So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punch cards.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

Just found this...

Does anyone remember these ? :)

I'd be interested in a drive if anyone can spare one. (I realise they are incredibly rare)

It's #FreeSoftwareFriday, so let's explore how you can can get all your day-to-day computing done with free software. Check out this presentation from #LibrePlanet2021 https://framatube.org/w/bfkLKcW6EKMZt8Zpkb75Fr #LibrePlanet #FreeSoftware #SoftwareLibre #Education #Computers

…You might already know about this, but https://h-node.org is a project by the @fsf that helps people to identify #computers that they can use.

It can be pretty tricky to find #hardware that is #ethical but by running a basic command and checking the peripherals listed by their Vendor and Product IDs (that look like "[3fc2:001b]") one can often quickly identify if a device will be suited to them, as #FreedomSoftware Enjoyers.

:boost_requested:

The Constitutional Court of the Federal Republic of #Germany has ruled back in 2008 that the #integrity and #confidentiality of (our personal) #computers is indeed a constitutionally guaranteed right.

The ruling seems to emphasize limits on acute or punctual infiltration rather than stopping the systemic weakening of the infrastructure by laws that demand #backdoors, access and #coercion of administrators;

But AFAIK, it still lends support to the goal to #ProtectTheStack at all levels.
