Remember when Darl showed some “encrypted code” that he claimed was stolen and added to Linux and it was really just some POSIX definitions from a header file taken from BSD “encrypted” with a wing dings font? Those were some wild times.

Sisters Euclid. They were a Canadian band who recently called it a career after like 27 years of mostly-under-the-radar instrumental jangle jazz, or something to that effect. They did win a Juno for an album of Neil Young instrumentals and reinterpretations called “Run Neil Run”, but outside of the Toronto are and southwest Ontario I don’t think they were widely known. Members of the band have played in all sorts of other bands and with other folks, many of which y’all would recognize like Norah Jones and the Doobie Brothers, they all really accomplished musicians. I saw them live dozens of times before they called it a day, and I always saw and heard something new with every performance. Seeing them live was definitely the best way to take them in, as their studio albums seemed like they were just scaffolding for the live shows.
Hoping for a reunion show in 5-10 years. I’d travel for it.
I haven’t posted on Reddit since they treated third party app devs like shit. I’m done with that site.
Exit codes from processes are damage points that you take against your HP. When your HP runs out, the distro reformats itself to a clean state.
Just for the sake of comparison, Alphabet had $308 billion in revenue and $74 billion in profit in 2023 if I’m reading the numbers correctly. But they need cheaper labour.
Who’s ready to fly on a zipline?
Don’t forget the interactive video they did for an anniversary thing a few years back.
Code, editors, terminal, and most browser tabs on the right…
Calendar, Slack, some more browser windows on the left, sometimes some debugging tools.
Third smaller screen off to the side for media if I want to throw on something in the background.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world — those who understand binary and those who don’t.
In the recent Musk biography it was said that at some point after a meeting with NASA he changed his laptop password to “ilovenasa” so you’re not far off in terms of terrible password security if the story is accurate.
Donald Knuth, author of The Art Of Computer Programming, basically our bible, famously doesn’t use email.
Maybe we’re already there and death is just the garbage collector freeing up more space.
Ironically, all of these things except Abrowser are based on Konqueror’s original engine, KHTML, so Konqueror was actually the OG engine. KHTML was forked to WebKit, which was forked to Blink, which became the underpinnings of Qt WebEngine, which Konqueror now uses.
This is also why KHTML still appears in the user agent strings for all of these engines, but back in the day the Gecko engine used in Mozilla products was already a thing and KHTML was the alternative to that, hence “KHTML, like Gecko”.
Many password managers like 1Password and Last Pass and KeePass and all the big ones can store MFA details nowadays.
Definitely Hamilton. Its nickname even sounds evil: The Hammer.
I started out on Red Hat over 20 years ago, then went to Gentoo for a few years. I got a new job after the me I was at crashed and burned and switched or the Fedora, but the rest of the folks at the shop were running fancy new MacBooks as was the style at the time. As a tech lead I didn’t like the idea of being the odd one out when it came to what we were running so I just bit the bullet when my linux laptop died and got a MacBook and I’ve just stuck with that ever since, at least for professional dev work. It’s still a UNIX under the hood and I get most of what I want and basically all of my tooling is OSS and free software, and I don’t have to mess with fiddly settings anymore. I still run Linux server-side and keep a few Linux laptops around, but I just run macOS now for dev work and I’m fine with that.
I did my time with compiling the entire thing from scratch in my Gentoo days, did all sorts of tweaking on compiler switches for KDE and X, debugged kernel drivers on racks of Dell PowerEdge blades when the network stack would inexplicably start dropping packets seemingly randomly, all that stuff. I still run Linux but it just ain’t my daily driver anymore.
And I have a Steam Deck too, so there’s that.
Bought a sweater I saw in an ad. Like a 70s style one, like it was the sweater that inspired both Tron and the Twister board game. Hasn’t arrived yet but I’m hopeful it isn’t complete trash.
