Things like configs and install locations are always where you expect on NetBSD. It’s quite refreshing. Linux feels very messy in comparison.

PS3 and Nintendo Switch OS use FreeBSD components.

Pretty uncharitable reading of the comment which happens to be explicitly a violation of the rules of this forum. It’s natural to use the most popular item in a family as a yardsti…

Anyone could write a post about what they consider a method to do great work. 99.9% would be uninteresting including Paul’s and 99.9% wouldn’t be on HN’s front page including Paul’…

> the privacy friendly browsers just exist to serve ads when I think about it Not LibreWolf. I’m also a fan of ungoogled-chromium, those are my two daily browsers.

There’s something cringey about having a zillion dollars and then using your cash soapbox to bloviate to everyone about how to be great-like-me.

A library and working OS utilities including a browser are not the same thing. A year or so ago I was able to get 1 very old browser working but nothing else had TLS. The browser a…

It’s a blocker bc it’s complex and not available. By blocker I mean huge hurdle, not so much saying it’s impossible. Your link shows work has been done there.

I fucking love SDF. It’s like a shining beacon of the old school computing scene that’s still standing. If you need an excuse, it’s great for a box to SSH into to ping or tracerout…

The big blocker is actually TLS. Without it lots of tools including browsers are blocked. Now with AI I bet it is manageable, before that the effort required resulted in what you s…

I can see crafting line by line when I’m retired or for a personal project. It’s eventually going to be like the people now who still operate restored manual linotype machines. “Lo…

Laws are meaningless de jure. Especially where megacorps are concerned, the de facto law (ie the only one that matters) is the text, multiplied by the enforcement mechanism, multip…

This is my design as well, didn’t realize Nix arrived at it. Help renders the man page.

Check out Apple Garamond. What’s old is new.

> 16.7.x (excluding 16.7 RC) and 17.0.1+ will NEVER be supported (unless a third CoreTrust bug is discovered, which is unlikely). I am 100% over the walled garden, lock out, right …

If anyone has a good reason to need to know they can email me.

load bearing, key insight, push back, “it’s not x, it’s y”

Great so I can use a CSS rule to hide anything with the flag.

Know him in real life. Don’t meet your heroes.

Clock hour schools have been held to this standard forever. It’s called gainful employment. It was always bullshit that credit hour schools didn’t have this standard, as if it was …

Check out Clojure spec. The light dark bifurcation doesn’t hold up.

I’ve found that it can do it, but the aesthetics of the diagrams it generates are awful. I end up going back to manual Omnigraffle. There is an art to designing the human to human …

Subscription is ~$200/month. When I tried running on tokens it was ~$500/day for the same usage pattern. My guess is my usage is atypically high, but even if the average equivalent…

You’re making an equally nebulous point, as if all govt regulation is good and overreach doesn’t exist by definition or something.

Have you tried rector?
