@nixCraft probably about 13/13 when I got a ZX Spectrum and played with Sinclair BASIC.

@nixCraft really struck me how much this tragic case resembles the Halt and Catch Fire “you are not safe” storyline.

@nixCraft SunOS 4.1.4

@nixCraft Carpentry - less ageism.

@nixCraft I was watching a daft reel on FB about medieval England (allegedly) and it looked to be all AI animation, including a pig with a head on each end. We can laugh but some wee kid could watch that and think that maybe there were 2 headed pigs in 1200s England, just information polluting bollocks.

@nixCraft containers in my experience means alpine

@nixCraft with Trumpet inbound there’s no way they’ll break it up, unless they do something to really annoy him of course.

@nixCraft was claimed on latest Infinite Monkey Cage episode that 1/2 of North Korean GDP comes from cyber crime which is wild.

@arstechnica Every big tech corporation after their one single successful product: Throw more shit at the wall, some of it will stick eventually.

@nixCraft think @Garwboy may beg to differ on that link.

@nixCraft I think he overestimated his own value big style. A one success hack as so many tech bros are.

@nixCraft i think this may have been easier for me as I grew up with the ZX Spectrum cursor keys row :) 5678 instead of hjkl

@nixCraft also, like backups that are never tested for recovery, a DR plan that never gets tested is not much better than not having any plan.

@nixCraft lol, my first computer, cassette tapes :)

@nixCraft devs now are all fuelled by protein shakes, keto diets and the odd cognitive enhancing drug I would say :)

@nixCraft uname -n before issuing any shutdown is a good habit IMHO.

@nixCraft if you’re a morning person, no, and vice versa. Another argument in favour of remote and asynchronous woke for tech folks where it is appropriate, that is most folks.

@nixCraft I’m impatient for this whole bubble to go the way of crypto. Bring on the congressional hearings and court cases and restore some sanity to this insane end stage capitalism grasping hype bubble.
