git branch -[dD] does not delete reflog entries for commits made to the branch. A branch may have its own, separate reflog which would be deleted, but that is only a convenience feature as the man page you linked to documents WRT the -l opt

Git's repository structure, plus the built-in reflog prevents committed data being lost by any command, unless it explicitly erases the repository or reflog.

Against what, Voyager 1? :) They've got a live memory image, tracking down a possibly bad bit is probably not trivial. Given the era the code was written there could be self-modifying code in there too.

Maybe the trick is to think outside the mass consumer box. My small town (pop 30,000) has a electronics parts store (part of a regional chain of 5 in Tennessee) that seems to do well catering to contracters in electronic-related fields (sec

That's nice. However, the work required to stay on top of Facebook's never-ending privacy snafu has become far greater than the small aggregation/old friend contact benefit. I'm out.

The " http:// has been replaced by an icon. I suspect it's supposed to be a small planet earth icon, but the color choice makes it look like the moon, and the continent placement makes it look like a squinty smiley face when viewed from a

I've already been bitten from this change a half-dozen times. Every time I want to share with someone an url I have open in chromium now, I have to manually type " http:// . Hopefully they will eventually fix it so copying from the location

Ikiwiki uses markdown in plain text files, and can be configured to lock all pages and only allow specific users to edit specific pages (configuration for that would look like locked_pages => "* and !user(foo) and !user(bar) and !admin(

zsh's built in zftp support, which can be loaded and run without a working ld.so, has also saved me at least once.

My favorite recovery (though it was not fun at the time) involved a headless machine that wasn't booting, and all I had available that would boot on the machine was a floppy disk that ran a rescue shell. I modified the floppy to start linux

Hmm, I have not encountered a suid login. Since login runs passwd, and passwd uses pam, and pam is heavily based on demand-loaded libraries, that would be rather hard and big. Static shell? Sure, sash. Also helpful when ldso or libc is bust

With svn, a clever attacker can make changes to past commits in the repository, so you will not see new commits to review, your own copy of the code will not contain the changes, but when a fresh copy is checked out by eg, a build server fo

You're only forced to use 64 bit userspace on slicehost if debootstrapping a 32 bit chroot and replacing the root filesystem with it live is too scary. :) The real nice thing about linode is they allow running your own custom linux kernel.

One way to look at this is that the original design of HTML 1.1 and its presentation in early web browsers gave users what they really wanted. Text, one color, that goes all the way across the screen, is readable on any screen, and scrolls

Personally, I have optimised fan noise right out of all computers, aside from those in server closets, for years.

But clicking a Flattr button does not cost anything, it only distributes money you've already paid. I wonder what happens to your monthly payment if you don't click anything that month..

The real power of masses of laws that are regularly broken is selective enforcement. When you add lack of privacy to the picture, it can look downright dystopian.

Skeptical of the premise that temperature and weather is not worth the bother to learn. We learn this stuff so we may effectively communicate with others. Someone who was reliant on this app to tell them to wear a sweater would not be able

The underscore bug sounds minor, but is not. The problem with this bug is you can start with something that works just as you would expect, like "HTTP_PROXY is a CGI variable". Now you go back and, edit the sentence: "HTTP_PROXY and REQUEST

Correction: Text::MarkDown differs in compatability in that it _seems_ to fix the internal underline issue. Although possibly not completly.

If Gruber had released markdown and explicitly walked away from it, then yes, we would only be justified in appreciating his gift. (And I think anyone seriously using markdown has to conclude he did essentially release and walk away from th

Why is there an arbitrary requirement in the middle of it about the format of tags used in a version control system? Symbol versioning is a better approach, on systems that support it.

It's easier to change chromium to use a search engine other than google than it is to change firefox. I don't see any difference in handling of tracking cookies between chromium and firefox. Both offer very limited cookie handling really.
