Finish It with Love & Interest But Undesired Stuff Therefore Exists Ramshackley also known as FILIBUSTER - where you prioritize finishing stuff you like, pushing back the things you lack interest in, indefinitely ;P

perhaps worth pointing out the "some unique features" instead of being so vague about it ;)

it's a very subjective question, depending on stuff like how much you care to update the system, but I'd say: you might like https://mxlinux.org/ which has seen growing popularity, it's based on debian stable

"crazy old" likely has years and years of people documenting all the workarounds and hacks that need to be done to achieve X while "crazy new" might not have that much cruft, but you'll be stuck trying to figure it

I'd think it probably just splits to two groups: 1) IT is critical, therefore we'll use modern tech that makes it more reliable or better, VS 2) Meh, It Works™, so why change it? We've got better things to do than figure out

I will say, I WOULD absolutely love it, if it weren't for the little problem...that...I can't "just add to the zip"...because for whatever reason, it ruins the special setup... on windows, 7zip and windows explorer'

I mean, it's not hard to test that ;) firefox has a builtin offline mode, for example

seems to be fine on my end?

I'd upvote thrice if I could ;) there's so many ways to utilize ternary, on different levels, you could use this kind of ternary hardware serialisation as an addon to normal binary stuff, not only base-3 computing, for example if

because windows has no concept of an executable bit, so a rename could make it runnable? or a benign looking program has a built-in interpreter run code from external file?

uninformed guess: every commit is a version bump, every push to master is a major version bump?

I think the site probably just died because it couldn't handle HN storming in to all the chats ;p

I think you mean grayscale, not black and white? VERY different things, black and white is strictly 2 colors, grayscale is any gray shade

they are LARGELY useful... they do what they say on the tin, at least unless you visit some super agressive site which uses anti-adblock, but, then again you can conf up an anti-anti-adblock ;)

more the fault of the site devs for not using css media queries, or svg ;p

I imagine it should be pretty easy with javascript to set up dummy images, and replace them... probably also doable in pure css, just make them a block element or something, with a set size...

I especially hate the way gnu utils treat character groups like [:alnum:] which, if you have utf8 version of a locale, matches characters in ANY unicode language set... so if you, say, grep for numbers in /dev/urandom with a shell

well, gnome creates folders in whatever language you installed with, tho it can translate the file manager's sidebar items, I think... so a change of locale means you'd still have the old dir left, and show as old name everywhere

I've never had any such problems in my life with FF... not even when opening over a thousand tabs (of course not all active at the same time, lol)... sux they removed actually useful extention format, but otherwise it's great, eve

I'm preeettty sure that's just because it's relying on the separate WebView app, using WebView is also how it's possible for people to make sub-megabyte android browsers, such as [Naked Browser]( https://play.g

it IS trivial to port forward though, lol

what happened to the simple invocation of `which "$(echo $0)"` ?
24.
by jan6 6y ago
which "$(echo $0)" should work no matter the invokation ;p if full path, it still returns full path, if just "bash" or such it finds it from $PATH, badoom!

by jan6 6y ago
with that I'd put myself up with, but nice would be if more was written text along the lines of this...

by jan6 6y ago
I mean... have you heard of ansi escapes and utf8? you can underline, bold, italic, color, and some other stuff with escape codes, and use box drawing characters to make nicer UI like <hr> equivalent lines or, well, boxes, there'

I think it wouldn't be that hard to cut open a hand either...

I'd think you can see who owns the IP range and check if it's some ISP... probably some api somewhere also... oooor just check the reverse dns and see if it's dyn .someISP

you mean like Estonia's digital signing? ;) and pretty sure that most sane-ish companies already delay and notify people of major stuff like account deletion and such, less hassle on both parts, company also benefits as it can just bat

I don't know, but I'd think it's slightly true I'd guess you'll be marked in THEIR database, so if the hotel happens to use that company's lists, you might be marked, but not be high risk in anyone else's
