| 2024-04-28 23:04:04 +0200 | <mauke> | what is the size of https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/? |
| 2024-04-28 23:03:00 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | check /r/datahoarders |
| 2024-04-28 23:02:51 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <zwro> i wonder if i could download the whole 1996 web |
| 2024-04-28 23:02:48 +0200 | <monochrom> | I think yes but I forgot where to find it. |
| 2024-04-28 23:02:27 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <zwro> *estimated |
| 2024-04-28 23:02:20 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <zwro> is there data on the estimates size of the www per year? |

| 2024-04-28 23:00:55 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | mauke: oops, you can see how often I've written perl |
| 2024-04-28 23:00:26 +0200 | <monochrom> | No more terrible than for (i = 0; i < FD_MAX; i++) { close(i); } >:) |
| 2024-04-28 23:00:25 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <zwro> duplicate files |
| 2024-04-28 23:00:20 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <zwro> i wonder how much we could compress the wevlb just by removing duplicates |

| 2024-04-28 22:58:22 +0200 | <geekosaur> | the one I had access to kept two prior versions |
| 2024-04-28 22:58:07 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I know it was on TOPS-20 |
| 2024-04-28 22:58:00 +0200 | <geekosaur> | hm, pretty sure that was configurable per filesystem |

| 2024-04-28 22:55:29 +0200 | <monochrom> | (in general filename;versionnumber ) |
| 2024-04-28 22:55:24 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | that's why VAX lost |
| 2024-04-28 22:54:56 +0200 | <monochrom> | You literally could not use the excuse "I accidentally deleted my homework" because it was still literally available as "foo.c;12". |

| 2024-04-28 22:53:33 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | it's not like disks were as roomy back then as they are nowadays |
| 2024-04-28 22:53:29 +0200 | <monochrom> | Only economists are realistic enough to explain why no one does it any more. |
| 2024-04-28 22:53:18 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | _all_? |

| 2024-04-28 22:52:56 +0200 | <monochrom> | Such a thing almost existed. VAX VMS kept all old versions of your files. |
| 2024-04-28 22:52:30 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <zwro> yeah... |
| 2024-04-28 22:51:31 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | somehow I doubt that last part |

| 2024-04-28 22:50:53 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <zwro> good |
| 2024-04-28 22:50:39 +0200 | <monochrom> | No, even that doesn't cut it. I am talking about a file system that is also a version system. |

| 2024-04-28 22:49:46 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <zwro> we need nix:// |

| 2024-04-28 22:49:11 +0200 | <monochrom> | Even you probably don't take a snapshot of your own hard disks every time just before you install or uninstall software. |
