I read some of the comments on the pull request and the commits. This is the worst part of Github, these kinds of public massive flame wars, complete with animated gifs. I think Github should have moderation features for situations like thi

We use Gitolite ( http://gitolite.com/gitolite/index.html ). It can be configured to block (force) pushes for repositories, branches or persons, among other things.

I upvoted you, you make a good point.

It irks me that many people are calling this a backdoor. It's not. It's a vulnerability. You have to exploit it to get in.

Your private key should be encrypted with a strong password. If you follow that best practice, you can stop worrying about your laptop being stolen, and start worrying about five dollar wrenches. ( http://xkcd.com/538/ )

I think you're being silly. And I don't think that's what downvotes are for (not that I have a say in the matter, because I don't have the button). Explaining why the comic is relevant would be like explaining the joke i

Just a note, you don't have to mathematically solve a game in order to win it.

It's indeed a large amount of traffic. But it's not scary. None of it will get through if your SSH software is up to date, you have it configured properly, and user accounts are managed sanely. The attacks to be scared of are thos

Where do I find out more about this? A quick web search didn't yield anything.

I see claims like this regularly, but never any data to support it. Do you have anything to back it up?

Maybe I understand your sentiment - are you one of those children who thinks his/her toy hammer can build ocean liners? :wink:

The ssh_config HashKnownHosts option hashes the contents of the known_hosts file, making it intractable to get a list of hosts. But of course your shell history will still provide it.

Some tools adjust their output based on it going to a terminal or not. Try 'ls' versus 'ls | cat'.

I feel postscripts like that are not appropriate in general. I think it's the "should" that grates me most. It sounds arrogant to me. I know they do it to get a following. But please just let your content do the talking. And then give your

I guess people can be very different in this respect. I really need the full number (or at least all of the numbers in the same unit) to be displayed. I don't find the 'human' format helpful at all when looking at ls output.
