yeah corporate environments continue to be a pain point. IT wants centralised management a la intune/GPE, i want to be able to use proper terminal tools for automation.

last time it came to a head i moved into a vm and refused to come out for two years.

i’m in a union country. we even have a national union for people who aren’t in any work that has its own union.

today marks five months without a job. my union-provided salary insurance runs out soon and i’ll be down to unemployment benefits. i’ve applied for about forty positions and gotten something like five interviews total.

maybe i needed a break though. i’m almost done getting my motorcycle license, i’ve gotten into 3D printing, i’ve gotten my teeth fixed, and i’ve had time to try two different medications to help my focus. i wish it would help with the headaches though.

don’t eat the eggs

does this count as cuckolding

pretty sure the average iq is always 100…

well that wasn’t xerox but absolutely yes.

there was already a proposed thing called ipv4+, and it’s completely insane. if you know anything about network infrastructure the entire chain is hilarious.

weeeeell, ish. the big thing with the alto and the star was that the entire system was a live image that could be edited as it ran, and where every object was homogeneous enough to be put into any part of the system.

no, see the important part is to get xerox to be a major player in the graphical minicomputer industry while it was still important, so that the world of guis would all be based on their paradigm with instant editability and deep interconnection.

oops, yeah.

it definitely would not.

yeah the frames are different but that doesn’t matter to 99.9% of people.

oh god, the nightmare that “adding a fifth number” would be

ipv4 is a 32-bit number, which means the total number of possible addresses are 2³² = 4 294 967 296, which is waaaaay less than the amount of computers we have today. ipv6 is a 128-bit number, so the total is 2¹²⁸ = 340 282 366 920 938 463 463 374 607 431 768 211 456, which is more than all the grains of sand on earth.

the only thing i’ve heard people don’t like about ipv6 is that the addresses are longer and have letters in them.

i’d have blocked steve jobs from visiting xerox PARC.

because it’s full of yes men?

only if all actors are working in good faith.

doesn’t necessarily need to be short for North Atlantic, could be Not America’s no. 2
