Crontab

Glacier is nice, but due to the cost of data retrival, people should use it as the restore of last resort.

Nevermind, I see that Go has a build subcommand.

Is the make from Go based on the Plan 9 Mk? Or is it something else entirely?

I like Pinboard and its creator but he has been leaving me with the impression that it is no longer a priority for him.

I am typing this on a mid-2013 Macbook Air and it doesn't feel useless to me - although I maxed out the RAM to 8GB when I ordered it.

Anything held on anyone else's computer is a candidate for scanning or pilfering. That's why I am a fan of encrypted backups.

I've read that time moves a tiny bit slower on Earth than it does in space and that it affects satellites. I wonder how much difference there is for something like the Voyagers, which has been in space since the 70's, and us on the ground.

I love reading stuff like this.

Since this is going to be for reference, it would be preferable for the text to be selectable.

My domain is registered with Gandhi, which provides basic free mail hosting for no additional cost, so that is where I am going.

Even though I have never used drugs, psychedelics are the one thing I have wanted to try, particularly LSD. Sadly, it seems that it is not legal anywhere I can find.

I have visions of a apocalyptic future where everyone has to run old operating systems because the Internet no longer functions.

I am pro-sideloading but I think it has to be done in a way that people cam't be tricked into doing it.

Speaking personally, the only thing I want to sideload is Mame (assuming an iOS version exists).

I know this will probably sound dumb but I've always wanted my own personal chatbot; one that could remember facts from previous conversations. I just like the idea of having my own, personal, electronic confidante.

I've always suspected that Google does something like this with everyone a person emails via Gmail. I don't this, it just sounds like something an advertising company would do.

I've thought about keeping a log, but if I did, it would not to this level of detail. It is enough for me to know that I performed a specific activity but I wouldn't want to log how many hours and minutes that I spent on it.

The author writing their own Android app to accomplish the logging was interesting to read.

This kind of reminds me of the "One Big Text File" thing that was a popular subject a while ago[1][2]. I haven't attempted it, but if I did, it would probably be a "One Big Markdown File".

No, those devices phone home to complete setup, regardless of using an iCloud account.

Apple's iDevices and T2/M1 Macs all require Internet access to finish their setup.

Windows 11 Home requires Internet as a Microsoft account is needed during setup. Unless there is a workaround that I haven't read about.

It's not just Windows - the whole commercial OS system market is going to shit.

Operating systems are now treated as nothing more than a gateway to online services. Many commercial operating systems now require Internet access to obtain a working installation and some require an online account for things like creating a user account or adding applications. And then there are things like forced telemetry and forced system updates.

I personally don't like any of this.

I also think it would be interesting to see how small, or how fast, you could make a standard 486 by applying modern manufacturing.

Your comment reminds me of this Raiders Of The Lost Ark scene:

I have to admit not noticing this for decades.

I was always a fan of NT4, personally speaking.

Nice site. Somehow, I hadn't seen this before.

That kind of reminds me of this story from 2019:

I appreciate that requiring the use of the App Store makes security easier but I think the current situation gives Apple and Governments too much power over developers and users.

Side-loading should be permitted. I am okay with it not being allowed by default but it should be something a user can override.

I strongly disagree with the opinion that telemetry should be enabled by default. I feel that it should be the opposite.

Very nice!

This website has had so many interesting articles over the years. I really appreciate it.

I've noticed that a large portion of women submitting in the /r/Gonewild subreddit have an OF these days.
