Correct, Read the Docs isn't going away, and maintainers certainly don't need to worry about moving their documentation. We'll just be switching hosts before the end of the year. W…

To answer these questions, I think you need to be talking to these companies that you think would/should donate. Finding out what they want or need (from you or DBIx::Class et al i…

Sphinx, or rather Docutils, does eat Markdown now: https://github.com/rtfd/recommonmark There is no access to Sphinx's directives/extensions, as it implements Commonmark support, w…

It's worth mentioning the besides the steps for requirements installation, this workflow isn't limited to Python. Sphinx has support for writing referential documentation with many…

Similarly, if your modules are that popular and causing enough of a support burden to result in resentment, maybe this is a signal of an opportunity? If your code is popular, why n…

It's not clear if you are asking about Homebrew or Macports. If you're asking for a Linux wrapper around Macports, I think you've found it. If you're asking for a cross-platform bu…

Has anyone heard anything from Moniker, or the other registrars claimed to be hacked? I wasn't able to fetch the registrar data from the zine release, and haven't found another sou…

You should look into a tool that stores meta information on the backup files, such as rdiff-backup. Manually restoring ownership/permissions from a backup is probably tiring.

Also, the added benefit of avoiding social distractions helps a great deal. I know I'll be able to sit down by myself, with my morning coffee, and have several hours of highly focu…

I would definitely agree that to progress with any endeavor -- entrepreneurial or creative -- requires critical analysis of your work and yourself. If you are not focusing on your …

Perl one-liners are a great way to learn more about Perl -- there is a lot of uncommon syntax that makes some of the more advanced examples more like little puzzles. However, if yo…

Minus the mean of transfers out this week = 11800 total. That probably doesn't equate to very much profit loss. It's good that people are voting with their money, but we need to mo…

It's probably the XML. Not only is Bcfg2's explicit configuration structure unpleasant to work with, the heart of it is in XML. I tried to use Bcfg2 and was easily put off by the r…

I agree -- although I am sure you could write a system that manages config diffs, testing, backups and reporting in Fabric, it won't be pretty. My current workflow for managing sys…

I prefer bash scripting for this as well. With a small ops team, pushing for adoption of Puppet or Chef, and definitely cfengine, can be difficult. However having a backbone for ru…

There are ways you can manage this line while working from home, but having worked on-call, in both remote and non-remote settings, separating yourself is far more difficult when w…

This hits the nail on the head, for me. I thought staying motivated would be my primary problem before I started, but what's definitely worn me down the most is the lack that delin…

For backups, I use rdiff-backup across 60G+ of user data, nightly. rdiff-backup uses librsync to transfer files, but also handles incremental backups and seems to be fairly efficie…

I've noticed this trend directly. Our incoming non-spam rate has stayed steady at an avg of about 10 msgs/min in the least few years, but our overall average rate has dropped from …

Why such interest in this script? Besides being written in php, it's also a fairly kludgey approach to managing /etc/hosts. Is it the vulgarities? #!/bin/sh [ $UID -eq 0 ] || { ech…

The alternative that predates this is to this is to just tunnel ppp over ssh using pppd: pppd updetach noauth pty "ssh root@example.com pppd nodetach notty noauth" ipparam 192.168.…

It doesn't sound like the OP tried very hard to resolve this before deducing this was all a scam that had to come to light. McAfee isn't going to resolve this out of goodwill after…

I use a crude script to make a custom hash of a password http://dpaste.com/hold/382522/ I use the two arguments: a master password, and a common name. I only know one of my passwor…
