Nicely done. Curious which VM host you used on the Mac?

I'm using UTM (https://mac.getutm.app/), mostly because it seemed like the easiest thing to set up.

FreeBSD has published a youtube video along with a blog post to run FreeBSD VM on Apple Silicon.

This was the motivation to swap out my old, reliable Synology for a new Ugreen setup. Pretty happy so far.

Offspring's Tuition, as I don't want them to have the screwed up college debt that the US provides...

I am surprised to admit that I have watched zero dark thirty at least 5-6 times. Actually not sure why. It is good, but good enough for beyond two views?

Pretty good run for an adult life-long heavy smoker.

I forgot which interview that was, but Jim mentioned that some folks are genetically less affected by smoking - and the he did such a test and he seems not to be affected by it and that this was the reason why he didn't stop.

Delphi 7, that was a lovely vintage...

Delphi 7 was / is fantastic. Soon after that, they went .NET and the wheels came off.

Historically a great tool along with Delphi, with poor subsequent management/ownership since the very early 2000's.

NY Times. I gave them money for a subscription. I'm fine with that. What I found to be just enough of a deal breaker is the ads remain as a subscriber.

Of course the ads remain, they are for their subscribers. Non subscribers don't even see the article let alone the ads.

...let alone the trackers.

Anyway, thanks for being a $upporter.
