“The human genome is about 3 gigabases long, which boils down to 750 megabytes. Depressingly enough, this is only 2.8 Mozilla browsers.” - Bert Hubert
I like the Gemini is useless post

Talk is much more conceptual but I tagged it as sysadmin because it’s a common part of job.

Put me down for some essays by the seaside :)

For some reason survey link won’t load for me (probably has to do with some stupid internet restrictions), otherwise I would do it for sure.
I love curl so much.

TLDR; Gemini ROCKS and tired of the WWW web tracking and sucking. Those of us ~40ish year old geeks will understand. : linux
lots of gemini discussion here, but also TIL about teddit.

CVE-2021-29956: Thunderbird stored OpenPGP secret keys without master password protection
-
No tag relevant to release or osdev so settled on software-development tag.
-
-
We could do with a debugging tag.
Advice is GNU make specific, as a comment points out “If you’re using BSD make, you can just use ‘make -V SOURCE_FILES’.”

This is a audio only recording of twitter spaces.
notes on google docs

Perhaps it would’ve been better to post the announcement instead, title of the video is clickbaity
-
We need a general osdev tag or a plan9 specific one. I lumped it under UNIX as I couldn’t find anything relevant.
-
I agree with you. Plan 9 is a popular topic around here, so it should have its own tag.
On the topic of other improvements, maybe we should have some guidelines about putting the length of videos in the title, just as we do with the year of old content? I was interested in this video, but not “Watch an hour and 17 minute long video” interested–right now at least.
But on the other hand, I watched this last year and it’s totally worth it.

In a similar vein, Neil Postman

Nice, looks like Postman was a fan too

This is not about the internet so to speak but technology in general but still applicable and relevant.

Has anyone here used Guile for anything? Do you like it? I feel like it’s probably cool, but I’ve never touched it.

Currently reading through this, and enjoying it. I just thought I’d like to comment on these two lines before I forget:
Plan 9 does follow the UNIX philosophy (much closer in fact then UNIX itself).
The acme text editor is arguably the main user application for Plan 9, it doubles as the systems file manager, terminal, mail reader and more.

Nothing new, just thought the PDFs were done well so there’s a ToC for example.
as opposed to what official client for the web?
the web at least has standards…
like this?
no. I mean a real technical specification, not a first-draft quality half-baked pseudo-specification that calls itself feature complete.
👌
I guess you haven’t read where the document itself refers to itself as a pseudo-specification…
It’s worth reading Tangled Web
Content is still valid as an ebook. :)
Nostarch ebooks are DRMfree when you buy from their store if that’s a concern
