Rescuing data from my IBM ThinkPad 755CE

Some time ago, my dad brought me some of my old stuff that's been bothering him back at our family home. It seems storing some of my things in this big place really is to much, so now I get something brought back every other visit. Anyway, one time I got this old laptop briefcase and it had the Thinkpad Laptop that I had been using as my main machine around the turn of the century. It's an IBM ThinkPad 755 CE that I bought used from my uncle Michael, who got it as his work machine during his […]

Should someone be interested, there is a #rc for the new #imagepipe version.

https://kaffeemitkoffein.de/nextcloud/index.php/s/Dees7SB22sXtoJa

A short story:
I am building the #android #sdk on my own and use my own #sdk build to develop #imagepipe .

See here:
https://codeberg.org/Starfish/SDK-Rebuilds

Doing it that way, I learned a lot.

#imagepipe also has zero #dependencies, so that the resulting #apk is only 643 KiB in size. It fits on a 3.5" #floppy #disk, should you remember them.

#imagepipe is also downward compatible to support devices running #android 4.0.1, whilst targeting #android 16, so you can use #imagepipe even on very old, outdated devices.

Unfortunately, my #samsung Galaxy young broke, so that I cannot test #imagepipe on a native device with a display as small as 320x240 pixels anymore. The last versions worked well on it.

[ABSOLUTE FIX] MacBook System drive full
Before I wrote this article, I have been been cursing like a dock worker, as we say here. Apple makes great hardware, but the software is sometimes quite a shit show. Now that’s out of my system, here is what happened: The drive of my MacBook Pro with Tahoe 26.x installed on it was suddenly full. I did the usual things: clear the caches and remove some apps which

Selfhosting is nice, and it comes with a price to pay.

For me ? It's time, and I have plenty to give away, given that's my passion.

For my SO ? The unbearable noise of rattling disk needles to write on their very precious platters (especially now, thank you AI bullcrap)

The solution ? A nice cron-based compromise, and I feel like someone could get inspired by this :)

Another question for Unix experts - this is a hexdump of a SunOS 4.0.1 install disk for Sun 386i systems. Does anyone recognise the file format? It looks like some sort of file system dump, but I don't think it's a variant of BSD dump(8).

The first fields seem to be (in ASCII) Access permissions, uid, and gid (and later the file/dir name).
