Also if you don't have any files that match the glob then "*.jpg" expands into "*.jpg". If you're using bash you may want to look into the failglob or nullglob options.

I like the part where OpenSSH sshd doesn't link against liblzma anyways, but Debian et al. use a patched version that links against libsystemd which links against liblzma. Didn't Debian learn after 2008 not to mess with sshd?

There's a lot of interesting components to this whole debacle, but one part that stands out is that the malicious autoconf m4 macro only exists in the upstream release tarball (still hosted on GitHub) but not in the source repo. So anyone looking at a post-configure build of the tarball would see the injected malicious source, but anyone cloning from git wouldn't. And yet the two are "close enough" that missing autoconf bits may easily be excused by someone casually comparing the two. Going forward I think a reasonable policy change on Debian's side would be that any upstream project that uses git or similar revision control (which is most everything now) should always be built from a clone/checkout of an upstream repo tag or commit id, and not from separately packaged source tarball, to ensure that exactly this scenario doesn't happen. Not that you can't have bad actors on the distribution package maintainer side either.

pseudorandom name posted:And every other GUI (Windows, macOS) makes individual applications draw their own decorations for good technical reasons. One of the reasons Wayland was created was specifically this issue, and the fact that KDE rolls back to X11 style window decorations is weird grognardy behavior on their part.

cruft posted:I've done this many times using command line tools. I forget which ones. Pdfutils maybe? pdftocairo will "render" a PDF using a libcairo backend which supports PDF, PostScript, or PNG if you want raster. It supports scaling but I'm not sure how the scale options are actually interpreted and they may be backend specific. It also, frustratingly, tends to generate PostScript that breaks on my 2008 Brother printer. There's also pdftops (Xpdf), pdf2ps, and ps2pdf (GhostScript) that I believe support scale options.
