These are pretty neat, but weirdly uninformed on some things . If you're using GNU tar the alias should just be "tar -xvf" since it can autodetect compression (though I'm not sure if that's suffix-based or file type

Cinnamon supports them out of the box as well, it's System Settings -> Preferences -> Hot Corners. I had to run the Brightside daemon to get it working on MATE, but I don't know if that's true anymore.

I think "unemployed" and "hire an attorney" are not 100% mutually exclusive, but if he's not asking for much and doesn't have much money it's a probalby not a good option. As for handsome royalties, they&#

It's interesting that the release doesn't address the seasonality of the effect unless it falls under the possible initiation handwave. Is there some other temperature dependent effect on such flows?

It's really nice to see that the author includes detailed instructions for installing without root. It's pretty much how you'd expect it, but a lot of software these days assumes you'll give some random library root acce

I wouldn't be surprised if they gained a bit of respect. If I recall correctly they did everything right - they had an apparently impossible result, they spent a lot of time trying to disprove it, and when they announced they made it c

Rejoice, if you look at the repository you'll see that's exactly what they're doing - replacing the runtime/C underpinnings and keeping the elisp.

As previously discussed it's allowed by POSIX and supported by major distributions and Unixen. The systemd team's assertion that it's not is based on a couple of programs, mainly one Debian utility. Basically they don't

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but putting the OTR plugin in the middle of a list of pre-existing software makes it look like they used one. There wasn't one and they had to write a new one for InstantBird wrapping libotr

The big win for me is that it cuts down log noise from ssh brute force attempts. Used with pf/netfilter you get even less. I'm not sure of getting FreeBSD nightly security reports that freeze a mail client for a few seconds as t
