5️⃣ Here's the 5th installment of my series of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v256 release of systemd.
I am pretty sure all of you are well aware of the venerable "sudo" tool that is a key component of most Linux distributions since a long time. At the surface it's a tool that allows an unprivileged user to acquire privileges temporarily, from within their existing login sessions, for just one command, or maybe for a subshell.
@jani when it's purely adding to and not replacing text, it's fine by me and can be quite beneficial when done well (eg. to quickly recognize the emoji instead of having to read the text label to find the line with a specific issue), but I strongly dislike when it replaces the text and you lose the information when the emoji is not displayed properly or when going through tools like grep
I'm trying to pay my Virginia income taxes online, and they have disabled paste in any field of consequence. Paste in a password? Nope. Your bank's routing number? You're gonna have to hand-key that. Your bank account number? You better believe you're typing that in.
If you wanted to force people to create crappy passwords and cause them to accidentally siphon money out of strangers' bank accounts, this is how you'd do it. And somebody went to extra effort to make it be like this!
In retrospect, we should have figured out that Jia Tan was a plant from the fact that they showed up to do releases. In 20+ years of contributions to FLOSS projects I haven't found anybody willing to do the same.
@philn heh, currently having the opposite problem: I want to change my name to show that I'll be off, and again once I'm back, but I don't want to lose all my unread conversations (especially when I get back) which matrix currently does when you change your name.
Anyway all that to say you could always try to do that as a workaround 😅
@philn I usually go read everything before I change my name back, otherwise I lose the information of where I was tagged, and anything where I wasn't tagged I don't catch up on, except specific rooms
So this royal lassie is getting chemo, couple of thoughts:
Normally I'd advocate for absolute respect for someone's privacy, but these aristocratic folk receive public spending that could otherwise be spent on the health services so they can get fucked
I wish they were being more specific than "cancer" because one of the things it's important for people to understand is that that's meaningless at this point
As a cancer patient in their 40s, fuck the royals 👍🏻
I usually have lots of git branches with various iterations of whatever I'm working on. And I lose track what each branch contains. git range-diff is great, but a bit tedious.
Here's a helper alias to "range compare" two branches. It finds their common ancestor, and range diffs them.
