Funnily, I have been that guy at the last 3 places I've worked at. Every place has some amount of cruft code, and I love sniffing it out and deleting it.

If you end up doing that, please post it here. I'd be a very happy user of that extension

Uhh. No. That's a common misconception held by people that don't actually read their T&Cs. Your worth authorization is tied to "a" employer for the first two years. The employee is completely free to quit and enter i

One of the previous times this was posted, someone offered to print and ship them. I got a A2 sized canvas print. It hangs in my home office now.

I applied to one of those positions at Canonical. Their hiring process is so bad, I noped out. No wonder they have open positions all the time, since serious engineers are not going to put up with those shenanigans. What does my high school

It should not break `--page-requisites`. If it does please file a bug report with a reproducer

That's pretty easy with Wget. You can use `--accept-regex` to define the paths your recursion should follow.

Just a heads up, but you've swapped the links and the titles.

That's a very nice summary. But you're missing one crucial point. These are GNU tools and if you use them within that ecosystem, you also often use gnulib. Gnulib is effectively the GNU Portability Library. Your fancy, new, auto g

Well, yes. And I chose to exercise that right. The point of the anecdote is to supplement the parent poster by stating that their hypothetical scenarios are already happening. We should have better testing and more eyes on incoming code for

This exact thing happened to me. I maintain a fairly popular free software project. A few years ago, I received an email from a nasa.gov domain claiming that they want to use the project internally and are auditing all their suppliers. The

That used to be a fairly common standard. You'll notice nearly all the old GNU / BSD tooling use this paradigm. It is even codified in GNU's coding principles. In fact, when you do that, you can even merge all the single char

Specifically in the case of paperless-ngx, I use their export facility from a cron job. The export is plaintext and contains all the information needed to recreate the postgres db and the learned identifiers. In case of a disk failure (and

The only hard dependencies are Redis and Postgres. The official stance is to run them from the provided docket compose and the container for paperless-ngx itself is kept updated and working for the stable containers of redis and postgres.

A new option to strip query parameters from the output filename would be interesting. But its not so simple. When combined with recursion, one will often see a lot of pages with the same name but different query parameters. How should they

The -O option, not the -o option. The capital O sets the output file, while the small o in your comment sets the log filename.

Wget will give you an equivalent with the --content-dispisition flag. I would like for it to be the default, but it would likely break backwards compatibility with some scripts that except a different output filename.

If you like the timestamp function, this is available as a tool in the `moreutils` package as `ts`. You can simply pipe the output of any command to ts and have a timestamp prepended to each line it outputs. Extremely useful for streaming l

You're absolutely correct and if I'm not wrong this is a common loophole used by companies to get around the AGPL (when they really want to) That is, contract the development to a third party. Let's say A wants proprietary mo

I thought this was an exaggeration and decided to read it nonetheless. Nope, you're right. It's a fluff piece that's extremely low signal to noise. Large parts of it are long winding without getting to the point and then it s

I wouldn't say its siloed off. Its often on popular forges like Github and Gitlab. But also on smaller ones like sourceforge, GNU Savannah, sourcehut, etc. My point being that a lot of the free software movement in India doesn't c

I don't know about the others, but there are indeed people like me in India developing and maintaining non-cool, not on Github, free software. If you're here on Hacker News, there's actually a pretty good chance you've r

I'm glad you liked it. But I'm curious, why would you want to avoid f-droid builds?

Others have mentioned Materialistic and Glider. Both are great options that I used for a few years. However, I've recently changed to Hacki. It's also in the core F-Droid repo and works great for me as a HN client. Since it will e
