How big is VMS?
This question was asked during my Boot Camp presentation last fall in Boston, and over the past 35 years dozens of times people have asked, how big is VMS? That translates into “how many lines of code are in VMS”? I thought it was time to at least make a stab at pursuing some insight into the answer. I wrote some command procedures to count the number of source lines in .B32, .B64, .C, .MAR, .M64, and .S files. Not counted are blank lines and lines beginning with the standard comment characters and m … ⌘ Read more

Run LLMs Locally with Docker: A Quickstart Guide to Model Runner
AI is quickly becoming a core part of modern applications, but running large language models (LLMs) locally can still be a pain.

At the same time, more and more developers want the flexibility […] ⌘ Read more

10 Genius German Words with No English Equivalent
The German language has a knack for packing complex ideas into a single word or brief phrase. From time to time, those phrases work their way into the English language.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Aww, this reminds me that I haven’t done any Fraktur/calligraphy in a hell of a long time. I should pick that up again. It’s always nice to see this on old buildings.

** Late March Snow **
The forecast predicted snow, but even with that knowledge I held out hope that it wouldn’t. The shade over the window in the bedroom doesn’t close all the way. It always stops short of totally covering the window with about an inch further to go. It is too short. When I woke up this morning there was a flat grey line of light streaming into the room through the gap left by the too short shade. So, I spent some time shoveling this morning. Probably sooner than I ought to have since it’s still coming down. It’s 80ish de … ⌘ Read more

Mathieu Pasquet: Poezio 0.15 / 0.15.1
About three years since the last version, poezio 0.15 (and 0.15.1 to address
a small packaging mishap, version numbers are cheap) was released yesterday!

Poezio is a terminal-based XMPP client which aims to replicate the
feeling of terminal-based IRC clients such as irssi or weechat; to
this end, poezio originally only supported multi-user chats.

Erlang Solutions: My Journey from Ruby to Elixir: Lessons from a Developer

For years, Ruby was my go-to language for building everything from small prototypes to full-fledged production apps.

The community—with its focus on kindness and collaboration—only deepened my appreciation. In short, Ruby felt like home.

if it hasn’t updated in a while so i put the request rate to once a week it will take some time before i see an update if it happens today.

The Mastodon admins say that it’s probably because of the size of my account (~600 MB), so the export process times out. And I understand that. Here on twtxt, I always use auto-expiring links when I post images or videos. It just gets too much data otherwise. I think I’ll just set my Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after ~180 days or something like that. Nobody cares about old posts anyway.
