    That is what multicast was meant to address. Sadly, it did not catch on.

    The potential for burglars to get in through windows is a huge attack vector. And yet we lock our door.

    Hopefully he doesn't also think that a totem pole is a guy from Poland who looks after a totem. :-)

    Perhaps the append() also returns void. I've seen this kind of bug uncaught by gcc exactly because of that.

    Work through ansible and manage your local ansible.log however you wish.

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I have only used ImageMagick lightly, for e. g. resizing or merging simple bitmaps, and I never found it lacking. However, I recognize that there …
