A great article by Gary Kildall about CP/M in Byte Magazine Volume 06 Number 06. June 1981. (p. 217) Operating Systems https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1981-06/page/n217/mode/1up #computers #computing #system #cpm #os #byte #magazine #journal #reading #readers #read #mustread #retrocomputing #retrocomputers #retro #vintage #press #tech #plm #pli #cpm86 #mpm #garykildall

Fascinating interview with Brian Eno from 1995 about the future of music. Couple of predictions were spot on. Also involves talk about art, boundaries, creativity, processes and systems, plus a bunch of other stuff. https://www.wired.com/1995/05/eno-2/ #process #system #creativity #art #design #music

The system works for them. And it always has. We warned you time and time again. You had your bullshit excuses. No one cared about the suffering and despair in the world. People tried “green capitalism” or “social imperialism.” All just excuses. It was so comfortable. Even in your own affluent countries, there was nothing but hatred and racism. Then people said it was the working class’s fault—that they were doing it wrong and were to blame. Excuses, nothing but excuses. You knew exactly what was going on; you were told a thousand times. Every child who dies is another nail in the coffin of this degenerate system. Die. We simply don’t deserve anything better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd96jHtAODc https://word.undead-network.de/2026/09/15/the-system-works-for-them/ #anarcho #ausrotten #gaza #green #hypocrites #imperialism #kapitalism #punk #social #system #war

Algorithmic governance fails because it treats society like a closed loop. Complex systems theory shows us that rigid rules cannot predict emergent behavior. We need flexible frameworks instead of hardcoded logic. #system #complexity #governance

I noticed that signing in to Mastodon using 2FA didn't reliably work. Turns out my system clock was ~30 seconds behind that of the actual time (currently GMT +1 for me).

On Linux distributions that have systemd, systemd apparently synchronises your system time with a time server automatically. However, I use Devuan (i.e. Debian but without systemd) so I had to do it manually.

I used htpdate to set the time to a UK time server on pool.ntp.org like this:

sudo htpdate uk.pool.ntp.org

No need to reboot. It's now accurate to GMT+1 to within about half a second. :)

"Tenemos la red, esa que los malos utilizan con tanta eficacia y que los buenos nunca aprendieron a aprovechar.

Compartimos un amor por la libertad que nace de cuidar la red y de preocuparnos por ella. Somos los responsables de la herramienta de organización y gobierno más importante que la humanidad haya creado jamás. En este momento, somos lo más parecido a un gobierno que queda en el mundo. Ginebra es un cráter. El East River está en llamas y las Naciones Unidas han sido evacuadas.

La República Distribuida del Ciberespacio sobrevivió prácticamente intacta a esta tormenta. Somos los custodios de una máquina inmortal, monstruosa y maravillosa, una máquina con el potencial de reconstruir un mundo mejor.

Ya no me queda nada por lo que vivir, salvo eso."

Manufacturing ERP often judged by implementation cost. Better question: What return does business get over next few years? Higher ROI usually comes from: • Better production planning • Lower inventory carrying cost • Fewer manual tasks • Less downtime • Faster order processing • Real-time reporting • Better demand forecasting • Improved resource use Biggest value rarely comes from one feature. Comes from connecting production, inventory, purchasing, sales, finance, quality, management into one system. Teams spend less time searching for data, fixing errors, making reactive decisions. More time improving operations. Before choosing ERP, define measurable goals: Reduce production cost Improve inventory accuracy Increase on-time delivery Shorten order cycle Improve profit margins Track KPIs before and after go-live. That gives clear picture of actual ROI.

I am taken with the sense that someone in our headspace (someone pretty well hidden and making their presence known almost in a purely negative way, nudging us towards certain trains of thought and resolutions about how to spend our time) is trying to work around difficult inward problems that interfere with our taking up #programming again. We definitely haven't gotten back our old facility with it. We have little bursts of clear thinking and then the shadows close in again. #plural #system

Slave to the #system? I deliberately left the bit about Bitcoin in my #Cypherpunk Manifesto article. I’d copied it and included a link to it. It was addressed to the W3 crowd on Nostr, who see Bitcoin as the savior. Here, Bitcoin is seen as the Antichrist, facilitating the rise of fascism. Both are oversimplified analyses. That’s why I’d been hoping for a discussion, as I’m not entirely sure myself. However, both #Thiel and #Musk made their fortunes through predatory platforms, mainly via #PayPal. The most horrific things in the world happen because #BlackRock and the like speculate on food. Because the military-industrial complex is flooding the world with weapons. All without Bitcoin or crypto. There’s also the Bitcoin Africa movement, which simply doesn’t fit into the ‘scammer-hater’ narrative. Nevertheless, I think that as long as the world is ruled by #money (and it will be for a long time to come), it’s better to have decentralized money than #centralized money managed by states or companies. In Germany, they say, ‘Money doesn’t stink’. With money, you can buy flowers for your loved one or weapons to fight the enemy. The dollar and the euro are ultimately controlled by a select few.. Crypto could, if viewed positively, be #democratic. I think this is a worthwhile discussion. Think in terms of #structures, not #ideologies. https://word.undead-network.de/2026/07/07/slave-to-the-system/ #bitcoin #cryptho #decentral #freedom #money #slavery #w3 #www3

“Far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth’s #climate #system is an ornery beast which overreacts even to small nudges,” wrote the late Wallace Broecker in 1995, two decades after he coined the term “ #globalwarming.” RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:sg725qoaoo3amupk3p5gi6yl/post/3mpy32x7oas2f

A #Labour #Government should be doing everything in its power to stop those attitudes encroaching further into the mainstream. #Britain doesn’t need another #law that will only confirm beliefs that #immigration is out of control. It needs more courageous arguments for a #system that is robust, but also #humane."

imagine you're considering building a codebase from source. imagine a first sentence that would be comforting to hear. now imagine someone sarcastically responding to the above prompt, and refusing to break character: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/linux_build.html#system-preparation To build Firefox, it’s necessary to have a Python of version 3.9 or later installed. Python 2 is no longer required to build Firefox, although it is still required for running some kinds of tests. Additionally, you will probably need Python development files as well to install some pip packages. now i understand why the rustc build system is like that OTL

Was ist #dpkg-repack? dpkg-repack erstellt aus einem bereits installierten Paket ein #deb-Paket – genau so, wie es gerade auf dem #Devuan #GNU / #Linux #System vorliegt. Das bedeutet: Alle Dateien und besonders die #Konfigurationsdateien werden mit ihrem aktuellen Stand #gesichert. Installiert wird es mit doas apt install dpkg-repack. Das Hauptszenario: Absicherung vor einem Update Angenommen, auf einem Server läuft seit Monaten ein Apache-Webserver (apache2) mit einer aufwendig konfigurierten Virtual-Host-Landschaft. In /etc/apache2/ wurden diverse Dateien angepasst, Module aktiviert, SSL-Zertifikate eingebunden. Nun erscheint ein Update für apache2 im Repository. linux.ambag.es/terminal-allgem…
