And thus demarcs the extinction of games published after that date. 100 years from now those disks will be all that is knowable to the extent libraries and museums preserve compatible drives.

There is no cross platform standard that accomplishes the goals that authors turn to TUIs to solve. There is no widely distributed remotely accessible interface that pops up GUI windows from a shell context that works everywhere.

Seems Backblaze does not even read their own blog with articles about 3-2-1 backups and sync not being the same as backup.

I upgraded to a 4070 super last year. I ran both cards at the same time for a little bit, but it got really frustrating to keep the wrong card from being assigned to a particular task with llama. I really should’ve taken an R&D tax credit on my AI research but I’m still able to expense it for the business.

I am so grateful that I bought my 128 GB ram kit in January of last year for my own 9950 upgrade. We just built my dad a 7000 series to replace his old AM4 (2017 build) and 32 gigs DDR five was nearly the same price at Micro Center that I paid last year. I was able to gift him an Nvidia 1060 discreet graphics card so that he could continue to run his two monitors. The newer motherboards have much less on board capability for that.

We have one at the local park nearby. A neighbor also has one in her front yard. It's a really neat concept!

The server is not returning anything. Is this a honeypot that now has firewalled my IP for trying to see that page or is the site just hugged to death?

Hence my question.

What is the best alternative that can run as a Docker image that mimics AWS S3 to enable local only testing without any external cloud connections?

For me, my only use for Minio was to simulate AWS S3 in docker compose so that my applications were fully testable locally. I never used it it production or as a middle ware. It has not sat well with me to use alternative strategies like Ruby on Rails' local file storage for testing as it behaves differently than when the app is deployed. And using actual cloud services creates its own hurdles of either credential sharing among developers and gets rid of the "docker magic" of being to run a single set up script and be up and running to change code and run the full test suite.

My use case is any developer on the team can do a Git clone and run the set up script and then be fully up and running within minutes locally without any special configuration on their part.

Anyone interested in keeping access should fork this open source repository now and make a local archived copy. That way when this organization deletes this repository there can still be access to this open source code.

In the Ruby on Rails space, we had this happen recently with the prawn_plus Gem where the original author yanked all published copies and deleted the GitHub repository.

On GitHub, when a private repo is deleted forks are deleted. But for public repos, the policy is different. See https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-....

This is the latest of a sunset trap set for those of us who use Minio for local testing but not production use.

It was certainly popular enough to be included in the 4th-century Codex Sinaiticus, which is the oldest extant "complete" Bible (Genesis through Revelation) in a single bound volume. Interestingly, in that manuscript, The Shepherd of Hermas and the Epistle of Barnabas actually appear right after the New Testament. The library has published scanned copies online at https://www.codexsinaiticus.org/en/. It is an epic resource for anyone studying this history or textual criticism.

Spot on. The Criterion of Embarrassment is a powerful tool here; the fact that women were the primary witnesses to the resurrection is a classic example, given that a woman's testimony held little to no legal weight in 1st-century Roman or Jewish contexts. If you were inventing a myth to gain social traction, you simply wouldn't write it that way.

Your point about verisimilitude extends to Onomastics as well. Research shows that the New Testament Gospels accurately reflect the specific frequency of Jewish names in 1st-century Palestine. In contrast, Gnostic texts often use names that don't fit the era or geography, frequently showing 3rd-century Egyptian linguistic influences instead. It suggests the canonical authors had "boots on the ground" knowledge that the later Gnostic writers lacked.

This has been a source I’ve referred to on and off for years. It’s really interesting to read some things that don’t show up in our everyday Bible. Including things that were considered not canon by the early church. I enjoyed reading the translation of the Shepherds of Hermas. It was not the easiest to follow, but in a sense it was a very popular allegory like Pilgrim’s Progress was centuries later!

Extremely interesting read. I need to go back over it again in detail on my computer not just my phone while holding my baby.

A key theme in a future fiction I am writing (slowly) is that all digital data has been lost and the time we are in now is known as a digital dark age where little is known about our society and culture. Resurrecting an archeologically discovered DVD is a key plot point I am working through. That it will be the first insight into our time in over a millennium. Other conflicting interests will be finally succeeding at re-introducing corn at commercial scale after all hope had been lost and past attempts at re-germinating from the frozen seed bank had failed for hundreds of years. It's a work in progress.

We are loosing so many of the legends. I don't distinctly watching the Chronicles when it first aired - was too young, not in the right market - but as a computer history nerd watching the videos on the Internet has been eye opening. It is also a really good way to get a sense just how advancing things were in the 1980s and how in many ways we have gone backwards in many areas.

Interesting. The model picked Trixie as the name for Debian 18, which is actually the name of Debian 13 which is a current release in 2025.

Very succinct, I agree.

I honestly have never heard anyone—even those executing it poorly—try to frame Servant Leadership the way the original author did here (the "curling parent" analogy).

I have certainly seen people fail badly at practicing this style, but that failure was invariably due to a lack of character, poor communication skills, or other individual execution matters, not an issue with the core concept of servant leadership itself.

I think the author is significantly straw-manning the concept of servant leadership.

The short take presented in the article doesn't match my lived experience with this style, both in secular and faith-based circles. The core idea is absolutely not that of a "curling parent." Instead, it embodies living the walk, walking the talk, and putting the team's needs before your own ego.

In fact, this profound concept goes all the way back to Jesus Christ, who modeled it by washing the feet of his disciples—a task reserved for the lowliest servant of the time. This act was deliberately shocking and context-defying. He effectively "turned the world upside down" by saying, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all."

I'm not trying to proof-text, but this idea is ancient and deep. It's a profound leadership style that is unfortunately often executed poorly or misunderstood by modern practitioners. Poor execution doesn't invalidate the concept itself.

It was 2017 that I decided to go all in ensuring that my main work computers were built from parts sourced via the local Micro Center. The real eye-opening situation is even if I have a top line most expensive MacBook Pro or most expensive Dell laptop with full warranty, the truth is anytime there was a hardware issue which happened every 2 to 3 years it would destroy a day or more of work. you cannot have it fixed and returned to you the same day being able to have more redundancy in the ability to source individual parts locally is a gigantic financial benefit when you’re livelihood depends on a working high-performance systems as a high-end consultant. I also ensure that I have two laptops capable of running my work though neither perform as highly as my high-end gaming class workstation.

I too am very sad. This has been my brand of ram for a long time. I’m also more of a software guy than hardware, but I appreciate being able to have high-performance gaming class systems for my work. It runs circles around much of the stuff my colleagues run, including in deployment in various cloud environments.

This sucks! I know more about software than hardware. Crucial is the only ram I have bought for decades now. As a practical matter does this mean one needs to buy DDR5 ram now from MicroCenter for a build planned for next year? I just put 128gb into my latest Linux workstation. I had been planning to build a new NAS to replace my aging TrueNas (nee FreeNAS). I was just thinking about possibly building another dev box after being very happy with this AMD 9950x performance.

My informal use of private missed the mark in a strict legalistic sense. We are on the same page about email left on the server being subject to subpoena.

For everyone else, unless you use POP3 to download your email to your own personal device and remove it from the server, the email left on the server is not as protected under US law as emails that are fully downloaded to your device. The later requires a search warrant to acquire without your consent.

The practical short answer is yes, yes it will. It is not privileged communication. It is not considered private since you have left it on a third party server. It is discoverable via legal process to the third parties that retain the chat log.

The same goes for communications on any social media or public forum, including discussions here on HN.

I have started to come around to thinking that as a practical matter as an individuL, making sure things actually make it into an actual bona fide landfill and ate buried is the most ecologically friendly thing we can do. All the other alternatives seem to break down and end up with stuff either not being encapsulated and impacting the environment that way, or shipped off to other countries and ending up in the oceans.

We use grocery bags as trash bags for the small bathroom bins. Also to contain poopy diapers for sanitation purposes. The thicker plastic bags Kroger has uses for their pickup service are harder to use for this. Also are not being reused since they always use new bags with every order. I save the bags we don’t use and place them in the bin outside Publix or Home Depot. Ironically the Kroger drop off pin appears to have been removed.

I HATE short form videos with an abiding passion. As a user, my preference is long form YouTube videos I can listen to while my hands are busy with the dishes, dog walks, etc. I am ventured more into podcasts because even such videos are painfully annoying with ad interruptions that demand skip click. Under no circumstances do I want to interact with the device every 60-90 seconds. That totally defeats the purpose of listening while being productive in the day.

Yells at cloud with visions of Windows 98 menu slide out animations stuttering on the barely good enough for the new OS pc! ;-p

I am confused. How can they be the first when there is an existing record? So fastest time but not first? An absolutely awe inspiring accomplishment!

I personally think the plain text howtos and forums of 1996-2002 were way easier to follow than the video links that come up these days.

I still play Solitaire on my computer sometimes ;-p
