Is there a name for oft-repeating content/post and the overall discussion on a given topic (dotfile management in this case) on HN?
I am not complaining about the repeat. It’s just that I find it very amusing to see different people kinda-sorta reinventing the wheel (and discussing the nuts and bolts) again.
Note that the design of the experiment needs to be able to disprove theory. That is to say if the results don’t match calculations then their theory is falsified and we make progress.
Most linux distributions come with python installed. Anything more than invoking a binary and redirecting the output? Just write it in (pure) python I say!
Edit: by pure Python, I mean don’t require any `pip install`s
I have read far too many ssh tunneling articles and all of them either forget about the bind address or just pretend that the only host that can be tunneled is localhost.
The fact is that ssh tunnels are bound to an interface on one side and the other can be any (reachable) host:port. So if example.com:1234 isn’t reachable from your host network, you can do a local port forward to example.com:1234 from an intermediary host that can reach example.com:1234
Heck, even today it’s the polite way to communicate with drivers and maids. Don’t answer the call, but immediately call back and ask them if everything is ok. They won’t call you if it’s not urgent and important.
Personally, I learnt my bash by reading a lot of Gentoo EBUILD scripts and config files. I can recognize other Gentoo users just by how many curly braces and double quotes I see in a simple one liner.
The one resource that I have bookmarked decades ago and would highly recommend to get the ball rolling are the TLDP pages on bash:
PoE is probably Power over Ethernet. With that you don’t have to worry about laying down electrical line to power the APs. The APs draw power from the Ethernet line itself
