Mistodon: this #ANSIart screen by AdeptApril is the first file to appear, alphabetically, in the new books-themed MIST0426 artpack, so it is also the first individual work from that collection that we will profile. On request from Zeromous, it is an adaptation of the front cover to #CliffordStoll's 1989 hacker bestseller #TheCuckoosEgg .

@slashdot
I love this guy in his Numberphile YouTube videos. So full of energy and enthusiasm for teaching, despite his advanced age. Took me a long time to realize that he was the same guy who wrote The Cuckoo's Egg.

The #CuckoosEgg is one of my favorite #books ever. It's the real story of how an astronomer turned #sysadmin starts investigating a 75¢ billing discrepancy and ends up uncovering a KGB #hacker in the late 80's.

I knew there was a docu-style movie starring the real admin #CliffordStoll. But I had never watched it. Until today! And it's every bit as fun and nostalgic to watch as I'd hoped!

TIL Das Internet Archive hat auch Filme. 🤗 Natürlich auch den ersten Hacker-Dokumentarfilm: „The Computer, the KGB and Me“ mit Cliff Stoll über die Jagd auf die KGB-Hacker.
Gut zum Zeigen im Unterricht und wenn jemand das Buch „The Cuukoo‘s Egg“ nicht lesen möchte.

Darauf hatte schon 1995 #CliffordStoll in seinem großartigen "Silicon Snake Oil" (deutscher Titel: "Die Wüste Internet") hingewiesen: Dass unsere Zeit (= jüngere Vergangenheit und Gegenwart) zu den am schlechtesten dokumentierten Epochen gehören wird. Weil wir unsere Kultur in inkompatiblen Maschinen und Datenformaten archivieren, die schon ein paar Jahrzehnte später niemand mehr lesen kann.

Yes !
Pour commencer les must read de Sabrina Calvo :p
