We usually go to a small holiday home my dad owns for a week or two in summer - we need to book that early in the year.

Then we do maybe one or two long shorter train trips to other European cities. More often than not that’s to see a musical theatre production, so we book those when they are announced, maybe half a year in advance. Otherwise it could be just days or weeks out!

That’s a planning problem imo, from small towns to metropolises groceries, health clinic, some entertainment can be in walking distance.

I live in a small city of about 90k and I love it. We have the important amnesties, eg shopping and a hospital, but in a few minutes you’re out in the open fields. Meanwhile buses to nearby large city depart every 6 to 30 min from my street.

We don’t even have that rule with CVS. Sometimes you have a merge conflict after cvs up, well then you fix it. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

Two of my favourite tools!

That’s handled by virtue of GetWittyReplyEx being #defined to GetWittyReplyExA and GetWittyReplyExW right? Just be aware that nMaxReplyMessage needs to be specified in bytes (excluding the null terminator!) but the returned length is in characters.

Note that while Visual C++'s msvcrt doesn’t implement this POSIX function officially, there’s a nonstandard _ofcyfpos_s() and it will in fact warn you that any use of the official ofcyfpos() is unsafe. The semantics are slightly different (it’ll return 1 on success instead of the length of the reply) so you can’t just #define the problem away.

Don’t forget to set the cbSize of the GETWITTYREPLYEXINFO structure before passing it to GetWittyReplyEx() or you’ll get funny things happening to your stack!

Thanks! And for CMR 2 it turns out it was working fine, the PS2 analog stick is just a bit more primitive to what we’re used to now. But much better than digital in any case!

Thanks, that’s it for the PS3!

Iain Banks, such a brilliant author. Good sense of humour too.

I like Void, it feels a little more like a BSD. But I’ve only really used it for experimentation, no idea what it’s like as a daily driver.

You could also try an actual BSD. OpenBSD has a very clear style and direction which I like but be careful when partitioning, they have their own ‘disklabel’ system. Updates are really streamlined with syspatch and sysupgrade.

NetBSD had a nice TUI installer. It may appear a bit less focussed on its aims but has a lot going for it: many supporter platforms, a friendly community, etc.

There’s also FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, possibly more but I don’t have much experience with those.

Loved cheese but not having it any more. Not my milk not my cheese. My pleasure can’t come at the expense of another sentient, innocent being, especially not if that involves forced impregnation, being caged up, and having your children be taken almost right away who then often end up being killed because there’s no use.
