Perl isn't dead. Perl is the only stable actively developed language. Code written in 2003 runs today and perl code written today runs on a perl interpreter from 2003. Because of this perl is by far the best language to do system admin

We must have lived on different internets. I have much lived experience of finding cool domains, looking up their email, and talking to them all the way up to GDPR coming into effect. "whois privacy" options at registrars were sta

It is not your smartphone. The user computer is yours but the phone is owned by the telcom. You do not have a license to operate it. The telco does. They are the owners of your smart phone. Smart phones are terrible computing devices. They

Re: "own" people I am referring to the situation in the USA as that is the topic of the post. I thought that would be clear. But more generally I'm referring to signatories of the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997 like the

A mistake by the author. I tried 3 feed readers, including one I wrote myself. None of them were following links. They just don't support cookies. There is more to the web than just browsers.

When a language changes significantly faster than release cycles (ie, rust being a different compiler every 3 months) it means that distros cannot self-host if they use rust code in their software. ie, with Debian's Apt now having rust

The full list of CAs with root certs in corporate browsers is fairly short. That's all that matters. If your CA isn't in $browser/$os cert root store then it's not going to be useful. $ ls -lathr /etc/ssl

I use cash because it's more convenient, faster, and I can use it anywhere rather than just in transactions from corporation to corporation. And I can use it any time rather than just when all telecommunications are working perfectly.

They're deprecating it and removing it. What is required is deprecating it and leaving it in (with env flag to enable) till it actually breaks rather than obeying in advance.
