It has survived hundreds of switches from HDMI output to internal display and back, and occasionally even to an external VGA one with all the software keeping runnning — well, most of it anyway: Lagrange sometimes crashes (and I suspect other SDL software might) due to weird resolutions being reported when switching outputs or when there's no output available, and occasional Thunderbird crashes — but that's what it always does anyway, sometimes for no obvious reason at all.

I had to reboot my laptop with over 160 days of uptime — kcompactd started crashing on suspend both to disk and to RAM. It's not the laptop I use the most, so this uptime alone isn't that impressive, most of the time it just sits hibernated connected to the TV, what makes it more interesting is that it was one of the longes continuous sessions. It's the smallest laptop I have, the one I often use it in the kitchen and take with me on trips.

A very very ugly chain of pipes, awk, sed, and xargs just saved me from hours of tedious and unexpected clicking in a stupid web-interface.

Learn some basic #shell scripting when you're young, it will help keeping you sane.

If you have some old CDs sitting around consider ripping them before disc rot makes them unusable. Fortunately you can always rip partially degraded disks using whipper. I've used it to make perfect rips of very old discs, stuff dating back 30 years which I had used and abused as a teenager. It takes some time to do its thing but it's worth the effort:

Does anyone in Berlin need a washing machine? :boost_requested:

It's a Siemens E 14-4M, and it's free if you can move it (4th floor, no elevator).

It needs to be gone by tomorrow afternoon

Finally got around to Pixel mapping my friend's Pixelblaze-controlled Christmas tree using @themariday 's video pixel mapping tool (github.com/TheMariday/marimapp), and it was fantastic! I could never have mapped the 600 LEDs on this tree without it.

Happy to provide you all slowly your #BSD based free Boxes (VPS instances) after a pause of one week again :)

The small amount of boxes has been provisioned, offering #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #DragonFlyBSD, #MidnightBSD and many more - including #illumos for our #Solaris friends!

Provisioning is #Matrix only and is done by our new Bot. @gyptazy took the time to write and adjust all the things in a great way - #RUNBSD

- I want console busybox!
- We have console busybox at home...

Also, 13th of December 124 ("Y2K was never a problem!!!").

Also, it is ironic that I cannot start Andrew Batmail graphical mail client because it requires emacs to be installed. :D

Firefox ditches Do Not Track because nobody was listening anyway

Few websites actually respect the option, says Mozilla When Firefox 135 is released in February, it'll ship with one less feature: Mozilla plans to remove the Do Not Track toggle from its Privacy and Security settings. …

CAUTION: the new kernel management/backup system has landed in github.com/chimera-linux/cport

this will result in your most recent kernel before the updated one disappearing due to package hooks going away

also be extra careful everything is intact after upgrade especially if you use out of tree modules (e.g. zfs) and report issues if you run into any

i tried my best to iron out any edge cases, so hopefully i got it all right, but still

Super-Lightweight Operating System boots off a 1.44MB Floppy Disk. 💾

[KolibriOS lets you do simple tasks and even play games on your legacy PC.]

While most operating systems are written in C and C++, KolibriOS is written in pure x86 assembly and as a result small and lightweight enough to run off a standard 1.44 MB floppy disk.
