| jrwren | https://drewdevault.com/2020/09/25/A-story-of-two-libcs.html the real reason i want a popos(ubuntu) distro built on non-glibc. | 14:49 |
|---|---|---|
| jrwren | glibc is a mess of a codebase. | 14:49 |
| cmaloney | The initial assertion (isalnum shouldn't segfault) is correct | 14:58 |
| cmaloney | however, I think his conclusion that musl is somehow better because of a more naive implementation makes me think they are setting themselves up for much nastier bugs | 14:59 |
| cmaloney | but yeah, I would never have been able to debug that mess | 14:59 |
| cmaloney | Everything is there for a reason | 15:01 |
| cmaloney | even if that reason isn't a particularly good one | 15:01 |
| jrwren | I didn't read that conclusion | 15:02 |
| cmaloney | Note also that Drew is the project lead for Source hut, which is the most impenetrable source code hosting site I have ever seen | 15:03 |
| cmaloney | so I take his opinions on interfaces and oversimplifications with that in mind. :) | 15:03 |
| cmaloney | What conclusion did you come to? | 15:03 |
| cmaloney | perhaps I read into it with that preconceived notion | 15:05 |
| jrwren | awesome... we use Ubuntu Pro at work... because FIPS. | 15:18 |
| jrwren | I'm a paying customer! WHOO HOO!!! | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | heh | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | FIPS == ? | 15:19 |
| jrwren | federal information protection system or something like that. | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | https://ubuntu.com/security/certifications/docs/fips | 15:19 |
| jrwren | basically, certified software so that the NSA can break the encryption. | 15:19 |
| jrwren | yes, that. | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | Nice | 15:19 |
| jrwren | it's a huge deal in parts of the industry. | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | yeah, i can see that | 15:20 |
| jrwren | oh wow... so we are becoming Advantage customers because that is WAY cheaper than using Ubuntu Pro FIPS ec2 imaages, lol. | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | That would figure | 15:20 |
| jrwren | if you want to sell to government, you do FIPS, FedRAMP and Soc2 | 15:20 |
| jrwren | oh, and IL5 | 15:26 |
