I've had a lot of use of the stand-alone ruffle application, I have a bit over a tib of old flash files, and it's a pleasure to be able to dive into this part of online history and relive many of that late 90s whimsy ^_^

This is another reason for the wide front of enshittification, there's so much of everything, nobody has to care about quality because they don't care if you come back, as long as you consumed one, there's enough other people

My first impulse is to scream obscenities at you because I've seen this argument so many times repeated that I tend just keep quiet.. I don't think you can't understand, but I think you refuse to. You're basically saying

Ah, I took it as you suggesting the ISPs providing VPS services for people.. Thing is, that edge infrastructure has been there from the beginning of broadband and is only recently beginning to slip away, with the advent of ISP NAT, agressiv

I know it was, but the click-baity headline makes it seem like you're becoming independent of the whims of private companies, which you are very much not if you're renting a host somewhere. You're definitely not a property ow

I think this only shifts the problem, the whole idea with the internet is a distributed network of computers that talk with each other, and if the computers at the edge (end users) can't do that, then it's no longer the internet,

I don't want to gatekeep, I want to gate-unkeep! The way things are going, we're divinding the people and the companies into two classes, with the former having fewer rights and privileges than the latter. I want everyone to have

So this is a blog stating to be an owner and not a renter, and then proceeds to talk about how to rent hosting.. Sorry, but if it's not your hardware, on your property, then you're renting. Regulations have been waay too lose on,

Christmas of 1996, a ten year old boy was spending christmas day in front of his TV, connected to it was his Commodore 64. The boy was angry and sad, and ashamed of being angry and sad, because his parents couldn't afford to buy him a

Wow, that's amazing.. I think this is the first time I've felt sick to my stomach watching AI generated content.. A sadness rush over me. Because these look so good, like every soul-less super-high quality shovel-ware asset ever m

I actually like javascript. I want types, like typescript, but instead of compilation, there should be a "boot type check" which does about the same checks as tsc, but the types should be first-class, available at runtime, so I ca

Oh, i meant that ntfs is a lot better than fat16/32. I mainly use linux, and I like ext4 and love zfs, but ntfs is also reasonably stable.

Raymond Chens blog and book (The Old New Thing) is an absolute delight! I always had a big respect for how intuitive the Windows 95 GUI is, and reading his description of the thoughts and methods behind its inception, it's no surprise

This is true, however, with the readahead cpu's usually do anyway, I don't even think it's that bad.. There is definitely a performance and capacity cost, but again, technically, that capacity cost is also present in ECC memo

I had a quick play with that program, it's quite fun! I'd have spent hours with it back in the day! :o But _EVEN_MORE_COOL_ this is Rudy Ruckers github profile! He is one of my absolute favorite authors! Love Gibson and Stephenson

it just dawned on me how trivially simple it would be for memory controllers to implement ECC in UDIMMs, for every N words, reserve 1 word for parity. You gain ECC for a small decrease in capacity. Since the memory controller is on the CPU,

Just the things I already keep updated local mirrors of. It's less than 100 TiB, and I think that if the Internet went away right now, I'd be okay information/entertainment wise for the rest of my life.

On the surface, this absurdity is entertaining, but it's scary, like, proper actual _SCARY_ because the lack of.. sense, is so all encompassing. It tells the story of how it's simply impossible to get beyond the surface, beyond th

I kind of agree, but the way the internet is going, with everyone being behind carrier-grade nat, it's not much of a decentralized network of computers anymore, not to mention all the kids with their laptops and tablets not even hostin

For smaller games, there's some charm in not making a game engine, and not using one either, but just writing the game, sure this falls apart easily, if you find yourself needing something you're not able/willing to make from

Wow. This is actually very very good. It's the best UI for docker I've seen so far. It's also very fast. I'll be using this from now on. Thanks!
