You could use it to rate limit... or arbitrarily set block sizes per use case. I've used it for the former when doing 'over the wire' backups through ssh

Been waiting for years, frankly. I guess if I was motivated enough and had the time, I could do the research and submit patches..

They don't want it. Even if you got the patches accepted to the kernel they'd never accept patches to GNU Coreutils to support it.

The most recent comment I've seen on this is lukewarm at best: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1411.0/03374.html

Feedly is OK

Mine stays at 77, any lower and the fan never shuts off.

Why? Well, Florida. And the fact that I'm on the 2nd floor of a multi-tenant building with poor insulation. The struggle is real

My wifi key is also insanely difficult. Spinning that wheel and pressing down on the face to select one of the characters is so annoying, you can easily get the character next to the one you intend. And the selector for the space character isn't obvious either. I had to reset mine 3 times, and enter that key each time. I refuse to do it again, that's how annoying it is to anyone who cares about decent wifi keys

I had no idea the bangs didn't have to be the be the first thing you enter. My life is now a lot easier, thanks!

The one that said raw sockets in Windows XP was going to break the internet

Watch his documentary "Hold Fast" to get a glimpse of just how unique and interesting a character he is. Anarchists yachting? Yes, more, please

Whoa. I've watched that documentary a few times before but never realized it's Moxie.

Thanks, definitely was worth watching. What an awesome crew.

If that's his autobiographical documentary, I'll pass. Never seen a more narcissistic piece of trash in my life. He won't stop talking in his monotonous voice the whole time--made it to the first scene where he films a conversation, but had to cut it off because even that he had to overdub--guy loooooves the sound of his own voice.

Such a good film.

Another one I miss. Recently also was thinking about plastic.com

It was only natural. I propose a POSIX extension with a new signal type: SIGLPAD. You know, for on demand left-padding by the user. Because user choice is important
