@ticky That's actually GNU living up to the "GNU's Not Unix" moniker. :3c

FreeBSD basename actually works as expected in all three examples instead of keeling over the way GNU basename does without the -a switch.

I was reminded that PHP is still the only programming language in which a version deployed into production gave "Hello, world!" at least one RCE vulnerability. The one I have in my notes is CVE-2012-1823.

I'm not the only one who uses and customizes xterm. I am absolutely delighted. :3

@softgoat They're supposed to help with multitasking in the brain sense by organizing windows into separate piles. I don't know how useful or effective it is because it's been an age since I tried one.

After hand-patching and creating a new diff comes getting it to compile in clang.

Because absolutely NOTHING I do to the Imakefile is creating Makefiles with "CC = gcc" in them. No matter what, they're all "CC = cc", which is clang's C compiler.

The patch file is a unified diff that contains at least one unified diff nested within.

I sure hope patch processes files in lines from first to last, because that's how I'm making and skipping the hand-editing. :/

If we're going to reuse nonces in WPA2, then we need a way to better verify their integrity. Thankfully, my favorite rag, Hacking Gibsons, was on it four years ago. :V

@MissMacSee Please consider a trans friendly instance before swearing off Mastodon. Your story is not the first I've heard about the dot-social instance.

@kibi Qwerty is so inefficient your layout is almost guaranteed to be at least a little better.

xcalpr.c:89:21: error: initializer element is not constant
static FILE *fout = stdout;

Everything I'm reading says that hasn't been valid C since before ANSI standardization way back in the '80s.

Oh, duh. The Debian package page has a diff file downloaded separately, and some of them are patches to the C files fixing the compiler error I'm getting. Guess I should read it, edit the source, and re-diff them.

The latest date in xcal's CHANGES file is 1995-09-13.

I don't. Using cpp6 installed by the gcc package works.

@ticky Ruby's decisions about how to encode strings and when the default encodings are overridden mystify me. The String and Encoding class docs barely help me at all.
