A bit of internet- and operating system archeology & history: (one of?) the first web server in Regensburg ran on an Amiga with the NetBSD operating system. The file is dated 2003, kernel version hints at a more realistic 1996. #if #netbsd #www #amiga #regensburg #history #folklore

@Negahyphen@infosec.exchange Moving to Linux Mint is the right move overall, but just for fun, If you're powershell saavy you can have some (emphasis on "Some") more granular control if you check for/install updates via the pswindowsupdate module. Some examples: #check for updates (and don't install them): get-windowsupdate #Install updates (it will prompt for consent for each entry, allowing one to skip): get-windowsupdate -download -install #If you want to check for updates from Microsoft Update: Get-WindowsUpdate -MicrosoftUpdate -Verbose Doing this along with a combination of disabling wuauserv can maybe ease the pain, but I agree overall that MS has made this entire process unacceptable and stupid. You made the right move by just exiting the OS.

Everyone in this thread is crying for violence or strike or terrorism. Just fucking vote. Do not listen to the hexbears, the .ml bots, the morons. If Not Voting was an option it would dominate every single election cycle. Every single time. The problem with our system is nobody is engaging with it to have it work at 100% power. #If voting didn’t work they would not try so goddamn hard to discourage and discount your vote! And that doesn’t mean just you, get others to the poll. Convince Grandma republicans aren’t it this cycle. How do you expect a system to function properly if nobody is maintaining it? Look at New York. Look at how quickly they can fuck things up. It’s actually a lot easier to fix it. Fucking vote.

At first the idea of interactive fiction based entirely on choices seemed incredibly limiting. Then, I remembered the Choose Your Own Adventure novels I read as a kid, and it took on a whole new complexion. So now we can create Choose Your Own Adventure novels, but with puzzles that can save state and make decisions based on various factors like what you're carrying or the other decisions you've made. I have a project going that's nowhere ready to share yet. Just in the formative stages. I am a crappy writer, but man I am having fun with this! https://github.com/katelouie/bardic #interactive #fiction #if #chooseYourOwnAdventure

I really wish there was a way to preview notifications during iOS app development without actually running the app and triggering a notification event. Like some Preview macro or debug framework that you can throw notification info to just to get a rendering of what it will look like. I really don't want to hide a button that actually creates a notification behind #IF DEBUG but it looks like that's what I'll have to do. #Swift #SwiftUI #iOS #Xcode
