James Young<p>I'm archiving something and I'll need to do it in stages because of space. Like, an interactive "split", "[do next chunk], or do *n* chunks", tap the Enter key to move forward... </p><p>Is there something battle-tested for this, or is lashing together a bespoke script the norm? </p><p>(I asked Github Copilot for software pointers, and it really wants to write a script. I can think of features like checksums and gracefully handling running out of space, and I expect that someone else, who's given it more than a few minutes of thought, has covered those niceties and more already) </p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sysadmin</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/LazyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LazyWeb</span></a></p>

Charles ☭ says trans rights<p>In November 1703, Rabbi Nieto gave a sermon at Bevis Marks synagogue in London that lead to accusations of heresy. I would like to read an English translation of this, but I am having trouble finding one. Does anyone know where this might be published(online or in some sort of publication that might be held by the British Library).</p><p><a href="https://lgbt.io/tags/lazyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lazyWeb</span></a></p>

Sara Golemon<p>Dear <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lazyweb</span></a>; Does anyone remember when <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/php" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>php</span></a> added the mysql:localhost == mysql:/tmp/mysql.sock "optimization"? I know it's freaking ANCIENT, but I can't quite be bothered to track it down.</p><p>Also, was this because MySQL used to do it and PHP wanted to preserve that for BC reasons after MySQL removed the "helpful" behavior?</p>
