  3.  Seeking commercial Linux support?

  I offer to install bigger Linux server machines and then keep an eye
  on them and upgrade them via ISDN. Ask me, if you have special
  questions about Linux or would like to have an adapted version of my
  Linux distribution for you. I'd also start interesting programming
  tasks.

  You are not allowed to send those things via email to me, as my
  account is from my university. Please use snail-mail instead. (Yes, I
  also have telephone, but I won't…

Maybe we should establish a "maintenance.md" practice just like "readme.md" or "LICENSE" where you just clearly outline the amount of maintenance the project/development team are planning to put into the code base and under which conditions.
I have seen that a few times but maybe it should be more of a standard.

After what can only be considered mean to the hardware, the Sisyphus encoding client version 1.6.3 is released with full support for Av1an. While I won't guarantee it won't eat your pets, I can say that I've encoded enough using the Av1an module that I'm confident you'll at least get some nice videos in return.
The documentation has also been updated as well on the main site along with the README.md with some better directions on getting it up and running.

I read a README file I wrote a few weeks ago and decided it didn't have enough information, so it's now twice as long with a lot more detail.
I'm the only one who will ever read or use the file, but I have learned I cannot rely on my own memory a few months or years from now when I need to revisit the project or do something similar.
Make notes! Make more notes. It's a text file, it won't take up much space but it might save you a bunch of time in the future.

If you’ve never been into exercise or considered yourself “a gym person,” the idea of starting exercise in midlife can feel daunting, or even futile.
But here’s the good news:
from a scientific standpoint, your 40s may be one of the most powerful times to get started.
When it comes to bone, muscle, metabolism, heart health and even brain function, it is never too late to start exercising.
In fact, your body is remarkably responsive to change at this stage of life, and y…

Like global search and replace but don’t like surprises?
Check out serpl – a handy little command-line app that gives you a visual preview of the changes you are about to make. You can even go in and remove the replacements you don’t want from the source previews. The regex support appears to be basic, however (I couldn’t get a negative lookbehind to work).

Screenshot of me serpl with Search, Replace, Result List and Preview panes in a command-line interface. Search has /setup and [Match Case] mode selected, Replace has /settings with [Simple] mode selected. The Results List shows about 20 items and the selected file is shown in the preview pane with three replacements in diff-style red/green highlighting on lines 27, 28, and 35.

#ReleaseThursday #OpenSourceXmas A little present (to some of you)... Been meaning to release these recent additions before the holidays, but only getting around to it now. The most important new things are these:

Screenshot of a section of the thi.ng/units package readme giving an overview of the new formula DSL provided. The included code examples show how to:

- compute weight in grams of A4 paper with 320 grams per square meter
- compute weight in kg of 1/2 inch thick 200x300mm glass plate
- same as previous but using the `glass` density preset
