I'm not sure it is so uncommon - just that there is no answer. I'm pretty convinced that a lot less people would complain about the XDG Base Directory Specification if that would be possible.

I'm one of those (though I usually do not publicly complain about it).

Yes, it's the only topic of the FAQ, hence the smiley.

I wonder in what language this was written in. ;)

> Why don't you set your XDG vars to where you want to put them then?

I hear that argument often. When a program uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tool/ for its config files, to what value should I set XDG_CONFIG_HOME to get the old behavior where it puts its config in $HOME/.tool/?

No, it's actually pretty close. German werknemer is Arbeitnehmer.

I don't know who you are replying to. I never spoke about 'free stuff' nor the quality of HN comments.

At the time I wrote my comment here there were only one comment from Taran telling us what he gives about the topic and Daniel's reply to it. Should have made this more clear. It was to expect that comments will explode from HN visitors.

Of course he will not get less email when closing the comment section. The question was if he will get more email abuse when closing the comment section.

> one comment, that the moderator didn't even see fit to remove. Ain't much.

It's not only about the comments we can see, but also about those comments that get filtered out by the moderator

> Also funny that you wonder if people would take the hurdle to send an email instead.

Of course you also get non-friendly emails. I was wondering if the people that leave those comments would send an email instead.

Looking at the comment section I feel assured that comments are a thing of the past. I wonder if those people would take the hurdle to send an email instead.

From [2]: > Die Autonome Antifa Freiburg (AAF) hat interne Chats der Verbindungen veröffentlicht, aus denen weitere Details hervorgehen.

Roughly: > The Autonomous Antifa Freiburg has released internal chats from that association which give more detail.

How does a local antifa group get access to internal chats of a Burschenschaft?

I avoid keyboards without trackpoint.

And for the rare case where I have to do something which requires a lot of mouse pointer motion (e.g. CAD modeling or reading schematics) I prefer a real mouse over a trackpad.

Yes, because I have to move my hand off the keyboard to use the trackpad.

This is the second comment here claiming that w3m displays HN correctly - what am I doing wrong? Most comments are not correctly indented.

> I got stuck somewhere around minimizing the number of system headers that go out with each message.

What system headers are you trying to minimize?

This is totally gorgeous and pointless at the same time.

I had to enable JS to view the content. I was disappointed to see that this is about running some Grafana tool an K8s.

It's image 3 in the linked article.

If you are building an OS and someone is making a movie about it you gonna make sure you look cool. I'm not convinced this is how he worked every day.

> Image 3, Ken Thompson working on the PDP-11 using a Teletype (model 33?). What always struck be about this image is the atrocious ergonomics of … everything. The keyboard, the chair, everything about the posture: it’s all terrible. Inventing Unix almost seems easy compared to dealing with that!

I've seen this photo a hundred times and never thought about that. I wonder when ergonomics started being a thing when designing computer workplaces.

It's a short round up. There's still enough to discover.

I must admit that I was way to long already at adult age before I got the final joke.

Yes, its latest commit was 3 days ago.

I just stumbled over it. I find it very interesting. Exactly because it made such a strange impression on the first look. The web design and the choice of C89 are not that common in nearly 2023.

From the website:

> sim is a simple, interactive, multi-file text editor designed for screens with monospaced font. It is heavily inspired on the 'vim' and 'sam' text editors, hence the name sim. The main goal of this software is portability. It only depends only on the C89 standard, and tries to minimize the usage of system calls as much as possible, making it easy (or not even necessary) to port to another environment.

> Stackable key maps (modes)

Does this mean I can have a vi-like experience, but I have to configure it myself? A quick look into the help page of mle was not very helpful.

Thanks for the clarification!

Aside, I was not complaining about the Let's Encrypt stuff, I'm totally ok with using https nowadays.

It's about knowing what to configure. I'm bet my distro comes with a well pre-configured web server, but I can't be sure.

Why is all this configuring with different headers necessary to publish a web site? For me it looks like the system is broken.

This whole step with relayd is why I have a hoster taking care of all this. I'd would've never occurred to me that any of this is necessary.

Somewhere in history we took the wrong turn making a simple thing like publishing a website that complicated.

> nobody cares about w3m or Lynx

I'd say, this is a security feature - even if the code is not the most secure.

Out of interest, did you report your findings from fuzzing? Did things got fixed?

It has a little too many settings/features for my taste. Unfortunately removing things doesn't attract user - adding things does.

I never used mothra, but heard a lot of good things about the plan 9 tools. They got the advantage, that they could start afresh. I'm curious how much work it would be to port it to a *nix system.

If it is a inconvenient indirection for you, than w3m is probably not the right tool.

The linked article mentions some reasons. I use it, because it fits my console-focused work style. It's blanzigly fast, removes all the distractions like unnecessary images and ads, doesn't require me to take my hands of the keyboard, works very well if I'm working on a mobile hotspot, can be used while being ssh'd into a server... and because opening the side in a regular modern browser is only a key press away.
