Racists defacing bilingual road signs in indigenous languages is annoying. But ultimately I think it serves our cause more than theirs. "Respectable" white folks may not care about decolonization, but they're passionately against vandalism of public property.

Boss: why is this service using IPv6?
Me: I just wanted to use IPv6 once in my career for a production service. Seems sad people did all that work for nothing.
Boss: 😑
#networking #ipv6 #infrastructure

Developers: remember how you collectively decided that the WWW should be “mobile-first”? Well, do that with IPv6. PLEASE. #ipv6 #networking

Me: Could you please fix this #IPv6 thing?
Vendor: But nobody's using that.
Me: Hi, I'm nobody.

ok, #haikuos all installed. Seriously impressed with how well it runs. WiFi worked perfectly.

Brings back memories of the BeOS demo disk on my Mac 8600.

I wanted to test this #fediverse thing out, so I installed #epicyon on a 20-year old Dell #computer running #Debian, that was ready for recycling, & was able to post, follow, interact with my #mastodon account. Now it's connected to millions of people

Epicyon's a fediverse server suitable for #selfhosting a small number of accounts on low power systems

If interested, more about Epicyon and the #Libserver projects below

Today's the day I listened to the little voice in my head that advised me not to force the Middleton BIOS upgrade on my #thinkpad without a battery. Instead, install #haikuos and enjoy the weekend.

Trying the 32-bit version now for BeOS compatibility.

Is it still true that you need to worry about 4K pagesize alignment on SSDs?

My wife has just invented the word "shituation". Think she might be a genius.

What the #FreeSoftware movement doesn't need is people constantly kicking down at people. There seems to be alot of that recently (again, but it has been going on for 40 years), specially against the @fsf and the #GNU project. Thankfully, both the #GNU project and FSF are resilient against these types of attacks, but it sure causes those of us that work and volunteer our time to sorta get fed up. #SoftwareFreedomOrBust

I think the main advantage of being a Python expert is having a leg up on creating complex solutions to simple problems.

Alright that's enough operating systems. Jk

"computer science is an academic field, and not a professional one."

This part right here.

Managers who don't value care and rigour, only value velocity and box ticking, are a big reason for every failure I've seen.

ah yes, "monkfruit", the plant with the scientific name siraitia grosvenorii, named after its discoverer, Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor, who discovered it for the first time, prior to which nobody had previously discovered it, being cultivated in china by chinese people, who had not, in fact, discovered it

I find this beautiful.
