Say you had a bunch of .rar files and you forgot their password. What tool would you use to recover the data, in the year of our lord 2024?

@fasterthanlime Here in Spain, telegrams disappeared on the 2000s. I remember sending notifications by telegram until late 90s, then discovering a text-certified "burofax" (a document sent to post office, then copied down and faxed to a second post office and sent by a postman to its destination) was cheaper. @fasterthanlime I've never used #Telegram but I have used #Telex.

@fasterthanlime lol, but if you use dura this isnβt terrible advice since youβre constantly making commits in the background https://github.com/tkellogg/dura oh no the discourse instance for the automatic-https server has an expired certificate, oh nooo *looks up if this qualifies as irony* the only two moods when doing paperwork: scratch that, 2023 adds a third mood: "oh NO, I have to get through an AI chatbot first" @fasterthanlime I'd love to see more work on humans.txt for websites and also add pronouns there.

@fasterthanlime This seems like a good step towards abolishing there being an "in group" at all. @fasterthanlime Ah, right, because "if only programmers programmed correctly, programs would be correct" has always worked in the past. Goodness, HN is a website. interestingly, opensource.apple.com has a bunch of copies of apache, but not nginx (that I can find). Presumably because they donβt redistribute it? I've read the stage of that typescript project where the bundler corrupts its own cache every couple changes or so

@fasterthanlime Some cats are less comfortable having their lines of sight disrupted while they're toileting. Depending on your cat's age, there might be joint stiffness (our roommates' cat has severe arthritis and can't always use his litterbox comfortably). But my guess is your floof prefers to just have an eye out on surroundings π° Does the KISS acronym call the reader stupid, or does it say to keep it simple AND keep it stupid? I've always wondered: Anonymous poll

@fasterthanlime "most good ideas discovered in the first 20" my dude is winking at the lisp crowd, and I'm HERE for it π

Every time a developer says "Zero-cost abstractions", there is a computer somewhere that gets a bit slower.
