Yep, and very easy to read on low resolution. Master Of Orion have 3x5 fonts and they are very clear and easy to read.

Oh I agree with you :) I love TUIs myself.. But we talk about Desktop OS like in TUI.. with is.. well.. hardcore :) Most of my tools are TUI really, because its much esier to develop. Code reusability is huge. You wrote some nice interactiv

While I love CLI and terminals this is like going backward, heh. Instead of making lightweight and lighting fast GUIs where you can render all your terminals and some other graphics, people try to form TUIs again. Yeah, they were great in 8

The only valid reason you mention here are legacy Windows, like 9x series. Anything NT based is happy with LF only if you have right tools. I never touched ReactOS, but I suspect is modern enough to handle LF only too. It was targeting Win2

Cygwin does NOTHING under the hood, because I asked it to do nothing. I am aware of text mode of open() under Windows/Mingw. Im also aware of possibility to do CRLF <-> LF translation under cygwin. I never liked it, and I went to

by Borg3 1y ago
Oh, its simple. There are many many flavors of UNIX and only one Windows. Hence, I see LF as more portable way to store source code, thats why it is prefered. Additionally, im heavy CLI user so again, more geared toward UNIX systems. If you

by Borg3 1y ago
But we do NOT need to setup CRLF translation at all? Who in his sane mind uses CRLF even under windows? All my source codes are in UNIX format (aka LF only) and I use it consistent under Windows, Cygwin and UNIX.. Why make your life harder?

Nah.. Ill grab any old HW between 2005-2015 they throw up :) Who say I need to run newest windows on them, eh? :)

Git wasnt designed for generic binary blob handling. Sure, if you repo is small and you set proper .gitattributes, it will work fine. But I would advise to use generic DVFS for such task.

If you want two-way distributed syncing, that is a bit more complicated and error prone, but most tools support it, even rsync. Simpler aproach is to have central primary node (whatever it desktop or storage) when you sync copy data and syn

by Borg3 1y ago
Then I think some syncing software like rsync will probably be better. Now sure how often you keep changing archived folders. I split that work TRASH like dirs and archives. When I done w/ files, I move them out of TRASH do proper plac

by Borg3 1y ago
Why? WHY?! Why the heck are you using (D)VFS on your immutable data? What is the reasoning? That stuff is immutable and usually incremental.. Just throw proper syncing algoritm on it and sync w/ backups.. thats all. I wonder aby logic

Oh, its time to bring Internet back to humans. Maybe its time to treat first layer of Internet just as transport. Then, layer large VPN networks and put services there. People will just VPN to vISP to reach content. Different networks, diff

Content correctness. If content is correct, but have low amount of votes, it just means its niche. Thats all. Still, it can be usefull to someone. If its downvotes to oblivion, it becomes filtered. I always tought that is is how voting syst

by Borg3 1y ago
I think people do not understand what the voting system is for. Its 3-state system. 1) Good content, you like it, you upvote it. 2) Bad content, harmful, misleading, downvote it. 3) Good or ok content, you dont like it, you do NOT downvote

Well, if you want more, you can just set it via: #define FD_SETSIZE <value> Just keep value sane ;) 4096 or 5120 should be okish.

by Borg3 1y ago
Oh, then this is management issue, not tooling. You need to sit down and analize where your stuff will be developled. Some very basic rules to start with: file names need to be all lower case (they are case-insensitive), use 7bit ASCII enco

ITER and cold fussion. Its either impossible (my opinion) or far too early. ITER itself will not even produce single watt of electricity. Its PoC for net positive energy gain from cold fussion (we will see...)

Yeah :) I have something a bit similar here. An old Ruby version compiled for Win32 (Win2000 and up) with graph library ready to use. 991k ruby.exe* I wrote performance monitor in it for fun: http://borg.uu3.net/~borg/?

Okey, yes.. Its a mix of HW/OS issue indeed. I remember my old gaming rig I assembled more than 10 years ago. Asus mother board, i5-760 CPU, ATI HD 6850. Win2003 as OS. All was tuned and it was really great. Basic DPC latency was aroun

by Borg3 1y ago
Im not really sure what are you talking about ;) HW become much much much faster. Mostly in speed of computing, but latency also dropped nicely. The letency bloat you see its 99% of software (OS). I still run Win2003 on modern desktop, and

Of course water is not destroyed. It gets contaminated. And to clean it up, you need energy. Basically, we can simplify those equation to pretty much single argument: energy. Whatever you do, it needs energy. And people really really comes

Hehe :) Okey.. I have sth easier to write.. but smaller: 15kB quickrun.exe :) C, pure Win32 API.. No hacks to shrink binary, Mingw32 compiler. Its GUI app to quickly launch any application via alias.

by Borg3 1y ago
Because its snappy, have great GUI, I control it, I have all the tools for maintenance (compilers, DDK, disassemblers).. I know, there pretty nice Linux distros that are lightweight and snappy too. One day... :) but not yet :)

by Borg3 1y ago
Probably WSL1.. Yeah.. But why should I bother with it if Cygwin does the work just fine? :)
117.
by Borg3 1y ago
Because I want more tight coupling with Win32 OS. Im old Cygwin user here. Actually, I cant work on Windows without Cygwin. Its very first thing installed on fresh system so I can bring all my tools with it :) I have free access to entire F

by Borg3 1y ago
Yeah. It was indeed great, I was using for 10 years, then moved to Win2003 with I still use. But I think Win2003 is even better. It have better kernel, proper SMP support (multicore), good PAE support (16GB RAM), newer drivers, etc :)

As someone who still runs Win2003 R2 (32bit) on my desktop I can confirm. It was peak MS. System is very stable, UI (classic) is great. It is quick, snappy and good looking. For basic POSIX I have cygwin. For other stuff I use VMs. I have a
