Haiku package management
I’ve long since been a die-hard BeOS fan and have been running the open-source recreation Haiku for many years.

Reviving decade-old Macs with antiX and MX Linux (2022)
I was visiting family this past weekend and saw an iMac from 2007 and MacBook from 2008 destined for the trash. As the tech nerd of the family, I was asked if these machines were still useful at all. I also had a 2012 Macbook Air no one was using,...

Curl 8.0.1
Right. I said in the 8.0.0 blog post that it might be a good release. It was. Apart form the little bug that caused it to crash in several test cases. So now we shipped curl 8.0.1, which is almost identical apart from a single commit that was reverted. Exactly why this was not discovered … Continue reading curl 8.0.1…

Removing official support for Red Hat enterprise Linux
For all of my open source projects, effective immediately, I am no longer going to maintain 'official' support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I will still support users of CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, and Alma Linux, as I am able to test against those targets. Support will be 'best effort', and if you mention you are…

I like gentoo's package deprecation process
