"Cheap" and "Alpha" would have been hard to pull of simultaneously. But it would have been really cool.

Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - I also starting writing a Lisp interpreter in Python. I also called it Lispy. This time, the coincidence is less remarkable though,…

Just as I was thinking to myself that it might be fun to play around with Lisp again, this shows up in my news ticker. Coincidence?

The blue-footed booby deserves a place in the top 10, IMHO. But I see the competition is fierce.

Rest in peace, Mister Salus.

I remember running CoLinux back in my training days ~2005-2006. It seemed a bit like black magic to me at the time, but it worked quite well for my needs. But CoLinux - IIRC - requ…

I had the same reaction.

The outcome is the same, yes. With incompetence, there is at least a glimmer of hope things will get rectified. But you are correct, trust is destroyed this way, and it doesn't loo…

True, however, that has been the case for quite a while. This particular incident doesn't change that, except for the VeraCrypt developer, who is in a crappy situation now (not jus…

As much as I like bashing Microsoft, never underestimate people's capacity for incompetence, especially where large organizations are involved. I don't see how they would gain anyt…

STRICT tables are something I appreciate very much , even though I cannot recall running into a problem that would have prevented by its presence in the before-time. But it's good …

Tell that to Raymond Chen! ;-D

The full title, "The cover of C++: The Programming Language raises questions not answered by the cover" was too long for HN, apparently.

I haven't switched to pkgbase. Yet. I don't intend to for the time being. I set up a VM to test it, but I haven't gotten around to actually testing it.

Last I heard (~8 years ago), the RAID-like functionality in btrfs was very unstable and crash-prone. The impression I got was that there was not a lot of interest in fixing this. T…

On openSUSE Tumbleweed, it is. Each Upgrade creates two snapshots, one before, one after, and if anything goes wrong, I can boot into a snapshot where the world was still in order.…

I have not thus far had anything to do with containers, so docker is unknown territory for me. I run audiobookshelf in a Debian VM via bhyve, but I was gonna run a Debian VM anyway…

My home server has been running FreeBSD for ten years now, and it has never let me down. Except for one time I got fresh with /dev/speaker and triggered a spontaneous reboot (I don…

I chickened out. :(

Rest in peace.

...just as soon as Linux takes over the desktop! ;-)

> this is possible via snapper on Linux + btrfs but needs complex installation and is not so integrated FWIW, openSUSE defaults to btrfs on the root filesystem and uses snapper in …

Huh. If you go through the hazing of installing arch without that new installation script, it is consistent, I suppose. One thing in favor of this approach, is that it is very stra…

You mean people still log into a virtual terminal and call startx? (blushing emoji) I mean, if that's the way they like it, that's fine. It feels a bit quaint, though, at least to …
