When I want to give things, I use ssh to put it in the static part of my website in a directory with a random name, then I send the url by mail. My sftp client is already configured with ssh keys. When the things I have to send is a collect

Perl of course, even if the adjective "proper" seems weird for Perl ;-) As a rule of thumb, if a script starts to need arrays or to handle spaces in filename, I migrate it to Perl. Error handling is also easier and more natural in

Configure your box as an onion output node. Your own traffic will be masked by the traffic of all others. This may not be very safe legally. Can we have privacy and legal safety at the same time ?

Creators do not like to follow rules. Avoidance of a bunch of nitpicks is probably the only way to motivate them. IMHO, it is not a war, just a childish fight that is mostly positive.

I read often WSJ articles for free on internet. This gives me a good opinion of their articles. When I travel in train or plane, I often buy a physical newspaper. I may favour WSJ because of this good opinion. IMHO, blocking "free&quot

At my office, there is a proxy to access internet. When a site is blocked by blue coat filter, I launch putty to open a tunnel to my webserver and I launch firefox portable using my tunnel as a proxy. I used to do it using chrome, but the e

Writing a shell, like writing a compiler are very good exercises. Writing a compiler gives a feeling of power, but I think writing a shell teaches humility.

Creative thinking occurs at a global scope and also at the detail level. I would better correlate creative thinking with dissatisfaction. IMHO a creative thinker wants to improve things or to explore new ways. A creative thinker has difficu

The airport of Amsterdam ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Airport_Schiphol ) is often used in test data because of its negative elevation. It is so well known that I can hardly believe that a certified aircraft

IMHO, US shall be governed by law. This is fundamental of our values. NSA misbehavior shall be severely sanctioned. If we relinquish these values, what distinguish us from the dictatorships we fight.

You have succeeded in your creation and are suffering because maintaining a product does not require the same set of skills. Maybe you should designate another leader for that. IMHO, creative mindset is not good for maintenance because you

Disabling services is good, but beware that they may be re-enabled during a software update. Once a service is disabled, you have to monitor that is remains so.

Trying to solve windows specific issues using windows solutions has a tendency to not work very well. Once you get accustomed, administration of a linux park is far easier. Try to avoid dependencies from these piles of crap.

I do not know how people can entertain this myth that linux support is as expensive as windows. The stability of linux applications is incredible compared with the brutal changes of windows (xp -> vista/7 -> 8 -> 10). Remote a
