    Doesn’t look like “yes, but” language to me. Looks like the code is plain old MIT and the author is doing their due diligence with respect to vendored content in the repository sub…

    Looks like that’s a list of films from the 1930s (the whole decade). Four of the listed films are from 1930 if you sort by release date.¹ ¹ https://www.imdb.com/list/ls000050037/?s…

    WebDAV support is nice to save money, but from a privacy perspective it’s a huge bummer that the sync servers get all your citation metadata. A better self-hosting story¹ is one pa…

    Can’t believe I never thought of piping info output, but of course it works as a Unix utility should. Nicely parallels the dual HTML versions

    In the replies, the author writes: > I literally did not know info pages existed for the first 15 years I used GNU tools, and I've still never used one A bit of irony: the link and…

    And much like “man man”, “info info” is a good place to start :)

    Makes sense. I should give Builder a try sometime. Thanks for your work!

    It seems to me we’re seeing something of a native GNOME application renaissance, both core and third-party, buoyed by GTK 4 and Flatpak (as well as the trend towards immutable base…

    There’s a proposal for Matrix on the associated mailing list from Element people: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/mimi/jvyvyJwgUhNgFyNYm...

    If you configure annex.largefiles, git add should work with the annex. I start with something like git annex config --set annex.largefiles 'largerthan=1kb and not (mimeencoding=us-…

    Ikiwiki’s definitely a bit weird, but I’ve been experimenting with git-annex recently and it worked fine every time I commented. Seems like it’s chugging along: https://git-annex.b…

    Can you elaborate on why you would want two worktrees set to the same branch? I think if I were trying to compare two approaches involving incompatible changes, creating a branch f…

    You're not getting old; this is a real nuisance. That said, and to add onto the other reply, you're in luck: OpenSSH 8.8p1 includes support¹ for setting TERM in your SSH config wit…

    Can you view relative links (for footnotes) in Elfeed? That hasn't been my experience.

    I can’t quite tell if you think this system is reasonably effective or not. It certainly seems less invasive, so it would be good if it were. Are you able to comment on that? > You…

    This validates my LaTeX usage, but honestly, can’t you only detect it if I’m using Computer Modern? I am, precisely because of people like you, but I don’t think you could tell a X…

    Does rebooting help with soft errors in non-ECC RAM? I would have thought bit flips would be transient in nature, but I'm not really familiar.

    I just got a Kobo and went with Plato[1] over KOReader and it's been great for my purposes so far. Fewer features, but it has everything I need and performs even better than KORead…
