@emaste yes. The multiple clang / gcc / rust installs is a thing we should really do something about. It is crazy

What's your favourite #BSD? And why?

Please boost!

@jbzfn@mastodon.social I do, it is pretty straightforward, just get the packages for ruby, postgres, ffmpeg, graphicsmagick, git, apache (yes, I prefer apache), (mod_passenger), a few others (all documented on the mastodon page as base requirements), then bundle install and go (this instance is proudly hosted on )

@a2_4am @gourd When was it added to copy II+? I remember having a devil of a time making a copy of my (LEGAL!) DazzleDraw disc.. as in I couldn't. I still have it!

@a2_4am I think dazzledraw had a similar protection system; and I am really curious how it worked since not even nibble copiers could copy the duplicate disk, made with the standard disk and a standard drive.

@NanoRaptor I have one of those, up until a few years ago it was my mail server.. I figured IRIX 6.5.22f on MIPS with a custom build of (new) sendmail against gcc10 was going to be unexploitably weird!

Are you serious?! I bought one thing ever from them directly. Ever. About 2 months ago. This is ridiculous, unacceptable. Lack of proper separation of sevices, why are they storing any credit card numbers? (What is the point of a partial? Why store it at all? PCI-DSS anyone?). Where’s any kind of credit services or notice to the credit carriers themselves, just some 8xx number to call. This is just an atrocious response. Oh and this isn’t a screenshot of the email, they sent it as a picture.

@mnemonicoverload @rlaimondas Further, rack servers have no regard for acoustic signature. Server chassis have no consumer acceptability pressure, they're in dedicated facilities and ordered by people who will never even see them. Taking them out of their element can fucking ruin your marriage.

@lattera What has shaken your ZFS beliefs? (I tend to be sympathetic here, I use ZFS semiregularly and frequently stub my toes on bugs, and non-intuitive interactions that I just never do with any other filesystem)
