A lot more work. Like a lot of people, I don't read some kind of static text to an audience; even with the same slides I give a different talk every time. The only way to put together a page like this one would be to simply transcribe t

I'm amazed that telnet still lives after all these years. I wonder if anybody has audited telnetd implementations on other systems for the same problem?

That's what I came here to say as well. The failure to provide an SSL version of AdSense is one of the biggest impediments to the implementation of SSL-only sites on the net currently. Until they fix that, they are not entirely serious ab

I assume that somebody knows what "npm" is? I have no clue and the linked page doesn't tell me. OTOH it's happy to tell me to feed curl output straight into a root shell, an idea that makes me just a wee bit nervous.
