  • One thing I like about SVN that, at least in the past, was not easy with Git is checking out sub directories.

    One thing I do is check out svn+ssh://svn/home/svn/configs/server/etc and copy the .svn file over to /etc so that I can check in changes from the actual directory on my servers at home. I never found a good way to do that on Git. But, admittedly, I haven’t looked in a couple years.











  • Me too! You know what, too? Last year I decided to rewatch all 9 movies again. I can’t remember if I did release order or timeline order. But I watched all nine ending with what I had been dreading: the sequel trilogy. And you know what, I enjoyed all nine. I did not like The Last Jedi when I first saw it. And hated The Rise of Skywalker. But on rewatch, they were good. I thoroughly enjoyed them. In fact, I even enjoyed The Phantom Menace and The Attack of the Clones this time too.

    After finishing the movies, I was happy. I think the biggest problem most people have with movie “universes” these days is that if the movie goes in a drastically different direction than the watch expected, they get angry. But when I rewatched, I tried to go in with an open mind. And was pleasantly surprised.

    I also enjoyed Kenobi, The Mandolorian, Andor, and even Boba Fett. I especially liked Ahsoka (Thrawn, baby!).

    I just finished reading all of The High Republic novels through the end of 2023. I’ve really enjoyed those too. It’s great to get back to the Star Wars Universe.


  • In 1993, a guy I knew had a Linux server running in his dorm room. I think it was a 0.9x kernel. He dialed into the University network and I was able to telnet in through my own dial up connection to the University. He was running Slackware.

    Within a couple months, I downloaded all 30+ 1.44 diskette images and built my own Slackware server. In that time I used Slackware and Red Hat (which then became Fedora before RHEL became a thing). Now I’ve pretty much settled on Debian for servers and Arch for desktop/laptop systems.
