Perl 5 is in my humble opinion a really convenient to have installed. I use it all the time as a replacement for those shell scripts that become too big or too cumbersome, or to remove out of the equation the quirkiness of different impleme

yeah, I also give out ULAs to my clients in VPNs (both OpenVPN and WireGuard), but it's mostly for local, in LAN traffic. I still haven't figured out how to convince Windows to actually prefer ULAs to IPv4 like I can do on Linux.

The only real downside of using MSVC is the mind boggling amount of storage it hogs with libraries you'll never ever use not even once if your goal is to just build simple C++ programs. MinGW might be the only viable approach if you ar

NAT66 is indeed possible, and it actually happened to me to use it, but it's really ugly and clunky to use. This is mostly because you are forced to use ULAs, which almost every IP stack by default rightfully considers as private addr

Install llvm. Clang can use all of MSVC headers without breaking compatibility with its ABI, like MinGW does (you can't mix up DLLs built with the MSVC ABI and the MinGW one)

The main issue I have with swapping Perl with Raku is that a major strength of Perl is its ubiquitousness. Except on Windows, it's almost certainly installed on 90% of the systems I have ever used. Meanwhile, rakudo is not even in the

I personally never use search tools; at least, not with files I've created myself. IMHO organising correctly your files using aptly named directories and sticking to that is much more effective than dumping stuff around the filesystem

Yes, after a while your body gets addicted to caffeine and adjusts to the amount you are ingesting, so you need to increase how much you're taking in order to keep feeling the high you expect from coffee. If you suddenly stopped assumi

I hope they're going to figure out AArch64 support for the Raspberry Pi soon, especially since they have launched the models with larger amounts of RAM. Having a true AArch64 Raspberry Pi would be really nice.
