Someone just asked me to recommend a good #git #book; I finally conceded that `do a #websearch for "git config.ff only"' is probably best—because any teacher who doesn't tell you to do that as part of your most basic git setup is probably someone you shouldn't listen to.
-
@rozzin Indeed. I collect them, clean them up, bring them back to life, pass them on. So a number of family members and my neighbor also have one. You can get them for $20 to $200 on eBay. Why not? They are the best toasters ever made. Sunbeam appears to have made a lot of them. And they last.
-
@jd aaah—I was thinking you just *really* liked #toast, if you had a toaster for every room ☺
-
Wait..., when you say "I have several toasters"...?
-
Indeed, I have several of those exact Sunbeam Automatic Toasters. I prefer the oldest T-20 models before they started engineering cost out. They are wonderful.
-
A new way (or a #GNU way...) to feel #olde: "why, I remember when all these #POSIX standard features were still GNU-specific!"
-
I do love the origin story for the #POSIX #name, from #rms:
«The committee put on "IEEEIX" as the concise name. I did not think that was a good choice. It is ugly to pronounce—it would sound like a scream of terror, "Ayeee!" …»
-
Oh, hey—I was recently quoted in this article on opensource.com: "What is POSIX? Richard Stallman explains—Discover what's behind the standards for operating system compatibility from a pioneer of computer freedom" https://opensource.com/article/19/7/what-posix-richard-stallman-explains
-
Hmm..., I think @jd said he actually had a #toaster like this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfxlSG6q5Y #amazing!
-
Looking through pools of XMPP server stats.... Why am I not surprised by this? https://compliance.conversations.im/server/420chat.me/
-
Hah--to be fair, #NH #1 cause of power-outages is probably #MA drivers coming up to gawk at fall foliage, and running into utility-polls while gawking.... That's just my guess, tho' ;p #fallpreytofoliage
-
@rozzin@status.hackerposse.com a few more outages and they'll reach the quality of PSNH!
-
!listening to Pentagram Home Video's "The Left Hand Path", thinking parts of it sound incredibly familiar... but can't identify the specific #memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U66MEIOmL1Y&list=OLAK5uy_njFK9ciO4Juqwi8W1CX2iiTdf7cfmNRVI&index=3
-
Didn't Slack say something like "we want to be a utility company—like the power company!" recently?
-
Yeah, really. I just wish that some of them would *stay down* sometimes—let the world move on from them....
-
@rozzin@status.hackerposse.com Yeah, it is so much more convenient now that I never have to question who is affected by an outage. Amazon issue, everyone's affected. Dyn issue, everyone's affected. Slack issue, everyone's affected. Isn't progress great!
-
Remember when there were multiple egg-baskets in the world?
-
Another global Slack outage. Anyone want to skate around on chairs and swordfight?
