chungy

Guix solves the same problem in similar ways, though it uses Scheme as its configuration language.

Different use cases than QEMU, honestly, to the point that there's not much overlap. QEMU is extremely good at running modern operating systems, and not so much at older ones (DOS and Win9x are pretty sore points in QEMU). 86Box is extremely good at running old operating systems (including DOS and Win9x!), but modern operating systems are mostly out of the question (you can run WinXP, but https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/faq.html#can-i-...).

Files in Git don't have timestamps, only commits do. It got swept up when `git commit --date=...` was run.

Funny part is, that NFSv4 supports SIDs for user authentication, but the Linux implementation leaves it out (among all the other ACL features) simply on the basis that Linux doesn't support them at all.

The FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Windows (yes, even Windows) implementations of NFSv4 are fully featured with this stuff.

The DIRECTORY/checkins/ directory doesn't list out anything by itself, but you can look things up by any of the supported checkin names (hash, tag, branch, date...): https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/checkin_names.wiki

Consider Fossil[1], which packages the entire repository state—code history, wiki, tickets, forum—into a single file, and that state gets cloned.

When/if you need to change hosting providers, you get to lose zero data in Fossil because of it.

It was actually part of Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95. It wasn't directly available for Windows 98 at all, but the Windows 98 install disc does include an INF file so you can install it, provided you have a copy of Plus! for Windows 95.

It was also included with Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows XP (both the original and x64 versions). Finally removed in Vista to never return.

Delphi and Lazarus are still kicking, the latter is free and open source.

I know you asked for "the language", but Object Pascal really ain't that bad to get around. If you were proficient in VB6, you should be fine adapting. :-)

Too vague of a question to give you an answer you'll likely sound satisfactory :)

You probably just needed to create indexes over your data to speed things up.

"Right joins are just left joins in the wrong direction, you don't need that crap"

SQLite has supported all types of joins since version 3.39 in 2022.

I have bad news for you: Zip supports storing extended attributes as well.

Is Radicle an alternative to Fossil?

This is a current architectural limitation, manifests (defining check-ins) and tickets are different types of artifacts and you cannot combine the card types into the same artifact. Changing this would likely break backwards compatibility with previous Fossil versions and I'd expect resistance. It may still be worth bringing up on the Fossil forum if you desire the feature.

Personally speaking though, I don't want things automagically closed GitHub-style based on parsing a check-in comment. An issue ought to be closed with intention.

(Of course Fossil actively opposes "pull requests", separate issue)

Not opposition, but very little incentive for the primary developers to implement the feature. Fossil's own developers happen to be the same as SQLite's developers, which doesn't accept outside contribution as a policy. It results in Fossil's features being predominantly, but not exclusively, the same features needed for SQLite and little else.

This thread discusses avenues for implementation: https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/ce238fccfd6b124d

Other VCSes like fossil store issues alongside the repo.

Technically the issues in Fossil are part of the repository, along with the wiki, code, forum, etc. They come along with every clone and (mostly) cannot be deleted from the historical record.

Items of Fossil that are merely "alongside" instead of actually in the repository include unversioned files, chatroom content, and users and access controls. (Not an exhaustive list.)

What are you really proposing? That a first ".INDEX" entry be made that contains the offsets of all the other members?

That could work in a backwards-compatible way (as long as no standard tar utility makes modifications to the archive...), but it's hamfisted. Just use Zip. It's already a well-known format with numerous implementations and already does the job that you want to do.

Zip has a central directory you could just query, instead of having to construct one in-memory by scanning the entire archive. That's significantly less work.

Zip allows you to set compression algorithm on a per-file basis, including no compression.

There's not a whole lot of interest in making Windows 9x run well on QEMU.

These days especially, it's better to just use 86Box for those operating systems.

That's a graphics driver problem. Fairly common to see when running Windows 9x/Me under QEMU.

Does that explain Word for Windows?

Somehow, the bad grammar gives something special by signifying an LLM didn't write it.

Then again, an LLM could probably help clean up the grammar.

I didn't consider that it meant to use the scroll wheel and likewise closed the page before discovering that.

One feature I greatly appreciate is the new default output mode in the SQLite shell in interactive mode. It now defaults to qbox with reflow and line limits enabled, making a fairly pretty output on the terminal. It even does rounded corners. :-)

If you think MAGA followers believe in flat-earth, you've deluded yourself badly.

I'm pretty sure people claim to be flat-earthers as a lark.

One nit about the site: the screen elements forced me to make my browser window more than half the size of my screen, and I use a 3840×2160 monitor. My windows are normally about ⅕ the size of the screen and roughly 4:3 ratio shaped. It was nearly unusable like that (I don't suffer issues from almost any other site.)

On the game/bracket: it narrowed me down to Noto Sans Mono and I'm honestly not surprised, it's one of the few fonts that comes with my operating system that I find acceptable.

That being said, what I actually have my terminal and Emacs set to is “AcPlus IBM VGA 8x16” from https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/. I've always been fond of the VGA font and it tickles all the right usability marks for me.

OpenWrt has a generic x86 PC build that can also be used to turn basically any random PC into a router, complete with an operating system actually designed and developed for that purpose.

Don't confuse "simple and good" with "flawless" :-)

There are indeed only a few private-reserved IPv4 ranges, and almost everyone prefers to keep things memorable and easy to type; you get a lot of 10.0.0.0/24, 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 as a result. That, and common household routers tend to default to one of these three /24 subnets. (Hardly anyone seems to remember that 172.16.0.0/12 exists, feel free to use that if it happens to work for you.)

IPv6 does solve this issue in a few major ways, one of which is the greater expectation to rely on globally routable addresses, of which every one of your devices will have at least one such address. There's also fc00::/7 which is fairly equivalent to the IPv4 private ranges, though to avoid conflicts in random VPNs you should generate a random /64 prefix inside of this, otherwise you run the risk of everyone picking fc00::/64 because it's easy to remember/type (I'm guilty of this myself, but the VPNs I've configured just go into a random 172.16.0.0/12 subnet and no v6 assigned. I have the liberty that I currently don't need/use any VPNs that I haven't personally configured, and that may not hold true in the future.)

IPv4 is pretty simple and good for LANs. Nothing wrong with sticking to it.
