@dirtycommo morning (for you) :3

I saw your comment on starting with basic in uxn, have you seen my video on starting a cpm like os?

I'll try to make part 2 today, and how to do the uxn simplest setup.

I do plan to also make some "tracethroug" videos of real programs including Sunflower Basic for uxn.

Today, MONDAY OCTOBER 5th, is the last day to register to vote for the 2026 midterm elections in Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana, & Kentucky. You CAN register online in those states but do it quickly today.
If you've moved - even nearby - since the last election, then you need to register your new address.

These used to be Flock cameras.

They no longer are.

I appreciate whoever did this.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a statewide disaster emergency due to the measles outbreak. This was avoidable.

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st Yeah, and in those days even Canterbury to London wasn't a trivial journey: Real risk of hypothermia, tweenagers singing Craig David for three hours and, on a bad day, having to change at Faversham.

Brain is bad right now, but I'm figuratively touching grass with the boys.

@podfeet No.

saw a great tip about using a dog training clicker to mark where you mess up a take in an audio recording, because it generates a nice clean pattern in the waveform that makes it easy to spot

works great, but my dog is going nuts

@rmondello given that I stayed in the closet on three hours a night for many many years… co-signed.

Any rsync experts here? I have a tricky problem. I thought I was fairly adept with rsync but this one has me stumped.

My backup scheme is a 1:1 snapshot of my home dir, updated hourly, to 4TD spinning rust. The thing is about 500 GB. Just a simple copy, -ua --delete.

Hourly a bash script creates a new year/month/day/HOUR folder, then does the classic hard link/rsync hack of copying the previous hour's folder to the new HOUR using hard links, then rsync updates the new HOUR from the snapshot (rsync unlinks before copying). The result is that only files that have changed are copied, the rest (99.999% usually) are just hard links.

(On different scheds I prune these at 30 days to one saved per day, blah blah, immaterial here.)

I've got two years of this, consuming ~3TB of disk.

MY PROBLEM/QUESTION:

I need to move these directories and files from an ext4 drive in Debian box A, to a zfs system in FreeBSD box B.

The problem is that all that rsync can do is copy a hard-linked file, not reproduce the directory relationships to the underlying inodes; rsync is magical but not that magical.

Can anyone think of a way to move this big blob of interrelated files and hard links?

I was in the stands. I watched it live.

I stopped watching wrestling after that.

The basic events are summarized here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerpoke_of_Doom

But the gist is this:

The creative team at WCW added a second multiple hour long broadcast to their schedule in 1998, at that point they were doing somewhere in the ballpark of 10 hours of live, unscripted television every week. They were out of ideas.

In the meantime, they had given complete creative control, or at least veto power, to Terry Gene Bollea, better known as “Hulk” Hogan. (I've written about my thoughts on the hulkster: https://ajroach42.com/heroes-dead-and-otherwise/ I won't revisit them here.)

Those two things taken together led to the situation described in the above article. A match that had been hyped for months didn't happen, and instead another perhaps equally exciting match was going to happen, and then ... nope, ha ha, you all suck and you're dumb for liking this.

While that was happening, one of the announcers said to the TV audience that something more exciting was happening on the rival program, and ... well, the ratings speak for themselves. "over half a million viewers switched channels from Nitro on TNT to Raw is War on the USA Network"

This November, Colorado voters will decide on anti-trans ballot measures.

Now, Colorado's leading medical societies have formally condemned the surgery ban for transgender youth and announced their position against them.

@alina all hash functions are wrong and useless even if they weren't literally designed by ron rivest. mine is better and it's so fucking simple. cracking a broken function based on made up foundations that are not met by the implementation is script kiddie shit. the revolution is nigh

Pssst. There are still a few almost-free tickets available for #FediForum starting tomorrow.

FediForum | Next FediForum: 6–...

Tomorrow is the first of two 1/2 days at the online Open Social Web conference, FediForum! It usually happens twice a year and I love getting together with like-minded smart people to talk about the OSW, the Fediverse, and ATmosphere.

I’ll post my thoughts here, the blog area of this site, and on my Indieweb or Encryptr.net profiles. (Both are PhillyCodeHound).
