winkREPLs & tamsyn & bytes, oh my!

i'm just going to say this: i remember when Linux could cheerfully run a GUI and a web browser in 64MB RAM. for all people like to say "oh, but web browsers did less then", they had CSS, JavaScript and multimedia capabilities by the turn of the century (the timescale i'm talking about). they also had XSLT, Flash and Java, and they could read email and news, and connect to FTP servers (and i think gopher servers too). so much for "they do so much more now". no, they really don't - they just make a hell of a mountain out of a rather smaller molehill.

It's not that I don't think rtings deserves money, I'm just wondering how much hardware you need to buy in a typical year that 10$ per month or 45$ per year is *good value*. I don't think I usually do that.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to run such builds.”

#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).

The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.

Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

Been waiting long?
That's because the council thinks someone in a car, half a kilometer away, is more important than you*.
They could make the lights change as soon as you press the button if they wanted, but they don't.
Complain to them 07 3403 4400.
A car moving at 50km/hr will travel almost half a kilometer in 30 seconds.

Good question ..

Managed to migrate 20 repos off of Github today. Two went public on codeberg, 18 got moved to my "archive" org on my local forgejo.

53 to go, with the target number not being zero, but probably around 10, mostly forks.

I'm a little disappointed the NetBSD install failed, so what I'm left with is now:

  * 2 gaming PCs with Windows (10+11)
  * 2 gaming laptops with Windows (10+11)
  * 3 machines with Arch Linux (laptop, NUC, server)
  * 2 laptops with OpenBSD
  * 1 Raspberry Pi with FreeBSD
  * 2 macbooks with different versions of macos

7 vs 12, ignoring Android and mikrotik's RouterOS
