I mean yes if you're going to be serious about building a binary repository then higher-level tools like reprepro to track packages and their versions in different suites so that you get auto cleanup of old versions and easy metadata signatures are definitely useful, but they're absolutely not required.

A deb/rpm repository isn't much more than that. You dump packages in a directory and run a single command to extract the metadata into an index file. 'createrepo' or its C reimplementation for rpm, 'dpkg-scanpackages' for deb. That's all that's *required*. You then export said directory over http or mount it and you can install these packages with all the dependency tracking.

more than just a beautiful mug
my friend started making these gorgeous mugs with the goal of creating a beautiful pottery mug a friend with Parkinson's could still easily hold, but she noticed it's just in general very pleasant to use
It's comfortable and relies on balance more than grip strength. She makes the top handle different on each one so you can find your best fit.
another example about how accessibility and beauty can easily commingle
Well, kind of, what totally put me off COBOL though is its verbosity.
No, 'a = b+2'. In COBOL, you say 'ADD 2 TO b GIVING a'.
No, 'a = b', either. Instead, you say 'MOVE b TO an
Etc etc etc, the list goes on. I mean, if I want to write a novel, I'll use English rather than COBOL, thank you.
Not as religiously (in multiple senses of that word) as some of the people around me, but yes
You can drop the 'personally' part in that last sentence. Not only were you not alone in that, I have yet to find a person who *is* able to tell them apart without looking up the details, myself included.
#Holos currently limits posts to 4 media attachments, 4 poll options, and disallows polls with media to match Mastodon's UI. However, these restrictions don't exist in ActivityPub itself. We'll be removing these artificial limits soon. Other servers (Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey) already support more media, more poll options, and polls with attachments. There's no technical reason to restrict what the protocol explicitly allows.
Took me a while to recognise it as a rabbit. I thought it was a very weird dog, at first 😂
OOI, how many command line options to curl have ever been removed? If you keep that statistic, of course.
Also, you can totally still leave a note saying that you had parked your car at the EV charger in the way needed for your car and that triggered the geofencing... If it happens enough and they keep having to come out to unlock it, I'm sure they'll catch on eventually!
