What? No. First: Apparently the ss developer(s) decided to finally fix the output in some recent version (it was changed to behave sanely somewhere between iproute2-ss161212 and iproute2-ss180402). However, if you're stuck with an olde

More of a reason for disliking Electron apps. Because it's a whole extra web browser, using a lot of resources (much more than a native app would). And Chromely doesn't address that concern.

I'm all for the new tools (and actually prefer ip over ifconfig). However, they really screwed up with ss: the output is really unusable/unreadable. This really only becomes obvious when you pass the -p flag, where the program i

So what would you expect GPG to do when invoked to operate on a pipe (rather than a file¹)? Buffer (possibly) gigabytes of decrypted data in memory, just to be able to discard it once DECRYPTION_FAILED is detected? ¹: where GPG does the rig

It's too bad sshd never got support for U2F. Seems like the discussions just petered out. Maybe the introduction of FIDO2 will spark some interest in that again? https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2319 Yes, s

Yes. See "Useless use of cat" (or "UUOC"). If you prefer to have the command arguments at the end of the line (so it's easier to amend), you can do e.g: < file.txt grep pattern instead of grep pattern

What? Oracle definitely did move a finger. Maybe not directly (but through a third party). The quote you posted was clearly sent to Apple by lawyers acting on Oracle's behalf, which was then forwarded to the developer by Apple.

Unfortunately, ProcExp started breaking with Windows 10 (columns regularly got into a broken state, requiring reset of the registry settings), plus they ruined the color scheme for the tray icons, so I switched to Process Hacker instead.

It's actually not a good idea to name the files after the codec, and there's good (technical) reasons for that. A container contains more than just a single video stream. They can also contain audio streams and subtitles, with mul

It's fairly pointless to compare the library to CLI libraries for other languages. It's much more meaningful to pick a language that fits the main purpose of the program, and not depending on what CLI libraries are available. Gene
