This is neat. Z-machine internals without needing to run a debugger.

For those things you can't control it doesn't ask. You can see those under "other permissions" (or similar). But once you look there it's too late if you care about this data and forgot to turn on airplane mode.

OK, that's even worse. Thanks.

As I understood not ANY website can see it. But the same website can see it regardless if you reset your identity in Tor Browser.

So it persists between anonymous sessions. So you could connect User A that logged out and reset the identity to User B who believed was using a fresh anonymous session and logged in afterwards.

Most stock android phones don't either. You usually get to control precise location, notifications, some background activity, SMS, Calls, Mic, Camera, SD Card, etc.

But most ROMs don't allow controls for WiFi, Cell data, Phone ID, Phone number, User ID, local storage, etc...

Must be cool to have bike weather all year round. ;)

Yeah, snow and scooter/motorcycle is not a great mix here. But touring the Alps down to Lake Garda was amazing. Can recommend.

Honking is more for the people behind/around me. I also don't want to be hit by inattentive people following me to closely.

May I ask where you are riding? I am currently in Bavaria. The danger level is usually higher after the winter. Drivers need to re-accustom themselves to sharing the road with two wheeled riders.

Evasive action could be even more dangerous in cities. In my experience being able to come to a stop without hitting anything is even better.

Lot's of dead people had the right of way. Ride safe, I agree. I also had 0 accidents so far in 30 years. But you still experience new things you hadn't thought would be an issue.

Oh I know. They look at me while turning left cutting me off.

Maybe I need a bigger bike, the 2cyl 400cc is particularly invisible. ;)

Best one was a woman who cut me off doing her left turn. I high-beamed her and honked. She put her hands in front of her face and came to a dead stop in my lane directly in front of me. I was already braking before I honked. Nothing happened. I stopped wondering and just assume everyone is out to kill me.

It's a rule that also applies to bicycles.

Yeah, same here. It's a black box. Nobody knows how it works or what you can do to make it hassle free.

MS went from "developers, developers, developers" to being a nightmare for everyone involved.

I actually liked Visual Studio 6 and the old MSDN. Now I only wish they were gone.

Just shows how quickly and thoroughly those stupid suits managed to destroy its reputation. Guess they love burning money or really needed those tax writeoffs.

I have found that MS still blocks my signed and timestamped .msi files for at least a few days. From saving the downloads in Edge and then via Smartscreen once you get it downloaded.

If I submit it manually for every update it tends to go better. If more people download and install it whitelists faster. But that is highly annoying, orwellian bullshit. Might even be anti-competitive or downright illegal.

Sadly I had to kick a few cars that thought they could run me off my motorcycle. Worked every time. All of them didn't look out the window or they would have looked right into my face. Yelling and horn did absolutely nothing.

Most of them were extremely apologetic or even shocked (as if I appeared from thin air). None of them were angry for scratching their door. Some people are just lost in thought it seems...

I am noticing something those devices have in common.

My Galaxy Tab also has dead EMMC. My HTC One M8 still works and even holds a day of charge. Too bad Android doesn't support 32bit ARM anymore.

You talk like that is a bad thing. Win32 UI works, is fast, works everywhere even on ancient 640x480 server screens, safe mode and vnc in 16 colors without opengl, directx, Angle or vulkan.

Flutter is nicer to scale and maybe design but it is a massive overhead. Skia still has trouble with some drivers and causes lag or falls back to software rasterization. Hot replacement while coding is pretty neat though. It runs much better on mobile devices imho.

Depends on the country but around 40-50% would be taxes, climate compensation and other stuff, yes.

So normal Europe prices from before this thing. It's up to $8.50 per gallon there now.

s/with/without/

Shouldn't matter when I am not on GUI seat. In my SSH session with X11 forwarding there is no DISPLAY emacs could use.

Tried it anyways, looks the same:

  $ time emacs -nw -Q -e kill-emacs
  real    0m0.075s
  user    0m0.062s
  sys     0m0.013s

no, this is the TUI version. X11 emacs with all the composited effects needs about 200-250ms to open (about the duration of the animation for opening and closing it). That's more like OP's timings.

What hardware are you on?

On my old Ryzen 3600X running Arch it's a lot faster. Does the UI eat so much performance on OSX?

  $ time emacs -Q -e kill-emacs
  real    0m0.076s
  user    0m0.058s
  sys     0m0.018s

  $ time nvim -es --cmd 'vim.cmd("q")'
  real    0m0.028s
  user    0m0.005s
  sys     0m0.003s

vim still is a lot faster though.

Yes, but only what was mirrored to usenet: https://usenetarchives.com/groups.php?c=fido

But usenetarchives has had some enshittification happen.

This one still has some of the more fun files: http://textfiles.com/bbs/FIDONET/

There is also a Giganews dump on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/giganews And this one: https://archive.org/details/usenet-fido

Google stopped being useful for usenet a while ago but still has some if you can find it.

I have an immutable Alpine Linux running from an ISO that includes a few docker containers (mostly ruby and php). All in about 750MB.

I think adoption will hinge on whether existing Android apps will just run on it with something like waydroid/anbox or not.

Gaming on Linux took off with Proton. Linux on phones might go the same path.

You should be able to do that via DNS SRV entries.

  _xmpp-client._tcp.domain.tld. TTL IN SRV priority weight port target
  _xmpps-client._tcp.domain.tld. TTL IN SRV priority weight port target

  example:
  _xmpp-client._tcp.not-my-domain.com. 3599 IN SRV 5 0 5222 jabber.my-domain.com.

You could also build a reverse proxy setup. Then you wouldn't need the keys to the SSL certs. But that is probably overkill to run at your client: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Tech_pages/XEP-0368

I don't think I have seen a client complain about the cert being for jabber.my-domain.com Which one is giving trouble there?

Try Toast Hawaii. The weird mix of ham, pineapple and cheese the Germans make.

I am still convinced the lava cheese insulator is there only to burn people's insides with boiling pineapple.

You do realize the answer is right there: https://www.sudo.ws/about/logo/

(and the old logo) ;)

I did a similar thing on my DOS PC. Lots of DOS software gets confused when there is more than 64MB of XMS/EMS free. So I just gave 64MB of the 128MB to smartdrv. It's more RAM drive I ever had when using DOS for work back in the day.

Win95 complains about needing REAL mode compatibility for a RAM disk though. I wonder how much performance degradation is noticeable with a RAM disk though.

P-CAD even had a dongle-caddy where you could plug in I think about 7 of them into to unlock different modules.

I will check if I can find an image of it.

EDIT: here is an old listing of it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/187748130737

Sadly the lid isn't open so you can't see what modules are installed.

It needs quite a few fixes to even run in a VM. But it can be done: https://github.com/JHRobotics/patcher9x

Brightness down, LAN card disabled (the media sense on RTL cards sucks about 1.5W with no cable plugged in, wtf? Thats more than the Wifi needs)

And powertop (great piece of software, thanks Intel) tuned to the max + powersave scheduler. All that on Windows or KDE results in about 4-5h of battery though. So fbdev must be somehow really frugal.
