RIP to my OG Gmail account that I forgot the password to but still have POP access to via the Gmail web client.

Wonder if it's possible to change the POP server without changing the credentials... You could set up your own sniffer server to retrieve the password that Gmail sends to you.

I'm in the same boat, and unfortunately, no

There was a period in the early-mid 2000s where CLIs were considered passe and an emblem of the past. Some developers relied solely on graphical IDEs on GUI-oriented operating systems, and the transition to Linux everywhere broke that trend. Some people didn't take Linux seriously because it was CLI oriented.

Funny, I've totally missed this.

I don’t remember that at all.

Maybe in some circles.


I'm genuinely curious where Swift is being used outside of macOS/iOS apps

These are honest questions and not rhetorical: how does Zig handle versions with syntax changes or breaking changes?

Can you mix Zig libraries written X years ago with modern Zig? Will today's code work in 5-10 years if I want to use it in a project then?


Zig has not hit 1.0 yet, and as recently as a few months ago completely reworked how every form of IO is written. AFAIK, this wasn't a syntax change, but it changed the function signature or type definition of every piece of code that reads/writes a file, establishes a connection, etc. At the current time, there is little guarantee that the code you write today will still work in 5-10 years time.

Bailouts aren't coming this time lol

What's the COVID death toll in America and how many people are going to die from preventable causes when healthcare cuts go into effect next year

You get these for free with btrfs


It also saves on wear

Using any file system that supports compression on top of LUKS does compression before encryption
