    CL-PPCRE actually doesn't really do what most people think it does, cf https://applied-langua.ge/posts/omrn-compiler.html#orgd52b4a... (which instead does). A small tidbit: you don…

    The idea that "hard work, discipline, frugality" are Calvinist and Protestant inventions may be the most preposterous thing I've read today. As if the rest of the world or previous…

    Of course nobody sane wants something like this to happen. The problem isn't the people unable to make ends meets, it's the unwilling.

    https://nicotine-plus.org/ for the free software/UNIX people, by the way. I don't use it anymore since getting into private trackers because the network (central server) is proprie…

    I think it's appropriate to link to my blog post about building such a NAS but with very different technologies: dm-integrity, mdadm and XFS. The reason being that as a C/C++ dev f…
