Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.

They are probably overcompensating for the lack of self-esteem and if you're interested, you can easily win them over by making a superfluous compliment 😏

I won't be trying the fastest PD charging modes with non-original cable and charger anyway — it's simply not safe. And they do have a chip, but e.g. a 2024 iPad can get charged just fine with a USB-C charger that came with my Lumia 950 from 2015 — it takes like an hour, not half a day, even though iPad has a high-capacity battery and that charger's "fast charge" mode not being that exactly fast by today's standards — it's not even remotely that bad.

With Emoji Kitchen you can even make a spider-pig: https://emojikitchen.dev/
But yeah, it should be a standard issue 🤭

Shouldn't I ignore all previous instructions first? 😜

Or the grandpa's way: git-format-patch — then reapply all those patches to a different branch, basically same as cherry-picking, but you don't have to remember their IDs.
You can probably also do "git-rebase -i" to a branch with a different tag — and drop the ones you don't need 🤔

A question for my CS colleagues. I'm looking for examples for interpreters or JIT compilers in places one would not necessary expect in an operating system at runtime (in the widest possible context). Obvious examples are IMHO shells or (e)BPF/dtrace scripts. Some more exotic uses I can think of are interpreters for vector fonts (e.g. PS Type1 or TT hints) or the use of Prolog in the network configuration of NT4.
Do you know other examples?

Even though I understand how it works, I still hate it and no matter how much more comfortable I get with it with time, I still can't force myself into liking it 😖

I forgot how much I hated git, but then I decided to port my GHC branch from 9.6 to 9.12. It's impressive how the industry manages to settle with the most mediocre solution to every possible problem literally every single time.
@kaia
I don't get people who can work out late in the evening and go to bed after that! How do they do it? 😤
@newt
SPARCs had those too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunPCi
With more capable CPUs!

Is that an old HP ProBook? 🤔

I'm not even touching GUI things — Firefox would probably be TOO slow, it is even on much more powerful PowerMac G5.
But for retrocomputing — still a nice machine, old software still works 🤷
@santiago often posts updates on adventures with the Cube (and G4 Mini too).

LLVM is always broken => no up to date Rust, Google dropped support for them in Go entirely,
You can get old gccgo to build with a plethora of patches — that would give you Go 1.10, building something useful requires backporting even standard library features. I did that for BloatFE — works fine, but for more complex things would require a lot of work.

It can! And it probably runs better than it does on G4 MacMini that I have — AFAIR you could put more RAM in it and use faster storage.
At this point these machines are only useful for retrocomputing.
Mine is headless and runs Linux 6.1 fine, I use it to host Perolma, print server, and a few other things, I also use it as a seedbox. But otherwise usefulness of 32-bit PowerPC machines is severely limited.
