C is a pretty simple language and relatively easy to learn. But it's a lot harder to be proficient with.

(Preface: i dont know much about this)

mkdev.h is not available in arch either. I even tried searching the repos with pacman -F mkdev.h.

Looking up makedev (which I'm assuming is the lib that cpio uses from it) it seems that it is available in sysmacros.h for linux and mkdev.h for solaris, see for example: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/patch/1436377303-28355-1-git-send-email-alan.coopersmith@oracle.com/

So I tried just commenting that include out but got a bunch of other errors about multiple definitions of some enums (defined in cpio.h), and so I gave up.

I don't like GNU either but I went the more free route of BSD instead.

Can't they just use JSDoc?

By the same argument, wouldn't GPL and other copyleft licenses be considered non-free as well since you are not free to do whatever you want with the source? For example, incorporating it into a proprietary project, refusing to provide the source to users upon request, or not disclosing attribution, etc. The latter would even go against the terms of permissive licenses.

Clearly defining what free, and by extension FOSS, means is very relevant.

It seems that no lua is packaged with pandoc-cli (By looking at the package contents of https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pandoc-cli/)

So if I were you I would first try the AUR and see if there's any package there that does.

It's when you open a publicly facing port and map (forward) it to a local port your machine. In this case, it's opened at the vpn provider's public gateway. Otherwise, it would typically be opened in your router instead.

You can then configure your torrent client to listen on that local port that the public port is forwarded to. I think generally the public and the local port are the same number when using VPN.

If you do that, then others have the ability to initiate a connection to you instead of only you being able to initiate the connection to somebody else.

When seeding/leeching to/from someone else, at least one of you needs a port open. So, if you always have one open, you allow yourself to connect to anyone on the network regardless if they have one open or not.

Sorry if I confused you more, I'm not that great at explaining.

I seed without cap, don't really need my upload for anything else. (500 Mbps)

What's the distro? I can help seed it indefinitely with open ports.

Yeah I don't want to be a nuisance to my office neighbours. Right now I'm using a logitech mx keys, I could try looking for an ansi version of that.

I will probably order a keychron with low profile switches for my home setup, so I depending on how quiet it is I might get that for work as well.

Huh? Yes it does. Unless you mean it's not cracked yet.

So you have never iterated over command line arguments and tried to identify options? Or taken a string input field?
