Huh. My memory's slightly different on that, but I can't find the source to cite so I'm can't argue it.

D'oh! Yes, Offut, of course. My Google-fu is failing me right now, but when we lived in Nebraska, there was a long article in the Omaha World-Herald (I'm fairly sure) talking about…

This was a big thing for drone people based out of Eppley AFB in Omaha. Wake up, drive to work, attack enemies, drive home, sit there eating dinner with your family trying to prete…

Fortunately, they tend to be muted faster than on a lot of other sites. Turn on showdead and you can see a bunch of jerks complaining about censorship after their awful opinions ge…

Sometimes the Internet still manages to astonish me, I tell ya.

Go ahead and say “black people” if that’s what you mean. No, this absolutely does not make sense, anywhere, for any “demographic”, and you should be ashamed for even saying that.

There was something about the shebang method that made someone else that I wanted to use not work but I forget the details. In any case, just is very nice — I just like mise more a…

One issue with Just is that by default each line in a recipe is executed in a sub shell. Set a variable in line 1 and you can’t use it in line 2. Mise `run` blocks are embedded she…

And then AMD64 came along and we immediately moved to 8GB servers, taking away the only real Itanium advantage.

What in terminal ads do you mean? I don’t recall ever seeing an ad of any kind in mise. Not saying you’re wrong, just that our experiences are different here.

> Shared custom bangs across my sessions. I can add work-specific bangs (e.g. !bug -> Jira search) and have them available across my devices. I’ve been on Kagi for 2 years and just…

I was on the "just use makefiles" boat way too long, except it was Just at the time that was calling for my attention. At first glance, they look similar. Make's already there, so …

Why wasn’t Kermit used by BBSes? Even at the time I remember having read about it in computer magazines, but I got my first modem in ‘82 or so and I don’t recall ever seeing it in …

BTW, this is darn near to being bullet journaling. It’s also almost exactly how I ended up taking notes after experimenting with bullet journaling and throwing out the parts I don’…

I gladly pay for Kagi because the experience is so much better that it’s worth it to me.

I think it's amazing that this project exists, and I have much respect for the authors. Well done. Still, I don't want to get stuck lying to my OS to make its features work on my h…

Synology is truly dead to me now. I used their stuck mostly happily since my first DS412+ way back when. But this thing with locking down features to require their own branded driv…

Excellent point. We absolutely should not care that the people we hire to protect are are sometimes convicted of harming us. It's only a few hundred victims a year so we should utt…

You keep saying that but I disagree strongly. Having looked at both fnox and secretspec, there are some obvious similarities because they're both in the same space, interacting wit…

Seconded. I've also had great luck with the same author's fnox secret manager, especially because you can tell it to fetch some secrets from the user's laptop's OS keychain, and so…

Who did Doctorow run out of business?

For a short while in the 80s, little plastic or rubber face protectors were trendy. They had little vertical bumpers that covered the watch face from top to bottom. That’s how my f…

I LOLed. Amazing. Bravo!

I'm not familiar with it, which makes me want to add it to the reading stack.

Not them, but I read Moby Dick last year. Man, I felt like I'd been lied to. It's kind of a laughing stock reference to giant old-timey books that were famous for being famous and …
