Could someone confirm/infirm that statement I saw recently:
"""
By design #VLIW processors like #TI #C6x #DSP or #HP #Intel #Itanium are immune to #Spectre
"""

Type the same command in all you `tmux` panes:
tmux setw synchronize-panes

#tmux #Terminal #Shell #CLI

XML command line processing:
http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/

(never ever use #sed for that!)
#XML #XSLT1 #CLI

I don't' really like the title, but the article has some good arguments in favor of open source hardware.

@tomasino Thank you for sharing. There are many gems in https://github.com/jamestomasino/dotfiles/tree/master/bash/.functions !

You may have noticed many identical toots appearing then disappearing almost immediately from my timeline recently.

This is not spam.

Simply I'm experimenting with the #Mastodon #API :)

If like me you always forget the #tar option to extract #xz compressed #archives, this railroad-style #infographics is for you:

@Riley @Gargron Indeed. I completely missed that, but it appears this is just an image upload.

Thank you for having pointed that out!

@Gargron I found an example of what I try to achieve:

This toot from the FSF (https://status.fsf.org/notice/281801) shows a thumbnail *in-stream*.

Apparently they achieve that by sharing both the link to their page *and* a link to a media

Is this the only way to display in-stream previews?

https://mastodon.social/media/LwXGnGjbz3PPeSPMtss

@Gargron Yes, exactly.

It's not clear to me how/if preview can be displayed in-stream when sharing links.

@Gargron OK, that mean we display a thumbnail preview if we share a link to a media (video or image). But not if we share a link to a page--even if it advertise oembed "photo" content?

#NeedHelp

I just don't get how/if we can embed thumbnails when sharing a *link*.

_Apparently_ it works for toots in my feed:

But never for the ones I post:
https://mastodon.social/@YesIKnowIT/99122657406875126

In my case, the thumbnail is not displayed in the feed. But only when clicking to expand the toot.

FWIW, I just implemented oembed support on my site. So maybe did I made something wrong :/

@Support or @Gargron

Like it or not, Oracle is still a popular database solution. And Oracle Database skills remain in high-demand on the job market. But installing Oracle from scratch is a tedious task.

But, you can today have an Oracle instance up and running on your Linux box just by typing only three commands, thanks to Docker (and Maksym Bilenko;) !

Perfect to setup your for testing/development environment.

Install #Docker on your #Linux computer:

I'm an open-source enthusiast and promoter. But I have no other choice than admit, despite great opensource alternatives, Oracle Database still benefits of a huge popularity in the business world. At least, this is how I understand those data extracted from GoogleTrend.

The graph can be read as "in 2017 about 55% of the web search in Job & Education concerning the database topic where mentioning the Oracle Database software".
