Gregory's ServerSay 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 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 That depends on who exactly the aforementioned lord is.
If it is Mr. J. Christ (Gregorian calendar), then what the others have said.
If it is his father, who denies having a son (Hebrew calendar, 1736 BC), then you could use an abacus.
If it is the same father, but under a different name (Hijri calendar, 2585 AC), then any quantum computer in the household can deal with it.
If our lord is the Japanese emperor (Reiwa eras, exact date unknown, but the emperor must be 2024 years old, so probably around 40K AC), you can ask Adeptus Mechanicus, and pray to the Machine God there's no heresy found in those files.
Or in any of those cases, you can ask the lord directly, most of them tend to be all-knowing, so for sure they know the password.
