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..

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

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

Linode has always been a great host. Sure they've had their growing pains but I've never been more happy with a virtual hosting provider, even their support. But yes, days without communication is not a good thing. Let's hope they learn from this.

This affected me. It's immoral and should be illegal
