Another popular way is date based numbering. So the kernel just released could have been 2026.02, the next prolly 2026.05, the last 2025.11. It doesn't really matter.

Yes eclipse IDE does that and so do I for my own software releases. At some point although, version numbers were more indicative of major structural changes but not so much anymore if you look at Google chrome or Firefox release number for example.

About signing the updates and not putting the private key on the servers? Then, clean, not already infected clients downloading the update should simply reject it. I am puzzled I didn't see this mentioned anywhere yet.

I am glad you mentioned it. I regularly chat with my team members using ssh to a server running a irc client which is the login shell and the client connects to the local irc server running on the same said server.

For a quicker and dirtier solution, you mentioned it again, just use talk to avoid setting up a irc server.

Believe me here, I am not bragging in any way, just sharing my own experience while realizing people will come up with all kinds of no-no and I am willing to accept any objections. In other words, I am just saying. Not trying to convince anybody.

God forbid we're talking about a teenager who might want to show up at their job not all sweaty and disgusting.

Yeah, I could assume most kid jobs don't provide that but anyway; I worked for a big finance company where we had showers and lockers to put our suits into so we could shower and change clothes before going to wok. There was also a big locker to put our bikes into and you had to go through a security guard to get to it.
