Some people probably hate it, but I really enjoy the conversational format of these posts. Very novel and interesting way to bounce around a topic

The meaning can also be inferred from… the face.
Feeling yellow and looking down?
No idea what that's supposed to mean

Except the enterprise security industry is waging war on ssh keys and ssh/sshd.
What's wrong with ssh keys? Or ssh/sshd for that matter?
The main problem with SSH keys is that they are good at small scales, but at larger scales the abstractions start to be really leaky. Distributing SSH keys across hundreds of machines is a nontrivial task. Not to mention the lack of audit logging in opensshd and the lack of session recording (these requirements suck but acronym compliance means you need them anyways).
It's also kind of the wrong tool for the job anyways. I'd love to see tools that are more built to purpose for what you are _actually doing with the servers_ instead of giving people a REPL and telling them to go nuts.

#124I just always login as root. No sudo or other programs needed, no security vulnerabilities, no complexity. Clearly the most secure solution as it's widely known that using the setuid bit is a security problem.

The ironic part is that I didn't break any RSS readers! I broke URL parsers in chat apps, scp, and for command line arguments to `tailscale serve`.
I have a poem that I published which has a Japanese title (宝石の十字架). The journal that published it put that in the URL: https://www.invisiblecitylit.com/poetry/宝石の十字架/ and not surprisingly, many URL parsers don’t like the Japanese text.¹ I really need to get around to changing the link that I have in my publications list to use the URL encoded version of the title so that it's easier to share on systems that don’t lik…
Ahh, that is because that isn't a valid URI - it is an IRI.
The space of IRI implementations is quite sparse, mostly limited to browsers (and often rather spotty within the browsers as well). So a page hyperlink or paste into a browser bar will turn it into a URI behind the scenes, but it is unlikely another program or script will handle them.
In fact, I believe WHATWG defines that hyperlinks are URI, not IRI - so the generated HTML in this case by HN is not valid.
IRI are of dubious value - they exist in a space where users are expected to understand and evaluate the legitimacy of an identifier by sight. That said, this is about the best we have for web domains, so (for example) I think all major browsers do render internationalized domain names in their address bar.

#126reminds me of a colleague some years ago who often put emoji in his git commit messages.
There’s even a standard (of sorts): https://gitmoji.dev

A appreciate you 'describing' the emoji for me. I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart. Looks like a sad face to me. no different then the 500 other sad face emoji's I find. I'll stick with =(
If you don't already know, you can usually copy/paste to your favorite search engine and one of the first results is often the page explaining the unicode character, including those all-caps formal names of them.

Alternatively, a good chunk of my twitter feed would call this the bottom emoji, without attempting to give it a pronunciation. I don't think any particular pronunciation has consensus, but various groups of people imbue it different meanings.
as in gay bottom? first i've heard of that (as a gay internet person)

Ok, editded for you above: plain-text-obsessive ^^^^^^
Well, now we're gonna get nitpicky :) Unicode is plain text, therefore emoji are in the set qualified as "plain text." "ASCII text" may be more accurate.
oh pwease!
(actually, i thoroughly approve of quibbling.)
