@fedops @ParadeGrotesque I hadn't heard about the French gov mandating Linux workstations for all their Ministries, that's great news!

The Dutch, French and German workspace teams were already working together on a Linux OS within the EDIC's 100 day challenges, but I don't think a choice for a distro has been made yet. 🇪🇺

I'm super impressed with how proactive the French are. Good work @numerique_gouv 👏

@fedops According to recent data from organizations like the National Rural Health Association, farmers are approximately 3.5 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population #pto dangers

@fedops it can help soil loss quite a bit but tilling and plowing can be helpful also, farming is an evolving vocation; you have to be rich to do it (1m is just a starting point) #gentleman farmer

@fedops americans are either too lazy or too smart to fall for the 'speed the plow' propaganda, this may explain the resurgence of 'no-till' agriculture #moral erosion #turpitude #factory farms #subsidies

I've got some experience with it, but I'm turned off by their new #BindingArbitration clause.

Scummy corpo's gotta scummy corpo, I guess. :BlobCatAyo:

So basically it had just enough processing power to interpret X11 graphics commands, and just enough VRAM to display it.

Pretty clever compromise for the hardware limitations of the 90s and maybe early naughties.

I remember my aunt had an all-in-one Sun workstation circa 1994 with a monochrome display that booted off of the network, but it had its own CPU and everything. Pretty dang sweet machine. My time hanging out with her there gave me a love for #OpenLook / #OpenWindows that continues unabated today, even though it was in fairness a somewhat clunky GUI. Dang sharp, though.

As I recall, everyone got hard disks for local storage and booting soon after. I'm guessing their network wasn't up to snuff for diskless workstations. ^___^

@fedops @jerry in an ideal world i would be the nutty professor and live to 160. the co2 comes out and forms a dense fog, trapping you in the hot aisle but at least it smells good as you suffocate at the behest of 45 racks of metal and sand and plastic #graffix bongs #pfte

My understanding is that it's a central meme to the #9front community.

Largish, at the top, in italics and all caps, it says, "THE PLAN FELL OFF" on https://9front.org 😄

That's good for you. $EMACS** is very powerful. The wonderful choice we have in the Open Source world makes all tastes toward tools good

For me vim.motif & vim.athena rock. I got hooked on Vim when I need it to work on noisy POTS phone lines using non MNP modems. The ability to switch between input and read mode made that work bearable

** Replace $EMACS with any favorite editor of your choosing

@jerry @fedops @gangrif his/her insurance is much more now due to regs, they are on the hook personally - another factor to consider, hope you enjoy some time off but then return and work even harder for yourself than you did for big blue #work - the great escape #sec #rear window

Oh, definitely a lot of unidirectional pollination from XEROX PARC to the Lisa and Mac teams 😄

(Although it's not the cheap rip-off that some people claim. #BillAtkinson did a heck of a lot of ingenious work to make a GUI useable at 5Mhz.)

Yes, the Mac didn't get arrow keys until the Mac Plus in 1986, in this horrid arrangement:

⬜⬜⬆️
⬅️➡️⬇️

You were expected to click where you wanted the insertion caret to go! XD

The Macintosh SE and II in 1987 brought the Control key, only used for DOS emulation. The option key was mapped to alt for (emulation) software that needed it.

With Mac OS X, they started using the Control key in addition to Command, Option, and Shift for keyboard shortcuts, a very bad idea.

In a meeting today IT's cloud fanboy manager announced that he had found a good way to reduce ballooning costs: move some services back in-house.

You know how hard it is to keep a straight face because the camera is on? 😂

Restarting my efforts to learn CAD. This time with Solvespace which is actually surprisingly accessible considering the first visual impression. Freecad just never really clicked with me.

Following along the excellent tutorials by Paul Luton like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBNAIMiomls

Who wants to bet the outage was caused by the A record for that API endpoint reading "{( value }}" ?

Seems like LG are getting out of the DVD/BD player market. There's nothing official yet (that I'm aware of) but the UBK 80 and 90 models are marked as discontinued on their web site and there's lots of stores selling their demo units as refurbished on ebay.

If you want to get one this might be a good time.

Sony and Panasonic still make players, for now at least. #physicalmedia #ownyourmedia

Oohh look what I found on my desk this morning! Hot off the press, the 3rd edition. 👍

I don't usually get excited about books, but this is to industrial security what "The C Programming Language" is to devs. The definitive guide to the subject. Best read slowly and with copious notes scribbled down.

Just received the periodic groups.io membership verification. I am subscribed to 19 mailing lists. Over the past year there has been traffic on 2 of them, to the tune of maybe 20 mails in total.

Such is the state of federated communication these days... #greybeard #getoffmylawn #protocolsnotplatforms
