical cord with C. Even the almighty browser need an OS to run on top of it.

It would never happen. Java isn't all that great and even if Sun painted it gold, it would never take off. There is a reason why the web is dominated by scripting languages these days. And the reason isn't why sun didn't pushed for standardization, or anythin like that. Is because java sucks. > > But now, it is a totally new game.

Well, if you take just the downloads of the tor browser alone, there are a lot of people using noscript. You're speaking bullshit. Things are turning in the oposite direction.

A great deal in which javascript is used is to make cosmetic things pop in your browser that you really doesn't need for getting what you need: information.

The problem with javascript, that we are pointing and you're not listening, is that you don't control what is run. If I download a binary application, even if it's not ideal, I can inspect what it's doing with debuggers, network capture, etc. It's not the best thing, but you can, if you want to. With JS when I go to a site, they starting pulling third parties scripts, that pull others, and others. And it's a nightmare to see what's happening. > > Or, just make application to HTML/JS and that run everywhere in > sandbox without hassle. Portability matters. That's the job of the browser, and things are headed that way. But until we get there, I'll keep using noscript.

The **FIRST** thing one should do when sitting down at a new browser is install NoScript [which is the most important reason TO use Firefox] and CookieMonster, so you can SEE what JS code is running and have the option to block individual sites. I interpreted the comment to which you are referring as 'controlling' what JS is running, so YOU have the choice as to whether to allow tracking code (e.g. googleanalytics) or block. As you state, it is *not* possible to use anything more than a basic website without JS, however it *is* realistic and reasonable to *limit* the cross-site JS code that is only there for the use of other third parties.

Hi Stuart, sorry for replying late - I was off for a long weekend. To answer your question - no, there have been no changes at all. It is the network in my home office so I know for shure. Last night I reinstalled the laptop from the latest snapshots (#394) and to rule out some kind of 'hickup' of the cable-modem, the router or the switches I power-cycled every instance. Even though I didn't see the error message originally reported I still was not able to get the source-tree by cvs: After a few seconds the system looses its network, entirely. A non-technical description of the impression I got is "the system can't take the load by the sheer number of files received". (Of course I know this is not what a bug report should sound like... ;-) ) Calling 'netstat' or 'route' shows ... nothing! Both report the lack of any routes. This only happens with cvs, not with 'pkg_add'! The system won't reattach to the network by '/etc/netstart', I have to reboot to get the routes back up. As others have reported issues with dhclient recently a first 'shot in the dark' would be that this is where a suspect is living... I am not shure what to report exactly tonight as I am off from home in a boring hotel room. E.g. if the routes are lost again: What should I report? Any hints? Thank you! STEFAN
