When Adobe shut down its activation servers for CS2, they released a fully offline version of CS2 with pre-activated keys, which they also released. This is available on the Internet Archive and it could actually help some folks. This is on

Thank you for sharing. This is awesome. To everyone here who wants to try running OpenVMS natively today, they can run it on an x86-64 machine (includes AMD processors). Check out VMS Software and apply for a community license.

I've actually seen this particular library used (and misused and abused). People tried to offload I/O and data heavy tasks on it and was a spectacular fail, with multiple threads getting blocked and people having to frequently adj

Lack of maintenance suggests that stable working drivers were never there? Or that means the interfaces are volatile? The kernel developers are just making things worse if they want no compatibility across the kernel releases unless they ha

I do not want to comment in particular about Itanium. But I have a slew of concerns around old hardware removal, especially drivers like the QLogic 10GBE NICs gone[1]. It means that old software that could potentially virtualize Linux with

I saw this post and asked myself this: Why can't modern Linux even run graphical installers on 384 MB of RAM? See: https://x.com/_vkaku/status/1721347077169696804?s=46 I tried installing Bookworm 12.2 /

Yes - and the point of adding this is to ensure that the user is warned when this happens.

This prevents them from actually misusing their certificate on blanket spying programs. Every browser that allows you to configure your trusted list in a more manageable way is one more hurdle these CAs have to cross.

Then a first time setup may be okay. People assume everything is safe because there's a green lock icon but the situation must change for improving the actual users privacy. While dialogue fatigue is true, browsers can take care of off

I disagree with the current approach. Corporate users do not have a control over this, nor will people where governments try to propose a law forcing people to accept crony CAs to the trusted list.

In theory, you know whom you are talking to. In practice though, every company and authoritarian government wants to sniff, be it through https proxies or enterprise-wide certificates.

I've talked about TLS before, it is a bane on the Internet in its current form. Here is what users need from any browser that cares about the user: - An option to not use OS supplied root certificates. Instead, to customize and set up

We need an events w/ providers framework. If you can afford to put your providers credentials and build all these integrations, it will work. You need to provide reasonable abstractions between them (Uber/Lyft use the same abstrac

I think what someone needs to do is integrate an events/trigger system and add SARIMA based normalization. Then we're looking at a DataDog replacement.

- S3/R2/GS - Github Pages / Cloudflare Pages - Heroku / Cloudflare Workers - ngrok Take your pick. You can get a lot done with many of these and with a free quota.

GTA1 and GTA2 were released for free as Rockstar Classics and you should be able to find a copy on the Internet Archive, if not on Rockstar. Cheers!

This is great. I was wondering why Apple doesn't make any daemons on Swift for their cloud yet - as much as I see stuff bring built on Java. This sort of exercise needs to get done to bring Swift up to date with other native stacks, be

Thank you for sharing this. TBH Tracking that thread is like a Pepe Silvia meme now. I think everyone will benefit from an updated HX, SBEMU and JEMMEX release + Summary in that post. :)

Try adding anything with quotes and multiple lines, and you'll quickly realize that YAML works better than JSON here. JSON as-is has fewer types and some things are better realized with the JSONNET way than stock.

This is great. Good to see standardized testing improvements to the pg_regress add-on. YAML does better than JSON when it comes to readability. To an extent, TOML as well.

I was trying to see what is needs to get llama.cpp running (just working first) on most bare minimum PCs, and the answer is very little.

Awesome. I loved BeOS back in the day. Waiting for Haiku to make a release.

Awesome, the person who asked the question also answered it. Great stuff this is :-) Plus I'm so happy people care about retrocomputing. It's great to document these problems and solutions for everyone.
