Ctrl-x e in zsh is '_expand_word'. The function you are talking about is 'edit-command-line', which is not loaded or bound to any key by default in zsh. You have to load it manually.

gmaslov is clearly talking about the OpenSSH trust model. You are confusing it with the Trust On First Use model, which is not the same thing.

by jfr 15y ago
Wrong. The OpenSSH model implies that you check the fingerprint of the public key before you send encrypted data using that key. That is why SSH shows you the fingerprint of the server key when you first connect, and you have to answer "yes

For the users, it is either this or no movie player for them. No movie player means a big product disadvantage compared to competitors, which is very bad for Google as a company. The problem is not Google, it is DRM and DMCA.

I could use your argument to describe pretty much any modern compiler or framework. "It is extremely hard to write a fast, reliable Java SDK that generates good error messages.", for example. It took years to GCC to arrive where it is becau

This is not the expected transition plan to IPv6. You do not turn IPv4 off. During the first phase of the transition period, new users are supposed to run IPv4 and IPv6 side-by-side, so they can reach both parts of the Internet without issu

Note: in your case, customer means ISP. From what I remember, the instructions were that ISPs receive no less than /32, which should provide end-users either /48 or /56. End users use the remaining 8-16 bits to partition their networks in /

No way! It took us almost 20 years to start moving towards IPv6, at great costs. It was better to exaggerate on the address space so that to we don't have to bother with another transition for a long, long time. I don't expect the next tran

You mentioned twice that IPv6 addresses aren't scalar in this discussion. Why? Are you talking about the scope identifier or the flow label? The scope identifier is not used by the Network Layer, it is used to disambiguate between addresses

by jfr 16y ago
From a purely aesthetic standpoint, IPv6 addresses look nasty. IP addresses are supposed to be used by machines, not humans (considering network administrators are not humans). Humans should deal with domain names. They vary in length,
