This brought back some really fond memories. Prior to the dawn of 3D accelerators from 3Dfx, Rendition, and eventually of course Nvidia, Matrox VGA cards were the absolute dogs bollocks when it came to gaming performance. They were the cards to have in your PC, especially the 220MHz RAMDAC version of the Millennium.

Hard to imagine anyone less likely to ponder on - and implement - any kind of "dark pattern" than John Siracusa. Maybe the landing page could be re-ordered slightly to state that part of the FAQ - which is very clear - further up, but I doubt that there's a malicious bone in that man's body.

There are a number of utilities like Neptunes (https://micropixels.software/apps/neptunes) that will do this for you on macOS.

In addition to the other recommendations, I always suggest Kubie (https://github.com/sbstp/kubie). The nice thing about Kubie is that it spawns a new shell when you select a kubeconfig, meaning selecting a Kubernetes context in one terminal window doesn't clobber what you're doing in another.

You can map something like cmd+shift+f to open the entire buffer in your default text editor, this has been sufficient for a lot of folks - myself included - while we wait for native scrollback search to land.

Worth pointing out that this was written by the "Microsoft Partner Product Architect on Edge", a product which Microsoft speed-ran its enshittification.

Application error: a server-side exception has occurred while loading www.dmitry.ie (see the server logs for more information).

So is running a website apparently.

Congrats to the Oxide folks, like a lot of others I'm rooting for you.

Agreed, highly recommended reading. A slightly more up-to-date post of his which recommends tools in such situations is: https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2024-03-24/linux-crisis-to...

Ignore the haters - I too am a fan of minimalism in my terminal since I don't appreciate unnecessary clutter or decoration, but context is king and Starship can be configured as such.

By default my prompt is a shows me the current directory, the time, and a single character '%'. If I set something in my environment for which I need to be contextually aware - i.e if I have KUBECONFIG or OS_CLOUD - then the prompt is updated with the detail. Similar for languages - it'll automatically show me the version of Go or Python or whatever based on a few factors, all of which I can control.

The reason I love Starship is that it's made all this very, very easy to configure - instead of having to wade through arcane Zsh configuration or additional plugins, Starship makes it easy. It also adds negligible overhead to initialisation, especially when done so via evalcache [0]

A modern reimagining of Windows 2000's UI - professional, simple, uncluttered, focused, no cheapening of the whole experience with adverts in a thinly-veiled attempt to funnel you into Bing - with modern underpinnings and features such as WSL2 would have me running back towards Microsoft with open arms and cheque book in hand.

It’s because someone changed the account’s birthday to be that of Kubernetes’ first public release day back in 2014, and it was subsequently locked for being underage: https://x.com/dixie3flatline/status/1794407971939832188?s=46

I think the work Nicolas Rougier has done on "beautifying" Emacs (including org-mode) is about the best that's been done, examples and code:

It would be remiss not to mention the Sensational Reverse Brothers from Nodnol (Bulgaria).

This isn't true, it's publicly available at https://sources.suse.com i.e https://sources.suse.com/SUSE:SLE-15-SP5:GA/

> Say i open a folder with 50 files and i want to filter them quickly, i go to the upper right corner of the window and click the little spotlight icon, then at first the OS default is to search your -entire- computer

Go to Finder settings, click on advanced, and change the option 'When performing a search' to just current folder.

I can't remember if that's the default or not, but it's easily fixed.

> All the hardware stuff is pure fantasy

That's a very uncharitable take. More likely it's a typo (that board has PCI slots).

> EDO RAM only works on a Pentium

Not true, EDO was supported on some boards. This is the board mentioned in the article: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/asus-pvi-486sp3

This announcement predates the new CEO’s appointment.

Dead by what metric?

What comparison do you think you're making here?

I worked at Sun for a period on Sun Grid. There were two offerings - one aimed at B2B and one that was public-facing. The latter was launched as network.com, and essentially offered the ability to submit a job and only pay for the processing power used, hence Scott McNealy's "$1 per CPU per hour!" utility computing promotion.

The B2B side (which is the implementation I worked on) was quite a bit different, with customers uploading a 'golden image' into a node which would then be used to pre-provision a pod of servers (i.e 512 x v20z) on demand.

There's certainly an argument that Sun were first to tout cloud IaaS, but what was missing was a decent API to all this.

For the macOS folks, I prefer rcmd to accomplish the same thing with less cognitive overhead: https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd/

Huh - I'm on a weedy ThinkPad X1 Nano with a i5-1130G7 on Debian / testing and it's playing fine under Chrome, barely touching 10% of one processor core.

I would say so yes, given he's in the Guinness Book of Records for one of the highest attended free concerts of all time (Moscow, 1997 with ~3.5 million people). He's also in 4th and 8th place, with 2.5 million in Paris in 1990 and Houston TX in 1986 with 1.3 million people respectively.

Things that made me do a double-take this morning: A mention on HN of my hometown of Bolton and Ye Olde Man and Scythe!

Your comment was exactly what I had in mind when I posted this story - especially the bit about Enlightenment!

I sold a .com back in 2008 via Sedo - it was very straightforward. The buyer initiated it, I think all I had to create an account and populate it with a few details and they (Sedo's service) took care of everything else.

> One disadvantage of k3s, is that it does not have HA control plane out of box

This hasn't been true for a while, since these days K3s ships with etcd embedded: https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/ha-embed...
