  • I’ve got my caps lock key remapped to escape.

    I use my left pinky for ctrl, shift, a, and my remapped caps lock/escape key.

    I use my right pinky for shift, enter, and I’m pretty sure that’s all.

    I use my ring fingers for backspace, tilde, tab, q, backslash, quote, and that probably isn’t a comprehensive list.

    I use my middle finger for semicolon/colon! I never realized that before. Wild.





  • If you’re thinking it may be malicious, I think it’s innocuous.

    Try cat’ing /etc/skel/.bashrc and see if the code in question in in there. My guess is it will be. When a new user’s home directory is created, it copies all the files from /etc/skel into the newly-created home directory. So, that directory is basically a “new user home directory template.”

    The code you posted (is missing an fi at the end, but anyway) just looks like a utility for making it easier to organize your .bashrc into separate files rather than one big file. That’s a common technique for various configuration files that a lot of distros commonly do. And I personally find that technique nice.

    If you want to delete that code, it’s not going to hurt anything to remove it (unless someday you add a ~/.bashrc.d/ directory and some file in there “doesn’t work” and it confuses you why.)

    Also, what distro are you on?







  • No joke. I’m ashamed to say I have had to endure Weblogic in the past. God was that time a massive clusterfuck.

    The company I worked for decided to use two particular separate products (frameworks, specifically; ATG and Endeca, even more specifically) to use in tandem in a rewrite of the company’s main e-commerce application. Between when we signed on the dotted line and when we actually started implementing things, Oracle acquired the companies behind both products in question.

    The company should have cut their losses, run away screaming, and started evaluating other options. That’s not what happened. Instead, they doubed-down and also adopted several other Oracle products (Weblogic and Oracle Linux on (shudder) Exalogic servers) because that’s, of course, what Oracle recommended to use with the two products in question. The company also contracted with Oracle-licensed “service integration” companies that made everything somehow even worse.

    And the e-commerce site rewrite absolutely crashed and burned in the most gloriously painful way possible. They ended up throwing away tens of millions of dollars and multiple years on it.

    When the e-commerce site rewrite did happen, it was many years later and used basically only FOSS technologies. I guess at least they learned their lesson. Until the upper management turns over again.







  • Oh! That’s good to hear. Honestly, that issue has kindof pissed me off enough at Rossmann specifically that I kindof quit watching his YouTube videos and stuff. So I very much haven’t been following him or FUTO.

    I wonder if the FUTO website still claims that they require all projects to be or have a plan to become specifically “Open Source”.

    Edit: Yup. They still say “All FUTO-funded projects are expected to be open-source or develop a plan to eventually become so” on this page. Maybe that means that they intend for Grayjay to “develop a plan to eventually become” properly Open Source and not just “source first”.

    Just in case this matters to OP or anyone else in this thread, Grayjay isn’t Open Source, despite Rossman’s and FUTO’s claims to the contrary. Its license disallows any commercial use of Grayjay, and also disallows removing any features related to paying FUTO. Which disqualify Grayjay as “Open Source” by the OSI’s definition.

    And consequently, F-Droid won’t distribute Grayjay unless they change their license.
