If it ain't fun, you're not doing it right.

You're welcome ๐Ÿ˜‰

What I found most 'interesting' in this article is that you don't need to reprogram your keyboard to send out a copy or paste key code. You can just use xmodmap or similar to reprogram your keys, no difference in your hardware required!

So I see now that my second message may make the first message not look sarcastic. This was not the intent.

Writing code to spew out BER/DER is every bit the nightmare you would think it is.

The fact that I somehow did that while managing to not make me want to go get high or drunk (or both) to forget my troubles should not in any way or form be construed as me thinking BER is great.

At least it wasn't XER ๐Ÿ˜…

... or a fascist themselves at heart

@rk
Honestly, I made it look quite elegant if you only looked at the file that *used* the functions and ignored derencode.c

@rk
I dunno, I wrote something to spew out some BER code once and it was not a nightmare.

Not at all.

@RichiH
I suspect it's to do with the local format license plate having mounting holes in locations where you can't drive screws in the car. Would that be an accurate assessment?

And perl.

I've recently bought myself a Bluetooth keyboard so I can do some hacking on my tablet on an upcoming 20 hour red eye flight...

Belgium is boring, everything is metric.

Except, of course, for air traffic, because there we do try to be compatible with those weird American feet. But hey.

I'm 47 and I say, wait 10 more years before you do ๐Ÿ˜‚

There is a 'general' pseudo package which, if used, ends up on the debian-devel mailing list where it is then triaged.

However, it tends to attract the type of bug report that goes "it doesn't work" which is not actionable and better served through other support channels. This is why reportbug encourages you to try those first instead of the general package.

In this case though, it is warranted to use general. You know the bug, just not the package.

No stress. Venting is an important part of keeping your head on straight ๐Ÿ˜‰

Link to the book?

I've been self hosting my own email too, for decades, but it's never a bad idea to learn from others!
@mwl

@pare
The first step to get that done is, use 'reportbug' to make people aware.

Both seem like things that should be fixed, IMO.

Extrepo requires a new merge request and then an 'extrepo update' by the user. There is still some room for improvement there, though.

@mirabilos
Can you send in an MR for extrepo-data please? ๐Ÿ˜‰

I suppose the alliterations probably have something to do with it.

Why is it banana bread but carrot cake? It's basically the same thing.

@m
Several times. Yes, that is not something you do overnight. My procedure there is, set up the new server as a secondary MX (but don't listen on it, yet) and update the SPF record to also mark it as a valid source, then wait a month for the reputation to catch up before switching over.

I need that much time to switch everything else over, anyway.

@azonenberg that sounds like you need to put the intermediate in the trust store, and not the root?
