It doesn't matter the input size, it hashes down to the same length. It does increase the CPU time, but not the storage space. If the hashing is done on the client side (pre-transmission), then the server has no extra cost.

For example, the hash of a Linux ISO isn't 10 pages long. If you SHA-256 something, it always results in 256 bits of output.

On the other hand, base 64-ing something does get longer as the input grows.

As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for "security", so I would just 'sudo bash' which is obviously much safer /s.

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

  1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn't have Wayland yet
  2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn't work
  3. I don't change my setups that much, so I haven't tried it since
  4. I don't need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
  5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

There are distros that don't install man by default? Crazy.

Russia has a limited supply of working jets, and limited supply of good pilots. Which they need elsewhere across their very large country and in other places (Syria).

In addition, Russia pulled back its air operations not because of Ukraine jets, but because of ground based air defense (missile that shoot down planes). Trading pilot/plane for pilot/plane is good for Russia, but trading a pilot/plane for a missile is a bad trade for anyone.

Because less ports equals less cost.

My Home Assistant Voice is getting really close to displacing Alexa.

But also when you pay, you can still be a product.
