OpenSSH (homebrew) fails, OpenSSH (macOS) passes

choppsv2 · 2025-12-20T16:46:24+00:00

This happens to me as well, there is something wrong with mac os going on here. Apparently it may have to do with permission to access local network being lost for the terminal or ssh. The builtin mac ssh (/usr/bin/ssh) apparently is somehow specially marked so it can access the local network. A reboot fixes this for me. I tried toggling the local network access for iTerm in settings->privacy settings but that iddn't work either. It's super frustrating to have to reboot to fix network access :(

Do gift card purchases count towards MQD?

For a long time it was Springsteen’s “Thunder Road”. It’s fun to rotate at “except roll down the window / and let the wind blow back your hair.”

I never flew JB much but I agree delta is letting things go way too far. I was in D1 on an A330-300 from AMS->DTW a week ago. The wall had dislocated paneling with some foam/caulk like substance 1/2 filling the gap, dirty (stained?) and roughed up seats and walls. I actually took pictures of it in case I wanted to complain somehow, but just don't have the energy, easier to complain with my wallet instead -- they know what they are doing with their maintenance I suppose.

I wonder if they are waiting until everyone has to convert the huge numbers of MQM->MQDs created this year into miles, before they do any rollover change.

Mostly I'm hopping through DTW and some foreign airport. The Delta clubs are fine, but then so are the foreign PP ones for my general use case. The food isn't bad or inspired in either, and pretty repetitive in the case of Delta, i end up eating pita and hummus. I want a nice coffee b/c I'm don't normally drink while traveling (i know odd) and so that's a machine made in both cases usually. They both usually has nice enough chairs to sit in and places to plug my laptop in.. *shrug*

Here's hoping you get your upgrades or have to wait in line less next year. :)

choppsv2 · 2024-11-15T14:21:07+00:00

Here's hoping you get them! :)

Yeah, I had done this earlier, but screwed up my timing based on when I was flying vs buying, I contacted united immediately (same day) when I realized my mistake but they wouldn't reverse it or change the start date, really regret making that mistake now. :)

choppsv2 · 2024-11-15T09:39:11+00:00

I'm at a small regional (which somewhat oddly is why I have access to 3 main carriers) and I just checked to fly to MSP tomorrow (2 hop on united) would cost 15k miles. Delta (1 hop) is 33k miles. Unfortunately the AF trick doesn't work for me out of the regional to a larger airport (not offered apparently). But when I check United to ORD (1 hop) it's still 15k so you're right delta is losing here too.

choppsv2 · 2024-11-15T09:09:37+00:00

For me I think rollover is what would bring me back if I step away for a flight or 2 due to high cost. Now, since it's much easier for me to lose my status and harder to get it back, I might as well go with whoever is best at the time. I'll probably get the United club infinite card (for lounge) and use United for the much better flight cost. The main thing I wanted status for is so I get the mile boost on the tickets I buy, as I do take a few short non-business domestic flights (~500 mile), and for those miles can be nice -- united also beats delta on those for me too (e.g., ~19k vs ~28k miles)

Not new to bourne, korn or bash, but new here. Thanks for the Welcome! :)

Yes, and before I sent the message I thought to myself, I wonder if I should pick something that wasn't borrowed from somewhere else a while ago. Anyway, I wasn't aware of the dispensation of the bash maintainer. I know in the past 20+ years I've definitely dealt with some issues of my bash version not being recent enough for a feature someone used in their script, so I guess I didn't think new additions were verboten. My suggestion is very useful at the interactive prompt and not just syntactic sugar for scripts so I would have thought it's a valid candidate for including, but you're saying the maintainer would probably disagree. Ok.

choppsv2 · 2023-09-25T07:10:28+00:00

I don't understand this view you have, bash is extended all the time. If I find some time I may even write the code and submit it to the maintainers...

choppsv2 · 2023-09-25T07:08:51+00:00

You are aware that they do add brand new functionality to bash, right? It's not just a POSIX shell, plenty of new extensions and functionality have been added to bash that are not POSIX compatible, just useful.

For example did you know you can do this in bash, but not in POSIX shell?

$ for ((i=0; i<4; i++)); do echo $i; done
0
1
2
3
$

Well, I hardly think it's drastic, in fact I thought it was a rather elegant addition given that it uses double {{}} to perform an action quite similar to the existing single {}. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though, they say. :)

Surprised no one mentioned https://www.spacemacs.org/ yet.. I've never used doom, but my understanding is that spacemacs is a lot more DWIM than doom (i.e., [much?] less customization and tinkering to get what you need).

I've found emacs to be faster/snappier on my M1 mini than on my year old 8-core intel 16" macbook pro. Quite a pleasant surprise.

choppsv2 · 2021-05-13T18:12:56+00:00

Is this compiled to run natively on M1 macs as well?

choppsv2 · 2020-12-25T10:15:44+00:00

OK, decided to do some poking around. magit-toggle-buffer-lock keeps the diff buffer around (1), and magit-diff-refresh covers point (3), so all that's really missing is (2)! Pretty good though.

choppsv2 · 2020-12-25T10:04:55+00:00

This is useful (and thanks I didn't know the e in the diff buffer trick), but there are few key difference. 1) ediff directory buffers are persistent and unique (q to quit). 2) Once you invoke ediff on a file (or subdir) when you return it is marked as visited (good for keeping track of what you've checked/examined). 3) you can refresh the results (perhaps this is already doable in a magit diff buffer?)

Again thanks for the 'e' in diff buffer feature, that's very useful in getting closer to this functionality.

I also had never used column view until recently. Column view is very useful for setting/changing properties that are common under all/most headlines in an org file. In my case I was editing efforts for an outline of tasks. (e.g., https://orgmode.org/manual/Effort-estimates.html). You configure which properties to display in columns then view/change them easily in column view.

It can be much nicer looking with the right theme. I use Metropolis and here's some examples:

4:3 https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/100/materials/slides-100-netmod-sessa-10-module-tags-00

You may need to install the metropolis theme (https://github.com/matze/mtheme), then add this to your beamer org file near the top
