    Maybe. This phenomenon of security holes being found closely to each other was also common before LLMs. People attention gets directed to a place and typically more issues are gett…

    This is how keychains should be designed. Never return the secret, but mint a new token, or sign a request. We need this also for normal usage like development environments. Or whe…

    Gerrit is doing this with NoteDB. Backups are just one git clone away. See https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/note-db...

    This should have been CONTRIBUTING.md all along. The content of the AGENTS.md is the same as what humans are looking for when contributing to a project.

    Yes, you can target VMDK, AMIs, Azure, ... `nixos-rebuild build-image --image-variant vmware` See https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-image-nixos-rebui...

    That I wasn't very good at Rust :-D My assumption was that a tool like this will make it easier to keep the README.md in sync while the project evolves. Think of a `--help` section…
