@tim looks like the bottom two are an #Sun Ultra II and a #SPARC 5 or maybe a SPARC 20. That second one includes a graphics adapter with a 13W3 connector. The three matching servers look like #Netra X1’s.

So #nbc just aired a story on #whoopingCough and asked why it is becoming more common without providing an answer. Neither the reporters nor anyone they talked to about it thought to mention a vaccine is available and vaccination rates are declining. Of course they also made no mention that it is up from a recent historic low in a time of people being vigilant about spreading respiratory viruses.

Always good to have a backup plan. If new spark plugs don’t fix it you may need to just shoot it instead.

@heidilifeldman maybe this could be used to define “a well regulated militia.”

@heidilifeldman ah, now I understand how this can be fixed without a constitutional amendment.

@Gargron was this recent? I visited Big Basin before the fire a couple years ago and the only pictures I’ve seen since then have been of devastation.

@miah @joelitics @dangoodin @lyda lack of /dev/[u]random on #Solaris was such a pain. When Jonathan Schwartz (?) said that #Sun would treat incompatibility with Linux as a bug, I got that bug filed by a service request and it was implemented not long afterwards.

@mastodonmigration @renchap I would like to be able to donate via benevity to have my donations doubled by my employer. This would also allow donations via payroll deduction for those that have matching programs through benevity.

I’ve asked via staff@mastodon.org without a useful reply. According to benevity, they are awaiting bank information to be able to make deposits.
