I recommend that you minimize the amount of data you need on your computer, and use git for the few files that you still need. That way, you don't need to do this thing, which is painful. (more) |

Debian Sid is that thing for me. In some cases I must be cautious and not do some upgrade, but other than that, it's usually fine. I usually do `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -V`, which is fine (and that would usually be enough in Debian Stable). After that succeeds, in Sid you also ... (more) |

A: Why/how can distro support lifetimes exceed the lifetime of their dependencies (such as Python)? When an upstream project stops supporting a version (e.g., Python stops supporting 3.8), the maintainers of the distribution do the job of supporting those components, applying security patches as necessary. You can expect that their knowledge of the project isn't as comprehensive as that of the p... (more) |

Let's say I send you some private message, let's say a bug report about a vulnerability.
Now, Mallory wants to read that message, and also your reply to it. He may take that message, add himself as Cc (AFAIK, the Cc field is not a protected field; see `crypt_protected_headers_read` in *muttrc*(5)... (more) |

| Question | — |
Can a malicious party add false recipients (who are listed but can't really decrypt) to an encrypted GPG message? In gpg(1), one normally adds recipients of an encrypted message with `--recipient`. Those recipients will be able to decrypt the message, and their key ID will appear unencrypted, so anyone will know that they are able to decrypt it. gpg(1) also allows adding hidden recipients, with `--hidden-rec...

Interesting! Unfortunately, I don't. It's within a release tarball. To be able to run `make dist` from within that tarball, I need to be able to list the files, but release tarballs don't have .git (and shipping an empty git repository within the tarball would be very fishy). (more) |

How to use the gitignore file without git(1). How can a file list be manually filtered with a gitignore file. I want to do the equivalent of `git ls-files`, but it should work even if I remove `.git`, so I can't use git(1). Currently, I'm doing ```sh find . -not -type d \ | grep -v ^.git$ \ | grep -v other-files-specified-in-the-giti... (more) |

Command substitution `$(...)` already strips the trailing newline. You don't need `-n`.

Quoting POSIX:

Run pipeline in the background from git hook I'm trying to run a pipeline to update a PDF after every push to the 'main' branch. I want it to be atomic, so it doesn't touch the existing PDF until it has finished, so I need to use sponge(1) (from moreutils). I've tried the following script: ```sh #!/bin/sh test "$1" = "refs/heads/main... (more) |
