if every "power user" application complexifies until it sprouts its own config and keybind and workspace+window+tab interface, complete with application-specific navigation keys and commands, at what point do you realize this common idiom is a basic unmet need in your computing environment?
i am... less than interested in replicating window manager functionality in the terminal... i get using a tiling wm or using tmux on their own, but together...
theres no raw terror like running up the stairs and hearing a cat sprinting behind you growing closer by the second
lmao people sayin they cant get a pregnancy test you can just go on the app store and download one for free idiots
TCP and the Berkely Sockets API should have included message chunking out-of-the-gate.
The very first thing anybody using TCP has to do is invent their own chunking. Every time. It's ridiculous.
Extremely shooting from the hip here, but it seems like TCP does a pretty excessive thing in terms of establishing fully-in-order communications. Which is to say: any Bob message will be correctly placed between two Alice messages.
What seems way more useful, and easier to accomplish, is half-in-order communications: all Bob messages will be in order, all Alice messages will be in order, but it is unspecified in what order Alice and Bob messages interleave.
For context, I am a pentester as my day job and it's not unusual for me to achieve catastrophic compromise of two or three different corporate networks in a single week. When it's not MS17-010 it's IBM WebSphere and HP DataProtector.
What I'm trying to do here is run my own networks securely, and I see no reason I should let any random intruder find out what services they can attack by portscanning.
@queerhackerwitch Kinda. I mean, it's not "hidden" from the admins of the box: it shows up in netstat. It's just hidden from people on the far side of the network. I kinda resent the notion that people on the far side of a network "have a right" to know what services you are running by default.
StackOverflow posts like "How do I turn this off" with answers like "Stop wanting to turn it off" EAT 100% OF MY ENTIRE ASS
I'm SO mad about computers sending ICMP Unreachable messages about closed UDP ports.
DON'T JUST GIVE AWAY WHAT PORTS YOU ARE USING

So folks, the #article13 and #linktax proposals will be going soon to the EU parlaiment, and if they pass they will become a serious problem for the #Fediverse:
* To automatically filter copyrighted materials, even badly, you need a way to reference those materials. Even our largest instances probably can't afford access!
* Our instances will not be able to afford licenses to link to news sites under the new #LinkTax rules.

Bed thoughts:
If I could make my own fediverse server software, it'd be called "Word Forest."
A post would be called a Leaf
a thread would be called a Branch
a server would be called a Tree!
And the whole network would be called The Forest!
Oh yeah, new servers?
They are called Saplings :3
The hell is this bullshit, MIT?
