I'm not a license connoiseur. Why does GPL present a problem? (Not trying to be conentious, it's a genuine question.)

GPLv3 is a "strong copyleft" license. It comes with some significant pros and cons compared to more permissive licenses like MIT and BSD. You can find more about the philosophy behind it here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy As the author, a benefit it offers you is protection against someone selling your work or a derivative of it, or redistributing it with added restrictions. From a user's perspective, the main down…

Anyone is welcome to sell GPL'd work, also someone else's GPL'd work, as long as the license remains GPL and source code is available to the buyers of the work, under the GPL, if you distribute the software to them. If you don't (i.e. SaaS, you run the software, it is never distributed further) then you don't have to give the source to anybody! This is what the AGPL was created to address.

Message to the person responsible for the site: they should use code blocks instead of images for their code. I say this because I can't read the text inside the images from mobile. It's way too small.

I'm responsible. I need to revise those, and images seemed like the way to get colorization right. I'll try to figure out how to do it with code blocks, it will hopefully be more maintainable. Cutting/pasting images is ridiculous.

I suspect Pygments will be to your liking.

That’s really interesting; how do you use powershell in that context? I’m assume it isn’t just Here’s FOIA request for the output of the command find /home/jbiden -name “*secret*doc” haha.

It was most notably helpful in litigation against the White House Office of Management and Budget. Was suing for one week of email metadata records (to, from, CC, bcc, time, date) in the last week of Jan 2017. They said that they had no way to complete the request. So we sent them multiple one liners that extracts the info from outlook 365, which pipes it to a csv export command. They told us that they didn't run tha…

Cool

I’m not sure this would be the way to go, but it’d be awesome if most Unix command-line tools had a way to accept and output JSON objects.

libxo has gone some way towards making that a reality in FreeBSD.

That sounds like a joke from archer:

White House: We can’t do that.

Litigator: Can’t or won’t?

White House: either!
