mathfailure··on I fixed a tractor using John Deere's self-repair service. Farmers aren't sold
First 2 links give "You’ve read your last free article."

The last link says domain not resolved.

Do better.

Sir, there are rules. You have to follow them. You don't insert arbitrary number of spaces after any punctuation marks. Your 'mental breath'/health issues should not affect others. Historical workarounds for quite technical problems from past eras don't mean what you think they mean. They were workarounds, not a valid reason to use double spacing in digital texts.

mathfailure··on Show HN: Gander, an Android file viewer that asks for no permissions
I don't understand the comments to this post. Don't people use firewalls anymore to limit internet access only to the apps really needing it?
mathfailure··on New method turns ocean water into drinking water, without waste
What, again?
mathfailure··on Fully in-browser container builds
I don't know any scenario where I'd need any of that, but I love such things regardless.

About git.kontain.me - what if I'd like to setup my own copy of such a service and would like it to work with a non-public git repo, how to pass credentials? Since you support only cloning over https (btw, why not over ssh as well?) - one could use an URL of format user:pass@host:port/path/to/repo, would that work?

mathfailure··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
> You can't reasonably get a job at a US firm while being physically located somewhere else and on the other side of an uncertain and greatly attenuated greencard application process. That's just not how this works.

For IT jobs - why can't you?

Cloudflare is cancer. And the tumor is now too big.
mathfailure··on Quien – A better WHOIS lookup tool
I do. I care. And there are dozens of us.

Lots of infected programs provide value. It has nothing to do with being or not being infected.

If a project was vibecoded in a weekend - there are less chances that it will still be maintained in a, say, year or two.

mathfailure··on LittleSnitch for Linux
Nice to have this as an extra option, but being a linux user I value openness of code. I am pretty content with opensnitch + opensnitch-ui.

No, there are no such news yet, only hearsay.
mathfailure··on EU bans the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear
What stops them from selling it to an affiliated entity for 1 eurocent and thus evade the ban?
mathfailure··on The Future for Tyr, a Rust GPU Driver for Arm Mali Hardware
Looks believable that they are indeed the devs behind the project, but it's weird to post stuff like that to... reddit? They have a site for the project, why not post there?
mathfailure··on The Future for Tyr, a Rust GPU Driver for Arm Mali Hardware
One can start working on creation of a teleportation device. Doesn't mean we have it.

Not if if you APPEND the dot path to the PATH env: the system traverses the dirs specified in the PATH env from left to right and stops at first match. Your system's sed binary is in the dir that's to the left of your '.' dir.
