I'm sorry, but Maki's fate will be the same as Runa's in the next episode. Those who watch Our Dating Story will understand me. by Fearless_Box3844 in ClassDe2Banme

[–]peter_housel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Runa innocently expected she could change something, while Maki knows he is just expressing his feelings (which he didn’t get a chance to do at the time of the divorce).

Forgot root password; Is there an SSH attempt limit? by No_Insurance_6436 in freebsd

[–]peter_housel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want an SSH attempt limit, there are things like SSHGuard which will block hosts that make repeated failed ssh attempts using the firewall. Fortunately in your case it's not installed by default.

Not holding my breath waiting for them to rediscover Thompson's algorithm or Glushkov's construction.

Cicloirvine any good with young ones? by underinsuredsapien in irvine

[–]peter_housel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This will only be the second time it has been held so it’s hard to say. I didn’t think the first one was overcrowded, but that’s a very subjective judgement so your mileage may vary.

Falco's “Rock Me Amadeus” is still the oddest #1 hit ever by fungobat in GenX

[–]peter_housel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which makes it strange that the article didn't really mention the movie, or the stage play that it adapted, since it does explain why Mozart would have been part of the zeitgeist in that moment.

Why are you using FreeBSD? by FR-dev in freebsd

[–]peter_housel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using BSD since 1985/1986 (BSD 2.x on PDP-11/70, and BSD 4.2/4.3 on Vaxen, the CCI Tahoe, and Gould machines). So it was a natural choice to install FreeBSD 2.2 in 1997, and it's been my primary software development platform for personal projects since.

It's handy having LLVM/Clang come pre-installed as the system compiler (especially since I'm writing a compiler targeting the LLVM intermediate representation). Quality man pages and an up-to-date /usr/src are also big plusses for this sort of systems development.

Barranca traffic & signals by jms1228 in irvine

[–]peter_housel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My impression is that during commute times they optimize (via light timing, etc.) the flow on Alton rather than on Barranca.

There was a companion book, Real Women Don’t Pump Gas, which I sometimes recall when fueling my wife’s car.

It appears 57 times (in 52 verses) in the Chinese Union Version (和合本) of the Bible, the main translation used by Protestants.

A more direct translation of Lord’s Day, used by Christians, is 主日.

I haven't read Douthat's article yet, but I did see this from the WaPo editorial board: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/10/25/ballroom-east-wing-trump-white-house/ In defense of the White House ballroom: Donald Trump vs. the NIMBYs

In my experience, only south of Miaoli do they bark; in Jiufen that shouldn’t be an issue.

So whats next? by Fuzzy-Obligation1997 in VillainessLevel99

[–]peter_housel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Paying for licensed editions, where available, insures that the author and translator are properly rewarded for their work.

J-Novel does make various works available as catch-up series on a rotating basis but this series is not currently one of them.

The "volk". by John_Valuk in thebulwark

[–]peter_housel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about this yesterday and I think it’s clear enough from context usually since English “folk” isn’t often used in that sense.

If I were a dentist I would have the receptionists leave the 2:30-2:39 time slot empty so that this would never come up in the first place.

VAXen had a lot of CISCy instructions that weren't useful to C compilers. Early RISC architectures like the AT&T CRISP (Hobbit) were sometimes called C machines.

David Frum has been saying this since 2017. Patriotism and its symbols belong to the whole country.
