  1. We do what we must, because we can / For the good of all of us
  2. I totally failed on the balancing part, was working on the thesis like a runaway diesel engine. I could sleep and step away from the word processor window but it kind of consumed my thoughts at all times. Towards the end stress started to spill over to the physical domain and it took about 4 months after the submission and thesis defense (no snakes fortunately) for symptoms to subside.
  3. AA-lib is alive and kicking (I think): https://aa-project.sourceforge.net/
  4. A very un-scientific screen grab and saving as a GIF gives me 604kB at 990×1000 pixels, but this does include color fringing at the edges of each letter and I'd be inclined to treat this as a 1 BPP image.
  5. don't do it
  6. I remember a GitHub repository where someone documented problems and resolutions related to their house in the issues section.

    I'm also trying to gather a personal backlog of things at home patiently waiting to be resolved, but can't even get myself through the collection phase...

  7. GNU Stow? https://systemcrafters.net/managing-your-dotfiles/using-gnu-...

    Keep the alternate sets in different subdirectories.

  8. At least you don't have to type the same letters while holding a thin tape over your screen to erase them!

    Apple also had separate Return and Enter symbols on keyboards for a while, which also sounds like typewriter territory but their intended use was a bit different: https://creativepro.com/a-tale-of-two-enter-keys/

  9. I have also dug around a bit to find out this one, and the earliest httpd I could get my hands on is 1.3.0 which is hosted on the Apache archive site: https://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/

    "src/modules/standard/mod_include.c" says:

      /*
       * http_include.c: Handles the server-parsed HTML documents
       * 
       * Original by Rob McCool; substantial fixups by David Robinson;
       * incorporated into the Apache module framework by rst.
       * 
       */
    
    Rob McCool is the author of NCSA HTTPd so it seems there is direct lineage wrt. this feature between the two server implementations.
  10. I meant the "include" statement of PHP which you can use even if your HTTP server is not configured for processing SSI directives.
  11. PHP's initial release announcement mentions includes as a feature that can be used even if the server does not have SSI support: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.infosystems.www.authoring.c...
  12. Some of the sharks will also do just fine sitting still: https://www.britannica.com/story/do-sharks-really-die-if-the...
  13. 1.2 times the circumference of the Earth. Is space compressed between SF and Guatemala City somehow?
  14. Just like a person would!
  15. C: is the boot partition with the DoubleSpace driver, D: is the compressed volume.
  16. I'm getting "Windows Subsystem for Linux" vibes from the project name. Shouldn't this be called a HEUFX with a Californium source?
  17. Someone linked the FAQ elsewhere and point 1.6 covers this: https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi#16-so-its-just-words...
