    Hopefully no one else cuts their plants in half. Experts only… but seriously, in an epistemological sense; many popular topics today are just like talking about the nature of trees.

    The universe’s resiliency allows for contradictory stuff to be practical, or at least appear generalizable on the long–tail and convincingly so. Bananas are indeed fascinating.

    Some SSH options are worth tweaking when directly distributing code with git to multiple remotes. ConnectTimeout and BatchMode (optionally for automation). ControlMaster enables multiplexing for session sharing via sockets.

    cfg
    ForwardX11 no
    Compression no
    ConnectTimeout 3
    ServerAliveCountMax 1
    ServerAliveInterval 10
    
    Host *
      ControlMaster auto
      ControlPersist yes
      ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%r@%h-%p
    An example ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh/ssh_config

    %r@%h-%p translates to user@hostname-22.

    Did you know that cPanel has a back end user–space API? I’ve yet to see a web front end user dashboard that’s reliable and consistent.

    I saw something peculiar the other day. Hallucination? The microsoft.com domain was serving up 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.1 as A records in a 7 address round robin.

    That’s a spooky reminder to check your rebinding setup — that is, if you’re playing with fire ().

    For example, unbound with private-address and private-domain. Then test if DNS rebinding is possible.

    Are the caches warmed up? vmtouch and fincore are two useful programs.

    What do they do? Basically, one can peek at what’s been cached into memory. I somehow ended up re–looking into this today. The Linux kernel is intelligent.

    Rule #1 of finding technical feeds; type ‘OPML’ into GitHub search. GitHub is like a social network for software engineers and I’m a conservationist of time.

    Many fortnights ago, I foolishly thought writing a theme from scratch would be easy. It was mostly unlike GTK2. About 40 minutes in came a horrifying realization: there’s fundamentally (and definitively) no way to write a consistent theme that works reliably with every application. The minor upside was a working (and somewhat accessible) wireframe theme and a basic understanding of debugging. The end.
