@npub108z…dkr5 It has a garbled prefix on SPW, although it's not entirely random. The random section is followed by a period and "graf". On My (here), there's no garbled prefix. But Mu is a little out of date.

Gmail marks Google corporate updates as spam. Good job!
In this case it was an update from Maps, to inform that drafts for user reviews will no longer be supported.

I have received a notification a minute ago that the FreeBSD team decided to resolve an issue that I reported 22 years ago. They even used my (trivial) patch. I completely forgot about that. I guess I'm a FreeBSD developer now (w).

There's something I don't understand about this: surely J. must follow more than just me, right? How does he do it? He can't reasonably visit dozens of pages every day. Do we finally support an RSS of some sort in Pleroma?

> What if it grows to 6,000,000,000 users overnight?
That reminds me about a presentation by one interesting guy, Michael Verhulst, at a local meetup. He is a scalability expert and he runs a start-up that rescues other start-ups. Whenever they grow to 6e9 overnight and hit scalability issues, he solves them. The title of his presentation was:
"Nobody Is Google, Not Even Google"
His thesis was that people think they are (or may become) Google. But they are not. Their scalability issues are always far short from the planetary scale.

@npub1scj…el3p @npub15fk…j9gr @npub10fa…qg2x A Comcast dude said a few years ago that they had more than 16 million routers, so they literally could not use the private IPv4 anymore for the internal network. Facebook runs all internal equipment on IPv6 only too, and pretty much for the same reason.

@npub1nv0…skkw I see you're not coping well with your skills getting obsolete.

I am switching from screen to tmux, forced by certain Fedora and RHEL releases that do not have screen anymore.

Photos of Sun StorEdge A5000 array aka "Photon", taken with Barbie Camera at 160x120 native resolution.
1. The air baffles that I made out of cereal boxes.
2. Display[2].
3. Rear side, same as front, and controller boards.
