Lazier than you think! You almost nerdsniped me into seeing how fast I could whip up a crawler but then I checked the search and found out it can find comments and use a custom dat…

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36336256 This one seems to fit. Happy I've never had reason to write one like it.

awk '{ k = $1; sub("^[^ ]* *", "", $0); d[k] = $0; } END { print d["Title"], "by", d["Artist"]; }' Personally I'm a bit of a sed fan sed -nE '/^Artist/{N;s/^Artist +(.*)\nTitle +(.…

Ctrl-F free - Phrase not found What a coincidence. I'm not a card carrying FSF member but that seems like a deliberate omission from the admittedly brief history. However also fair…

> the windows partition was using hardware-bitlocker That sounds way too exciting, even without that involved I keep my Windows install on its own disk.

> I personally use a boot-stub based booting method with my own SB keys Same here - stub, kernel, initrd and embedded cmdline all in a signed UKI on the ESP. I do encrypt my root h…

Now that 's the most ominous title I've read all year, and it's a piece in favor of it? Maybe I've just read too many dystopian novels, but come on. I'm all in favor of secure boot…

> Another reason to prefer the cat variant is that it lets you actually string together a normal shell pipeline. That's just as easy with dd, decompress|dd is especially useful: xz…

For more X is also a Y-style fun, check out PoC||GTFO - "This PDF is also an MBR boot sector" is just the beginning.

> I've read that the PCEngines struggles to keep up with network traffic in excess of 100Mb/s. For reference, quick iperf3 TCP tests on my APU2 (cpu[0123]: AMD GX-412TC SOC, 998.27…

A large part of it is just that it's "home" after finding it at the right time in my skill curve - probably could've been Arch as well. The Arch wiki might be a bit better and we a…

s/Arch/Gentoo/ I did run Arch for a while around 2010 but it didn't take. It's nice to find a permanent home - I've been on Gentoo since 2013 and an acquaintance has been on Slackw…

> blatant user hostile elitism ...and that's a feature . There's nothing wrong with Arch doing its thing, there's always Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Manjaro/whatever - and Gentoo for thos…

Those who want to try it for themselves can check out https://cryptopals.com/sets/2/challenges/12 (and that entire set).

Yeah wlan is by far the weakest point of OpenBSD networking - especially as an AP. Slipped my mind completely actually. The way most do it is to have separate APs. Still, you can c…

Setting up an OpenBSD router is almost trivial - it's all there in the base system. dhcpd, unbound, net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 and a forwarding rule in pf.conf and you're good to go.…

I think most of us do get that. However I also believe that's only because they haven't considered the potential impact of constant surveillance from everything you own sent to thi…

Discord certainly works, but when I see a chat box lag on an i7 8700k with 32GB of memory I die a little inside. And that happens occasionally with Discord, without running make -j…

I believe so, there was talk about putting servers in Guam for that reason a while ago around regular QW.

I would try to compile - QuakeSpasm-Spiked, modified QuakeSpasm with framerate-independent physics and other improvements: https://triptohell.info/moodles/qss/ - FTE QW, will let y…

There's also a fork with multiplayer support (to an extent): https://github.com/TES3MP/openmw-tes3mp OpenMW is great, played it a lot a couple of years ago. I love when games get f…

Lots (just some? most? I haven't really used it much) of FreeBSD system utilities are using libxo for output, so you can use e.g. ps --libxo json and get json output, or xml/html
