A lot has changed in the last decade, particularly with TLP and now suspend / hibernate being set up by default on most distributions. You might give it a try again.

I have run into issues using KaTeX and some other rendering libraries without the <meta charset="UTF-8"/> tag. There are likely other problems that could occur without it.

For someone planning on learning C in the next couple of months (through K&R), do you have any advice on where to learn best modern practices afterwards?

dd I really don't mind, because it makes me think and double-check that I'm flashing the right device every time. find is annoying, though. I'd encourage you to check out fd. https://github.com/sharkdp/fd

Out of curiosity, do you know the functional difference between a swap file and a swap partition? A swap file seems like quite a bit more added complexity with very few benefits.

I'm surprised to hear this. Hibernation has worked perfectly since installation on all of my Linux computers for the last ~2 years.

Lack of generics and clumsy error handling would be my guess.

I'll give it a try, but I'm by no means an expert in cryptography. Proof-of-work works (very broadly) by computers solving harder and harder math problems to create value. Eventually, these get so hard that solving one requires ei

It backs up to Library Genesis. And while the paper collection software isn't FOSS, it's really the idea behind article sourcing that's important.

What is the reason the Raspberry Pi is not open at a lower level? Is it because the Raspberry Pi foundation is shipping a premade chip package, or do they run their own software and have their own reasons for keeping it closed? Also, what

You may enjoy working with Nim. Its main drawback is the small number of native libraries available for it, but wrapping and using existing libraries from other languages is a walk in the park. https://nim-lang.org/

A lot of these can be easily done in Bash, too! 1. `mkcdir () { mkdir -- "$1" && cd -- "$1"; }` 2a. `bind '"\e[A":history-search-backward'; bind '"\e[B":history-search-forward&#

What's the history behind allowing external images in emails? Was it a size limitation? HTML emails already use only a subset of HTML, so I don't understand why it wasn't trimmed down more to only allow images as data URLs or

No, it's a nearly complete open-source reimplementation of the full operating system and kernel. I don't know where you're getting the idea that it's a patch set - you can take a look at the roadmap and design docs here

Right, but the idea and comment I'm addressing is "If you don't like it, create a fork". This "do it yourself" mantra doesn't apply to Signal, and they have a history of rejecting community work. It's

That then means you can't communicate with others running the normal Signal client. Signal is not a federated protocol.

I feel like this is somewhat disingenuous. IME keylogging is a known, serious, and frequently exploited issue that affects a substantial portion of Signal users. Signal's "Incognito Keyboard" setting didn't mention tha
