This would be the right time for an April Fools joke…  but no.  It’s so common it’s hard to come up with something that won’t make people roll their eyes.

• Here’s an Ultimate SSH Hacks article that isn’t actually that ultimate, or hacky.  However, I found it via this Slashdot article that had a comment with this nifty trick for having a single-file Unix-portable ssh link.
• Design Disease.  (via)  I can sympathize.  If you can’t tell what he’s objecting to in the pictures, consider yourself lucky.  There’s probably a similar symptom that makes people collect old computer equipment, which I daresay a few readers are vulnerable to.
• Legit, Git workflow for humans.  Slightly more sensical syntax for git, as far as I can tell.  (via)
• Michael Lucas is dedicated to writing.  Really dedicated.
• Also, Michael Lucas and The Value of Tech Books.  He’s very right about man pages; they’re great and also not great.
• How DNS Changer was taken down and victims redirected. (via)  I link to it because Paul Vixie, the author, also wrote the cron program you’re running right now.  Really, look at the end of the man page.
• Look at what’s happened to DuckDuckGo’s traffic stats!  (via)  I’ve linked to the search engine before, and I know there’s at least a few readers who like it.
• “Let’s kill all proprietary drivers for good”  (PDF, via several places)  It makes me happy that it talks about drivers and acknowledges the existence of BSD.  Driver unification would be great, though it really needs someone solidly behind it as with any project.
• “The problem is compounded by the way Linux has grown over the years into an ungainly edifice, built upon thousands of individual packages of computer code that have been stapled together.”

Your unrelated link of the day: a Space Shuttle launch from the point of view of the booster rocket. (via)  Remember when humanity had reusable spaceships?
