@ai6yr @cvvhrn I've always wondered when does something transition from "rubbish dump" to "midden" in archaeology. 🙂

(seriously, middens and pits can tell us a huge amount about how people lived in the past, especially now we've got lipid analysis and other tools to tell us what was being cooked in pots we might find - intact or in pieces)

@glent @mattblaze @SteveBellovin @karlauerbach found this brief article on the history of the security of undersea cables (telegraphic onwards) interesting - more on the who and where rather than the outcomes - eg it mentions the UK cutting German telegraph cables on the outbreak of WW1 but not the Zimmerman telegram. https://www.maritimefoundation.uk/publications/maritime-2023/the-security-of-subsea-cables-an-enduring-naval-challenge/

@feditips when you say mobile app does that include Firefox? Or is this Mastodon specific mobile apps?
