I don't think many projects with such a horrible() distribution system succeeded in the past.

()horrible for package maintainers. Try to create a package from this... There are no releases. I don't see any use of DESTDIR. And bundled libraries are also a major setback. It seems like the developers want to make it as hard as possible to distribute their software.

And I see more and more software going this direction. :(

Thank you. That is indeed easier to set up on OpenSMTPD than on Postfix.

Thank you, but I set it, because myhostname is "fulla.localdomain" if I don't set it.

I don't think configuring e.g. postfix is that difficult:

    #
    # /etc/postfix/main.cf
    #
    # disable diff service
    biff = no

    # TLS parameters
    smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
    smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
    smtpd_use_tls=yes
    smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
    smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

    # disable warnings about NIS on mail delivery (default adds nis:mail.aliases)
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

    # do not grant special privileges to hosts except localhost
    mynetworks_style = host

    #set the mailbox size to limit to `unlimited'
    mailbox_size_limit = 0

    myhostname = fulla.mrothe.de
    mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost,
                    mrothe.de

    mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"

And on a backup MX instead of adding your domains to `mydestination` you just set:

    [...]
    
    myhostname = blei.mrothe.de
    #don't touch mydestination, which defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost"

    # accept mail for these domains to be relayed
    relay_domains = $mydestination, mrothe.de

I am definitely not in favour of piping curl output to sh and giving root access.

I do prefer packages installed to /usr. You can easily solve the multiple-version-problem: Debian/Ubuntu has `alternatives`; Gentoo has `eselect` etc.

With these tools it is easy to "slot" packages (Gentoo terminology): /usr/bin/meteor would become a link to /usr/bin/meteor-0.1, /usr/bin/meteor-0.2 or whatever. And it is selected by the `alternatives`/`eselect` commands.

And how do you bundle your runtime? Just install the darn package!

If you are using SuSE Solaris95 and all your software is packaged for Debian or RedHat, then you should consider switching to a distribution that makes it easy to install third party software using the native package manager. If that means building a deb or rpm, then so be it; it's not that difficult.

First thing I thought when clicking the link: "No, that's the wrong hat!"

Sorry, I was in a bad mood. I should have written:

This is now how you edit that file. You should edit this file using `visudo`, which "locks the sudoers file against multiple simultaneous edits, provides basic sanity checks, and checks for parse errors" (quotes text from man page).

chmod u+w /etc/sudoers # edit file to add new user

This is _not_ how you do this! I stopped reading once I read that line. I can't take anyone serious who does this.

This cutted version feels like none of these persons said anything that is in the video, because the statements (or even words) are "out of context". I just can assume the author of the video has good intentions and did not change the context.

I don't know about the rules in America, but this circuit design wouldn't be approved for use here in Europe. Circuits are not allowed to draw what is called 'reactive power', because it stresses the grid. Therefore you have to compensate it (in the simplest case using an inductor or a capacitor).

Sounds reasonable.

I like the size of this commit! Makes bisecting all so easy!

The article says that the Kindle supports EPUB. As far as I know* it does not support this format. And it's one reason I won't buy a Kindle any time soon.
