  • You don’t actually have to set all the modification dates to now, you can pick any other timestamp you want. So to preserve the order of the files, you could just have the script sort the list of files by date, then update the modification date of the oldest file to some fixed time ago, the second-oldest to a bit later, and so on.

    You could even exclude recently-edited files because the real modification dates are probably more relevant for those. For example, if you only process files older than 3 months, and update those starting from "6 months old"1, that just leaves remembering to run that script at least once a year or so. Just pick a date and put a recurring reminder in your calendar.

    1: I picked 6 months there to leave some slack, in case you procrastinate your next run or it’s otherwise delayed because you’re out sick or on vacation or something.










  • If this is something you run into often, it’s likely still only for a limited number of servers? ssh and scp both respect .ssh/config, and I suspect (but haven’t tested) that sftp does too. If you add something like this to that file:

    Host host1 host2
      Port 8080
    

    then SSH connections to hosts named in that first line will use port 8080 by default and you can leave off the -p/-P when contacting those hosts. You can add multiple such sections if you have other hosts that require different ports, of course.





  • In fact, unless you post your domain somewhere online or its registration is available somewhere, it’s unlikely anyone will ever visit your server without a direct link provided by you or someone else who knows it.

    If you use HTTPS with a publicly-trusted certificate (such as via Let’s Encrypt), the host names in the certificate will be published in certificate transparency logs. So at least the “main” domain will be known, as well as any subdomains you don’t hide by using wildcards.

    I’m not sure whether anyone uses those as a list of sites to automatically visit, but I certainly would not count on nobody doing so.

    That just gives them the domain name though, so URLS with long randomly-generated paths should still be safe.







  • According to Halioua’s post, breeding large dogs for their size caused elevated levels of IGF-1, a hormone that promotes cell growth. Though this hormone contributes to the animals’ great size, it also hastens their aging. LOY-001 reduces the levels of IGF-1 in large and giant dog breeds, extending healthy life spans.

    Would that also cause them to grow to smaller sizes? (I suppose that may depend on whether this drug is administered before or after the dog is full-grown though)
