Is it really practical in 2024? I used pine as my sole e-mail client for many years.
In the last 15 years it feels like every mail expects the client to be able to render html, with no real fallback for text-only. Even when my client only blocks remote images some mail can be quite hard to decipher.
Company handbook even requires me to have a html signature with a picture of the company logo… before that I’ve militantly only sent text-only e-mail.
Mine does.
You can digitally “lend” a movie for a week and stream it once during that time. It’s free, but more cumbersome than the high seas.
Knew several as I was wrapping up uni. Had lots of fun partying and doing local trips with them.
I married one and moved to her home country for a few years. Now we live together in a third country.
Daisy Ridley. You’ve seen her in star wars.
Just about to go to bed with 2h51min screen time.
Baby won’t nap unless she’s in the stroller, so a lot of that is Pokémon Go while trying to get baby to go down for a nap.
I haven’t used one as a tty, but my father had a typewriter like that.
He’d feed in forms for invoicing and software would have the typewriter fill in values in the right fields of that form.
I’ve had vt220/320/520 terminals back in the day. Been itching to source one now that I have a forever home to store crap like that, but they’re becoming quite rare and expensive.
Might’ve been a while since you tried. There’s quite a few options now. zstd is real nice and fast.
Envycontrol is simple and works well.
Akshually, skateboarding was invented by a certain Marty McFly in 1955.
I much enjoyed it back in the day. Nokia even had their own app store for it and gave a nice financial incentive for the first hundred or thousand apps.
I feel Jolla & SailfishOS is the spiritual successor.
I’d try Bodom, population 0, if other than cities are allowed.
Or possibly Santa’s village, population 2 (if you exclude the elves)
Depends on your setup. I’m a btrfs guy, so I’d go with something similar as your other reply. It’s just as easy to remove/replace/add drives. They don’t even have to match in size. Just remember to balance after doing modifications to your array.
Whatever you get, get at least two and do RAID1/5/6. They will break.
Speed shouldn’t be an issue for streaming media.
I use a PowerBook G4 running MorphOS.
My parents never bought me an Amiga when I was little, and I’ve been making up for it ever since.
Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.
It was a shiny EGA card.
On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.
My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.
If we’re talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.
I plugged one in today. I left the screws loose. Ironically I moved it between two computers that couldn’t originally do VGA.
I re-organised my leisure desk. My C64 sometimes hooks up to a TFT thanks to my turbo chameleon 64 cartridge.
Today I hooked my C64 up to my CRT instead. I needed that TFT for my Amiga 1200 which has DVI-I out thanks to my indivision flickerfixer. But I have a DVI->VGA adapter to use that same cable.
Not quite Schrödinger’s cat, but in programming we have Heisenbugs named after Schrödinger’s peer.
It’s when you have a bug/crash that is not reproducible when debugging it. Might be that you’re reading some memory that you’re not supposed to, and the debugger just sets it up differently. Maybe you have a race condition that just never happens with the debugger attached.
