If you care about your data, the second thing to demand is ECC. That tends to narrow all the trash out of the choices, so it’ll be easier.

The first thing is backups. The first thing is always backups. With checksums. Preferably encrypted and at rest.

Does some place have a trusted archived copy? Should be easy to checksum a given common commit in their history and read forward.

You already had it. They pretended to have an election and then they slowly dismantle the remains of a pretend democracy while the dictatorship/oligarchy continues. You don’t wave banners or do any big loud moves and there’s minimum resistance. Hell, you can even have a little concentration camps and death squads as a treat.

Just like there’s been WWIII going on in Europe for years now with minimal resistance outside the immediate warzones.

And there’s been several country wide invasions in recent decades. A bit of news for a while, but as long as you don’t put up new flags, they’re forgotten about after a few years as businesses get going again.

I was always a burrower when a bit of extra wall on top. Kind of dreamed of being more mason.

Me too. It’s beautiful. It’s amazingly beautiful and interesting and kind of simple. But I hate twitchy platforming and being thrown back a long way because of a tiny mistake or ten every time.

I had an mc218 for a while, too. Really cool device and an amazing battery life. I’d almost still like too have one.

I vaguely remember that it could even boot Linux from external storage but because of the RAM and CPU, it would not really have been usable. Epic is tiny, though.

Better late than never.

Nice. I remember there used to be some machines with battery backed RAM way back. Like canon x-07 iirc.

And especially dosbox staging and dosbox x.

Apart from being different forks, of course.

It was an advertising stunt. They never intended to offer anything useful.

Very nice. There’s a lot more of interesting stuff on the site.

It’s a bit off the mark, but I’ll mention the Nybbles and Bytes youtube videos because I think they’re pretty neat.

Fail

Always cut the cards and smile when you lose.

Or

Forewarned is forearmed.

I have bought a few otherwise hard to find books on Amazon. Actual paper books. At least used to be possible.

And the nightmare still goes on.

If all the settings and versions match, my first suspicion would be that there’s some library available on one system that gets used but not the other. Have you taken very verbose logs to see if there’s differences that stand out?

A duopoly or any oligopoly is effectively the same as a monopoly.

If it runs it’s 1.0. Yes, that’s the point where it prints hello world. This zero point bs naming in projects is just idiotic.

Any box with good books seems to work for me. Actually, it even works without a box.
