Some ad network has served me some ads for a website that sells Space Age/Atomic themed bowling shirts and button downs.

They're expensive, and a cursory google indicates that they're a drop shipping operation, reselling low quality sweatshop clothing.

I don't want low quality sweatshop clothing resold at a premium by a dropshipper, but I would wear the hell out of these clothes.

Any suggestions as to a reputable place to find goofy atomic age looking shit like this?

Recent changes in pkgsrc broke many packages 😭.

I took it upon myself to fix the mess, and ended up falling down a rabbit hole of ncurses support, with cruft going back 25 years.

I've proposed a bunch of fixes, including merging the ncurses and ncursesw packages, as well as making the ncursesw API the default (similar to what FreeBSD and others have done).

Interested to hear of potential issues, especially with older software. Will be testing it thoroughly!

Presumably because the Philly cops got really chewed out when they tear-gassed trapped BLM protestors for no reason

Very cool stuff, Assho… I mean Speaker Johnson is calling for the National Guard to “bring order” to campuses.

All because of peaceful protests of students (including many Jewish students) for not bombing babies.

#NOLA #NewOrleans #signs #Gators #Alligators

Interior of a supermarket. Shelf with local spices and cooking supplies has large chalkboard sign. Text: "Shop ROUSES For Your CAJUN Cooking Needs". Multicolor chalk cartoon of an alligator stirring a large cooking pot. A colorful parasol is above the gator's head; the gator smiles broadly with rows of sharp teeth. Text on the cooking pot: "Laissez les Bon Temps Roulez!" (Louisiana French for "Let the Good Times Roll".)
Bayou body of water with grassy banks, houses seen in background on far shore. In center is a square metal sign, black text and artwork on bright yellow. Text: "ALLIGATORS IN THE XIUHMOPOILLI". The text surrounds round artwork, copied from the center of the famous Aztec Sun Stone, depicting a stylized human face with tongue sticking out surrounded with Aztec glyphs in the form of reptile heads and an outer circle with points sticking out, a mythological depiction of the Sun. The pole holding up the sign has been decorated with ceramic artwork, at top and bottom of pole simple round discs, between them a ceramic depiction of a small alligator.
Display in small garden space, wooden fence in background, green shrubs in soil bed. Halloween plastic skeletons lie at left, one human form the other alligator. Sign in form of fake tombstone drawings of a pair of alligators at top with a fleur-de-lis in the center. Below is text: "RIP DUMPSTER GATOR 2021". At bottom is artwork depicting the tip of the tail of an alligator sticking up from the ground. Note: Reference is to a large dead alligator seen sticking out of a dumpster in an urban section of New Orleans after Hurricane Ida in 2021, with no one seeming to know how it got there.

"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

This is a photo of the back cover of the "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource CD-ROM" case. The cover lists the contents of the 6-CD set, including distributions like Red Hat 3.0.3 "Picasso", Slackware 3.1, Debian GNU/Linux 1.1.4, and others, with various kernel sources up to version 2.0.12+. It mentions the inclusion of a "QuickStart" installation guide and additional software like X-Free86 Version 3.1.2, with references to online resources. There's also information about the included on-line documentation like "Installation & Getting Started Guide" by Matt Welsh and "Network Administrators Guide", as well as file format details. Contact information for InfoMagic, including telephone, fax, email, and web address, is listed, along with the company's address in Flagstaff, AZ. A barcode is present on the bottom right. The text indicates the product is from 1996, providing a glimpse into the distribution of Linux software in the mid-1990s.
