mziulu··on Behold z, the unsung jewel that rethinks shell navigation
Other than the already mentioned zoxide, there's also https://github.com/jethrokuan/z
mziulu··on iCloud was storing cleared browsing histories
Can confirm, still works fine as it always did.

mziulu··on New Emacs maintainer
Best of luck to John!

I've been following the discussions on emacs-devel lately and he's been showing a lot of enthusiasm for what he has in front of him, and given John's previous endeavours (use-package, eshell) I really think emacs has found a worthy successor to Stefan Monnier.

mziulu··on LastPass Security Notice
>> (Though if you've found a good option, that will allow me to easily sync across my home desktop, laptop, office pc, tablet, and smartphone, without using the cloud, I would absolutely love to hear about it! Maybe something Bluetooth based?)

I'd like to chime in with another suggestion for a storage solution that I haven't seen mentioned yet: syncthing ( https://syncthing.net/ ) makes for a very good alternative to Dropbox, letting you synchronize your data across your devices but without relying on a third party service to do so. I use it to sync my KeepassX database across Linux, Windows and Android devices.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated in any way with syncthing, I'm just a happy user.

mziulu··on UBlock Origin
But it's not an adblocker. It's a generic blocking plugin that also supports blocking ads.
mziulu··on UBlock Origin
The add-on shouldn't block anything on its own, so if there's a problem it's probably on some filter list that the user enabled. There's a pretty good way to debug these situations though, the network request log ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger ). It will let you see the history of requests for a given page, and one of the colums in the log lets you fine tune what uBlock should do for that particular request - so, if you see that something that you don't want to be blocked is filtered out, you can reverse that and reload the page.

EDIT: in the latest release (0.9.9.0 at the time of this writing) the request log will also tell you which list provides the rule that blocks a particular request, it's pretty handy to debug this kind of issue.

mziulu··on µBlock for Firefox
Yes this is true. If a site is not working and the only reasonable domain to allow is something from cloudflare, I resort to allowing it temporarily. Not many ways around that, I think.
mziulu··on µBlock for Firefox
I haven't used uMatrix, since I use Firefox, but I can speak for RequestPolicy, which is kind of the same thing basically AFAICS. It's very very very rare that I end up whitelisting everything that's requested on a site. The more you use the extension, the more you learn to recognize what domains you need to allow in order to have the site working as intended, and this way you end up building your own whitelist: allowing requests from a domain is a one-time only thing most of the times (additionally, there's an extension you can install that syncs your whitelist to your Firefox Sync account).
mziulu··on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE images are available
I've used the official instructions here: https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html I've not used the ports DB for this, I've simply cloned the source on /var/www and went from there.
mziulu··on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE images are available
Thanks, I'll try in the weekend!
mziulu··on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE images are available
I use hetzner, I don't have a lot of necessities right now (I use it as git repo and as firefox sync server), but I'm very happy with it.
mziulu··on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE images are available
Can I upgrade my (toy) VPS using freebsd-update? Or is the procedure different?
mziulu··on CVE-2014-7169: Bash Fix Incomplete, Still Exploitable
Thanks a lot, I was discussing this with a friend and we reached this conclusion too.
mziulu··on CVE-2014-7169: Bash Fix Incomplete, Still Exploitable
Just as an aside - is there a particular reason you specify the type of the filesystem? Is there something specific to FAT that might make this exploit viable? I'm thinking permissions, but I'm not sure.
mziulu··on Emacs and Vim
I've had some weird things happen too when searching for files in a project using projectile, I fix it by triggering a refresh of the cache by prefixing with a C-u the C-c p f command.
mziulu··on JetBrains C++ IDE: Status update and Video report
I wonder if progress in this area will speed up the process of getting ndk/native development support in Android Studio. Congratulations to the JetBrains team for this milestone, it looks promising!
mziulu··on JetBrains C++ IDE: Status update and Video report
There is also an auto-complete provider that uses clang for giving completion suggestions. I also think there might be a company-mode backend in the works, though I'm not sure about this one (company-mode is the "official" completion framework for emacs, while auto-complete is the unofficial but most widespread one).
mziulu··on Introducing Mozilla Firefox Accounts
I expect those of us that host their own Sync server will have to deploy this[0] one instead. This is the general idea I got reading [1].

mziulu··on Git add -p
In case you didn't already know, magit exposes `add -p` functionality in a very emacs-y way: it leverages the region concept by making it so that if you select the part of a diff you want to stage in your magit-status buffer and then press s it will only stage that region.
mziulu··on Why Does A Good Kettle Cost $90+?
That's why he said leaves and not bags. It's ok to reuse the leaves, most of the times the resulting brew will be different from the previous, which is sometimes the desired thing.
mziulu··on Hacker News was down
I'm getting SSL warnings from Certificate Patrol, anything to worry about?
mziulu··on Visual Studio 2013 released to web
Cheers!
mziulu··on Visual Studio 2013 released to web
Semi OT: what is ninja? Tried looking it up but couldn't come up with a meaningful result.
mziulu··on GNU Typist
You should be able to customize that by setting 'sentence-end-double-space' to nil.
mziulu··on Why Diablo 3 is less addictive than Diablo 2: a scientific explanation
This is not entirely correct. While several Uniques could be considered Best In Slot, a good magical (especially true pre 1.10 path with Cruel weapons) and more commonly a good rare would be the best choice for a given build. Rare (or Crafted) Gloves, Amulets, Belts, Boots and Tiaras could spawn with extremely good properties, often surpassing Unique items.
mziulu··on Wine 1.4
Interesting, didn't know that.
mziulu··on Wine 1.4
Some Windows licenses don't allow you to virtualize?

Yeah but they were talking about desktops there.
