Psychedelicatessen is an awesome name for a headshop. :-)

I saw it in 1999, it was not very finished, but already an impressive sight. We tried to climb the tower, but it was very busy that day (probaby like any other day). We did visit Park Guell, though, on that same day, which was less crowded,

Same here. Firefox 123.0.1 on openSuse Tumbleweed.

That's why I wrote "naively". I know it's more complicated than I made it sound. It's the same with companies using mainframes, after a while you are so deeply invested (both financially and technically) that migrat

"a specialist advisory company helping clients deal with Oracle licenses" I would (naively, I know) imagine that if you need to hire a third party to help you sort out your licenses with a vendor, you would do whatever it takes to

I had a C128 as a kid, but I almost exclusively booted into C64 mode to play games. I did have a CP/M floppy, but I only booted it once or twice, had no clue what to do with it, and forgot about it quickly.

In Germany, they are called Weberknechte, at least where I live. I recall reading they have a variety of nicknames in different parts of the country.

According to Wikipedia, all species have stink glands, but I have never noticed any smell about them. They sometimes will eject a leg when handled, and the leg will continue twitching for a while, similar to what some lizards do.

I used to kill them mercilessly, until I saw like three "outdoor" spiders ending up as meals in their webs in my apartment within days of each other. I have since left them to their own devices. I am not a big fan of spiders, but

They do have long legs compared to their body size, so the name is not entirely inaccurate. Unlike guinea pigs or elephant shrews.

You could try bochs. It's a full-blown emulator and probably much slower, but it might do a better job at giving 1990s software a comfortable environment.

In a recent attack of nostalgia, I attempted to try and get SuSE Linux 7.0 running in a virtual machine, the first GNU/Linux distro I ever used. I could not find a an emulator and combination of settings that would run the system in a

Once again, sauerkraut saves the day? I don't need an excuse to enjoy sauerkraut, but it doesn't hurt. Guten Appetit, everyone!

The images were less disturbing than I had expected. That poor frog, though.

I've met a few people who had a clearly visible bald spot at that age (including my father, fortunately I got my hair from my mother). Not many, but it happens.

I suspect the licensing played a role in it, actually. With Linux being GPL, no single vendor could - in theory at least - take the code and make a proprietary fork. It became a neutral ground, so to speak, where corporate contributors coul

I suppose with up to eight eyes, you can get a lot reading done.

Makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up! I really do learn something new every day.

I wonder if spiders have fights over who gets to build their net next to that big, bright lantern. Those must be prime real estate for them.

> they were too expensive I think this is the biggest problem, plus the fact these systems tend to be tied to proprietary - and also very expensive - hardware platforms. If I want to learn about GNU/Linux or BSD, all I need is a com

> sandboxing of Java applets, for example – which didn't work out as well as its inventors had hoped. Now that must be the most diplomatic understatement I've come across in a long time.

I thoroughly enjoy these deep dives into CPU architectures. I forget most of it within seconds after reading it, because I have no practical interest in it. But it is fun to get a look underneath the pavement so to speak.

Great album. (Of course, all of their albums are great in my book. ;-) )

I did my training at Deutsche Telekom, and our instructors told us a story of an ISP that tried to sell a flatrate working over the D-channel; apparently they had some reliability issues and did not last long. That must have been in 2003 or

For some reason I started using w3m with emacs integration years ago and am very comfortable with it. I know eww exists, but I think I only tried it once or twice.

Thank you! I'll give that a try.

You can use the man pages as your reference. Another comment also mentioned a test suite. I think using that to check how equivalent your attempt is does not violate the GPL.

The BSD projects' userlands have been used by other projects. If I want a Unix-like userland that is permissively licensed, I already have several to choose from. Is there any pressing need to be bug-for-bug compatible to the GNU count
