That name would really fit a retro computing port for classic Mac. Given that the last few major releases of classic Mac OS were 7, 8 and 9. I glanced at the title and thought it could be that... Getting old I guess. Edit: wow, I looked at

I wasn't sure. I had some kernel panics that I didn't dig deeply into, and I would sometimes use the image outside the VM to fsck it when HAOS would subsequently not recover.

by asveikau 2y ago
HAOS is absolutely terrible when it faces filesystem corruption. I faced this a few times when my HAOS image crashed. You can't even get it to fsck on boot when it happens. I think that's one big reason people on RPIs have is

That looks cool, but I don't see any config files shared.

by asveikau 2y ago
If gnustep has a Wayland backend that would be a logical pairing. I seem to recall WindowMaker had special support for gnustep's NeXT style detachable menus.

Yes, that's what I use it for. nc (netcat) is also similar.

A clean history and the ability to roll back to any point is still useful when working solo. Git bisect is one example of this. If you know roughly when a bug was introduced, you can do an O(log n) binary search to find what commit introduc

If it's something I work on habitually and keep clones of, I prefer to use gitk to browse a local repo over something like GitHub web ui. Maybe I've just gotten old though.

You're right, I forgot that it was common to not use source control. However I feel like it was pretty universally recognized to be the "proper" thing to do.

I remember following the openbsd stable branch about 20 years ago and it was indeed very slow to simply check out and update. Svn felt much better even though it wasn't a revolutionary improvement. I guess that's why the errata pa

Except when lithium batteries get old they start to lose double digit percentages in a couple hours. My experience anyway.

I highly recommend learning about rebase. Very handy to be able to re-order, re-word, merge multiple commits into one, fix issues within a commit ... Basically tidy up the history locally before you push it.

Maybe the battery is failing?

I think the best way is probably to check out the CVS repo on your machine, then run cvs log, and cvs diff. That's the way everybody used to work? I can't recall if there were local x11 visualizing tools like gitk is today. (Googl

They have a cvsweb instance on their website, but the UI is a little more old school than github, so the github mirror is often good for browsing anyway. https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/

> their status depended on this But it's not inevitable that people chase status and lord it over others. Doing that is a choice. People can always choose to focus on something more healthy and productive.

Syslinux? Has that been ported to efi? I have one machine, maybe a year old, that won't boot legacy bios anymore. Edit: yes, apparently there is a kind of barebones UEFI port. In that scenario syslinux is doing the work of grub. There

What I remember is that it was a cultural part of movie watching to rewind when the credits hit. You'd use that time to discuss what you saw with whoever you were viewing with. That's how I did it.

I haven't looked into any claims or followed these links, so I don't know what the limitation is. But abstractly, it's absolutely possible to write a program that decodes frame at a time and displays them slowly. Now, whether

Years ago I was curious about the discussion around vaping, so I found some articles claiming nicotine promotes cancer growth or makes existing cancers worse, but is not itself a carcinogen in isolation. I did that search again just now and

The public gets the privilege to be price gouged for stuff their taxes paid for. Doesn't sound like a good deal. Many will not have access at higher costs. Price gouging restricts access.
