Last time I was tempted to use suid, it was in order to allow an application I’d written to listen on 80 and 443. Fortunately I found the capabilities way of doing that (setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' executable) and that was the first I ever heard of capabilities. I consider myself pretty Linux-savvy, but it was pretty recently that I learned about capabilities.

I’m a little disappointed it’s not a GUI written in Visual Basic. (Kidding, kidding.)

4chan and Jira too. It does seem like a lot of things have had outages lately.

I really can’t overstate how much respect I have for Kuhn and the SFC. If RMS and the FSF are the Free Software movement’s past, Kuhn and the SFC are it’s future, and I can’t imagine anyone better to carry that particular torch.

Why wasn’t I told that was an option sooner?

Whoever created YAML apparently thought Excel was a masterpiece of software design.

Damn. You’re tempting me to make a novelty language.

Someone woke up this morning and chose violence.

I’m not sure I’ve ever tried to do any write operations. I’m honestly not even sure the service behind that login page offers any write operations. I might have to check sometime. I’m curious.

Where I work, the infra folks are way overworked. Getting them to do things is impossible given their existing todo list. And when you do get them to do something (by throwing managers at them) they half-ass it.

(I’m not blaming them. I blame the managers. It is frustrating though. Anyway.)

And as a result, there’s one system that I use frequently that they set up, but cut corners and never hooked it up to our single sign-on solution. And so in order to get into this system, everyone has to use a shared username/password. “readonly:readonly”. And every time I log in, my browser nags me about the known weak password.

On Arch (which I’m kindof in the process of migrating away from, but anyway), I tend to use the version of vi that is pre-installed as part of the base system. And it segfaults not terribly infrequently and the fact that that hasn’t been fixed yet in all the years I’ve been using Arch makes me think it almost has to be unmaintained.

I prefer something lighter than Vim, and that fits the bill. I used something called “nvi” at one time in the past, but it had some annoying quirks as well. On non-Arch systems, I just use Vim.

It was Zero Cool. Definitely Zero Cool.

The only thing worse than reading documentation/tutorials about how to do things in GUIs is writing documentation about how to do things in GUIs. It’s just screenshot after screenshot. And following it is like playing a ScummVM game, only less fun and lots more alt+tabbing.

Lessee. Username’s a reference to Snow Crash, which is a cyberpunk book. Played the game “years ago”. The game must have a name not so connected to the content that OP would have already remembered the name before posting.

I’m going to guess Shadowrun for the SNES.

Yeah, but Star Trek, though. That’s a “killer feature” for a lot of people.

Paramount+ doesn’t work for shit, though. They keep inventing new and different ways to break. Even if you’re really into the content they provide, they’re so hard to work with and keep working consistently. Not like Netflix or Prime Video or Disney+ or whatever. (Hulu is… pretty janky as well. But anyway.)

Yeah, more like “cringe deez nuts.”

It’s almost as if the “aRtIfiCiAl iNtElLiGenCe” is as big a cult as blockchain is, isn’t it?
