So, I tried to fumble a little with Linux syscalls and tried to implement a program that restarts the computer. [preformatted] After a quick, successful test, I checked how others implement the reboot. To my surprise, busybox tries to send a signal to init instead of using the reboot syscall, like I did. This makes me wonder, why that is.

I was surprised that CHECKBOOK wasn't a valid word today.
What strategies do you employ for remembering words/finding answers? — Depending on the letters, i'll use a lot of different strategies: - try to attatch/combine shorter words with prefixes and suffixes, especially latin/greek - combine whole words with each other - rearrange letters in previous answers - try to put together a string of letters that sound like they could be a word (this is a desperate move)
[amiga] blue dress — Here's another amiga piece that I made. I'm kind of bummed I can't post these here as plaintext because of the font/color requirements. But on the other hand, it's more comfortable knowing I having full control over how the picture will be seen.

I've been retired for 10 years and live on the 10th floor of an apartment building right next to a riverfront. My favorite pastime, among many, is to sit on my 10ft balcony to drink my coffee, eat cookies, smoke cigarettes, and face the riverfront. These are my two achy knees that do not go down the stairs unless absolutely necessary. The elevator is a bit finicky and I can't recall the last time I went down. People-sketching is one of my all-time favorite pastimes. I sketch joggers, runners,...

Oh hey, you have a subspace on here! Good stuff. I'm still watching the backlog of episodes, and still have a way to go. I may still send emails, but now that I know this is here, I'll definitely be posting here. Cheers!

anyone have a good guide for integrating sqlite3 without Lazarus or forms? I found a simple example but I wanted a bit of description on the units and their functions.

fantacy computer inc. Let's try to 'design' a fantacy computer. Disclaimer: I'm not really a hardware person, please bear with me while I ramble about my fantacy machine. I can only hope that one day someone out there will produce, perhaps handcraft a true durable computer that could outlast me. I think the tech is already here, at least on the hardware side. Tantalum capacitor, leaded solder, MEMS oscillator, ceramic PCB, gold PCB trace, some detuned CPU that will be running at a some what...
Most mechanical movements only need to be disassembled and cleaned once every 3 to 5 years. Yes you need a few consumables such as o-rings and few micrograms of lubricants of different grades. But a well serviced movement can last few decades. If you pick a mass produced movements, replacement part are relatively easy and cheap to source. The Swiss ETA2824 movement for example has been in production since circa 1974! Can you imagine such a long product life cycle in the world of electronics?...

Video Games in Target Language — I’ve been playing Animal Crossing New Leaf for since January in English and decided today that I should switch the language the game is in to Spanish to expose myself to plenty of Spanish vocabulary and grammar. I’ll be sure to let you guys know how it’s been going in a few weeks or so 😎
Gemini on old platforms. — With AmiGemini existing for the Amiga platform. What other old platforms does have Gemini client? With my limited knowledge I think that SSL is the limiting factor, right? I would love to see a MS-DOS/FreeDOS etc. client.
Word count — I find it a little inconvenient that you can only see your own total number of words getting updated every five minutes as part of the top 10. One's own words are listed right there on the page, and I often find myself manually counting them. I suppose the top 10 must be some cached static list that gets updated periodically. However, when showing the player's own score, would it be difficult to replace that cached line with the player's up-to-date current word count, so one can...

— femdom spam (gemlog.blue)
seems gemlog.blue is just a bunch of spam accounts. I was hoping to find real content.
Duolingo gave me a 3-day ad-free trial... — Interesting. As I entered the 8th-day streak, Duolingo gave me a 3-day no-ad unlimited error upgrade. Does everyone get it, or is it because I've been putting in hours every day? In spite of its occasional crashing and now, occasional muting for no reason (only restarting the app fixes it), I still find it pretty useful, and it is just stupid enough to keep my brain occupied without too much hard work. This results in me picking up language basics...
