IBM's ancient #training #film resurfaces like a relic from the digital Stone Age, desperately trying to keep its secrets away from the prying eyes of the 21st century 😂🔒. An archaeological masterpiece for those nostalgic about punch cards and #mainframes 📼💾.

Somewhere, right now, a developer is sorting 400 COBOL cards off a computer room floor after a late night of keying. Nobody wants to look at it. Nobody cares.
But we do.
Announcing code review for Punch Cards, powered by Review Board.

Hilarious sentence from Josh Tyrangiel in an essay for the March Atlantic:
“Mainframes are like Christopher Walken: They’ve been going nonstop since the 1960s, they’re fantastic at performing peculiar roles (processing payment payments, safeguarding data), and nobody alive really understands how they work.”

@don_atoms And, in our opinion, the most important radical act of our era is giving a top-tiier Open Source #COBOL compiler (#GCC COBOL) to those who need help with the hundreds of billions of lines of COBOL source trapped on #mainframes. Giving control of the tool to those who need it. #cobolworx

Mainframes in 2024? 🤣 #IBM unleashes Telum II, the eight-core dinosaur with a "unique" caching strategy that supposedly still matters. 🦖 But hey, at least it’s not another IoT gadget trying to microwave your socks. 🧦🔥

I am looking at running things like #ERPLibre + local AI models on this. Sovereign, encrypted workloads in your country. Makes sense ?
"Today, IBM announced the launch of their latest server: the new #IBM LinuxONE Emperor 5. This fifth generation redefines IBM’s LinuxONE system as their most secure and high-performing Linux computing platform for data, applications and trusted AI.
#Canonical supports #LinuxONE Emperor 5 with #Ubuntu Server. "

⚠️ DOGE’s Rushed Plan to Rebuild SSA Systems Will Be a Disaster - FFS 🤦🏻♂️
WIRED reports that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is pushing to rewrite the Social Security Administration’s COBOL-based systems in a matter of months — a job that experts agree should take years.
🧠 What’s at stake:
🔹 SSA supports 65+ million Americans — stability is non-negotiable.
🔹 COBOL runs the core logic for Social Security numbers, payments, and entitlements.
🔹 Even small changes could lead to silent system failures or missed benefits.
🔹 DOGE’s team — reportedly made up of young, inexperienced hires — lacks the skill to read COBOL or grasp mainframe architecture.
🔹 Without understanding the legacy code, there’s no safe path to rewriting it.This is not just a tech migration — it’s a potential house-of-cards collapse. Critical national infrastructure cannot be rewritten with duct tape and hubris. 🧯
