vartabstop can help with per-column width. I found

which greatly improved my TSV editing experience in vim. Couple that with autocmd TextChangedI and you get realtime recalculation and alignment.

N-1 didn't save you, nor did N-2:

> "b) Since n, n-1 and n-2 versions of the sensor all died equally spectacularly, that bug as been around for at least three versions of csagent.sys."

There's so much misinformation around this Crowdstrike issue. The change deployed was in what is referred to as a "channel file" which isn't part of the software update mechancism (what you call N-X) but part of the intra-day frequent signature/channel updates it gets (that we all have no control over).

Crowdstrike are calling it an unfortunate "logic error" but they and few others are talking about the how a binary payload could get released to the public without seemingly any pre-release testing of the payload. If the content that was made available to the public had ran on a test endpoint, they would have discovered this "logic error" before taking down a high number of the world's systems simultaneously.

Hey, what style of diagram are you using for this? Deployment diagram? Do you have link to an example?

I tend to agree with you, but we don't always have control over the networks we access, and fitting in with other org's policies is often required. ProxyJump is very handy for that.

I love the idea of these crowd-sourced systems, but is there any appetite to open source the data behind them?

In theory the collective knowledge of all of these platforms could converge on a single data-source that's freely available to analyse in any way we see fit, but more often the knowledge is behind the platform and ends up gated behind a Pro or commercial edition and the crowd is left to rebuild it again on some other platform...

Hey there! What would be required to host my own version of this style of call access? adapter-latest.js and caller.js from the HTML source? Is there any more information to do something similar?

Yup - https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter

"IMAPFilter is a mail filtering utility. It connects to remote mail servers using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), sends searching queries to the server and processes mailboxes based on the results. It can be used to delete, copy, move, flag, etc. messages residing in mailboxes at the same or different mail servers. The 4rev1 and 4 versions of the IMAP protocol are supported."

An app called PhotoSync is fantastic - can backup to cloud services, WebDAV, SMB and others. They recently introduced auto backup when charging.

The app has really positive reviews...
