Remember the good old days when Ethernet MAC addresses were labeled in the outside of the device?

@bortzmeyer mais on a tous sûrement deja vu des adresses IP dans la partie droite d'un MX, n'est-ce pas?

Twenty years ago I used to be quite proficient in reading mail headers to find out from whom and to which and whence, but when I look at the forest of X-whatnot, ARC-stuff, DMARC-blurbs and Y-whatnot in most mails today, I feel a bit faint.

And yet again #tolino requires I login to my account. Entering a long password is an exercise in patience.

Who creates shit software like this?!!! WTF can’t the device remember my credentials?!!

Voyager 1 and 2 were launched in 1977, and as from May 2024 they should be roughly 24 billion kms from Earth (give or take a few metres).

There are three different computer types on the Voyager spacecraft. Total number of words among the six computers is about 32K.

Think about this. Still flying. Since 1977.

Now go watch a bunch of smart people get audio and video going at a conference. 😂

If you’re wondering why I’m beginning more and more toots with “if true” it’s because I’m having an increasingly difficult time believing all the shit.

Try doing that with chats and Slacks and social media!

"Attacking the press as fake news and the enemy of the state? Check. Delegitimizing the judiciary, the last constitutional brake when the legislature is co-opted and feckless? Check. Expanding influence over the economy by threatening businesses and using tariffs to introduce a crisis and a spoils system? Check. Creating a culture of fear by persecuting unpopular individuals and groups? Been there, done all of that." -- Garry Kasparov

Email has become too complicated for my dement mother. Also just reading a message doesn't work.

Is there such a thing as a cigarette-sized box, maybe with ePaper and SMS reception, no buttons no nothing, onto which we could send a short text "your gym session begins in 20 minutes" or something along those lines?

(Please don't say 'smartphone', you've no idea, and don't say Arduino and do it yourself.)

“We rolled out an invalid SSHd config which means that every user is locked out of SSH. Since that includes us, we now have to fix the config manually while the hosts are powered off. This will unfortunately take a while.”

Hugops. Automation can suck. ;) #sudo #cake

@nlnetlabs you will be hearing from my lawyers, as my stuff is NXDOMAIN in your book: I have checked all 3,119 pages.

in an email stands for "best regards", right? Right?!

"Starship is an embarrassment, not just for SpaceX, but for the US. It’s not a revolution; it is a nightmare of twisted monopolistic privatisation and the idiotic inefficiency that comes alongside that. It’s pathetic and dangerous, and we can do so much better."
