Basically the Matrix Spec Change Proposal system, I like it. Opens the floor to more players, gives tool authors a list of protocols they could choose to build on, and hopefully compositors will choose to adopt or adapt one of these protocols before writing their own.
I know that “Vanity Addresses” are a common thing for onion sites, and there are tools which generate tons of keys looking for prefixes. I haven’t seen such a tool for ssh host keys though.
Taking courses which involve subjects that you will likely never encounter in the workforce is a thing in every discipline. Most engineers don’t need to manually solve differential equations in their day jobs, they just need to know that they exist and will often require numerical solutions.
Getting your hands dirty with the content provides a better understanding when dealing with higher level concepts.
When in doubt, ~/.zshrc
. It’s the right choice 99% of the time. Otherwise, there’s a chance you fuck up scripts you’ve installed which assume no shell options have been changed in non-interactive contexts.
Select the color which matches the steps before filenames ((non-)login and (non-)interactive), then follow that arrow the rest of the way. There’s more colors in Bash because Bash makes a distinction between remote and local shells.
Another way to look at the same data for Zsh (note: will be used instead of
if it’s defined at any step along the way):
File | neither | interactive | login | both |
---|---|---|---|---|
/etc/zshenv |
x | x | x | x |
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshenv |
x | x | x | x |
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprofile |
x | x | ||
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc |
x | x | ||
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zlogin |
x | x | ||
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zlogout |
x | x |
One confusion on the Bash side of the diagram is that you see branching paths into ~/.profile
, ~/.bash_profile
and ~/.bash_login
. Bash will use for ~/.bash_profile
, ~/.bash_login
, and ~/.profile
, in that order, and execute only the first one that exists and is readable.
