The absolute best thing about it was that after suffering under Microsoft's shitty operating systems for years, you were running a Unix-like on your own hardware. That part was amazing.
I built soooo many kernels. đ
Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.
Trump blinks again.
Musk running illegal generators at his A1 farm... Coincidence?
To the rich, fines are just fees.
Whoever wrote that code is definitely the right team to rewrite social security.
The website couldn't handle 9000 submissions? That's embarrassing for us Oregonians... đ
I love TB, but I also love simplicity. I just configured mutt (which I haven't used in 20 years) and love how fast and easy it is. Of course, it took me days to get it where I needed it, but using it reminded me of how bloated these other apps can get after years of additions.
Glad to hear about the mail service.
FML. This reminds me I just got trn to built for reading Usenet. I'm reverting.
Public comment made. Thanks for the heads up.
Love it. I played so many of these games in the 80s. Makes me a nostalgic for a simpler time.
There are real risks with relying on a private company, owned by Elon Musk, as a channel for communications
Damn right. Time to fire up a mastodon instance.
I should have been more specific that this was a Pixel. Does your phone have a way to accomplish the same thing?
Agree. Did Google not kiss Trump's ass enough? Is that why they're still going after them?
On Android, hold the power button until the menu shows up, them choose "lockdown". The next unlock will require a PIN.
Rust has some big binaries due to static linkage, and the Rust coreutils gets around this Busybox-style, compiling everything into one binary that you hard link to. Pretty neat. The project is easy to build and mess with without installing if you're curious about it. And you could add the build dir to the front of your path if you want to try it out with low risk.
I noticed this on my web logs earlier. Couldn't believe how popular I was until I saw "AI" in the user agent string for 90% of the his.
Neat article about avoiding a memcpy in a circular buffer.
Sometimes, a seemingly simple and obvious solution can lead to a series of problems later on. This is especially true when adding retries.
I've never run a big system like this, but like the lead character in the story, I always figured exponential backoff would be enough. Turns out there's more.
Back in 1970, Sega introduced an arcade game that would pave the way for many of today's most popular video games. Known as Jet Rocket, the electromechanical marvel boasted several world-firsts â even though most people today don't know it ever existed.
This is a pretty cool analog arcade game. I never saw one when I was a kid... I'd have been hooked.
Explore the engineering of a car cigarette lighter through industrial CT scans, revealing an efficient analog design that operates without digital components.
This is an ad for something CT-scan-related, but it contains a good breakdown of how an old car cigarette lighter works. And it has a couple interactive CT Scan explorers past the video.
Decoding C Compilation Process: From Source Code to Binary
Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when you write a C program? How does your code transform from lines of text into a fully functional binary executable? If youâve been curious about the intricacies of the C program compilation process, youâve come to the right place.
