Work is utterly pissing me off today. I should really log off social media.

Full disclosure...I'm getting very tired of everything I run into having obstacles. I know it's a "feature" of retrocomputing, but with 2 jobs and house work...I don't get a lot of time.

What do they mean "used to"? I'm not giving my money to a streaming service that advertises for ICE. Bring on the burning!

#FediHelp: I had #ProtonMail installed via APK (sideloaded) but removed it because of some setting I can't remember which basically had them collecting information. I think you could opt-out, but I found it offensive they even had it in there. (I think it was the "anonymous telemetry" on by default)

Anyone have input on #Tutanota? It's client is in F-droid while Proton's is not. So I'm hoping Tuta may be a slightly better option for me.

Basically my primary email is on my own server. But when I lose power or Internet, I have no email. So when the ISP emails me of outages and time frames...I obviously don't get it (oops). So I want a back email email for that purpose.

Was going to use Proton, but I really don't appreciate them doing what they did in their app. So I'm looking at Tuta and asking if anyone has had any negative experiences?

Does this make any sense? How the hell does something like this end up at Goodwill and worse, how the hell would pay $1500 to Goodwill?

Wrong url pasted. Sorry.

Updated my auto-delete policy to keep those which are liked or boosted. I had it set to keep those I bookmark, but I want to try and keep threads of topics. We'll see how this goes.

Maybe I should just periodically go through and delete posts I don't want. (i.e.the "vents"). 🤔

Quick question:

Anyone know if Bash has a variable to hold the command line args before they were expanded?

If I type myscript *, $@ holds the expanded list. Is there a variable that holds the '*'?

I wanna puke. Just out of curiosity I looked up JS to Perl converters. Almost all are Artificial Idiots.

I think it's time for Web 3.0 - no artificial crap.

#Emacs #OrgMode users: I use :exclude to skip files, BUT is there a way to skip entire directories? The Regex I put in :exclude does not omit directories (prevent recursion). I've also tried making the directories hidden (on Unix by starting the name with a '.') - still doesn't work.

Is there way to prevent org-publish from recursing into specific directories, but go ahead in general? I would like to be able to "prune the tree".

TIA.

If you're interested, the Procomm Installation Instructions I found with the floppy have been scanned and added to my repo. I've not put them on IA yet though. I want to see if I can get the disk archived first.

Rewatched Heroes a couple of weeks back and Hiro's dad, played by George Takei, had a limousine.

Actual RetroComputing Question:

I want to re-create my first 386SX system now that I found so many floppies.

What virtualization SW do you think is best for this project?

Makes me wonder if this is a effort by "closed source" to disrupt/poison/discredit open source? 🤔
