@strugee mail isn't too hard with postfix. The old days with sendmail and those evil M4 macros were a challenge to get setup right, but it has gotten a lot easier
And I have, e.g., a ssh#config.d directory in my repository, it knows to concatenate the stuff in that directory together (including handling host-specific stuff), and install that symlink as ~/.ssh/config
@strugee I really need to get my dotfile manager into a distrubutable state, and put it on github. When I looked, nothing else came close to having those features...
@derobert I have a directory with a dotfile hierarchy in it that is checked into git. I have some symlinks into that directory as needed, but once they are there they never need updating
I don't need per-machine for some config files (bashrc, vimrc, etc.) because there is full programming language, but others (I'm looking at you, mplayer & mpv!) need it
I also have both my work machine & my home machines in the same dotfiles repository, so that requires some differences too
Setting up a new machine (or, more often, VM) is a nice, easy make FORCE=y install
Creating symlinks was fine and trivial when all dotfiles went under $HOME/ directly. Got old real fast once it was "yeah, do all the ones under $HOME, then $HOME/.ssh, then $HOME/.mpv, then $HOME/.config/something/, then..."
Anyway, I'll get my dotfile tools published on github ASAP. They're actually in an svn repository now (I had dotfiles in version control before git existed....), need to move to git and then I can upload them to github.
I came across http://math.stackexchange.com/users/tag-future/current which represents a recent attempt by SE to understand what types of questions each user is likely to answer. (The underlying motivation being to feed more questions of the kind to the user.)
Having found that I'm considered a...
Some time ago there was a blog post about someone analysing what tags SO users answered on and coming up with the five most and least likely tags that this user would answer on in the future. The post included a link (template) where you could view the results for at least yourself, possibly for ...
@derobert never mind, I'm an idiot, the URL stackoverflow.com/users/tag-future/current takes you to your page which was what I was looking at and thought it was rlemon's since I had clicked the link on his profile
Weird though, I am told I am considered an active user on SO where I have >10 posts!
I have a Dell latitude 6430u which has three tactile keys for mute/audio decrease/audio increase.
On debian (sid), either with xfce or gnome, these keys don't work well. The mute key has never work. The two others work sometimes, but not well (I have to press twice, sometimes nothing happens, .....
