I'm surprised that broadcast TV is used as a basis for this. It's not a topic with which I'm familiar, but I would have guessed that it was only slightly more popular than Fax and that it would have faded out is most of the world.

Installing to /usr/local is not only simple and convenient—it's also what most build scripts do by default unless you specify otherwise.

For a lot of tools, I find that writing a port can be almost as little work and installing it manually. With the added bonus that the package manager will then track its dependencies and that I can share the port with other users of the distro.

Alpine makes this particularly easy thanks to the simplicity behind its APKBUILD files. BSDs usually have relatively simple recipe format too (although not as simple as APKBUILD or PKGBUILD tbh).

They are enforced with neither human nor AI review, so the reality is that we don't know. They are enforced by virtue of who submits them, with no question on whether they are valid or not.

Having heard from friends the kind of censorship they face on the topic on Facebook and Instagram when discussing the topics at hand, I know of plenty of situations where people were censored without breaking any rules. They're a small sample of course.


If we're making breaking changes to the default CSS styles, I wish we'd include default styles for dark mode as well.

Mainly, I'd love for pages without any CSS to render in dark mode when the system+browser are set to dark mode.


They do if you include <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">

Even if they rolled out to 100% of the users on day 1, you'd sill have an heterogeneous audience with all the folks using older versions of Firefox. It likely takes (at least) many months before 99% of Firefox users upgrade to a any specific release.

Any subdomain of .localhost works out-of-the-box on Linux, OpenBSD and plenty of other platforms.

Of note, it doesn't work on macOS. I recall having delivered a coding assignment for a job interview long ago, and the reviewer said it didn't work for them, although the code all seemed correct to them.

It turned out on macOS, you need to explicitly add any subdomains of .localhost to /etc/hosts.

I'm still surprised by this; I always thought that localhost was a highly standard thing covered in the RFC long long ago… apparently it isn't, and macOS still doesn't handle this TLD.


It's easy to be tricked into thinking macOS supports it, because both Chrome and Curl support it. However, ping does not, nor do more basic tools like Python's request library (and I presume urllib as well).

No, not here.


This usually happens because you have a Linux setup that doesn't use systemd-resolved and it also doesn't have myhostname early enough in the list of name resolvers. Not sure how many Linux systems default to this, but if you want this behavior, adjust your NSS configuration, most likely.

Just did that on my mac and it seems to work?

    $ ping hello.localhost
    PING hello.localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.057 ms
    64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.162 ms

That's because your DNS server sends back 127.0.0.1. The query isn't resolved locally.

Not for me, MacOS 15.4:

    $ ping hello.localhost
    ping: cannot resolve hello.localhost: Unknown host

I think I had mixed results on mac depending on the network I was connected to. I think it has something to do with ipv4 vs ipv6

Ironically for me it works on my MacOS laptop but not on my Debian 12 VPS

I am doing this on macOS with no problem.

With 8109 employees and US$13 billion in revenue, it's hard to believe that high prices are simply because costs have gone up and it's hard to stay afloat.

Revenue is meaningless without considering profit margin.

The `.Fl` macro identifies flags in mdoc, so what you're asking for is perfectly doable.

This approach discards all mark-up, which bat tries to re-build with some heuristics. It works for the basic case, but not beyond that.Subsections get mangled (see sway-ipc as an example). Links disappear completely of course, since they don't even reach bat.

Asciidoc doesn't support links in man pages. It can only link to URLs. If you check the repo which you linked, you'll see they use some perl code to actually inject links.
