Oh holy shit, I haven’t thought about Castle of the Winds in decades! I gotta go play that right now.

Nae king!

With all the wildfire smoke in the air, I’m actually sorta interested in these now. I wonder if you can get em cheap.

Look, in today’s world the entire banking sector relies on private communications to operate using the Internet. Why can’t private citizens get the same?

If you got it, flaunt it.

There’s also Groovy. A data execution pipeline program I use called NextFlow uses Groovy based scripts.

And compiling for different architectures can be very difficult. I’ve done a lot of work Power9 computers and it’s not as simple as having the right compiler flags. Often the dependencies aren’t built for your platform either so you have to go and compile those too. It can be quite a hassle.

This is pretty sad to hear. Fairphone was next on my list of phones to try when my current phone gets too old. With the US boycott, I might have to go back to Samsung, but I hate the bloat.

It couldn’t perform simple commands that Google Assistant used to do, so I reverted. I liked the voice, but it’s really not an assistant yet.

Just make a $2 donation to their host. Much better than reddit gold.

It’ll email your grandmother all if your porn!

That’s a pretty big advantage actually. Thanks!

Hey, even memes can lead to learning opportunities!

So it opens the file in your editor, since you have read access to it. Then saves your changes to a temp file. Then when you close the editor it does a sudo mv tmpfile readfile?

I checked this by checking the file ownership when running touch myself. The file is owned by root. sudo nano myself also creates a file owned by root. sudoedit myself bitches at me not to run it in a writable directory.

sudoedit: myself: editing files in a writable directory is not permitted

So I ran it in a non-writable directory and the resulting file is still owned by root.

So is the advantage of sudoedit preventing a possible escalation of privileges situation?

Why memorize a different command? I assume sudoedit just looks up the system’s EDITOR environment variable and uses that. Is there any other benefit?

Logical partitions?

I think they’re showing off.

Probably, but I find user interfaces now don’t really have you go hunting through multiple dropdown menus, so it doesn’t hit the same.

I had one ‘Yeah’ from Yeah! for going through my start menu, and a different Yeah for when a program was selected. It was awesome.
