pkgsrc is great and I prefer it to Homebrew on Mac OS X, but it only updates quarterly. :(

For development containers, systemd-nspawn has had support for btrfs snapshots since 2014 or 2015. Simple to get going if you're on a Linux box with systemd, no other daemons or tools required.

You only live once. Go to Oxford. It's not like you're going to quit your job and move to an island in the Indian Ocean.

They were also discouraged from mentioning Twitter by name in headlines and summaries, and instead asked to refer to social media in a broader context. Hah!

I saw an answer to this type of question like: why bother requesting something (even plaintext) over the wire if you can't vouch that it's the content you wanted, from the person you expected.

1.9.x was the development (aka "mainline") branch and 1.8.x was "stable". Odd-numbered releases directly become the next stable. See the graphic here: https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-10-1-11-relea

The address bar on Firefox for Android also exhibits bizarre behavior. Type in github and then go to the end and try to add a username after the slash. Horrible!

I prefer pass, which uses GPG and regular bash scripts to store passwords. You can sync the directory of encrypted passwords via git too. No fancy stuff. https://www.passwordstore.org/

Maybe in 150 years they'll put Edward Snowden — or a similar activist — on a bill. It tends to take people a century or two to recognize the value of contributions made by these type of people.

When the law (no. 78/2015) is applied, it will be binding on all citizens, expatriates and visitors too. Wow.

Article mentions that 77 million "households" either have no taxable income or "half get enough tax breaks to erase their tax liability." Just for reference, there are also a handful of people who qualify for the Foreign

Yes, indeed, but Mac OS X users who use Homebrew are a subset of all Mac OS X users. The problem is in the default software. Apple's update model isn't good for this type of software, so the fact that it is possible for a user to

It looks like CopperheadOS has managed to upstream quite a number of mitigations! Bravo to them. This makes them the sort of OpenBSD research OS of the Android world, and everyone benefits from their work. https://copperhead.co&#

Do you ever have to vim somewhere where there is no nvim? Like on a server, etc? I worry about getting used to nvim features or behaviors that might not be compatible with vim (are there any?) and being super bummed on a server some day!

You could use the official client with the --standalone flag — that's actually what nginx users have to do right now, as there's no automagic vhost configuration for nginx with the official client yet. The client spins up an HTTP

I appreciate Tedu's musings on technical issues, and how he freely acknowledges when there's a problem on their side. I wonder how Chrome's performance is on OpenBSD?

There are two sides to every coin. I think both Techcrunch and your assessments are valid. It would not be hard to paint the USA as a totalitarian state run by organized crime and where half of the people live under some acceptable standard
