The documentation for `git stash list` says > ### [`list []`][doc] > List the stash entries that you currently have. Each stash entry is listed with its name (e.g. `stash@{0}` is the latest entry, `stash@{1}` is the one before, etc.), the name of the branch that was current when the entry was mad...

Answer 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...

Comment Post #291125 > 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.

Answer 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`. ...

Comment Post #290786 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."

Answer 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...
