@pho4cexa Oh man, I feel the same. I've already lived long enough for this, seeing http://www.internethistory.ie/ and the story of the O'Byrne brothers (who I knew, one of them quite well) https://techarchives.irish/how-the-internet-came-to-ireland-1987-97/jonathan-mills/ -- it's like being Rosencrantz and/or Guildenstern to the main characters of Internet history :D

@jordyd has it worked out?

well sorry about that downtime folks. i did not expect a surprise kernel upgrade to break iptables and therefore break docker and to have to upgrade to a new Ubuntu release before I could get everything unfucked.

SEVENTY THREE WEEKS since you rebooted the host
(cocked your head to the side, and said "i'm vulnerable")

we're going to take a small lunchtime EST maintenance window I have decided on a whim ~~

@neauoire @cancel (much later than the (System 7?) version you're running, of course)

@neauoire @cancel I was obsessed with Frontier, bought into the Scripting News hype and thought that these kind of 4GL-but-for-the-web things were the future.

Just built Castor (the gemini/gopher/finger browser) in a Docker container on a remote host because I didn't want to install all the build deps on my tiny Chromebook running Ubuntu Bionic and the darn thing worked first time! <3 @julienxx

Well, while ignoring the news as much as possible and staying indoors I've finally gotten around to designing a Eurorack PSU that I like. One day, some day, it will come from Oregon to Ottawa to be populated.

"In the 21st century, as long as you’re operating within the bounds of the state of the art, programming can feel delightfully Lego-like. All you have to do is rake your fingers through the bin."

This is a lovely sentiment, from https://www.robinsloan.com/notes/home-cooked-app/ -- a counterpoint to the idea that our Gemfiles and package.json's are pointlessly overflowing and people have forgotten how to write `leftpad`

@m455b this looks like the output of `!talklike m455`

Listening to the MIDI soundtrack from Doom on an Roland SC-88VL (similar to the SC-55 it targets). Holy wow. This sounds amazing _now_, it would have been mind-blowing in 1993.

@lucidiot yes

And done!
