  1. @rl_dane doesn't work correctly with [USB] floppy drives (understandably), so I had to script my own tar/zip -based "filesystem".
    The scripts essentially use the floppies as a tape archive (via tar), and store a .zip in the archive. I needed to have the zip layer, since 's attributes wouldn't store in via tar, but would via zip.

  2. @lexknowssystems @randomgeek Using #BeMail and tagging MP3s right in the desktop Tracker because of BFS’ (now #BeFS) extended attributes was the shit. I wish #Apple would enable the same thing with #macOS' #Finder in addition to #Spotlight.

    (#HoudahSpot is sometimes a good alternative for files but no longer works for Mail as Apple deprecated Mail Plug-Ins with #Monterey in 2021 and killed them in 2023's #Sonoma in favor of Mail App Extensions: mjtsai.com/blog/2023/06/14/rip)
