Did I say deeply incompetent? https://twitter.com/landley/status/917549056544604160 I meant deeply, _deeply_ incompetent. Seriously, they've done this at least once a year since something like 2010, usually leaving another hole in the mailing list archive when they (eventually) restore from a stale backup and think that fixes it. I used to collect my interactions with them: http://landley.net/dreamhost.txt http://landley.net/dreamhost2.txt But haven't in years because there's no point. They never learn because I'm never talking to the same people. Even in the same thread, each message is replied to by whichever junior intern is on duty right then, with no institutional memory at all. They're decent about the actual web hosting part (it's a static website I have fully backed up and rsync, it's hard to screw that up and "fire up an empty container and restore the data from a backup" generally _is_ the right answer to something going wrong there). They're cheap, they don't meter bandwidth or have a hard storage limit, and I do _not_ have time to try to administer my own servers these days (work has gotten _exciting_ again, I'm trying to get this release out before I get kidnapped by j-core stuff for a few months)... But it would be really really nice if I could run a mailman instance on the container I ssh into instead of having them run lists.landley.net as a shared "service" for me, which I have to administer through a web page instead of the command line. Right, back to trying to test and checkin cut.c. The new version of which can do this! $ awk '{print $2" "$7" "$5}' LICENSE | head -n 5 (C) Landley by to distribute modify, with hereby fee l$ ./cut -DF 2,7,5 LICENSE | head -n 5 (C) Landley by to distribute modify, with hereby fee (It's not awk, but it's better than nothing.)
