Answer: Not at all, at least not from the WinWorld archive. It turns out 'ed' is an optional package, and neither 'm4' nor 'make' are in the floppy set at all. I need either a SVR4 version other than AT&T 2.1 or a later Unix.

Very bad idea of the moment: A high density ZFS pool of cheap SD cards, like a dozen TB or so of redundant storage in the volume of a regular candy bar.

Run-anywhere scripting masochism of the day: I'm probably about to install an actual Unix SVR4 VM to find out just how well (or likely badly) my "works in modern posix tools" awk, m4, make, & sh scripts run in a real legacy Unix.

back in the day, we all would scoff at deploying apps written in Lisp or Smalltalk because the binaries would end up being tens of megabytes with the runtime included. but in this era of gigabyte-sized static binaries and Electron apps, what's stopping us from going back

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.

Today, one of my coworkers saw how confidently wrong the snake oil tonic posing as AI is. Hopefully, the lesson holds, and we're one step closer to popping this bubble.

Saltpeter touchpaper, a 12-gauge shell, and a mallet, instead of a key. It's pretty mesmerizing.

firing up my mastodon client by hand cranking it until a piston is a little bit past tdc, turning on the magneto, putting a blank 12 gauge cartridge in the receptacle in the cylinder head, and whacking it with a hammer

@mavica_again That feels like a sadder indictment of Realtek for some reason.
