Funnily, I have been that guy at the last 3 places I've worked at. Every place has some amount of cruft code, and I love sniffing it out and deleting it.

If you end up doing that, please post it here. I'd be a very happy user of that extension

Uhh. No. That's a common misconception held by people that don't actually read their T&Cs. Your worth authorization is tied to "a" employer for the first two years. The employee is…

One of the previous times this was posted, someone offered to print and ship them. I got a A2 sized canvas print. It hangs in my home office now.

Anecdata don't make facts

I applied to one of those positions at Canonical. Their hiring process is so bad, I noped out. No wonder they have open positions all the time, since serious engineers are not goin…

It should not break `--page-requisites`. If it does please file a bug report with a reproducer

That's pretty easy with Wget. You can use `--accept-regex` to define the paths your recursion should follow.

Just a heads up, but you've swapped the links and the titles.

That's a very nice summary. But you're missing one crucial point. These are GNU tools and if you use them within that ecosystem, you also often use gnulib. Gnulib is effectively th…

Well, yes. And I chose to exercise that right. The point of the anecdote is to supplement the parent poster by stating that their hypothetical scenarios are already happening. We s…

This exact thing happened to me. I maintain a fairly popular free software project. A few years ago, I received an email from a nasa.gov domain claiming that they want to use the p…

That used to be a fairly common standard. You'll notice nearly all the old GNU / BSD tooling use this paradigm. It is even codified in GNU's coding principles. In fact, when you do…

Specifically in the case of paperless-ngx, I use their export facility from a cron job. The export is plaintext and contains all the information needed to recreate the postgres db …

The only hard dependencies are Redis and Postgres. The official stance is to run them from the provided docket compose and the container for paperless-ngx itself is kept updated an…

Yes, you can :)

A new option to strip query parameters from the output filename would be interesting. But its not so simple. When combined with recursion, one will often see a lot of pages with th…

The -O option, not the -o option. The capital O sets the output file, while the small o in your comment sets the log filename.

Wget will give you an equivalent with the --content-dispisition flag. I would like for it to be the default, but it would likely break backwards compatibility with some scripts tha…

If you like the timestamp function, this is available as a tool in the `moreutils` package as `ts`. You can simply pipe the output of any command to ts and have a timestamp prepend…

You're absolutely correct and if I'm not wrong this is a common loophole used by companies to get around the AGPL (when they really want to) That is, contract the development to a …

I thought this was an exaggeration and decided to read it nonetheless. Nope, you're right. It's a fluff piece that's extremely low signal to noise. Large parts of it are long windi…

I wouldn't say its siloed off. Its often on popular forges like Github and Gitlab. But also on smaller ones like sourceforge, GNU Savannah, sourcehut, etc. My point being that a lo…
