They haven't considered that, because until this week they didn't need to. Some Linux Foundation projects use Zulip, and the team behind the project seem willing to host for free.

If you're interested in the history of Commodore, I thoroughly recommend the Commodore International Historical Society at https://commodore.international/. Dave has pulled together many of the people who were there at the time. For example, here's an Amiga panel from the recent VCF East: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_AYDkuMg-U

From the FAQ:

If some eligible files were found, the amount of disk space that can be reclaimed is shown next to the “Potential Savings” label. To proceed any further, you will have to make a purchase. Once the app’s full functionality is unlocked, a “Review Files” button will become available after a successful scan. This will open the Review Window.

I half remember this being discussed on ATP; the logic being that if you have the list of files, you will just go and de-dupe them yourself.

Is it just me, or is the font in the title bar/menus, off?

Tetrate and Bloomberg want to contribute their code to Envoy to create "Envoy AI Gateway", similarly to how there is an "Envoy Gateway" spec. Do you see this as being complementary or competitive with your work?

There was another BBS based off WWIV in Pascal, but I don't remember the name.

You're probably thinking of Renegade, which lives on at https://renegadebbs.info/

Before there was WordPress, the most popular blog CMS was Moveable Type. It had a "generate static files" option. (I believe this is how Daring Fireball is still published today.)

Surely this is the "best of both worlds" answer?

Yes; it's referred to in Oxide's RFD about RFDs [1] https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0001 but the referenced URL is 404 unless you're an Oxide employee.

It wasn't lost. The guy who sat next to Warhol as he created it, has had it for the entirety of the intervening time. (That's some "provenance".)

The thing that Debbie Harry said she had one of two of was a /print/ of the images.

As opposed to Maniac Mansion, where you could die if you drained the pool and waited too long to refill it.

The live remote camera setup seems like the bones of the only killer app idea I've ever had: a two-iPhone camera system for couples who want a stranger to take a picture of them while they're on holiday.

It would work like this:

- hand volunteer a phone and ask them to point it at you

- direct the shot by looking at the second phone ("no, stand further back, not our legs, don't point it directly at the sun")

- put the second phone in your pocket

- have the stranger take the photo you actually want, saving you rounds of back and forth when they say "Is this OK?"

Has anyone ever seen an app like this?

The issue isn't about explaining xz, it's about explaining Postgres. "It's a very popular piece of database software, and Andres' job is making sure that whenever people make changes to it, it doesn't get slower". There you go.

The Linkerd steering committee only met three times, most recently in May 2021. [1]

(Its charter [2] requires it to meet quarterly.)

Three of its four members have since left the companies that they were working at, so at this point it seems there are zero to one members.

There is no precedent for removing a project from the CNCF. They could, of course, fork it under a new name.

"[The] additional work done by Buoyant developers to backport minimal changes so that they're compatible with existing versions of Linkerd and to fix bugs, with reliability guarantees, to create stable releases will only be available behind a paywall, Morgan said."

Contour is a gateway: a controller that manages Envoy proxies at the edge of a Kubernetes environment. Istio is a service mesh: a controller that manages Envoy proxies at the edge and alongside each workload. If you are using Istio, you probably don't need Contour.

A year ago, a number of Envoy gateway maintainers (including Contour) announced their intention to join up to build one implementation of an Envoy gateway. They haven't made a lot of noise since, but they are apparently up to v0.4.

https://blogs.vmware.com/opensource/2022/05/16/contour-and-c...

You can also use the Gateway API to manage Istio. So, if you are using Istio, you probably don't need Envoy Gateway either.

Wherever you look, it's still Envoy. Unless of course you look at Linkerd, who have their own thing.

Hi everyone, I'm the person who drove the CNCF process for Istio (and made the linked commit). I'm happy to answer any questions.

I like to equate the question to "If I needed a container orchestrator, I'd probably use Nomad. What would I be missing out on with Kubernetes?"

Ignore the CNCF for a second. Both are open source, so will survive regardless, but the former has a single vendor behind it, and the latter has almost all the cloud industry.

There are valid use cases for FreeBSD, but the default choice is Linux.

I maintain that "booting a Mac, loading Chrome, loading Google Docs, and getting ready to type", takes as long as "booting DOS, starting Windows 3.1, loading Word for Windows 2.0", takes as long as "loading GEOS from floppy disk on a C64, loading geoWrite", and so on, and so forth.

In 2020, Garfunkel read a book called "Hello Darkness, My Old Friend". I looked it up. It's not about him.

Such that the drivers crash into each other, and not into the empty passenger seat of the other car.

What's the story with Rishi Sunak? Assuming you mean the candidate for Conservative Party leader and thus UK PM, I wasn't aware of such a connection.

Did no-one else immediately think of (or relate it to) Enlightenment?

FWIW, the men are father and son; the lower man is U2's drummer Larry Mullen Jr.

In case anyone is interested http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/index.html is effectively a less-organized Commodore equivalent

Fun fact: it was named "wxWindows" when it launched.

It is answered in this interview: https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/ron-gilbert-dave-g....

The eventual publisher knew the guy at Disney in charge of the LucasArts rights portfolio.

It would be like Ron Gilbert's previous game, Thimbleweed Park. I read somewhere that the goal of that game wasn't to deliver a new 1987 pixel game, but to deliver what you _remember_ a 1987 pixel game feeling like, with the modern sensibilities of a built-in hint system and autosave.
