The article mentions that Hurd is also a recursive acronym, but doesn't go into any more details.

After looking it up on Wikipedia, I see why not:

It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.

I can only answer the first part: .jxl

Yup: Backblaze Product and Pricing Updates

I plan to switch over later when it makes sense to - the nice thing about Backblaze is that it scales with your storage, whereas with Hetzner you have to jump from 1 TB to 5 TB.

It's for storing a few terabytes of fairly static media (for the most part, write-once). The codebases using it don't natively support object storage (and will be in Docker containers).

It's on a Hetzner server, and Backblaze (even after the price increase) will be a lot cheaper than normal drives, although their storage box option is probably better value over about two GB.

Wil Wheaton confirmed the furniture-moving story: https://old.reddit.com/r/scifi/comments/1dx9y7/riker_sits_down_always_with_the_leg_over_the/c9v52pj/?context=2

What makes you say it was a car accident?

oops - fixed, cheers

Huh, I thought that bit sounded interesting but each to their own. I like card games in real life, but not having to deal with bothering to shuffle all the time is nice.

Uncharted

That's still a series I've yet to start but I'm sure I'll love them.

Ah, I'm too late for this. Cave Story+ is on until "today" (no idea what time/timezone it changes).

Surely you meant to link to their Mastodon account: https://universeodon.com/@STDeltaShift

You mean community, btw (sh.itjust.works is the instance).

Thanks for doing this, but I have equally little idea about how to best visualise it.

I was already getting free egress by going via Cloudflare (plus a small amount outside that that stayed within the free tier), so for me this is just a 20% price increase.

• PDA: I loved my Palm Pilot and I can still write using that script (was quite nice when I noticed my Android keyboard supported it)
• Raspberry Pi: this feels weird to be on this list! I still have one in the living room running Kodi
• No to the others, although I did have one of these beauties:
  

I like them - fast enough and a good price, especially if you have public data you're happy to put behind Cloudflare for free egress.

Edit: Aaaand this morning I get an email saying prices are going up by 20% in October 🤦‍♂️

If there's not much in it, I'll go with the rust app because I like to use something I can see myself contributing to if the urge takes me.

I know other languages, but there's no way I'm driving into a random C++ codebase unless I'm confident it's a trivial fix.

I would have posted this it you hadn't.

I have it set as my default shell on my main machine, but it's not going anywhere near my servers! It's definitely the most fun shell I've used, and hopefully some more of the warts can be shaved off as it matures.

Some great lines in this film. Perhaps my favourite is

I watched this for the first time the other day and was shocked they didn't make more (particularly as I'd noticed some other The Nice Guys titles in imdb but they're all shorts or what would have been DVD extras once upon a time). Given that this was initially developed as a series, I'm sure they have more stories to tell, It's a real shame.

I hate seeing new IPs not get traction as it just leads execs to churn out more of the same old remakes and repeats.
