dhbx9on Curl doesn’t spew binary anymore

I have to agree. curling binary to shell is awkward, but nothing that can't be fixed with a `reset`.

Changing behavior of something that is as popular as curl to protect edge cases is strange, to say the least.

dhbx9on New Evidence That All Stars Are Born in Pairs

Yes! God damnit brain.

dhbx9on SSH Check – public SSH server testing tool

Is there a similar tool that tests HTTPS enabled web servers on their choice of ciphers etc?

The website in itself does not give me an understanding of whatever the hell they're doing. I'm a computer engineering undergrad and I've done FPGA's before. I don't see what's "code in go and deploy FPGA's to the cloud". I think that putting some code and other actual use cases to the website would be nice.

Looking at some of the examples it seems to me that you'd still need to know hardware programming, memory etc. Now my comment seems very snarky, but I still think that it's a huge achievement to have gotten this far with this and I wish them luck! I just don't get the target user base.

Do you mean 1440p? If not, what screen do you use?

> hello GNU utilities like sed

Most of the GNU utilities are available from Homebrew (dupes repo iirc) and they work seamlessly since it is prefixed with a g-. However force linking is allowed too so your workflow is rarely affected.

I find it strange that you like apt because IMO it's not as nice as other full fledged package manages (disclaimer: I'm a big portage fanboy).

I'd classify it as a deadly sin - because I can't see the content.

dhbx9on What makes us Red Hat

IMO the distro that actually made me realize that after some good configuring Linux can just work is Gentoo. After Portage no package manager was ever good enough for me.

dhbx9on From ROS prototype to production on Ubuntu Core

I use ROS heavily and also a core contributor but I personally I do not like using Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi's for it. However this is the first time I'm hearing of Ubuntu Core so maybe I'll give it a go. My preferred method is Gentoo Linux with an external build bot that updates the images etc.

dhbx9on Milk that lasts for months

Unfortunately true for Singapore as well even though it's not remote. Alcohol tax means a 12oz can goes for around 5 bucks as well.
