I've seen : "${DB_HOST:=localhost}" because it assigns the variable if not set (: $… is just to run assignments standalone).

But that has the same effect like DB_HOST="${DB_HOST:-localhost} (use the string if not set).

While something like echo "${DB_HOST:=localhost}" smells from a mile, because it has output with side-effects.

The server compressed the details away, so i posted just a crop. Well, the shrub in the foreground also confused the phone-camera's focus. Here's the uncroped image:

While the game is dripping with satire of the auto industry it is still a pretty fun management game so far!

Nice to see that they didn't choose Windows.

Sadly, no indicator why it failed, goes to a stuck loading screen after, before rebooting. I was just a visitor there.

Firefox mobile showing a popup "shake to summarize" with the choices "now" and "later".

Edit: fine, i've added the alt text to the main body.

Italo Vignoli of The Document Foundation explains why digital sovereignty starts with file formats — and why ODF is superior to proprietary formats.

I can't seem to find anything like it, neither as a Fuse fs. Is there really no file system, that just evicts the oldest entries once it's full? I mean, it could be a simple queue.

This would have been the ideal tool for cache; no bothering with size limits and background daemons.

Is there a CLI/TUI start menu like tool, with favorites/categories?

Or even better, a whole status bar at the top/bottom (also without X/wayland/framebuffer), with time, battery, maybe even launched background processes listed you can bring to front?

No reason that we can't have some Desktop metaphor niceties on shell too, no?

Sorry to bother you guys about this.

Could someone give me the link to the recent post, where someone pinged the ipv4 range, created a map?

Sharing with the PC got wrong and i have Voyager set to auto-hide on scroll and can't find it anymore.

I never see in public git projects something like a declaration of scope. There's also no convention, unlike a README.md (which rarely contains some sort of scope definition) or LICENSE file.

Is this unusual in open source projects, that you first define what you want and not want in your project and how you want to do it, to combat scope creep and sabotaging yourself?

I'm in a postition in live (short of a burnout) where it's actively a pain to just start things and then wing it; i even add a scope comment to larger shell scripts.
Maybe it's experience, because i already know that i'm then not satisfied afterward or (in case of shell scripts) just create a unfinished mess. Nobody else?
