@venthur @dondelelcaro it would seem that adding a REST API to debbugs would be a better use of time. With lots of debbugs consumer experience, you could do a lot of the design work, even without Perl experience to implement it

this struck me as pretty thoughtful

@werdahias interesting, thanks

Puzzled why this is in heavy rotation at the moment. Was it in a TV show? https://pleroma.debian.social/notice/Agwj6cuUZBACNOMkQC

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.

FIPS is a four-letter word.

Oh wow I got a commit into GHC and didn't notice until now: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/e817c8713df6055ef56a5c0271a0accd94f9c967

New blog post: a bug a day https://jmtd.net/log/a_bug_a_day/ #software #debian

@sil @mavit if you set an alias, such as alias editor=whatever, it has the advantage of no $ prefix, *and* it won’t be used in non interactive context (debconf, shell scripts you run that inherit environment, etc)

alias please=sudo

can anyone recommend any literature/“print” focussed SF blogs?

This morning's "sprint music" is Bone Music by Ad·ver·sary https://adversary.bandcamp.com/album/bone-music

I haven't listened to this in over 10 years. It looks like Ad·ver·sary didn't last much longer which is a shame.

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