no, journalists, $SBC_COSTING_5X_RPI is not a "competitor" or an "alternative" to a Raspberry Pi

is it just me, or is there something a bit off about the name "JetBrains"? like, yes, i totally want to use this thing that implies grey matter being expelled at sufficient speed to generate thrust

"I was with a busload of people who are ufologists, who believe in aliens. I personally don't. I believe in UFOs, but that's not hard to do. That's unidentified flying objects. This is all it takes to believe in one of them: 'There's something in the sky. I don't know what that is.' No need to start a website."
changing the font metrics of your fonts out from under you when you do a package update? that's just rude, void...

"""
Since the syslog component of systemd, journald, does not flush its logs to disk during normal operation, these logs will be gone when the machine is shut down abnormally (power loss, kernel lock-ups, ...). In the case of kernel lock-ups, it is pretty important to have some kernel logs for debugging. Until journald gains a configuration option for flushing kernel logs, rsyslog can be used in conjunction with journald.

Hey hackers, @schlink and I need to catch up with that the state-of-the-art is in password cracking these days.
I'm not so interested in parallelization & GPU/ASIC assist, as I am in techniques to reduce the search space by knowing things about the generation & complexity of the original passwords.
Pointers welcome!

also, is there a handy list of apps sticking with GTK2 indefinitely?
