  • Bash command of the day sudo echo "127.0.0.1 twitter.com" >> /etc/hosts

  • Emma Alberici: pleasantly surprised to find she is both alive and a trending topic. Justin Milne: a trending topic.

  • Between Chrome becoming more integrated with Google and Firefox installing extensions without permissions (again, telemetry this time), I’m tempted to switch back to Lynx.

  • Turns out there was more to Torvalds’ epiphany and the Linux Foundation’s sudden adoption of a code of conduct than Torvalds suggested. Imagine my surprise.

  • The Prime Minister has spoken about allowing *more* discrimination of queer folk under the guise of religious freedom.

  • What’s particularly cute about this is that Getty will start sending infringement claims to people who sourced the images free from sites showing the original creative commons license

  • If you’re interested in trying Gutenberg but one or two post types aren’t ready, don’t let it stop you. There’s a filter for that and it’s nine lines of code to work around.

  • Oh honey, no.
