Just discovered GraphicsMagick.

I didnt know this existed. I've used ImageMagick and alot of utilities Ive seen that have a backend tend to call ImagickMagick. Though apparently this is a faster program and has a stable consistent API and update system. (RE: http://www.graphicsmagick.org/FAQ.html#how-does-graphicsmagick-differ-from-imagemagick)

I loaded it up and it looks and feels similar to ImageMagick.
Havent tested it thoroughly, so I cant say much (other than IM gracefully tells me it cant read a DICOM/Kodak RVG (Encapped DICOM) image and believes it's a JPEG), while GM segfaults on it

me@home:~/Pictures$ display R1.rvg
display-im6.q16: Unsupported JPEG process: SOF type 0xc3 `/tmp/magick-7452EBP-VrhRXeWJ' @ error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/322.
me@home:~/Pictures$ gm display R1.rvg
gm display: abort due to signal 11 (SIGSEGV) "Segmentation Fault"...Aborted (core dumped)
me@home:~/Pictures$


However, that's a probably an oddity use case. For general uses does anyone who does more image oriented tasks have a deeper take on this? Also any field exerience setting this as an update-alternatives replacement or alias (for drop in replacement that default to IM noscripts that do large scale image conversion)

Python Library for scraping Popular Search Engines

Working on a python package/library (honestly haven't understood the difference despite vigorous explaining from experienced devs) that combines the power of web scraping to be able to provide easy API's for python developers to use for searching within their code and command lines

Current supported engines include:

\- Google

\- Bing

\- DuckDuckGo

\- Yahoo

As always pull requests and suggestions are always welcome. I'm looking to learn from every possible situation and boost my skills. Hope this library/package helps! :)

LeapPad 3

Not sure where else to post this, because I think it might be linux related..ish. Suggestions on where are welcome.

Anyway, I recently found my old LeapPad 3 and wanna screw around with it. Saw videos of DOOM running on an ultra but there doesn’t seem to be that much development for the 3. Is this the case? Where is some content I can try for the 3?

Bit of a long shot, but.. If I’m right on development not existing for this thing, where can I get started on making my own apps for it, if possible?

Library makers are getting sick of maintaining their software for ungrateful and demanding users. Here's an idea to turn that around.

Ok so I dont really know if it's a trend but I've been hearing it anecdotally and in the nerd media more and more - people grow tired of being maintainers, they get burnt out by users demanding help and changes.

What if we started a service that shields these unicorns from the slavering masses? We create a service takes the bug lists and feature requests away from the developer and tracks not only the users who want a feature or a bugfix, but also how much those users have contributed themselves in either code, or help, or money in the form of patreon or other sponsorship / patronage services.

Imagine being part of a small group of developers of a great, powerful and ubiquitous library and having a bug wrangler that sent you a polite email each day at 11am with any worthy requests. Never having to see the users who complain because they haven't taken the time to read the docs and certainly won't contribute to code or documentation, or even helping other users.

I don't yet have a way in my head to tie all of these things together and I'm sure it would end in a world of complaints, disputes and unhappy people but I feel the need to think about how to protect Free Software and keep the dream alive.

Where are the syscall functions such as fork(2), execve(2), open(2), pipe(2), mmap(2), read(2), poll(2), close(2), dup2(2) or sigaction(2) stored?

I assume in the vmlinuz image within the boot directory, and that their memory addresses are loaded into RAM at system boot. I couldn't find anything about their location anywhere online though... On some sites people claimed them to be part of glibc, but that's obviously wrong as glibc is just a wrapper around them (like WinApi). So... where are they?

Problem running Kali Linux from USB



Hi!
I'm having trouble running Kali linux from my USB.
I have an Asus UX430U with Windows 10 and Ubuntu on 2 partitions and a 16GB USB. I need Kali for an ethical hacking course. I got recommended to install it on a USB but it just won't boot from it.

I follow this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Y9LV5Plyw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Y9LV5Plyw)

and all seem to work smooth until i 4:04 where he selects his USB; I can only choose my ubuntu partition.

I have tried many different methods before this video and have used 'Rufus 3.6' to create the bootable USB. The files in the USB looks fine, can it be ruined from too many tries with rufus?

Any ideas?
