Would muxfs be easily portable to other operating systems, or does it rely on non-standard APIs?

Not at all since "case _:" is assigning to a variable you do not care about.

You missed the second sentance. The length of the translated string is less critical for a tooltip compared to a toolbar filled with buttons. Imagine when an app is to be translated to 20 languages. Only the original language had the luxery

That's why Rhapsody was absolute peak for me. Haiku might beat it, though I'm probably stuck on Linux anyway.

Maybe it's less of an issue because your window manager doesn't need to connect to ssh servers or even do any kind of heavy lifting.

Well, it's 3/4 the regular price, and they disable the daily filesystem snapshots. [0] So it's still 6x the price of B2, which made me go with Backblaze. [0] https://www.rsync.net/products/attic.html

Ok, good to know, thanks. The point still stands that the receiver's client probably doesn't bother styling the message. I mean even if GMail, say, was persuaded to do it, Outlook for instance wouldn't.

That would be nice if it was standard for clients to display text/markdown rendered as styled text. This would require an actual standard for the markdown syntax though. Without the rendering, markdown is just text/plain. Are ther

That would mean two stages of password query, which I think might be a con. Also, the file names would either not be encrypted in the git repo or not be compatible with e.g. Android app I guess. Thanks for the autofs hint, will try it and s

For this reason I'm thinking of switching from gpg to encfs. It has an option for auto-unmounting after a period of unactivity. It would also play well with programs that need to read password from a file. Has anyone else here had the

I guess the next OS revision you mention would be "Dano", which according to the Wikipedia article[0] was leaked on the day the company closed down. In that case, there should be quite a number of screenshots floating around, such

The very first web browser had editing built in. That's why HTTP has the concept of verbs in the first place! Otherwise GET would probably be implicit. Forms and POST came later, but PUT and DELETE was part of the original idea behind

Yes, for X11 the client/server roles are backwards so I shouldn't have included it in the list. I want to use my TV as a VNC/RDP client, and either buy a wireless keyboard for it, or just let it act as a passive display.

This. Shouldn't there be an app for my SmartTV to let it connect to a VNC/X11/RDP server?

Knowing what it's like to write an HTML rendering engine in Rust is especially useful since the purpose of this language in the first place is to write the next generation Mozilla engine.

This reminds me of Bedrock Linux, which allows you to run multiple linux distros on a single kernel instance. It does so using good old chroot, but has an implementation that is capable of breaking out of the chroot when entering a new one.
