wangman··on Terminal2Shell
Is this an advert for Talos Linux? :) https://www.siderolabs.com/blog/how-to-ssh-into-talos-linux
wangman··on Copy Fail
RedHat has also changed it to "Important severity" and "Affected" now.
wangman··on Cisco to acquire Isovalent
I guess the new CNCF Cilium Certified Associate (CCA) is a Cisco certification soon :)
wangman··on Charging My MacBook Air M1 with a Standard Mobile Phone USB Charger
I guess you'll have to deep in the apple cult to be amazed by other phone chargers. Power Delivery have been around for over 10 years, follow standards and have enough power and it charges.
wangman··on TinyWM – A tiny window manager in around 50 lines of C
Wow 82 sloc. That just way too much bloat.
wangman··on Omega2: $5 Linux Computer with Wi-Fi
wth! That page tells us nothing useful. The hardware headline has a picture of it, a pinout diagram and nothing more. What kind of hardware is it built with? What architecture is it? What's the wi-fi chip? Does it have good support? What libraries are you using? What distros are supported?

All I can see it that it's running busybox and a two year old kernel.

wangman··on Use Atom to edit in Chrome
What about Vimperator or Pentadactyl?
wangman··on Why use www?
Nice!

I would have gone for a simpler loop:

echo -e "sec\tmethod\turl";for url in {https,http}://{www.,}{en.wikipedia.org,{google,reddit,facebook,youtube,netflix,amazon,twitter,linkedin,msn}.com,google.co.in}; do curl -sL "$url" -w "%{time_redirect}\t${url%:}\t${url#//}\n" -o/dev/null; done|sort

wangman··on Why use www?
Thanks, it sure looks less ugly with -o/dev/null{,} I couldn't find any other way to get curl to stay silent and still output redirect times. Hence the crude hack. (Obviously my bash and curl versions had no problem with the spaces or I wouldn't have posted it)
wangman··on Why use www?
This is because reddit.com and www.reddit.com gets you the http-versions, which both are redirected to https

Try this: curl -sL https://{www.,}reddit.com -o\ /dev/null{,\ } -w "%{time_redirect}\n"

wangman··on Textract, a Python package for extracting text from any document
I also assumed that it was some kind of Python wrapper or implementation of Tesseract OCR when I saw that name. One would think so when Tesseract being (one of?) the best preforming OCR-programs out there.
wangman··on Negative Ships and Unlimited Money Postmortem
I'd rather have No-Ships and Unlimited Spice.
wangman··on Yogscast Kickstarter failure is a painful reminder of the risks of crowdfunding
"The Yogscast's Yogventures was the first Kickstarter I ever saw that set off alarm bells in my head" What? Was this also the first Kickstarter the article author ever saw?
wangman··on List of fictional computers
Yes both the Vinculum and the Central Plexus should on that list. The Vinculum is specifically described as a processing device whereas the Central Plexus might be more of a switchboard. (Edit: all this is VOY not TNG ofc)
wangman··on PirateBox 1.0
Can't you just switch on the Wifi-hotspot on your iPhone and connect together that way?
wangman··on Email Patterns for Web Apps
I agree. The e-mail patterns here are so different that I don't think they belong in the same article.
