   The letsencryptclient (now renamed to certbot) runs `sudo apt-get install ...` even when running `--help`. I have a pull request that aims to fix that particular surprise: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull&#x

    With replaceState you can change the URL without adding an entry to the back button list. So you can have a back button that takes you back to HN and a bookmark reference.

    Google already keeps copies of copyrighted web pages for its Internet search engine. This is the same thing, but for books, isn't it?

    Note that this is blog post is not from "BitBucket" but "GitBucket", it took my brain longer than it should have to realise this.

    At that point, you might as well send people invites over email to switch to using a completely different messaging system that is more secure.

    DRM isn't effective at stopping the data from getting out into torrents, but it is effective at other things, one of which is mentioned by the article: it makes researching copying and bypassing copy restrictions illegal. There are few

    I agree that consistency is critical. It was always confusing that "kilo" meant 1000 everwhere else but for some reason it meant 1024 when it came to storage sizes (but not bandwidth speeds). To eliminate ambiguity in one fell swo
