FVO readable for future me, it’s not so bad. I don’t have to worry about other people so much. :)

Sure. Nothing stopping you writing readable well commented perl. Just avoid some of the more terse statements. It can be a challenge though.

Shrug. If you don’t like Perl, don’t use it.

It certainly has its issues. I find that the things people have trouble with are the things I tend to like about it. Of course, reading it later is a problem sometimes. :)

Write only language!

I still reach for it sometimes.

heheh. I wasn’t really making an argument though

perl -e 'print "fart\n" if 1;'

Argument?

It’s kinda natural to me having used Perl a lot.

Unless you use zram. Compressing pages is pretty useful as an intermediate stage.

I don’t think that applies since /* will just glob out to all the filenames in /

Wouldn’t the authentication API provided by your DNS host be the ACME server?

Yeah. For wildcard DNS from letsencrypt, you can’t do HTTP validation, only DNS, which involves creating a TXT record.

Your DNS provider needs to run an ACME server, which runs an API that’ll add the required TXT records on request.

As I understand it.

Not all dns providers support acme, I’ve discovered to my recent annoyance. The one I use at work, for instance.

Market cap? Which stock symbol is it? 😉

ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!

Huh… mine has that, too. I feel like I haven’t given FF that permission. Maybe I loaded a map app at some point, but I don’t recall.

I hope they’re not doing that maliciously.

Remember it spawning a bunch of copycats? For a while every community had their own code block. I wrote one for a usenet group i was in at the time.

alt.sysadmin and alt.sysadmin.recovery both had em iirc…

At one point I rebuilt a server by fully abandoning the package database and reinstalling everything as overwrites. Converted a slackware install into a Debian install in situ by cannibalizing it from the inside out. Pretty proud of that one, even 20 years later.

edit: oh gods… more like 24.

Debian stable, I guess, has both people sleeping on cruise control. Fine until it stops being fine, and then a flurry of activity.

Edit: or maybe a train. Boring, except for updates and dist upgrades.

Redhat 1997. Slackware, Storm Linux, then Debian 2001 to present. A brief year on the OSS Solaris release.
