Mike Karels died on the way home from #BSDCan, at the age of 67.

https://www.gearty-delmore.com/obituaries/michael-mike-karels

This man spent 40 years working on BSD. His code appears in #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, and everywhere.

If you have used the Internet, you have used code he wrote.

RIP, sir. You changed the world for the better.

What's probably his last talk: "I don't have much to say," followed by a spellbinding eighty minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSziyKlG1ws

No matter how hard you work, you're a lazy piece of crap compared to how hard "simply" is working in this sentence.

If you suggest an AWS region migration is simple, you should be caught with a net.

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.

As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

highlight: this velociraptor puppet by Laura Mathews. The attention to detail in the anatomy, articulation and naturalistic movement are incredible to behold!

Why would the nationalisation of Thames Water end up putting its debt on the public books? If a company goes bust, and the govt buys the remains, surely the investors simply lose their investment and the debt falls to zero?

They want water companies to operate as profit makers, so they should accept when they go bust too.

Programming time! We’ve built a custom hexpansion development board that performs tests on and then programs the EEPROM and OTP cryptography chip on the GCHQ.NET hexpansion. 5 down, 95 to go. #emf2024 #emfcamp #hexpansion #GCHQNET

Folks heading to @emf:

I'll be running a workshop on the Saturday, hosted by @FieldFX.

I'll share my enthusiasm for the #demoscene - the wonderful hobby where art and tech meet, supported by an amazing community.

I'll include a little bit about what it is, but mostly hands on, making some pretty stuff animate on screen with the retro-styled #TIC80. Participants will leave armed with the skills to keep building and desire to do so!

The thing that really fucks me off about this #NationalService announcement is the undertone that “the problem with young people today” is they just don’t have sufficient ‘patriotic spirit’ to do these jobs for fuck all money when they’re faced with a lifetime of debt for the education I, and everyone older than me, had state funding for; shit pensions; late, if any, retirement; no chance of buying a house unless they have a rich benefactor…

Young people aren’t the problem. The system is.

I am so deeply, deeply tired of every god damned "can be answered with a tutorial" technical question search being overwhelmingly flooded with videos. I don't want videos. I don't want to listen to something I can read. I am at least 50% deaf. GIVE ME WORDS DAMN YOU. WOOORDSSSSS!

My son went to a really lovely school for kids with learning difficulties. They cut the school day by 30 mins (so 2.5 hours a week) because they couldn't afford to pay for teaching assistants. Fuck these Tories.
