From DJ Chase to ~u9000/RepairLog

Hello All (but probably no one),

The RepairLog alpha site just launched. It is currently fully useable
for its intended purpose, and that is all. Like that’s it.

If you’d like to check it out or start using it, go to
<https://repairlog.u9.tel/>. There is also more information about what’s
next on the main page.

The SI Brochure [1] does not acknowledge the existence of the byte, not even in the section 'Non-SI units that are accepted for use with the SI', and mentions the symbol 'B' only as a reference to the Bel. So the BIPM keeps itself out of this issue.

The 8th edition does.¹

Storage and networking use SI in the SI system. To the computer, all of
these are in binary and thus use powers of 2.

That argument does not make sense, because before now, this issue was
simply decided without much debate. If anything, this thread is
bikeshedding because we’re focused on a small issue.

[Improvement] Renumerate freedoms? 1 year, 7 months ago

From DJ Chase to ~sircmpwn/writefreesoftware.org

Hi everyone,

I love the new site; it’s so much more accessible than the FSF’s site.

On “The four freedoms” page [1], the freedoms are correctly in a
numbered list starting at 0, but then the ordinal numbers in the
paragraphs below start at “first” instead of “zeroth”. This means that
under section “0: Use the software”, it is referred to as the “first
freedom”, section “1: Study and improve the software” is referred to as
the “second freedom”, and so on.

Wouldn’t it make sense to start the ordinals at “zeroth” so that the
Freedoms’ cardinal numbers match up with their ordinal numbers? If so, I
would be happy to create an issue/patch for this.

[ORCA tool] Better way to check compiler? 1 year, 11 months ago

From DJ Chase to ~rabbits/public-inbox

Hi,

I absolutely love POSIX shell, so when I read that the build script is
written in POSIX shell and automatically detects your compiler I just
had to take a look. Upon doing that, I noticed some interesting behavior
and wanted to ask y’all about that:

So right away I noticed that `tool` defaults to using `cc` if $CC isn’t
set, but `cc` is now deprecated in favor of `c99` acording to POSIX
[2][3]. Is this intenteded, and if so may I ask why?

After that, tool checks if the os is cygwin and CC is mingw, and if so
defaults to gcc. Why does it default to gcc here when it previously
defaults to cc? Also, the comment mentions that this might mess people

Certainly. Under “[filters]” of aerc.conf, add the line
“text/html=lynx -dump -stdin”. There is also an explanaition [1] on my
blog, but it doesn’t add too much more detail as it’s really that
simple.

I had the same problem as you. While I did not end up getting it
working, I did find an alternative that I find much more pleasant —
using Lynx instead of w3m. This does mean you loose images, but they’re
usually not important because most clients block them by default.

You could also set up a user who’s mbox/maildir links to /dev/null
