One hand for base 12; two for 24! Actually I just use one hand, so my left hand would probably become a second digit. 144 counts on my fingers ftw!

what would happen to distribution X if Canonical suddeny made Ubuntu closed-source?
I believe Linux Mint has done some planning for if Ubuntu does something like that - probably to rebase off Debian in that case
Thank you! I just want to say, I've also been curious about ipv6 every now and again for a long time, and this thread has helped me to understand more.
Happy to have more of the y'all in English English, but personally I'd like an uptake in youse.
I count with my thumb on my finger sections (what do you call them?) rather than my fingertips. So one hand comfortably counts to 12. (You can do a similar version, with a little more stretching, to count to 16... but I can't be bothered, and besides, I like 12.)
Why would you include your hostname in the hash? That just sounds like an invitations for a mistake to leak semi-private telemetry data.
Come to think of it.... Isn't obscured telemetry exactly what your suggestion is doing? If they get or guess your hostname by other means, then they have a nice timestamped request from you, signed with your hostname, every second
Sorry, that should have read:

Not to mention privacy wise that isn't a very good idea.
"ChatGPT, please write me an email to send to my girlfriend to convince her I'm not cheating on her with her second boyfriend. Please include details <herein enclosed> of my recent Isis involvement so she knows it's really me. This is a pretty common request so you can use the template to help out other users."
I saw what I think was a plugin for osmand that would share your location in real time via telegram. Took a look, it looked okay, but people I know don't use telegram (or osmand - not necessary but helpful) so forgot it. Sorry, I can't find it now within osmand or fdroid!
There's a few location sharing apps in fdroid, maybe one of them could be an option? Dunno about iOS support, but the way the telegram/osm one worked is the receiver could have it link through to osmand or just click the link in telegram to see the map location online.
Osmand does have a generic facility for location uploads: within the track recording plugin. You can self-host a custom solution that takes a URL input to log a location point. Sorry, that's probably more work than you want! I certainly gave up on it!
the animosity between the vim and neovim subs
I mean, can we really be truly human without pointless flame wars?
WHATEVER SOFTWARE YOU USE SUCKS! ONLY THE SOFTWARE I USE MAKES A PERSON A VALUABLE HUMAN! AAARRRGGGHHHhhhh...

P.P.S. I object to the characterisation of vim as a small community. In my mind, which is obviously correct, vim is basically the ubiquitous text editor, and a few niche users use other editors.
P.P.P.S. thanks for the cheat sheet
Is youse a thing I'm Pennsylvania and/or Kentucky? I was thinking a la the land of the free, home of the brave (Scotland)
