why is it that WiFi never works for me on planes, neither on my iPhone nor my iPad? I must have set network something or other on them … i get redirected from, e.g., connect.klm.com to this page.
works for lynn’s iPhone… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it’s DNS, innit?

@npub16xr…qzyf next door to my old high school!

2024-04-03 04:46:19

Autumn 1967.
I’m 14 and spending a Saturday afternoon at the Fifth Estate office on Warren and the Lodge Freeway, turning a crank on a Gestetner, running off antiwar leaflets to pass out at high school. The MC5 is practicing next door, extremely loud.
Later, I’m invited upstairs to join a dozen or so people including John Sinclair and a few members of the band, sitting cross legged in a circle around a lit candle, passing joints.
That was the first time I got high.

When I was a kid, it seemed like society was obsessed with quicksand. I know I was — I was terrified and studied all the texts on What To Do.
I was reminded of it watching an old Italian film — Divorce, Italian Style — this evening, in which one of the characters drowns in quicksand. (In southern Sicily. Where I’m headed in a couple months. So now I’m worried.)
Seems like you never hear about quicksand anymore.

@npub1y0e…mm9n lol memories.
howard, this was CITI's mission! a thing that the u needed did not exist. CITI got industry (Apple, iirc) funding to create it. a bay area startup turned CITI's work into an actual product. the u bought a bunch of them! (i think it was called etherbridge.) CITI developers had fun, got paid. who loses here?

@npub1y0e…mm9n so where does that put you on the greedy corporation / selfless developer spectrum?

@npub1y0e…mm9n one that comes to mind is CITI’s early Apple networking code, back when you were still around. That code was open source and a company in the Bay Area (Kinetics) pounded it into a commercial AppleTalk/Ethernet gateway box that the university later bought tons of. This was seen as a big win for CITI and for the university.
I don’t remember what license Tim used for his LDAP code, do you?

@npub1y0e…mm9n I don’t know, howard. in its day, CITI released a whole lot of open source code under MIT/BSD license and i would not agreee that this choice (and it was MY choice) was “perpetrated on us by greedy developers.”
quite the opposite in practice: CITI’s major corporate partners (Sun, NetApp, EMC, Microsoft …) insisted on GPL (to which i reluctantly agreed because i am a soulless wretch at my core).
