ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Git 3.0 will use main as the default branch
that's a decision of platform team. no one will tell me. but if my script breaks they will.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Git 3.0 will use main as the default branch
no. I just had flashbacks on how many scripts I had to change and build edge cases in back then when they changed master and slave in mysql. But everything to make slaves happy and not feel triggered I guess.

you cant make people happy. Humans want always more. it's never enough
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Steam Machine
I really like my steam deck. After buying it I wanted to Download Musik and checkout some Films just to realize they removed all non game media years ago
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Keep Android Open
Banking websites will tell you that you need 2FA. Of course you need to use not just any 2FA you need to use their app and of course you don't need a 2FA if you use the app directly for banking. My companys equity app does not even want to run on lineageos. At the moment it looks like a 2 phone will be necessary at some point.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Google can keep its Chrome browser but will be barred from exclusive contracts
What about Edge? The browser on every PC and the default browser after every update? Can't even delete the desktop shortcuts.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Fast and cheap bulk storage: using LVM to cache HDDs on SSDs
Mdadm raid is rock solid. Lvm raid is not at the same level. There was a bug for years that made me doubt anybody even uses lvm-raids. I could not fix a broken raid without unmounting it. Mdadm and ext4 is what I use in production with all my trust. Lvm and btrfs for hobby projects.

ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Genetic code enables zebrafish to mend damaged organs
We do already...sometimes. Vestigial tail
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on The order of files in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ matters
I love that you can use validate: sshd -T -f %s To check if changes would break things.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on The state of binary compatibility on Linux and how to address it
Fair comparsion? This thread is about how you can't run old software on linux and are better of running windows software via wine. Running random versions instead of specific software versions is the point.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on The state of binary compatibility on Linux and how to address it
Because valve puts in the ongoing effort. Tell loki software they need to update the binaries of their games. Oh wait they don't exist anymore.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on The state of binary compatibility on Linux and how to address it
I bought 3 linux games on DVD between 2006 and 2016. I stopped buying linux games and instead started again buying windows games. Because there is no easy way to run them. On the other hand I can just run myst1993 and most of windows games without much hustle via wine. Wine is linux only stable abi
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on 'The tyranny of apps': those without smartphones are unfairly penalised
Not only do I need a smartphone for "everything" in my live.(managing my local gym membership for example) I also only have the choice between two us companies: Google or Apple. I had an ubuntu smartphone at some point but it's practically useless. If I want a appointment with my doctor in Germany living in the same street as I, the Californian Company Google has to be involved for some reason.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Perl Weekly Issue #704 – Perl Podcast
the young people are too busy porting their code to the language/framework of the week.

ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Show HN: FixBrowser – a lightweight web browser created from scratch
They fired the developers and later gave the project to the Linux foundation. Maybe "give up" is not a perfect fit. But they "abandoned" it for sure.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Nyxt: The Hacker's Browser
The comments got me already antagonistic towards the project.

But what I saw was quite nice. I mean I won't switch my default browser but there were some good ideas.

ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Popular gut probiotic craps out in randomized controlled trial
Wasn't this only about supplementation?
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on lldap: Light LDAP Implementation
My bad slapd is the openldap daemon.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on lldap: Light LDAP Implementation
We had a forest of openldap trees in 2002. Openldap had a replication integrated. Slapd (its more than 20 years ago forgive me if I get things wrong). You could use a counter or timestamps to resolf conflicts. How do you solve conflicts?
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
My comment was a response. It's a concern for Ladybird not Webkit. It's about the licence. But OP is ok with that so.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
KHTML was the basis for Chrome and Safari. A valid concern

ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Opening Windows in Linux with sockets, bare hands and 200 lines of C
different implementations of vnc support different compression algorithms and for some reason vnc always defaults to the worst (most compatible?!?) ones. You can achieve a lot by tweaking the client and server settings. The results were good enought for me to support customer with ISDN internet between 2001-2006.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Kate editor on all platforms
dcop was better. easy to use and accessible for non developer. I scripted so many dcop bash scripts. I never connected with dbus.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
Pi 1 a/b were really fragile but since pi 2 this problem is mostly solved. Still if I need to write a lot I would use a external drive. We have >300 pies running 24/7 on 52 sites all over the world. Even though we use no name brand microSDs we had only 2 failures because of a broken SD card in 4 years. Our partner company was using our hardware as a basis for something. After 1 month they asked us what SD cards brand we were using because they had a high failure rate. Our secret. We use a self made distro with minimal writes, they used default raspian and were writing permanently to the SD card.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Significant features introduced for recent versions of Perl
Hi. I really liked your book Modern Perl. Yes unfortunately auto-deref had problems.
ecef9-8c0f-4374··on Significant features introduced for recent versions of Perl
There was an experimental auto-deref feature since Perl 5.14 And it's already gone again since 5.24.
