  • Publicly traded corps just saw the letter "p", assumed profit, and announced a 5 year plan to discover the rest of that sentence. Their shareholders are still upset it took them a whole letter before they had a plan...

  • Some of them advertised specific performance improvements.

    I'm not going to rag on them though. Some of them did have performance improvements and basically created the tools and optimized defaults that propagated to standard distros, allowing the gap to close.

  • But also, sorting big endian automatically groups elements associated with common functions making search, completions, and snippets easier (if you use them). I'm torn

  • For people using bash that are thinking "how do I do that":

    The bash-complete package adds the _command function for recursive completion on commands that accept other commands with their own arguments. It's what sudo uses last I checked. You can add complete -F _command stfu to your bashrc to link it to the stfu command.

  • To me on the security side of things caddy has a feature I have yet to see anywhere else: default reverse proxy headers.

    Got something you want to lock down remote js loading on unless it explicitly requests an override? Default the variable to a locked value. The application can override it with it's own header as necessary.

  • Search telemetry in a web browser is absolutely insane. I can understand more usage statistics but search telemetry just makes it sound like they want data on who to make an offer to for the next default search provider slot.

    Or worse yet, another half-assed partnership with some sketchy 3rd party with a completely fucked moral compass and a privacy policy to match.

  • Ha, gotta add this regex to my spam filters now that you've pointed it out

  • I don't get people being worried about an offline application designed to run one shot as the current user not receiving updates. I do get maintainers dropping the package from package repos now that it is officially archived though...

  • Googles requirements for ARM cores on Android was pretty high. Don't think I've seen a RISC-V core get close yet...

  • I wish nginx had the concept of default header values for reverse proxies...

    I mean, you can kind of do it with macros but man...

  • I2C is a bit goofy though. As a byproduct of being an undiscoverable bus you basically just have to poke random addresses and guess what you're talking to. The fact lmsensors i2c detection works as well as it does is a miracle. (Plus you get the neat issue where even the act of scanning the bus can accidentally reconfigure endpoints)

  • WebSub (formerly PubSubHubbub). Should have been a proper replacement for RSS with push support instead of polling. Too bad the docs were awful and adopting it as an end user was so difficult that it never caught on.

  • I'm glad the Brits are finally getting it. We've had colord for a while now...

  • If only you knew what they've been doing to the embedded devices lately...

  • We're the front line dog. Strike me down so Debian Stable's legacy may live on.
