Funnily enough, I have scripts that archive my fandom's entire Tumblr, Ao3, and Fanfiction.net output. (The Tumblr one is an attempt, since you can't archive a fandom so much as the popular tags.) There wasn't any bump…

We all need to go back to numbered versioning. I've been on macOS and have to check every time I need to know what OS I'm running. High Sierra, Monrovia, Yosemite, who the fuck knows I've spent two days in California my…

i'm so tired of seeing this discouraging crap - "that's not a backup, LOSER" file sync is backup against the things most people have to deal with (hardware breaking, theft, house fire, residential lightning strike)
It's deliberate but not malicious. Like when my kids ask for a new toy. Saying no because we can't afford it is deliberate but not malicious. State agency resources are finite. I know my small town had to jack up…

Apple has a browser. Apple sits on the CSS steering committee. The assertion is that the major browser owners (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla) don't want competition, so they keep CSS complicated. All four of these…
