Been happily and very successfully using the official binpkgs, it works really well, sometimes there's a slight delay for the binary versions of the source packages to appear in the repositories, but that's about it. I guess it&#x

If you’re using AWS there’s ImageBuilder, it’s by no means a drop-in replacement for packer and a closer look hints at just being ansible behind the scenes. You could probably achieve the same results with pure ansible and some cloud provid

Leons daughter Vera talked a bit about her father, his relationship to Kubrick, art and family in “Sommar i P1”, a Swedish national radio show where people in “public interest” talk about whatever for an hour or so. It’s pretty interesting

Excellent choice! I started off 2022 with learning c and it’s a lot of fun! As some other commenters, I really recommend Modern C by Jens Gustedt. If you’re on Linux you can use man pages for most or all of the c stdlib, it’s a really conve
