The list is about Video Game Randomizers, so maybe not.
spyc··on New make --shuffle mode
Exactly.
spyc··on Elon Musk accused of turning Twitter offices into bedrooms
Where is the "chance" part in that picture? Are you saying you envy a chance of burnout?
spyc··on Elon Musk accused of turning Twitter offices into bedrooms
If that's truthful news, it is truly disgusting. Maybe helps some fanboys of Elon to finally wake up.

spyc··on Pidgin: The Universal Chat Client
The OMEMO plug-in for Pidgin is named "lurch" and has it's home at https://github.com/gkdr/lurch .
spyc··on Wipeout (PSX and Windows Source)
For the record, "none" means "all rights reserved"
spyc··on Tell HN: There needs to be a “right to speak with a human”
My personal worst hit list in this space:

- Companies that will not even listen to your (serious) bug reports if you don't have an account with them. Looking at you suddenlink.net. Failed big time, gave up.

- Voice robots that do not understand users, despite being native speakers

- Voice robots that do not understand non-native speakers

spyc··on Firefox now only available via snap on Ubuntu
One more reason to add to list "Why I recommend Debian over Ubuntu by now" (https://blog.hartwork.org/posts/why-i-recommend-debian-over-...).
spyc··on Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers
Meld rocks, thanks for making Meld Software Libre!
spyc··on EU to make it mandatory to use customer-replaceable batteries in household items
Yes! Smart phones and notebooks should never have been allowed to go fixed internal battery. I hope they are included with this, or right next.
spyc··on Tell HN: YouTube is banning accounts that support Ukraine
We need to accept that why exactly?
spyc··on Tell HN: GitHub no longer supporting unauthenticated `git://`
Dropping git:// is awesome!

Roy, thank you for being an activate part of the free software community, thank you for dhcpcd and being nice to work with, thank you for everything!
spyc··on EBPFSnitch: An eBPF based Linux Application Firewall
Could you elaborate why that's critical to have?
spyc··on EBPFSnitch: An eBPF based Linux Application Firewall
I don't see any port-based firewalling options in the firejail documentation from a quick look. So I'm not sure if firejail helps the same use case as EBPFSnitch.
spyc··on EBPFSnitch: An eBPF based Linux Application Firewall
Reminds me of good old Kerio Personal Firewall on Windows back in the 90s. If the UI gets some more love, I see ebpfsnitch take off like a rocket :)
spyc··on Debian Packages That Need Lovin'
You have some points here, but the Bash part is _not_ the problem. Bash is everywhere and the true fix to that bit is to learn Bash: It's not hard and I benefit from my Bash skills everyday, it's one of the best things to invest even a bit in. Just don't write "actual software" in Bash.
spyc··on Debian Packages That Need Lovin'
I have packaged for both Debian and Gentoo; packaging for Gentoo is way easier and more fun, one reason being that (simplified) you're dealing with a single Bash file rather than a magic Makefile and things split into 20+ small files. The difference is huge.
spyc··on Debian Packages That Need Lovin'
You have a point here: I have made that^^ the new default sort order now.
spyc··on Debian Packages That Need Lovin'
Column "owner" is the owner of the related issue (bug tracker ticket), not the owner of the package.

Packaging Eclipse is something that _any_ distro will have a hard time with, and for good reasons, given the number of jars involved here.
spyc··on Replacing Ansible with salt-ssh
Good point, thanks for bringing it up! I have updated the article accordingly just now.
spyc··on Replacing Ansible with salt-ssh
Some cool hacks here, thanks for sharing!
spyc··on Replacing Ansible with salt-ssh
The article uses with_list rather than with_items but even with with_items, that syntax would be working and define {{ item }} fine.

Please check the docs of with_list at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks... .

spyc··on Git: Deletion of merged branches taken beyond shell hacks
Careful with "git branch -D" — it's a sharp knife.
spyc··on Git: Deletion of merged branches taken beyond shell hacks
Yes. See "Process Substitution" in "man bash". It works great, e.g. with diff (or meld):

  # diff -u <(echo $'one\ntwo') <(echo one)
