I wasn't aware musl implemented libres. I don't have a problem with libres doing TCP. Qmail's issue was a hardcoded buffer size so this patch to musl wouldn't have helped.

Email servers cannot use gethostbyname anyway; they never would have been affected by this issue.

Many western countries use a lottery to choose juries. If the winners refuse, they'll have a chance to explain themselves, and then they'll be judged by those who didn't refuse. Exactly what happens next depends.

Why would you be so bothered to just let them? Would you feel embarrassed that "leftists" are nicer? That can be a motivation too! I know some people just show up so they can have someone to talk to for a few hours on a Saturday.

HDR10 is 10-bits per component and there are plenty of 16-bit images that aren't HDR, for example: http://i.imgur.com/Wm2kSxd.png -- the main thing about using HDR is to increase the range of values, i.e. what the bigg

I don't think you should encourage people (including your kids) to do that: If someone doesn't feel like they should have a relationship with someone, they shouldn't have to. I also think you should consider the context a lit

I don’t know wezterm but in xterm you can make a button toggle the second screen, and this can be nice for switching between the manual page you were just looking at and the line you are typing into. I also prefer this to having a fucked up
