Way back in April of this year, I linked to a question and answer about why some parts of the Windows 98 installer looked older than the other parts. It turns out that in between the MS-DOS (the blue part) and Windows 98 parts of the installation process, the installer boots into a small version of Windows 3.1. Raymond Chen posted an article detailing this process for Windows 95, and why, exactly, Microsoft had to resort to splitting the installer between MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95. The answer is, as always, backwards compatibility. Since Windows 95 could be installed from MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 (to fix an existing installation), the installer needed to be able to work on all three. The easiest solution would be to write the installer as an MS-DOS program, since that works on all three of these starting points, but that would mean an ugly installer, even though Windows 95 was supposed to be most people’s first experience with a graphical user interface. This is why Microsoft ended up with the tiered installation process – to support all possible starting points in the most graphical way possible. Chen also mentions another fun fact that is somewhat related to this: the first version of Excel for Windows was shipped with a version of the Windows 2.1 runtime, so that even people without Windows could still run Excel. Even back then, Microsoft took backwards compatibility seriously, and made sure people who hadn’t upgraded from MS-DOS to Windows 2.x yet – meaning, everyone – could still enjoy the spreadsheet lifestyle. I say we pass some EU law forcing Microsoft to bring this back. The next version of Excel should contain whatever is needed to run it on MS-DOS. Make it happen, Brussels.

The different between $TON projects and $ICE 🧊 projects is that coins spent for boost on $TON projects goes to the Devs’ Team for liquidity. While coin spent for boost on $ICE projects gets burned 🔥

With this $ICE burning mechanism,it has the probability to drive the price of $ICE 🧊 bigger than Ton in the future……

The most interesting part is is that the boosting is not compulsory but It’s recommended you boost it to the level you can afford.

Nayanthara’s recent open letter accusing Dhanush of “vile” behaviour has ignited a high-profile legal battle. The dispute centres around a three-second clip from the 2015 movie ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ used in her Netflix documentary ‘Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale’. Amid this, Dhanush’s legal team has issued a stern warning, demanding the removal of the allegedly infringing content within 24 hours. Failure to comply could result in an INR 10 crore lawsuit against both Nayanthara and Netflix India. Watch video.

DDEV is an Open Source development environment that makes it easy to setup Drupal on your computer. It handles all the complex configuration by providing pre-configured Docker containers for your web server, database, and other services.

On macOS, you can install DDEV using Homebrew:

[code bash]$ brew install ddev[/code]

Next, clone the Drupal CMS Git repository:

[code bash]$ git clone https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal_cms.git[/code]

This command fetches the latest version of Drupal CMS from the official repository and saves it in the drupal_cms directory.

Next, configure DDEV for your Drupal project:

[code bash]$ cd drupal_cms
$ ddev config –docroot=web –project-type=drupal[/code]

The --docroot=web parameter tells DDEV where your Drupal files will live, while --project-type=drupal ensures DDEV understands the project type.

Next, let’s start our engines:

[code bash]$ ddev start[/code]

The first time you start DDEV, it will setup Docker containers for the web server and database. It will also use Composer to download the necessary Drupal files and dependencies.

The final step is configuring Drupal itself. This includes things like setting your site name, database credentials, etc. You can do this in one of two ways:

The final step is configuring Drupal itself. This includes things like your site name, database configuration, etc. You can do this in one of two ways:

• Option 1: Configure Drupal via the command line
  [code bash]$ ddev drush site:install[/code]

  This method is the easiest and the fastest, as things like the database credentials are automatically setup. The downside is that, at the time of this writing, you can’t choose which Recipes to enable during installation.

• Option 2: Configure Drupal via the web installer

  You can also use the web-based installer to configure Drupal, which allows you to enable individual Recipes. You’ll need your site’s URL and database credentials. Run this command to get both:

  [code bash]$ ddev describe[/code]

  Navigate to your site and step through the installer.

Once everything is installed and configured, you can access your new Drupal CMS site. You can simply use:

[code bash]$ ddev launch[/code]

This command opens your site’s homepage in your default browser — no need to remember the specific URL that DDEV created for your local development site.

To build or manage a Drupal site, you’ll need to log in. By default, Drupal creates a main administrator account. It’s a good idea to update the username and password for this account. To do so, run the following command:

[code bash]$ ddev drush uli[/code]

This command generates a one-time login link that takes you directly to the Drupal page where you can update your Drupal account’s username and password.

That’s it! Happy Drupal-ing!

Add a Copy to Clipboard feature to your Rails app with Stimulus. Step-by-step guide for integrating modern JavaScript sprinkles with Rails https://danielabaron.me/blog/stimulus-copy-to-clipboard/

The third BETA build for the FreeBSD 14.2 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le, powerpcspe, armv7, aarch64, and riscv64 architectures are FreeBSD mirror sites.

Another excellent guide from friend of the website Stefano Marinelli. A client of mine has several Windows Server VMs, which I had not migrated to FreeBSD/bhyve until a few weeks ago. These VMs were originally installed with the traditional BIOS boot mode, not UEFI, on Proxmox. Fortunately, their virtual disks are on ZFS, which allowed me to test and achieve the final result in just a few steps. This is because Windows VMs (server or otherwise) often installed on KVM (Proxmox, etc.), especially older ones, are non-UEFI, using the traditional BIOS boot mode. bhyve doesn’t support this setup, but Windows allows changing the boot mode, and I could perform the migration directly on the target FreeBSD server. ↫ Stefano Marinelli I link to guides like these because finding such detailed guides born out of experience, written by actual humans with actual experience – instead of bots on content farms – is remarkably hard. There’s more than enough similar content like this out there covering Windows or popular Linux distributions like Red Hat, but the BSDs tend to fall a bit short here. As such, promoting people writing such content is something I’ll happily do. Marinelli also happens to host the Matrix server (as part of his BSD Cafe effort) that houses the OSNews Matrix room, accessible by becoming an OSNews Patreon.
