@suihkulokki ah good!
I recently bought an 8bitdo keyboard which comes with a pair of large “Mashable” programmable buttons. I mapped them to shift+ctrl+c and v, which works in my terminal and several apps which want ctrl+c and ignore the extra shift. They are surprisingly handy! Sadly Firefox didn’t.

Happy 12th anniversary to my last blog post complaining about “persistent” network interface names in Linux. https://jmtd.net/log/puppet_and_interface_names/
Back then, the scheme to guarantee persistence had been changed for the third time.
Today I read the (excellent) Debian trixie release notes, which warn that interface names may change on upgrade…

@sre4ever thank you for your suggestions! I've copied them to issues here (where I will track bugs and features for the service): https://salsa.debian.org/chronicles-team/chronicles.debian.org/-/issues

@sxa @kittylyst for me, and it could be that my experience is not more widely representative: I generally find Perl programs to be self-contained, and Python ones to have a dependency hell to navigate. That really impacts their readability and maintainability. Oh, and a Perl script written 20 years ago generally works today; the same can not be said for Python.
@sxa yum perl pie. I uesd to do that a lot :-) The starting point of my modern perl scripts is invariably the core loop that -pie provides (while(<>) {...)
@sxa I might write a blog post about this
@mjg59 I loved his “sustainability” book. It would be great if someone updated it or wrote something spiritually similar with today’s numbers.
