Same here, I had not heard of anyone using elm these days. I have seen similar titles for old software bouncing around, one example is ical, the tck/tk calendar application I use to use. I keep running across ical and my first thought

Plus when Bush took over, looks like he had the DOJ drop the case. At least under Clinton they were trying, though incompetently as you said.

Does this place exist ? Would be nice if it existed, but not sure how it would last these days. Reminds of the old Greek Cafes that I heard about where I grew up. An old timer told me during the 1920/30s, the city police force, mostl

This article is just referring to just one building. But it does have a point and may be showing a trend to something like "the free market works". Until cities solve the rent crisis, I believe this will happen more and more. I

It is a joke, didn't you see the "tin-foil" hat phrase? But there to get people thinking abut the why as opposed to the what.

if you are reading a file amd put a read lock on it, vi(1) will refuse to write to it, but can read it.

What does this mean ? IIRC ^t has been in the BSD for over 20 years, maybe even in early days. ^t just maps to a signal.

Good to know, I would trust GNU as opposed to a proprietary solution.

FWIW, I decided to compare the compress size between xz(1) and a very large 7z file, using 'xz -9'. Sizes: * uncompress: 36,495,045,244 * gz: 18,729,830,001 * xz: 16,739,567,484 * 7z: 16,257,755,606 7z ended up being about 480 meg

Since MacOs is based upon a BSD, ^t should work fine on it.

This is one thing I really miss on Linux when compared with the BSDs, especially with dd(1). On BSD you can press ^t to see the status of a command. All you need to do is issue this command to activate it: % stty status '^t' btw

The truth is, all companies want to be above the law. In reality once a company reaches a certain size and can afford a large team of good overpaid lawyers and lobbyists, they become above the law (at least in the US). All these companies w

To me, investing in FL is a long term looser, not because pf politics but because of Climate Change. It has been there for a bit over 50 years, 50 years from now, the potential exists that it will be a place only mermaids can visit.

I like 7zip except for one thing, you cannot redirect it to stdout, or I could not find a way of doing that. 7z -something < file.7z | whatever > out.file Personally, I would use 'xz -9' if I wanted high compression, it work

Do people remember the anthrax scare in the early 2000s ? I thought Congress authorized scanning for anthrax and bombs. Now they want to take it away ? IMHO this is just a fund raiser for the 2024 elections. Once they get good press, the
