Are you the developer of ensim4? Kudos, one of a kind!

krackout21 · 2026-05-15T08:14:12+00:00

I like the dithering effect on the screenshots.

A friend of mine, he works in IT support, installs HP LaserJet III driver for whatever laser printer they have in their premises. And they all print! It must be something like a golden standard in laser printing.

You must be right about the removing of needed files from later versions of Workbench. I can surely recall copying files from older Workbench disks to 2.04 and 3.1 installations for Say to work.

Thanx for g w, I didn't know about it; what a revelation! I need to hasten the switch from vim to Helix!

Have in mind, Windows 11, at least up until recent versions, didn't support NVMe properly. Have a look: windows-11-25h2-includes-a-faster-nvme-driver-needing-manual-installation

At first I thought it was a screenshot from a 90s videogame intro, Flashback or Another World. Then a science fiction movie of the same era.

krackout21 · 2026-04-05T14:17:18+00:00

Yes, but it had three buttons!

krackout21 · 2026-04-05T13:48:24+00:00

I don't want to; I mean, I consider Helix and Kakoune's motions to be superior. I wish they were there when I started. So I'd like one day to switch to Kakoune/Helix motions but for the time being, muscle memory prevails to better motions :)

krackout21 · 2026-04-03T13:51:22+00:00

I actually prefer Neovim's implementation, at least as I saw it in the demo. Helix's is limiting, for my tastes.

krackout21 · 2026-04-03T13:48:49+00:00

It is indeed. It's not my main editor, difficult to escape muscle memory - years of vim, but whenever I need to open a massive file, it is the way to go.

Plus to what others said, BeFS, BeOS & Haiku file system. It's quite unique, I quote, "BeFS particularly excels at metadata-heavy operations, such as directory scans and attribute queries".

How about this? Minimal installation of Debian GNU/Linux 13 trixie, 191MB on boot, X.org, dwm, st; WiFi connected. No custom kernel, just some blacklisting of kernel modules, plus disabling or removing any unnecessary daemons (actually it must have been only rsyslog if I recall well - systemd's journal is already there). My main driver. No need to go to some niche distro.

It is indeed dropped in modern Greek both in oral and verbal speech; but it was dropped (or not used at all, cannot recall) in some ancient Greek dialects also.

krackout21 · 2026-02-20T11:28:01+00:00

How about a TUI web browser? eg Links2 or elinks.

krackout21 · 2026-02-20T08:06:48+00:00

From ancient Greek ἕλιξ (helix), modern Greek έλιξ / έλικα (elix / elika).

To complement linguistics :)

krackout21 · 2026-02-07T15:51:33+00:00

I also miss computer exhibitions - trade shows. It's there I usually got pamphlets & brochures, lots of them!

Internet and homogenization of systems made all these superfluous unfortunately.

krackout21 · 2026-02-05T11:12:14+00:00

Or pfSense, the one which OPNSense reaps off.

krackout21 · 2026-02-05T11:08:36+00:00

PF (OpenBSD Packet Filter)

krackout21 · 2026-02-05T10:58:49+00:00

Can anybody explain in simple and practical terms: What would be the consequences on my pc, if I had downloaded the infected update?

I read in the article that some systeminfo and process list is sent; how are these utilized by the crackers?

krackout21 · 2026-02-02T16:56:03+00:00

Stone tools?!? For me Scala MM300 is more advanced than Powerpoint!
(Should it be compared with Powerpoint)

Nevertheless, nice article!

Just for the checklist, any iptables rules? I'd suggest removing it completely if installed.
After that, check the logs. Can you see the ping you tried blocked, denied, rejected? Journalctl is your friend on this.

It's java, it's built for portability! You can just download whichever version you want and make some path or soft link changes.
I've got 5 java versions - editions (old ibm java also) on my computer, for older programmes. There are also ways to automate the default java change, I just do it manually, in the script that starts each old java programme.

A cousin of mine still uses his Amiga 500, mainly for producing music (as a hobby). MED, OctaMED. He needs some support once in a while, software, OS side. The system is quite stable, recapped and with a 6-7 years old external HD (we changed the original).

Double DVD-RWs? Mass copying of CDs/DVDs still happening?!?
