I wouldn’t mind dongles if their cable wasn’t so flimsy, especially when the other cables are strong.

What most people forget is that software is meant to be used as part of the system. The rush to adopt packaging tools like npm and cargo prevent standardization of system tools. On debian, installing tools should be as simple as ‘apt instal

I don’t mind ~/.* for config, especially when the config is just one or two files. What I don’t like is programs like go and cargo treating my $HOME as a dumping ground for every file they want to download and/or cache.

Maybe the joke has gotten too far, but the point that most people have been trying to say is that the issue that the OP is trying to solve has been solved for years. It's called a reverse proxy. Doing the configuration automatically li

I do agree with you both, but we need a wider view of what documentation means. I'm spending time this days reading the OpenBSD code and while the latter is really well written, I spent even more time reading the mailing list archives,

The names are the kind of servers that listen on those ports (by default) like ssh, telnet, http, and smtp. They are not subdomains or for URI parsing.

There’s a flag for toggling hook when committing. And you can rebase later to clean up the history.

If you want to talk about possible exploiting being done. Then Android is out (userland is crippled) and I guess yocto as well (same issue). Not that they can’t be attacked, but because mostly what is there is static. As it’s a privilege es

I’m still very into tech, just not into tech products from the big companies. I use OpenBSD as a daily driver and I like reading its code when I want to understand how something work. This has led a renewal to my interest in Electronics, di

I don’t know where the fear of breaking changes in deps comes from, but most good projects tries to keep their API stable. Even with fast-evolving platforms like Android and iOS sdk.

There’s also the “prepaid” alternative. Especially if you’re skittish about budgets. You topup you account for $10, and when you overflow (maybe by setting an alert to around $8), you can add an extra 5$ to make it to the end without interr

I wouldn’t say it’s a general definition, but the consensus (according to my opinion) is that intelligence is being able to define problems (not just experience them), discern the root cause, and then solve that. Where it fails is generally

I get your point and maybe my tone was snarky (not a native speaker). But why would you want an exact reproduction on the other side? The diff format is human-readable for a reason, so slight errors can be fixed quite easily (if they do hap

Maybe, but for some of us, the peace of mind comes from stability and minimal friction with our tools. Whenever I touch my config is because I get frustrated with one operation and tries to see if it can be done faster. If you use your comp
