There’s no statement or action (such as banning menu-bar-only apps from the Store or even changing the APIs) supporting that Apple still wants menu bar items to be ephemeral.

Could you back up your assertion that Willy Tarreau — who used to maintain the Linux kernel — is “an AI enthusiast”? I can’t find anything about it.

The issue of rootless malicious command overrides is solved by typing the whole path, such as "/bin/sudo".

This is due to one of your AAAA records: ::ffff:157.245.83.16. (The other one is fine.)

CLI:

    dig aaaa saile.it
    curl -v --resolve "saile.it:443:[2a04:4e42:2::775]" "https://saile.it/1145-pull-requests-per-day/"

HTTP/2 “pipelining” (multiplexing) is still there and works as intended; but bundling is still much more efficient.

This article delves into just that: https://csswizardry.com/2023/10/the-three-c-concatenate-comp... The first pair of waterfall graphics illustrates the problem clearly.

(What you vaguely remember as not working as intended is probably Server Push).

No because that additional CSS file can only be fetched after the initial HTML file has been fetched, not simultaneously; thus requiring another roundtrip to the server. (HTTP/2 Server Push promised otherwise but it was never implemented correctly.)

Latency being much more constraining than bandwidth, embedding a stylesheet that’s small is nearly always the correct tradeoff.

You can `set +e` before and `set -e` after every such command. I indent those commands to make it look like a block and to make sure setting errexit again isn’t forgotten.
