Is it weird to get mad at my MacBook Air for not getting hot during a video transcoding because I think that means it could be doing this faster?

Well at least one of the things I pre-ordered in 2020 arrived by the end of 2021...

For my fellow OpenBSD ACPI hackers

Reviewing user authentication and telnet negotiation, and implementing a half-assed ordinal suffix function

TIL that Xsnow by @rckjnsn@twitter.com started out as a desk accessory for Macs and was later ported to X11, and Rick still maintains a version for modern macOS
I dug this System 6-compatible version out of a Usenet archive, though snow doesn't accumulate on top of windows like Xsnow

I don't think in my decades of using Unix that I've ever needed to look up a file's atime, and most of my machines now have all partitions mounted `noatime`. Is there any practical need for file access times, especially one worth the overhead incurred updating them?

I’m working on a new System 6 C programming project and I needed a cooperative threading mechanism which didn’t exist in System 6, so I created one


The VAIO SX12 "All Black Edition" was offered with an optional blank keyboard, but only in Japan

Installed a new blank keyboard on my @FrameworkPuter@twitter.com laptop

I added this to OpenBSD in 2004 and it's since propagated to FreeBSD in 2009, NetBSD in 2019, and now DragonFly.
It was my first kernel/C contribution and I had no idea what I was doing but Theo was very supportive and helped me figure it out.
