I care about stability. Its a must. And my Win2003 is absolutly reliable. In old desktop I had random BSODs due to driver issue. Some Audio driver was not happy about PAE and 8GB RAM. After long fight I isolated faulty .sys driver and decid

Not bad. I like KISS concepts. I personally run old Cacti instance for monitoring here. Not that simple as uMon, but not very complicated either. And even wrote cacti_con CLI like graph viewer, to see specific port of that fat 100+ ports ca

Hmm, I think I never heard of it.. Looks really cool.. Ill keep an eye on it! Thanks.

Yeah, I am aware of that problem. Windows seems to store TIME differently that UNIX so it should be all right here. But I have dozens of old Linux 32 bit servers here and there... As for RAM, well I have 16GB RAM and its pretty much upper l

Yeah, I track ReactOS. Unfortunately, its not stable to my needs. I would really like it in better shape.. Im too old/tired to try to contribute to it sadly :( Writing OS today is nightmare because of drivers. HW vendors are shady, HW

Well, I have them, but they arent really Win2003 but XP.SP1, and they seems to be incomplete. If you have better source, I am all ears :D Anyway, those sources are handy to check some internals of Win2003. I have few binaries hex edited so

I yet to have to find my new great OS. Im 100% sure it wont be Windows. I have an eyes on some minimalistic Linux distro. But who knows, maybe Haiku will grow enough, before I will be forced to make a switch. As for staying in past, im not

Oh well, he does it for fun. I do it daily, running Win2003 and last PaleMoon browser that works on WinXP. Why? Because I really like XP/2003. Sure, I could run Firefox 52 ESR, but it looks like junk and its slow. Palemoon on warm cach

I have quite a bit of tools/progs or game mods that pretty much nobody uses. Mostly because they are very niche and long dead OS. Same for games, nobody plays them anymore. Is this making me sad? A bit, because would be cool to share a

Its a shame that .lan and .wan arent on lists too.

Ahh ok, this makes sense. Well, I barely use my corpo Win10. I hate it. Cygwin64 helps a lot, but still if I can do work on my desktops Ill do it there. Basic stuff can be done on Win10 in shell (bash). So, cannot say much about Win10 + msy

Hmm, I think I am not following. Why using msys2 bash on top of WSL2? You either using WSL or cygwin/msys2. GIT is slower on cygwin, especially stat() with do hacks to check for +x mode. But once cache is warm, it works fine. Albeit, I

Cygwin64? Im using it all the time on Windows 10. Without it I would be huge pain to use Windows at all. Pretty much everything works fine over cygwin64, I didnt yet find a tool that has problems. And I like that its just cygwin.dll providi

Q1:C Q2:A Q3:C Q4:D Q5:A And when I saw answers I smiled, Right! because he didnt specified platform. Yeah C can be devious, but I still love it! Its my favorite language. And Ruby for scripting.

Ugh. Ive been both using ClearCase and also were Admin of it. While as user it was pretty fine to use, as Admin I saw how complicated and fragile the whole thing was. They distributed model is absolutly terrible. You need powerfull box as a

Thats interesting.. Did you had any system crash recently? Or maybe disk full? The only moment I think this is the only way to loose object like this. Anyway, If this is your only repo containing those branches then its gone. The only way y

Right. Because there is only google. And we should all use them. sigh

Think twice click once. I suggest you use that maxima or one day you will accidently delete yourself. And this is inreversal operation. ;)

I myself went to other way around. While my VPN infra is very stable, I went into repo route. I use my very simple DVFS repo utility to sync files and never looked back. I like to have multiple copies of stuff here and there.

Yes yes.. And yet many many young people in US are against second amendment. I wonder how they will be able to defend they property from criminals and goverment (police) without all those guns. Unless they want live "easy" life (a

Anyone know how to upload maps files into app? I do NOT want to download maps from their servers. Is it possible?

Ahh, ok, then indeed bad wording. Fix up the orginal article :) Im always strict what is going into VCS. Anything that is generated or preprocessed should not belong there.

PMODE/32 (and PMODEW/32) was another small and pretty popular DOS extender. I used it myself with WATCOM compiler and TASM occasionally :) Another one was CWSDPMI. Just found it on my old backups. As for DOS4GW popularity, it all

I damn agree. Especially older cygwin stuff is very very fast. I personally still use my own fork of cygwin-1.3 DLL for my old windoze. Works like a charm and I can use cool terminal (bash) with all CLI tools I love so much.

by Borg3 3y ago
Hmm, I've read this one: "These .xlf files are generated and contain translated strings for each locale." So why to store them under VCS at first place? I think they are doing it wrong.

Uh oh Uh oh.. Im still running Win2003 :) But dark clouds are on horizon... What to choose? I cannot find good replacemenent. Recently I tried haiku on VM and found 3 bugs right away :(

Backups arent that hard really. A lot of interesting tools. Imo handling day to day docs/data/mutables is harder. Hence im happy to use simple DVFS repo manager. No need to do backups of those :) Stuff is stored usualy on desktop,

Nah, people just need to wake up and start building own infra. Everyone just waits for some white knight to pour money at infra to backup stuff for them. No, DO sth usefull. In good old days people used to have small web servers to host per
