And bear in mind, not everyone had electricity, not to speak of central heating. You had lots of chimneys everywhere. LMAO is this most houses where I live in New Zealand. Smoke coming out of chimneys for people to keep warm, often burnin

is FreeBSD any worse than a minimalist linux distro like Arch in this regard?

I could do FreeBSD on my laptop I think. I don't play games, and I've been wanting to play around with kqueue. Is it sort of like OpenBSD? I liked their manpages and their built in server thing (httpd). or is it completely differe

This such a rabbit hole. I only really knew of multics as 'the thing before unix'. I had no idea it was interesting in its own right. I have to stop myself reading or I'll be downloading the papers (I love old comp sci papers

I'm very much starting to re-consider open source. It mainly seems to be a way for already incredibly wealthy companies to get things for free, or to strategically release things to crush their competitors. Maybe we ought to go back to

I mean the British invented railways, doesn't mean they have a good train system in 2025.

I miss the dadgum blog. Full of short, readable, but insightful articles about sometimes very obscure technological stuff. He was in my inspiration in trying very hard to write short posts this year - because I realise almost no one wants t

Timely reminder to all UK people - your system is 100% set up to allow you to easily and legally change your government without bloodshed. This is the benefit of a constitutional monarchy. By "changing your government" I don'

Great article, but I have a question: The problem with naive async I/O in a database context at least, is that you lose the durability guarantee that makes databases useful. When a client receives a success response, their expectation

This looks like such an interesting articles, but it's completely ruined by the fact that every sentence is its own paragraph. I swear I am not just trying to be a dick here. If I didn't think it had great content I wouldn't

Author here! I pointed to tigerbeetle because they're one of the few companies I know of who 1) have a philosophy about dependencies and 2) talk about it openly in an easy to quote document. I'm not sure if I succeeded, but I want

Does gemini have any concept of feeds or pub/sub? I noted there were a few capsules that acted as a sort of hub for other peoples capsules. which suggested to me there was a way to automate it, and I might be able to make my own

I think it's a bit of a childish fantasy to paint one regime is open and the other as having no dissent at all. The USA absolutely has its overton window, and if you step outside it, bank accounts get shut, you're put on secret no

Whatever capabilities Russia has to groom LLMs and and spread disinformation is completely dwarfed by the capabilities of Israel/America. Meaning, yes, you probably do hear Kremlin propaganda, but you have been awash with Israeli/

Yandex is goated for stuff US companies and their "partners" don't want to show you search results for, esp WRT politics and world events, I assume that Russian dissidents must ironically use google et al for the same reasons

Down here, the moon looks technically the same, but it's 180 degrees rotated because we're standing upside-down when we look at it. We are standing the right way up your northernist simp. They are the ones who are wrong. Never f
