Sort of, but be warned it wont automatically revert a time machine backup of your Tahoe files to a Sequoia system, you have to manually copy them. Similarly you have to recovery bo…

I've just gone through the rather painful and protracted process of reverting from Tahoe to Sequoia.'Reverting' rather than 'downgrading' since Tahoe is in no sense an upgrade. I c…

I used to live just down the road from Fred Dibnah's house when I was in my early 20's. It was quite an interesting old building with a fairly steeply sloping garden that led down …

It just cloned a very primitive slack copy for me https://light-whale-5opfal.manyminiapps.com Well done guys.

So this guy never ever restarted his car after a short interval except for when he bought vanilla ice cream? Additionally, he never varied the time intervals in the shop when he wa…

Isn't this a red herrring? I thought the law didn't require the removal of E2E encryption, but rather mandated the addition of a back door that submits some kind of meta data summa…

One of the trickier things to manage on a NES (without additional hardware on the cartridge) was maintaining a static information panel on the bottom of the display - for the score…

Of course Microsoft bought Rare Ltd., so I guess they thought they might as well acquire some Nintendoish IP one way or another.

No, it's a javascript error. The second time around I agreed to the terms and conditions and then the site worked fine.

It's still all indexed by google. For example; all you need to do is search for a unique seeming piece of text from your dreamwiki gem, and the site will appear on the first page o…

I programmed Feud, my first Amiga game. I always wondered if anyone would find Ste Pickfords' message (hidden behind a bridge IIRC). It's nice to see that 30 years later, yes someo…

Ironically, that's precisely how a lot of old Z80 and 6502 programs managed conditional execution. We used to call it a 'jump table'.
