[14:49] 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] glibc is a mess of a codebase. [14:58] The initial assertion (isalnum shouldn't segfault) is correct [14:59] 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] but yeah, I would never have been able to debug that mess [15:01] Everything is there for a reason [15:01] even if that reason isn't a particularly good one [15:02] I didn't read that conclusion [15:03] 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] so I take his opinions on interfaces and oversimplifications with that in mind. :) [15:03] What conclusion did you come to? [15:05] perhaps I read into it with that preconceived notion [15:18] awesome... we use Ubuntu Pro at work... because FIPS. [15:18] I'm a paying customer! WHOO HOO!!! [15:18] heh [15:19] FIPS == ? [15:19] federal information protection system or something like that. [15:19] https://ubuntu.com/security/certifications/docs/fips [15:19] basically, certified software so that the NSA can break the encryption. [15:19] yes, that. [15:19] Nice [15:19] it's a huge deal in parts of the industry. [15:20] yeah, i can see that [15:20] oh wow... so we are becoming Advantage customers because that is WAY cheaper than using Ubuntu Pro FIPS ec2 imaages, lol. [15:20] That would figure [15:20] if you want to sell to government, you do FIPS, FedRAMP and Soc2 [15:26] oh, and IL5
