A: What is a reasonable minimum for making a FOSS project inviting to contributors? Matthew's list is pretty good, although I don't think one has to do all the things on it as a "minimum." I offer one minimum and a couple nice-to-haves. Some of these I have learned as a contributor; some as a maintainer. Must Don't be a jerk When people engage with your project, don't be dism...

> I'll definitely post them as answers instead.
Please do! Even if others answer the question later, it makes it easier for them to refer to your answer in a link if it already exists, rather than quoting text from the question that you may move to an answer later. (more) |

When I wanted to read the objects, I dumped a parallel file to JSON for convenience, but I haven't ever needed to update my pickles by hand. (more) |

A: GnuTLS config for my own root CA, for use on internal server Does GnuTLS support CA Name Constraints (RFC 5280, 4.2.1.10), so you can limit the valid domains directly in the root CA? I'm not aware of any CAs that self-limit this way,[^moz] except for when the US government tried (unsuccessfully?) to get one approved by the CA/B forum for `.gov` and `.mil`. ... (more) |

Possessing a good answer is not itself indicative of a good question. I have downvoted some questions where I upvoted the Asker's self-answer. _This_ question is too broad. (more) |

I don't know that you're going to get anything more helpful than the test you already did. You could trawl the Bash changelogs to see if they indicate that the behavior was ever different, but "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." (more) |

A: Should a salt be stored in the same database as the hash? With bcrypt, the salt is stored in the same string as the hash. This is done so that you have everything you need to get that hash identifier if you know the password.[^pepper] Wikipedia breaks down the format: > ## Description > The input to the bcrypt function is the password string (up to 72 b...

If the criteria for your log isn't expensive in its own right, you could just ask `git log` to stop after a certain number of commits are found. `-50` or something. (more) |

A: Git apply vs git am Each of them has an analog to another Git command. But instead of objects in the repository, these take text file(s) created either by you or someone else. `git apply` Think of this as Applying a `git stash` from a text file. Applies a delta to your worktree. It's nominally a Git-flavored ve... (more) |

That's crazy. I had one where the password entry screen had a _shorter_ length limit than the creation screen, so it didn't fit the password I had set. (more) |

From 2003 to 2017, NIST's 800-63 pushed the bad advice they later repudiated. See [this WSJ article](https://archive.is/4xffa) (no paywall) on the history. That's why organizations that are slow to change and old systems without active development might still have the crummy old guidelines. (more) |

A: Are "strong passwords" at all meaningful? Passwords are annoying. Nobody really enjoys passwords, which is why "The End of Passwords" articles keep circulating. I'm looking forward to the day the prediction comes true, but in the meantime passwords are the most common way to do authentication anywhere with a computer. I made a chart to cl... (more) |

A: How to display overlapped content in an e-mail I don't understand your "Venn Diagram" explanation. Are you wanting the image behind the text? If you mean wrapping around the image, you can do this: Instead of cells of a big table, put the image into its own table and `align="right"` the table. Then text will reflow around the table (even in yu... (more) |

| Question | — |
Can GitHub rewrite authorship of commits? GitHub has a setting wherein they offer to "anonymize" your user email from, say, somebody@example.com to somebody@users.noreply.github.com. I presume this is to prevent you from getting spam from a scraper that reads the metadata on commits to public repositories. How do they do this without inva... (more) |
