Last year, I moved my small WordPress blog (~100 posts) to Hugo, and tested a couple of these - I can't remember if I tried Wp2hugo, but ended up using wordpress-export-to-markdown ( https://github.com/lonekorean/wordpress-export-to-markdown ).

I probably could have tweaked it for my own purposes, but with only 100 posts, I just reviewed every one. It probably took me a few evenings to get everything looking right following the conversion.


I've used BackInTime since 2010. I loved that, even without using the tool, you could just poke through the file structure, and get an old version of any backed up file.


I used WordPerfect for the Amiga. I was in high school, so I didn't use any features beyond what you'd need for an essay or report - it seemed equivalent to the equivalent DOS version (4.x) from this perspective.

One of the challenges I had was printing french accented characters on a LaserJet+ clone - an issue I never resolved, and didn't encounter in the DOS version on my parent's PC.


It's truly a darn shame that the piracy situation was so rampant on both the ST and Amiga platforms. It's pretty much the main reason why WordPerfect (and a variety of other software) was pulled from the market, in favor of the PC and Mac markets.


Supporting... I remember this Freakonomics interview with Ballmer about his statements about the iPhone: "There’s two things: What would I have said differently and what would I have thought differently? They’re actually quite different."

Is anyone aware of an editor in Linux that has this behaviour?


Geany. Not sure if by default or of it needs to be turned on in the settings. And Geany can be anything from a simple text editor to a very nice IDE.


Modern gedit on gnome has it


Which version? Or what enables it?

Version 41 (the one bundled w/Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) does have this behaviour from Notepad++


For creating games/entertainment/radio drama, allows 1 person to voice act multiple roles


With Windows 10, I have unplugged the primary storage from an old laptop, and plugged it into a new one, without issue.

The system booted, no license issues.


Likely because on a laptop there's usually a Windows license embedded in an ACPI table. As long as you weren't moving a Pro edition installation to a machine that only had a key for Home edition, it would silently handle any re-activation necessary.


This one got me too - check out: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/5907

Running REINDEX TABLE USERS; on the DB solved the issue for me.

Immich is definitely fast moving - it is awesome, but has been a challenge to keep it current.


Cliff Stoll, the author of this piece, is best known for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_(book)

"a first-person account of the hunt for a computer hacker who broke into a computer at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)."

1989 - it started with trying to find the root cause of a 75 cent billing error on their shared computer system.

I highly recommend the book - I read it as a teen, and re-read it a couple years ago, it held up.


I thought he was best known for having a massive amount of Klein bottles in the crawl space of his house, and using a little robot car to manage that inventory.


He had to pay for that house in Oakland somehow


And the seismic retrofits aren’t cheap!


There is an entertaining nova episode on it too: https://youtu.be/PGv5BqNL164?si=XiELEABPvdfELy_I



I have used kdenlive for a dozen videos over the last 5 years - my use case, taking 15 minutes of footage down to 2-3 minutes, syncing video with voice over, building product demos, tutorials. It has been solid, on Windows and Linux.

When my youngest was 10, she worked with OpenShot and Kdenlive, and settled on Kdenlive on Windows - probably edited 20 videos of hours of Roblox footage down to 2-3 minute videos, syncing characters activity with music, voice over, etc... It was pretty cool - it worked well for her.
