What do you think about the idea of heuristically detecting passwords in log lines and sanitising them? OTOH, I worry about it making people more complacent about putting passwords in not-safe places. On the other, there are some circumstances where it's hard to avoid.

Refactoring pipelines into awk => moving things awkward

@BraveRobynArt accessing discord via Pidgin/libpurple hides much of the rubbish but I suspect that route is on borrowed time

@joeyh I mentioned the still-useful pipeline evolution grep->awk->perl in a lobsters comment recently and someone responded “why not raku”? I’d never bothered to look at Raku for full programs (where I’ve long displaced perl anyway) but for pipelines, I might give it a look.

@StrangeNoises @mcc @ShadSterling @QuaternionCats bash has the rather more prosaic “command” to do the same thing

Hang on is Mario Italian or Bostonian

@cstross @stevel they used to throw that in with edu purchases, but I don’t think they do anymore (mind you I’m not advocating for the pub hustle in either case)

I haven't managed to get WoL working with Thinkpad X1 Carbon G11 + Thunderbolt 4 dock, but I have with the same laptop +laptop configuration and the TB3 dock.

@foone this is the perfect time to transition to a new main branch name!
