A fun thing about having every part of your life on a UPS is that when PG&E kills your power for funsies, all those UPSes turn your house into THE BEEPOCALYPSE

I'm considering bumping the macOS requirements for my binary package repository available at https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/install-on-macos/ again.

There's already a bunch of packages missing because they have newer C++ requirements than Xcode 15.4 supports.

What OS are folks running?

#pkgsrc #macos

macOS 14 Sonoma
macOS 15 Sequoia
macOS 26 Tahoe
Poll ends at .

At this time Takagamine was seen as the haunt of highwaymen and thieves, but Kōetsu's reputation (and the backing of wealthy merchants) quickly turned the area into a hive of artist activity.
"Kōetsu Town" would grow to 55 households, comprising an area 200m E-W and 800m N-S.

I (half) joke as a BSD guy how much frustrates me about modern Linux. But I just spent an hour dealing with the Windows Server RD Licensing Manager and subsequent fun for a client.

It's... I... I know, I know, but still.

@rubenerd I have spent far too long staring at "-drive: command not found" from QEMU wrapper scripts in the past.
Ruben Schade  πŸ”° πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί1d ago

Why yes, I did just spend an embarrassing amount of time diagnosing the equivalent of this script:

foo something \
-bar \
-baz
-alice \
-bob output.log

Being backslashed, as it were.

Mastodon would be greatly improved by a Reply Guy sensor that would throw a pop-up window: "Are you sure you want to send this reply? It looks like a Reply Guy reply."*

*Yes, I know this is probably impossible. I just want Reply Guys to stop and think a moment before hitting send. I also know that Reply Guys by their nature of incapable of such introspection. Yes, I know this post is Reply Guy bait, and that at least one will find it irresistible.
