URL please? Thx.
\_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
\_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet

there? How is their quality compared to other libs you have used
for other langs? Thx.
\_ I use Ruby for hobby stuff, etc. I use libraries for system stuff
(web access, process, etc.) but that's about it. Perl libraries are
much better/more complete. I assume because of the maturity and

good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video

to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but

people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order). In
my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
they used to use in their school years. In my last two jobs though,
