It is not "abuse of /tmp" to put files there, even if they need to be there for a long time. That is an unnecessary characterization.  Yes, /tmp gets backed up along with the rest of the system on every VM in my environment.  Sometimes "temporary" CAN mean "weeks or even months." That's not

The /tmp/ as tmpfs discussion is funny to me because while we've been kicking around the idea of whether or not to clean /tmp/, having /tmp/ as a tmpfs makes that whole argument moot. It all goes away at boot time! Problem solved! :D Honestly, I see this one as a much easier topic, assuming

I'm always in favor of logging system changes.  Notification at run time is really tricky. No one ever logs into several of my Debian servers. Other systems have interactive GUI or CLI users, some of whom are admins and others not.  I don't know if login notices are terribly reliable as no one

This, in my opinion, is the correct view.  If the users/admins of a system are putting files somewhere, those are their files and therefore their responsibility. It is not up to anyone else to claim they know better and clean up after them.  If the files are abandoned by applications that

You're now at the stage where you're not just MISSING the point of what people are trying to tell you, you're actively IGNORING it.  Automatically deleting files is a bad idea. Those files aren't yours. You don't know why they are there. Leave them alone.  --J Sent from my mobile device.

Let me try again, following up on the previous thread, but removing most of the irrelevant history. If I have a 32-bit Intel system that is currently supported on bookworm (currently running bullseye, but I can upgrade it), is that of use to anyone as a native build platform for 32-bit binary

I think the idea that HFS+ is not used on removable device is a bit of a fallacy. I, myself, use this frequently on removable hard drives when moving large data sets back and forth from my Mac. The Mac doesn't easily read ext filesystems, but Linux can read HFS, and the various Microsoft

Based on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38664729 I would say that others have come to the same conclusion. Even the post title literally says it's not really "SSHv3" but rather SSHv2 using a different transport mechanism. A package name that reflects THAT might be appropriate -
