I’ve found that the Canonicalize-family of options are my best friends.

CanonicalizeHostname yes
CanonicalizeFallbackLocal no
CanonicalizeMaxDots 0

This allows me to do stuff like

Host *.domain.tld
    User ansible
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/ansible

Host host1 host2 host3
    HostName %h.domain.tld

Such a setup allows me to not rely on the system resolver for hostname lookups. It works by canonicalizing hostnames and then re-reading the configuration file. You can see how this is done with -v and how options are applied. But most importantly, it allows me to easily overwrite the default options for some hosts. Something that does not “just works” without the CanonicalizeHostname option.

Host gerrit.domain.tld
    User birkelund
    Port 29418
    KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

WTF? You have to sign in to read medium articles now? Do they think this will make me read more articles? Sigh, another domain for the shit list.

(Nobody else complaining out of politeness? Or you all signed up already? Or did I just win the A/B lottery?)

(So it seems to come and go. When I’m “lucky”, it says “you’ve already read one article this month. Sign in to read more. Sign in with Google. Sign in with Facebook. Sign in…” but there’s no way to avoid signing in. Switch browsers, no popup.)

I suggested a title change for the link to add (2014) to it…

They have a StartCom SSL cert on ipfs.io.

My research group runs our entire grid computing (that is, a “cloud” for you young ones) infrastructure from a LackRack in an old bathroom. We’re poor I guess.

Now to wait for the sidebar patch to be finished for 1.6…

karelzak’s patched version of mutt adds notmuch integration making it stupidly fast, even with huge mailboxes. It’s based on the development version, so I think everything in upstream v1.6 is included.

Copenhagen, Denmark.

What is this feature? I don’t see it plugged in to anything, but maybe I suck at searching:

OpenBSD

OpenSSH

EDIT: Now that the patch went out I can see why my search wasn’t working. s/UseRoaming/use_roaming/

This is extremely interesting! I’d like to take a look at the diff–anyone have a link? Given the succinctness of the plege interface, I assume its minimal, but strategic.

Someone please explain this one. I’m going crazy.

edit: BTW - same behaviour on python3 (3.4.4).

This is a great showcase for httpd(8) actually. I don’t think I’m the only one who has fought a fight with nginx or apache to get cgit running nicely.

Very nice. The lobste.rs interface isn’t too bad on mobile already, but I’d love a native implementation. Great work and I look forward to testing out the beta.

Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good is also worth mentioning here then :)

I’ve found a couple of good papers via lobste.rs, so I thought I’d share a paper I chose for a reading group in case others are interested.
