While this article is about OpenBSD's floppy support, if you already had OpenBSD on the machine and working networking, upgrading it without any external devices is as easy as:
Seems like the FTC or some other government agency could save a lot of people a lot of heartache with a PSA targeted at elderly people. Commercials during daytime TV basically saying no one will ever legitimately call you and ask you to buy gift cards as a method of payment.
I've tried Haiku a few times and liked it, but it feels like the beta label has been around forever and is not doing them any favors. It's 2020, you're not publishing software as a big-box release in stores, just cut a release already and then keep iterating!
From Wikipedia:
It wasn't until September, 2009 that Haiku reached its first milestone with the release of Haiku R1/Alpha 1. Then in November, 2012 the R1/Alpha 4.1 was released, while work continued on nightly builds.[8] On September 28, 2018, the Haiku R1/Beta 1 was released.[9] On June 9, 2020, Haiku R1/Beta 2 was released.
So one hack that forks a project and just changes the name on everything to call it their own, talking about a browser fork that did the same thing. Do these people actually contribute any useful code?
There was a free website many years ago that I used, where you print out a form with blocks on it and write each letter, then scan it and upload it and it gets turned into a font. I can't seem to find it now (or maybe it went paid).
Microsoft has an app that lets you do this with a Windows tablet:
Seems like having to use a bunch of popular patches is counter to the author's other praises about how simple and minimal the software is. Why doesn't upstream integrate them and let everyone use them without having to patch?
"Stop using that thing that mostly works as intended and is integrated into lots of email clients and systems, and has a number of independent implementations, and has the decentralized properties that match email."
"What should we use instead?"
"shrug You can send encrypted stickers in Signal, isn't that neat?"
If you're going to advocate for everyone to stop using something that they rely on, make sure there's a viable alternative for them to switch to first (or throw your weight behind making/enhancing one). Otherwise you're just telling people to stop using plastic straws and giving them shitty paper straws in exchange. People know they're bad but the alternatives are worse to them so they stick with the bad thing.
Frankly, if I saw this code on a resume, I'd keep looking.
