It doesn't matter the input size, it hashes down to the same length. It does increase the CPU time, but not the storage space. If the hashing is done on the client side (pre-transmission), then the server has no extra cost.

For example, the hash of a Linux ISO isn't 10 pages long. If you SHA-256 something, it always results in 256 bits of output.

On the other hand, base 64-ing something does get longer as the input grows.

As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for "security", so I would just 'sudo bash' which is obviously much safer /s.

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn't have Wayland yet
2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn't work
3. I don't change my setups that much, so I haven't tried it since
4. I don't need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

Thank you for your hard work. I am glade I support this instance.

I inject myself with beans every morning, usually French press

There are distros that don't install man by default? Crazy.

I have this exact problem.

Edit: nvm, found the solution

C or C++, specifically with the use of compiler explorer so you can get a feel for how code actually runs.

Common Lisp or Haskell to get a taste of something really different.

Because less ports equals less cost.

My Home Assistant Voice is getting really close to displacing Alexa.

But also when you pay, you can still be a product.
