    chroot doesn't nest, there is only one chroot active for a given process at a given moment. If you're inside a chrooted environment and call chroot on a subdirectory without enteri…

    AFAIK it only worked with optical drives, not pendrives. I've spent hours trying to get this functionality on my pendrives back in the day, to no avail (thankfully!). It was on Win…

    Something akin to "uBlock Origin CNAME uncloaking now supports filtering by IP address" should be fine.

    Comment #41771561

    The title seems to be wrong, uBlock Origin supported it for many years at this point (only on Firefox). This seems to be a refactor of that code, not a whole new feature.

    It's usually run as a local web application with the browser running on the same machine as the backend, though it's possible to bind it to non-localhost interfaces.

    Sounds very similar to the paid data processing opt-out Facebook does now. That actually might be an interesting case.

    One more point I'd add to (2): given its massive inertia / network effect, the tooling and the resources are leagues ahead of everything else. I'm using Darcs for a few personal pr…

    This works only under the assumption Github won't change the current DNS setup that happens to work this way. A trivial example would be adding a record for the specific subdomain …

    A minor correction: it's usually preferable to apply commits with `git am` instead of `git apply`, as it applies the commit with all its metadata, not just the diff.

    This missing piece of information would be essentially `git reflog`, except it's not something Git sends between the clones.

    Yes, C-x 5 0 is safe, but I often use my window manager's keybinding for closing a window instead. Customizing confirm-kill-emacs sounds like a great idea, I'll consider it, thanks…

    TMSU is the only such system I found useful without being cumbersome. After years of trying to use Git Annex, it was refreshing that TMSU doesn't alter the files in any way, merely…
