| 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) |

Nice sed(1) regex! It looks obvious after seeing it. (more) |

Command substitution `$(...)` already strips the trailing newline. You don't need `-n`.
See <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_06_03>.
Quoting POSIX:

A: Run pipeline in the background from git hook Use nohup(1), and redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/null The following works as expected, not having to wait until the PDF is generated. ```sh #!/bin/sh test "$1" = "refs/heads/main" || exit 0; cd /srv/src/alx/linux/man-pages/man-pages/; unset $(git rev-parse --local-env-vars); git ...

| Question | — |
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) |

A: How to RTFM well to get a CLI command The pager less(1) less(1) is the usual pager nowadays; you would do well learning to use it. It's also used for paging the manual pages, in most systems. The most common operation is searching, which is done by pressing `/`. Press `h` within the pager, or run `less --help` to read its help f... (more) |

Most shells don't provide manual pages for their built-ins like exit, but exit(1) is defined by POSIX (The Portable Operating System Interface), and there are POSIX manual pages.
On Debian:
```
$ apt-file find /exit.1;
fish-common: /usr/share/fish/man/man1/exit.1
manpages-posix: /usr/share/m... (more) |

Yes, as @Canina pointed out, I was trying to keep the Fixed font. I didn't check that other fonts had more sizes. It is indeed the simplest solution. (more) |

The winner to my taste has been `Lat15-Terminus32x16.psf.gz`.
Heh, only caveat is I prefer the Fixed font. But size matters! I wish there was a large version of it. :)
As you said, I don't trust passing the kernel a different resolution. (more) |
