Doctor Yueh put an object on the table between them - black, oblong, no larger than the end of Paul's thumb. "It is a very old Orange Catholic Bible made for space travelers. Not a filmbook, but actually printed on filament paper.

There are UIs on Linux (& *BSDs) that you cant get anywhere else - tiling window managers. I'd argue that a tiling WM is the greatest UI for a poweruser/programmer/devops. There is a learing curve, but once you memorize a

I never shot kodachrome, but did shoot a lot of medium format provia and velvia with a Rolleiflex TLR in 2004-2015. I made prints from the slides digitally, because direct printing with cibachrome/ilfochrome was virtually unobtainable.

I used to have the client per directory setup too. But then took it one step further. Now for every client i set up a separate VMWare Workstation virtual machine with all the relevant git config files, ssh keys, software and build dependenc

Why would you even try the PPC version on Catalina? Snow Leopard (from 2009) was the last mac os to support ppc. The intel version is i386. 32bit, which is not supported on Catalina either/

Probably it is better to forget a strong password and reset it, than use a weak password that is easy to remember. Last year I was working on a service that skipped passwords altogether. We used the phone number and a one time pin code by s
