Thanks! Tried it with (k)nsupdate, and it might be nice to add them into snippets and/or documentation. E.g., using the same placeholder names as in the documentation: $ nsupdate #…

Thanks; it is the same login as here, at steady.mooo.com.

Attempted to register, but the verification message does not arrive. I did not see anything resembling it in the mail server logs right after registration, and there is still nothi…

I prefer and use the knot DNS server for authoritative DNS (and either knot-resolver or Unbound for caching DNS servers) myself: it is quite feature-rich, including DNSSEC, RFC 213…

The FF reader view here starts from "We just saw how a Decision Tree", gobbling up half the article. Simply disabling CSS works better. Though in both cases, it seems that ordering…

There is also the "No multi-floor/multi-map support" point. Apparently it is treated less seriously than others there, and omitted here, but seemed particularly unfortunate to me: …

(Sorry for the relatively long post; it so happened in an attempt to explain my point of view in more detail. I think variations of that do come up in such discussions, but staying…

I have no issues with it, and actually happy to see alternative implementations. Possibly because I did not use it much, but it does look fine to me. Not as a complete GPG replacem…

This OpenPGP and GnuPG criticism is brought up regularly here, but the proposed alternatives come with their own downsides: some of those are proprietary, some are centralized syst…

I thought the point is to pass along the message, though the one that is brought up quite regularly: sharing the joy of making websites, and such making as a way for anyone to cont…

In my desktop Firefox it does not fit horizontally, and it is not scrollable: I had to maximize the window in order to uncover the keyboard completely.

Neat, but it takes two pages on printing in the landscape orientation in Firefox on either A4 or US letter paper sizes here, with minimal font size set to 16. Generally matching of…

Pixel 6a used to show a September patch as the latest, but tapping "check for updates" found a new one. As mentioned in other comments here, apparently tapping those buttons twice …

Of course not: I meant Russian audience, which that poll and the post were about. Added "Russian" into the post, to avoid further misunderstandings.

I think the usual advice is to try the vanilla Emacs, maybe use better-defaults (either directly or just for inspiration), as it is a relatively light customization. The setups peo…

The advice looks sensible, but not sure if it does more good than harm. I recall simplified user interfaces standing in the way, hiding (or simply not providing) useful knobs or in…

On the bright side, this will lead to a more relaxed December schedule. I do not compete for the leaderboard, but trying to solve the puzzles on the days they are released (to keep…
