I can set an env var and see it is set with:

ssh -o 'SetEnv FIRST=value' host env | grep FIRST

but for some reason, trying to set a second env var doesn't work

ssh -o 'SetEnv FIRST=value' -o 'SetEnv SECOND=value' host env | egrep 'FIRST|SECOND'

an image I found and added to my desktop background shuffle

and then run ldconfig after the new library is installed

building a new libXcursor fixed it.

you'll need to have the xutils-dev package installed for it to build.

upgraded debian sid and now when a handful of programs attempt cursor stuff they segfault.

oneko (right after trying to make pixmaps for the cursor), barrier (only right after mousing-over something that'd change the cursor to something else), vnc (haven't checked its coredump yet), kristall (right after the window appears but before anything is usuable)

bonus points if X could be made to start in a way that shows that tty at first, then scales it down to a normal window with decorations.

I don't have a display manager auto-start, so I login to a tty and then do startx. Now for the fun bit. I want that tty to be usable still from inside X.

Just now found out it is possible to copy message box data in windows by pressing ctrl+c. not sure when they added that.

Dunno why I didn't bother to post the source earlier.

has an empty action attribute for a form tag always been a no-no? I've been using it for "submit to the same URL we're at" for a while. What's a good non-empty thing to put in there? # "works" but I have a habit of clicking the address bar and pressing enter if I want to reload the page but make sure to do it with a GET instead of a POST, and doing that with a URL with a fragment ID doesn't actually reload it. Maybe an empty query string?

I figured places would be using nested details+summary tags for collapsible comments and hidden reply form. they do not. wrote my own shitty version in a CGI for shits and giggles.

first arg is the value of the signature header. second arg is the key you want the value of. not using a second arg will make the program output a list of the keys.

I made a program to split apart the key value pairs used in an HTTP Signature header. Noticed a bug as I was about to post this that it didn't support unquoted values like are used in the example of

created=1402170695

and it would have bugged me to post it with that bug.

I need to use less opaque containers. I keep opening the same ones because I forget what is inside.

It took me forever to get it done, but I finally finished adding SERVER_ADDR and SERVER_PORT environment variables for subprocesses of stunnel so I can get ident working from CGIs for both http and gemini. Lemme know if you want a patch. It is only like, 10 lines.

Gonna use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-url-to-window-title/ to let me auto-grab the URL from firefox instead of copying it from the address-bar :]

Don't know if I posted about this when I got the initial PoC working on my computer, but I just updated some of my scripts that let me save bookmarks in PDFs as file:// URLs in my system-wide URL history with a page= fragment ID. It checks if the current window is mupdf and finds the filename and page number based on the window's title and checking all the mupdf processes' cwd and arguments. Now with support for spaces because I didn't think it was important for the PoC.
