Viewing profile — chungy

> Seriously though, why still publish CD formats when a usb-stick is far more ubiquitous and much easier to actually write. You can make ISO images that boot fine from both CD and …

Guix solves the same problem in similar ways, though it uses Scheme as its configuration language.

Different use cases than QEMU, honestly, to the point that there's not much overlap. QEMU is extremely good at running modern operating systems, and not so much at older ones (DOS …

Files in Git don't have timestamps, only commits do. It got swept up when `git commit --date=...` was run.

Funny part is, that NFSv4 supports SIDs for user authentication, but the Linux implementation leaves it out (among all the other ACL features) simply on the basis that Linux doesn'…

Related: Fossil has a `fusefs` subcommand: https://fossil-scm.org/home/help/fusefs The DIRECTORY/checkins/ directory doesn't list out anything by itself, but you can look things up…

Consider Fossil[1], which packages the entire repository state—code history, wiki, tickets, forum—into a single file, and that state gets cloned. When/if you need to change hosting…

It was actually part of Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95. It wasn't directly available for Windows 98 at all, but the Windows 98 install disc does include an INF file so you can inst…

Delphi and Lazarus are still kicking, the latter is free and open source. I know you asked for "the language", but Object Pascal really ain't that bad to get around. If you were pr…

Too vague of a question to give you an answer you'll likely sound satisfactory :) You probably just needed to create indexes over your data to speed things up.

> "Right joins are just left joins in the wrong direction, you don't need that crap" SQLite has supported all types of joins since version 3.39 in 2022.

I have bad news for you: Zip supports storing extended attributes as well.

Is Radicle an alternative to Fossil?

This is a current architectural limitation, manifests (defining check-ins) and tickets are different types of artifacts and you cannot combine the card types into the same artifact…

> (Of course Fossil actively opposes "pull requests", separate issue) Not opposition, but very little incentive for the primary developers to implement the feature. Fossil's own de…

> Other VCSes like fossil store issues alongside the repo. Technically the issues in Fossil are part of the repository, along with the wiki, code, forum, etc. They come along with …

What are you really proposing? That a first ".INDEX" entry be made that contains the offsets of all the other members? That could work in a backwards-compatible way (as long as no …

Zip has a central directory you could just query, instead of having to construct one in-memory by scanning the entire archive. That's significantly less work.

Zip allows you to set compression algorithm on a per-file basis, including no compression.

There's not a whole lot of interest in making Windows 9x run well on QEMU. These days especially, it's better to just use 86Box for those operating systems.
