Quit Nested SSH Sessions: use one more ~ for each nesting

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/18

Never too old to learn:

  • [Wayback/Archive.is] Quit Nested SSH Sessions

    works with ssh as well but is much simpler: press as many ~ as level of nest before . (by default, ~ is the escape character while . is to terminate ssh).

  • [Wayback/Archive.is] How can I break out of ssh when it locks? – Ask Ubuntu

    Notice that because hitting ~~ causes ssh to send the ~ instead of intercepting it, you can address N nested ssh connections by hitting ~ N times. (This only applies to ~s that directly follow an Enter.) That is to say that Enter~~~~~. terminates an ssh session 5 layers deep and keeps the other 4 intact.

So this is basically an extension of my 2017 blog post OpenSSH Escape Sequences (aka Kill Dead SSH Sessions) – The Lone Sysadmin (:

Opinie | Bosrandgeluk – NRC – ikje uit zomer 2010

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/15

Het blijft hartverscheurend: [Wayback/Archive] Opinie | Bosrandgeluk – NRC

Als we door een bos rijden, zegt ze opeens: „Als je straks ophoudt met werken, wil ik met jou in een huisje aan de bosrand wonen, met een tuin, een moestuintje en een weitje.”
Ik brom instemmend.
Na een poosje keren we terug.
Zij (83) naar het verpleeghuis.
Ik (89) naar het huisje aan de bosrand met een tuin, een moestuintje en een weitje, waar we ruim dertig jaar heel erg gelukkig waren.
W. van der Heijden

Some links on Aviation Registration and ICAO 24-bit call signs

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/15

Some ADSB sites use Aircraft Registration in their tracking URLs and others use the hexadecimal representation ICAO 24-bit call signs.

Some links for my archive with some help from [Wayback/Archive] Rens – Chemtrail Squadron Officer (@HelemaalRens) / Twitter:

Reminder to self: get the Technic 40 year anniversary model and also rebuild the 8860 on which it was based (via Brickset: LEGO set guide and database)

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/14

Some 7 years ago, I missed the [Wayback/Archive] Technic 40 year anniversary model | Brickset: LEGO set guide and database.

Hopefully by now I have had time to get the various underlying boxes and build it, together with reviving the 8860 I still have from my child-hood time.

Pictures from Brickset:

Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/13

Using generative AI for your work can very likely result into your work not being copyrightable, at least in the USA: [Wayback/Archive] Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work

The guy who used Midjourney to create an award-winning piece of AI art demands copyright protections.

…

Now, in an ironic twist, Allen is upset that his work—which was created via a platform that’s been accused of ripping off countless copyrighted works—cannot, itself, be copyrighted, and is thus getting ripped off. In March of last year, the U.S. Copyright Office ruled that work derived from AI platforms “contained no human authorship” and therefore could not be extended copyright protections. Allen has been trying, since late 2022, to register his painting as a copyrighted work.

GitHub – src-d/hercules: Gaining advanced insights from Git repository history.

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/12

[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – src-d/hercules: Gaining advanced insights from Git repository history.

This project, with the command-line tools hercules and labours is on my research list as it can get pretty good long-term insights on project health (the tool is programming language independent).

Especially the half-life of code is a good measurement, as well as the existence of code bursts (hello major version increments!).

This research part is important: [Wayback/Archive] Change Bursts as Defect Predictors – Publications – Software Engineering Chair (Prof. Zeller), by Nachiappan Nagappan, Andreas Zeller, Thomas Zimmermann, Kim Herzig, Brendan Murphy

How to Weaponize the Yubikey – Black Hills Information Security

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/12

I totally missed this back in 2019 when having the first belly surgery (that eventually would lead up into discovering I had already had rectum cancer at that time) [Wayback/Archive] How to Weaponize the Yubikey – Black Hills Information Security.

Luckily I got a reminder: [Wayback/Archive] jilles.com on Twitter: “/me the asshole that spoils the magic trick …” after [Wayback/Archive] yan on Twitter: “who’s excited for defcon next week”
