They are attacking random trade ships in order to grow political clout and nothing more

Source?

Any argument I can address here or you just voicing your frustration out loud with my opinions?

Here's a source for the claim if you're interested. Google will reveal more.

No.

And if you say it again it'll still be wrong.

Support them fighting for Palestinian cause: Yes

Support them persecuring LGBT: No

This is very unfortunate.

But surely this is because Arabs are inherently savage and backwards, and has nothing to do with all the wars and bombs that created the worse humanitarian crisis of the century. (sarcasm)

The beauty of the shell script world. The application they mentioned already exists now, and array of additional ones.

Command+C on Mac books work, yes, But that still means inconsistencies across different platforms. I am forced to use macos for work, and I try to unify my shortcuts across the two platforms. Otherwise it's disorienting using my personal computer after a day of work

Sorry, I'm not following.

Ctrl+Insert gets pretty close, but some laptops, including Mac books, don't have insert on their keyboard. 😔

It shouldn't be too difficult to remap them all to the ctrl+shift equivalent. I just have to make sure I get all of them.

Isn't it enough just to instruct stty to take the new shortcut, instead of running a custom kernel? Is there anything left out by doing this?

That's a valid point. I already have a similar but not exactly the same problem when I move between linux and macos, where the shortcuts don't really match or work.

The difference between ctrl+C on the browser and ctrl+C on the terminal already disorients me. I'd rather the shortcut work the 99% of the time I'm on my own machines.

I think I'll just have to really keep this in mind when not using my own machine.

Would you say the programming.dev matrix / discord are laid back and fit non-work-related programming? Maybe if I am active there I could contribute to making it the server active.

I did see the Jane street stuff. Is it better to use them instead of the standard library?

My fear with Haskell is that I will end up trying to learn category theory, which will be a much bigger time sink. But I suppose it is the natural next step.

Thanks for the pointer on the module system! I'll study that next.

What're the downsides? I'm sure it's very insecure. Is it faster?

You can create a key pair that is specifically just for this kind of backup transaction.

To limit its affects, create a user and group on each of the devices that are highly restricted.

This is actually the most secure solution that doesn't require an interactive password prompt. The passwordless key only serves this one purpose and has small attack surface.

From my understanding, the issue is you can't run them as background script because it is promoting you for the passphrase of the ssh key?

The easiest way to solve this is to use a ssh key that has no passphrase. Yes it's possible and it won't prompt you for it. Whenever you create a key, it asks you to enter a passphrase. If you hit enter without entering anything, there's no passphrase.

But if you just don't want ssh at all, you can use rsync daemon. Someone else mentioned it here. It's not as hard as they said, especially if you're in a local network where you're fine without encryption.

the comments in this thread show that there are different answers to the question, including different from this post.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the link. It's a good read.
