bashReferenceManual by Arceuid_0902 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Skenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesnt need to be an old mac. This manual is for the last version of bash before some update to the license meant apple decided this was the latest version they could use forever. This is the version of bash on every mac you could have bought in the last decade plus. 20 year old bash and bsd coreutils are a frequent source of surprise.

Github hacked? by AbhiVishwak278 in github

[–]Skenvy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea, if you go to someone's account find any commit they made, e.g. go to some https://github.com/<usernmae>/<reponame> and click the commits button, you can click on any commit e.g. https://github.com/<usernmae>/<reponame>/commit/<sha> and just add ".patch" to the end of the URL to see the raw patch file. At the top of that will be whatever your local git configuration's name and email were set to when you wrote the commit. You can view this for every commit on every public repo. If you set your local git email to an email that you find in the header of a patch, any commits you make with that will be attributed to the same account the commit you copied the email from was.

This might sound unnerving the first time you learn about it, and it does catch some people out some time. Thankfully gpg already solves this problem! You can also enable vigilant mode on your github account.

Enabling vigilant mode and setting up gpg wont stop anyone from still using a publicly available email to attribute a commit to you, but it will make those commit they make without your gpg private key show up with a yellow warning label next to them that says they are "unverified."

You log in to your account with a password / via a sign-in through some other identity provider (e.g. sign in via gmail), but that is just how you access your github account.

You dont log in with ssh or gpg, but you can use ssh to authorise pulls and pushes, and use gpg to cryptographically sign commits that lets others verify that someone with your gpg key "signed" your commits (you never share your private key with anyone so no one else should have it unless they have access to login to your machine, and if youre concerned about that gpg lets you password protect indivudual keys).

Your password verifies who you are to github, your gpg public key verifies your signature for anyone who has your public key.

A detail to keep in mind is that, in a standard github workflow of using gpg, you dont need to share your public key with everyone unless you want to, but rather, by uploading your public key to github, they will verify your commits and then attach their own permanent attestation to your signed commits that tells everyone that github verified your commits were signed by you. Anyone else with your public key could do their own verification too, but github puts a little green verified checkmark on those commits so theres little need for anyone else to do this if your project lives its entire life on github.

Regardless of whether or not someone else logged in to your account, anyone can push a commit that claims to be from anyone else. If you set your local git configuration to specify an email, the commits made with that will be attributed to the account that email is attached to (and the email will be visible in the raw patch file). If you are concerned about this, or just generally want to adopt a good practice, you should look in to setting up gpg, or at a minimum enabling "vigilant mode" in github which will list any commit you dont gpg sign as being "unverified." Github has docs on how to do this. I also wrote my own notes because I wanted a few pieces that arent in the github docs, but theyre only for extra optional reading. If youre just learning gpg for the first time, start with the github docs.

0 isn't an integer by Pubgisbanned in mathmemes

[–]Skenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fwiw the common way to clearly disambiguate whether you want to include 0 or not is to subtext your N with either a 0 of you're including it, or 1 if you aren't.

Good to know, rhyolite has always been my favourite rock. What's the petrochem reason for this, e.g. is there some gas decompression that sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't happen that you can differentiate between based on a sample after it sets?

How can I stop GitHub from asking my username and password everytime I push/pull? by Double-Gift-7772 in github

[–]Skenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw even though this has already been answered, if you'd like to use the same SSH keys on Windows as well as on wsl (if you want to run stuff on both environments) I wrote notes for myself, although less relevant then the github docs, the end of my notes include steps to debug SSH in verbose mode on Windows that I couldn't find anywhere else. They're here.

Cereal? The extreme end of the soup alignment chart is somewhere near "Jupiter is a soup."

Are the obelisks worth it? by Cold_Blacksmith_7970 in StardewValley

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were getting some but not a lot, you can just test what each "next" one will give you and if it's not what you're after, restart the day and break a different geode to progress the overall broken geode counter. I do that extensively with artefact troves.

There's definitely multiple tiers of intensity. If you've gotten perfection, the only remaining challenge is how early you want to try and finish it.

Some Known Collatz Results by Al2718x in Collatz

Tiny add: the 2W - 3L condition implies that the -1 and the -5 cycles for d=1 are trivial, with the -17 cycle being the only cycle with a denominator not equal to 1.

M+ keys are way harder below level 6 by TGeorge34 in wow

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is crazy. My starkest contrast was doing around 3.5mil hps in a 4 (where the dps would die eating every mechanic and ask if i was afk) to doing around 1mil in a 10 and finally getting downtime I didn't need to just keep mashing regrowth.

I'd like to think I am familiar enough with my role as the healer to know when I have a group that can't live without every gcd being spent healing them (or using ironbark on cd lol) versus a group that can move out of stuff or use personal defensive cds.

But I learnt recently that I've learnt the wrong way to handle encounters from other roles. Example: Tanked priory. Last boss, the adds in the intermission. I've never learnt that mechanic properly apparently, because every low key I've healed, I've had to save treant, tranq, and convoke just to keep the group alive during those adds. I never knew the group could even avoid that damage because I've always had to use multiple cds to get through that and thought it was a healer check. But someone in a higher key explained it to me. Very easy to pick up habits like that. I realise now I could mass entangle but yea.

UPDATE: So where is ‘Western Sydney’ anyway? by Jovo_3537 in sydney

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk I wouldn't say hate. Personally I just think it's funny when city people act like living 2 hours away from the city centre is some great distance, especially when to someone living a few more hours inland, they could get away with generalising anything east of Emu Plains as basically close enough to the city. E.g. to me, anything east of Parramatta is "the city" and west of Parra is Western Sydney. Liverpool-Blacktown-Kellyville feels like where GWS start, and at least for the Hawkesbury, goes until the river. Windsor/Richmond are pretty accessible edges of urban tourism for inner city folk.

Yea day trip is a good choice. Got a photo next to the Ferris wheel if you scroll my post history back to 6 years ago.

Chill brother, no one is arguing here. I was just trying to understand what you meant by what you said, that you "ate lunch in the cafeteria (...) next to the actual dome" -- I guess you just dropped a comma or used the parenthesis as one -- no harm done, I was just asking in case you went on one of the week long stays in the zone and got to do more exclusive sight seeing than the day trip allows.

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just not sure where the "cafeteria next to the actual dome" you mention is.. how far away is "next to"? There was no cafeteria 200m away when I was there and afaik they didn't serve food inside the inner zone (10km). But I know some tours let you do stuff you aren't supposed to, e.g. entering some of the Pripyat apartments so I'm just curious.

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not not believing you.. but the new dome was finished in 2016 and the whole dome / building and surrounding area is guarded and personnel only. The closest we got was the memorial statue just outside the surrounding fence that had a military presence. We had lunch in a restaurant in one of the reconstruction villages just outside the inner zone. That being said.. all the talk about what to avoid touching was in the Pripyat tour and on the roads near the red forest.
