How (if you saw that need) did you address permissions concerns, e.g., around any Git users being able to force drop all files from a backend? Back (long time ago) when I was looking into this, there was no KISS, out-of-the-box way to manag

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve last used it, but if you want container orchestration with a relatively small footprint, maybe Hashicorp Nomad (perhaps in conjunction with Consul and Traefik) is still an option. These were all single

An interesting related project is the AdNW ( http://www.adnw.de/ ) layout, which was created by defining metrics based on Dvorak’s ideas and running a genetic optimization algorithm on a corpus of German (50%) and English (50

Since Nix packages are distribution-independent, once you have it packaged with Nix, you could theoretically skip packaging for Ubuntu etc., but of course that may raise the bar of entry for your users.

This is completely dependent on your location and the size of the company. E.g., when I recently looked into the stats for Germany, the average annual income for a developer in a small to medium-sized company is ~48k€ (~55k$), which is a lo

Self-signed will work just as well, since no MTA talking to you requires the cert to be trusted (maybe DANE is required now in that case, but I was also using self-signed before I set up DANE and peers would all use opportunistic encryption

German users might also be interested in the AdNW layout ( http://www.adnw.de/ ). They started out with Neo’s excellent and logical arrangement of the non-alphabetical layers, but replaced the alphabetic layers with a layout

It might be prudent to have GnuPG return an error exit code instead of just printing a warning on stderr. Currently, it seems that clients (at least when using the shell interface) are supposed to parse the error stream. And even when they

Interesting! So in that case one could defend the need for escaped whitespace. Still leaves automatic variables, I guess.

My question was aimed at ops generic statement. As for Make, it originally wasn’t clear to me where the issue was supposed to lie. Lines in rule bodies are handed off to the shell, and that whitespace in rule dependencies need escaping didn

Additionally, not every shell expands variables the way Bourne-based shells do.

I don’t quite see how Unix tools have trouble with spaces in filenames. Could you detail some cases where the space handling is not due to the shell , as opposed to the program being invoked?

Also, the prior probability of any given artist name being a moniker of Danny Wolfers (Legowelt) is much higher than the average artist. grep says Discogs currently lists 35 aliases for him. Talented and industrious guy.

IIRC, another angle that has been proposed is to switch between the primary and secondary terminal buffers. This way, one could create a file that looks harmless when piped to the terminal but contains a hidden, malicious payload. The victi

I’ve been wanting a macropad for a while, but to be a really useful complement to the keyboard this would need a display. There appear to exist some OLED solutions, but iirc they were very pricey and probably didn’t support Linux very well.
