Quick git tip. If you want to remove any local branches that have since been merged you can run this.

git branch --merged | egrep -v "(^\*|dev|main)" | xargs git branch -d  

I have it as a TextExpander shortcut, but you could also add an alias

It looks for any branch that isn't dev or main (add any you always want to keep around) that has been merged in and deletes them.

This is helpful if you rely on tab-to-autocomplete a lot

Oh cool, I had no clue about that git branch option! Thank you!

What's (open source) maintaining?

levitte,
@levitte@mastodon.nu avatar

@bagder
Depending on how you read this, I agree or I wholeheartedly disagree.

The question is, maintaining... what?

For example, maintaining a software project might be to just develop and patch when bugs are found, and release those changes.

So it turns out, the maintenance part could as well be a fairly small role, alongside a whole slew of those you have listed there.

All this, said in the spirit of https://www.softwaremaxims.com/blog/not-a-supplier

Someone responsible for enforcing the code of conduct in a project reaches out to you to discuss your behavior.

Do you (1) listen to them in earnest, ask questions if things are unclear, and take the opportunity for introspection and improvement, or (2) interpret everything they said as a threat, immediately escalate it into an argument, and characterize the email as a harassment campaign targeted against you and endorsed by the employer of the conduct enforcement person?

🤦‍♂️

@lanodan @drewdevault
I would say that your scenario (4) should be deemed like (2), just with added passive aggressivity (which makes matters worse in my book)...

I do not understand why every modern Unix does not automatically generate a new swap encryption key on boot by default

@drewdevault @ttmevans
True, but @ttmevans' point is still valid, if the RAM you have is enough to support what you do, swap is superfluous

Amazingly vapid argument:

The writer criticises , the streaming service, on the grounds that if you give it no information about your taste and just click on a random playlist on the opening page, you get to hear bland commercial music catering to the lowest common denominator. This is analogous to criticising 1990s record stores because you once went into one, bought a record completely at random, and didn’t like it.

@mrundkvist
There's a difference though. Even without feeding it, there is still an algorithm making choices for you. In a record store (good enough to have a bit more than just the blandly popular records), you were the algorithm.

If you want to make a tangible parallel, a radio station running the "top of the list" hits is much closer to Spotify with an unfed algo.

Really good essay, and it confirmed the few last bits I had questions on (so by now, I feel 100% confident 😉)

On this day three years ago, I received my to date most scary https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/02/19/i-will-slaughter-you/ - I'm not used to death threats,

... which over time of course turned out to be harmless.

Just a small detail, I suspect the current top update should be 2024-01-14 rather than 2024-01-13.

It's a git forge, in the same vein as github and gitlab. It's hugely more light weight than those beasts, though

The first HTTP/3 code landed in in 2019. Now we might soon have it enabled for real and not "experimental" anymore: https://curl.se/mail/lib-2023-10/0023.html

Depends on what you think "caring about your users" actually is.

OpenSSL has figured that an OpenSSL-native API, integrated with already existing OpenSSL API, is important, and likewise, it's important to be able to build OpenSSL on quite a lot of platforms with a minimum of dependencies.

BTW, OpenSSL has achieved the client part by now. I'm tempted to contribute a patch that uses this... given personal time.
