practical_lem··on SSH hacks – a little sanity for remote workers
For those tasks I just use sshfs. I keep a ~/n/${host} directory where I access remote files like they were on my machine.
practical_lem··on Why Google Did Android
Source? I could understand (!) `reboot` (with backticks) evaluated by mistake inside a shell script; but still reboot needs high privileges.
practical_lem··on Ask HN: Is it worth it to move to London as a SWE?
After Brexit are they going to move the island like in Lost?
practical_lem··on Rob Pike on good commit messages (2014)
It isn't "some google group", it's the golang-dev mailing list.
practical_lem··on Is It a ‘5’ or a ‘6’? The Answer Could Make an Art Fortune
I think a better comparision would be a manuscript about calculus. If it was produced before Newton/Leibniz it's remarkable, otherwise well... who cares?
practical_lem··on Ask HN: What is the most beautiful piece of code you've ever read?
Pike's code should be studied in schools.
practical_lem··on British ISP Lobbyists Backtrack on Calling Mozilla a Villain for DNS-over-HTTPS
That's a great news! Thank you.
practical_lem··on British ISP Lobbyists Backtrack on Calling Mozilla a Villain for DNS-over-HTTPS
To be honest, I think that DNS-over-HTTPS is pretty awkward. (I use DNS-over-TLS, by the way).

Also, we still have the problem with the unencrypted SNI after the name is resolved.

practical_lem··on Living without the modern browser
After a workday, I used to be repelled by using a computer. I started to use it again when I uninstalled Firefox. Now I just use elinks for basic stuff and I'm happy again to hack or just use a computer again, instead of a bloated web browser.

If I want to do "fancy" things, like book a flight, I just do that on the iPad.
