I'm not aware of the technical how, but the Arch infrastructure seems to measure this successfully; a hook into this data might be a great way for the two to interoperate (so that Cloudflare always serves the freshest cache/mirror

The difficulty is if the mirror itself is behind, Cloudflare's cache for that specific endpoint will be correct (functional, working) but out of date compared to another mirror. Example: around the end of June this year the mirrors.ker

This is my issue with it as well - it's basically their geo-sniffing magic routing you towards the closest officially listed mirrors for that country (glorified proxy); it makes the mistake of presuming that all those mirrors listed in

To the non-rclone users, this refers to one of the targets of rclone; the crypt backend wraps the real backend by chaining them together, e.g. localdata <=> crypt <=> providerstorage (basically like a bi-directional filter). ht

When you look at the macro trend, platinum has trended gold since the 80s... until around 2014 where it started going the other direction. https://www.macrotrends.net/2541/platinum-prices-vs-gold-pri...

Gold is very dense. $1M in gold is 25x 20-coin tubes of 1oz coins @$2000 per coin, which is probably around an 8" square surface area 6" tall. Bottom of pretty much any standing safe you can buy (typical gun safe, e.g.). Most cons

In all the cloud provider DNS services I've used you can add a zone for anything with no verification of ownership. The root cause flaw is the domain owner allowing their registrar data to go stale and let NS point at a shared service

As I replied to your other comment, you cannot just replace [[ with [ and get the same behaviour. If you use the actual bash builtin [[ which we're discussing, it works as expected. Also, please use == when comparing, = is an assignmen

by gravitas 6y ago
[ is an external program called "test" and [[ is a bash builtin, they have many different behaviours beyond just trying to use one to prove the other wrong on a random internet comment.

While the other reply to you is correct, the actual answer to your question is No -- bash interprets leading 0s (zeros) in the C sense, it indicates octal not decimal. So this very small bash will fail for you: X="08" if

I would say this is a simpler service overall and not an even competitor, it appears to be using HTML elements as keys and creating entries based on that but stops there. I would not consider this on par with Feed43 based on the few samples
