Funny you mention that. Guix which is a fork (of sorts) of Nix is written in Guile Scheme which uses ice-9 as it's namespace in a lot of places. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/…

Ren'Py is a joy to use and an excellent project.

I'm dailying Wayland on Ubuntu, but it feels like there's always a "it'll be really good soon" promise to Wayland.

I'd agree with the top rated comment in the OG thread that the children are just enjoying spending time with dad. I recall my love of computing was sparked by my father, but it was mostly self-st…

This bit me when moving to iOS. Thankfully I didn't use Signal all that much, but I did "sign" some far away friends keys before so that was disappointing...

I didn't know about this and thought you were going to reference them switching out NAS drives for SMR ones.

Will need to check this out. I've been looking for a way to index my mother's recipes in a useful way, was somewhat motivated two years ago. I wanted something that: 1. produced well formatt…

I just sold a Early 2015 model and I agree. The M1 would be perfect for this machine.
The form factor of the MacBook Air is still quite a bit bigger, it's truly wild how thin and light the 12…

Thank you for your response, I think I'll bring this up at the next book club :)

Also typing on a "New M"! I was worried as many reviewers claimed they were slightly worse than real Model Ms but I have to say, I think they got everything down. (I've used an SSK and …

I would have to agree with with your assessment, referencing the link in the above tree and this isopenbsdsecu.re . Not to imply I don’t like OpenBSD, I love their first class support of old architect…
