A personal wiki or a text file, depending on the place. Would be nice to have some compact non invasive ticket system, but I’ve never seen one.

I’ve used literal card decks and GTDish pen and paper systems when there was more demanding need on tracking things. They’re effective.

I’d get a new drive. Install a sane os and need tool and use that. They should be cheap these days. Put the old one in a safe place in case you need something from it. When you find it years on and notice that there was nothing important there after all, recycle it. That’s a much safer approach.

That posting it now is trumputinist propaganda.

It’s difficult to get into on purpose.

Had to read this a few times until it clicked that it doesn’t mean as opposed to getting into accidentally.

Buy links seem to redirect to Arrow and it’s $600.

If you’re smart, you’ll make good commit messages in any commit, no matter how small and personal the repo. Because one day you’ll have no idea what that change was about and why and a small note will make it much easier to figure out.

I don’t think I’ve found amazing things recently. Things worth using and things better than the alternative and things that are promising to maybe one day be great, yes.

But I’ll single out one little thing: dust. https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust will print a maximum of one ‘Did not have permissions message’.

Dust will list a slightly-less-than-the-terminal-height number of the biggest subdirectories or files and will smartly recurse down the tree to find the larger ones. There is no need for a ‘-d’ flag or a ‘-h’ flag. The largest subdirectories will be colored.

It’s like a killer combination of du and sort oneliners that actually shows me what I want to know: What’s the big stuff in this dir.

Depends on the machine and… maybe other things. I used to think that, too, but on my current machines I can step backwards just fine.

It’s probably a much more intensive operation requiring processing a lot of the file from before and throwing away current buffers or something.

It was not. 30 years ago, it would have been very good, though, as a lot of media was still SD.

Device, maybe. What happens to the games bought from a DRM monopoly?

Why did the reuse old master tapes?

Money. Or the perception that there isn’t money to be gained from the replication and maintenance of the archives.

I guess you weren’t in the ring.

Right. Site plugins or something.

Tdk makes chips, really?

Delicious cancer

Could be a liability for them to have to work on support for those sites when it breaks.

Just a reminder to https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/ and that GitHub is Microsoft.

No. If they want to call it sue doo or sue dough, they should have written that. :)

I also pronounce Linus Linus.

Mouser is indeed one of the most reputable dealers around. That really sounds like it would be worth asking about.

I say zsh, s s h, and sudo. But I’m Finnish and we’re literal folk language wise.
