I doesn't forward by default, but for the off-chance that some wildcard rules in your .ssh/config do enable it, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Awesome! Just remember to use `ssh -a` (disabled SSH agent forwarding) when talking to untrusted systems. Edit to add: by default, ssh doesn't forward the SSH agent, but that can be changed by config. Doesn't hurt to add the -a.

How do I find out if an executable was built with rust? (Assuming it's not my code...)

If I remember correctly, rust compiles to static binaries by default, meaning they include a copy of all used parts of both libraries and standard library in the executable. Does that mean that any Rust program compiled with any affected ve

A problem I have recently observed a few times: people add DNS records to the wrong zone. For example, they add an a.b record to the example.com zone, but b.example.com is its own zone. Bind doesn't complain about the extra records, bu

Artificial valves last roughly 10 years, typically. Sometimes more. You have to take antibiotics at the slightest sign of any infection, to avoid infectious settlement of the valve. A family member got a "tissue engineered" valve

Adding the permissions to the `ssh-add` call is probably easiest for the authors of ssh-add, but seems to me the wrong user interface for me. Putting such information in a config file (or maybe attaching them to the key somehow, by default

I love the idea, but wouldn't use it for bigger pages, because it means you cannot link to individual sections within one page, because then :target doesn't apply to the top-level <section> anymore, right?
