I haven’t found a solid answer for this…does XMPP support proper history nowadays? I remember using XMPP servers back around 2012 and if you didn’t have your client open, you just missed messages in rooms. If that’s still the case, it’s a pretty significant draw back…

I know it’s not the most popular, but I’ve genuinely been happy with Matrix for the last few years. Obviously there are problems, but it really has gotten fairly stable. At least…for me…

I was hoping to hear “I am moving away because the JVM sucks to administer”…oh well. A man can dream.

Java 8 was a thing for a long time (source administered Hadoop clusters that were - and possibly still are - stuck on Java 8).

Java 8 was analogous to 1.8…for reasons.

I wanna say Java 11 (the version after 8) came out around 2011? After that the release cadence was somewhat steady. I think Java 21 landed around 2021?

(Note: I refuse to actually look any of this up.)

Edit: my refusal to look anything up immediately bites as someone else pointed out:

1. There was a Java 10
2. It was released in 2018.
3. Both of these facts helped me remember Java 9 being released.

(Note: I continue to refuse to actually look anything up)

A potentially interesting alternative to Zed without the AI…

(That I have not used, so I don’t know if it’s good or bad)

I don’t understand… It wasn’t even an Arch-based distro!

His mouth is too big. Like he was stacking hockey pucks in his mouth right before this image.

I would rather he stack hockey pucks in his mouth.

btrfs can pool disks just fine. Create a RAID nice and quick.

There’s also btrfs send and receive. Which may be what you need for shipping the data? You can use SSH for a secure write…

If this is a one-time copy, I’d strongly consider just syncing the data vs. shipping drives (which, as people have pointed out, may have serious reliabilty concerns).

Otherwise, if you must ship, I’d say the best move is two copies of each piece of data, so any single drive failing in shipping isn’t a big deal. But not a RAID. Just two literal copies on two separate drives. Simplest way to ensure some redundancy.

You can even have like…40 taskbars floating in the middle of the screen!

Do I have to use a MyPillow for best results?

Kasts is decent. And it integrates with gpodder, which means you can sync with mobile pretty nicely.

Check for mounts hiding the underlying drive?

Sometimes du . -x will help, too. (-x doesn’t cross mount points).

So you’re say remove emacs and replace it with vi? I agree!

Cowards are too afraid to place vi anywhere on these axes…

I think a reasonable quorum already said this, but NFS is still good. My only complaint is it isn’t quite as user-mountable as some other systems.

So…I know you said no SAMBA, but SAMBA 4 really isn’t bad any more. At least, not nearly as shit as it was.

If you want a easily mountable filesystem for users (e.g. network discovery/etc.) it’s pretty tolerable.

I remember having to compensate for the Pentium float bug in the Turbo Pascal programs I was writing back then. I really didn’t understand what I was doing at the time, and the 90s version of StackOverflow (A Tripod blog?) wasn’t that enlightening…

I’m not sure how closely it hews to your definition, but I really love vim.

Not neovim. vim.

And get those plugins out of my face. I just want a TUI text editor that works the same everywhere.

This is how someone cracked Okta a few years back: https://medium.com/@rajat29gupta/bcrypt-and-the-okta-incident-what-developers-need-to-know-9d13a446738a
