I once worked for an organization known for providing good documentation. This is how it worked: They had a documentation-writing branch. And you (developer) knew that if you don't…

It does not listen on IPv6 address! Such a shame susam.net still has not adopted IPv6 in 2025 :-Q

Small company in Netherlands? My guess: management realized that they don't have money, and axed the position. They cannot say it openly, so had no choice but to ghost the intervie…

This will make mozillateam's repo preferred over default "snapified": $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/firefox-ppa-pin-400 Package: \* Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam Pin-Priority: 9…
