20 years ago Harlan Ellison said I was "a superannuated teen-age golem with a slack jaw, a slow manner, a typical pointless surliness at a world unwilling or unable to accept him as Superlative, and on sum a twerp easy to dismiss" I am still very proud of that. www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/20...

In truth, they are both misanthropes whom reality has taught to defend themselves with a razor-sharp bulwark of words. The similarities were always very clear to me.

Today's update: IETF mailing list members are asking for technical help on how to completely block all emails from DJB.
For anyone unfamiliar, DJB has taken to spamming IETF mailing lists with lengthy diatribes with headers like "IETF as a Criminal Organization."
His current crusade against the IETF reads like the work of a sovereign citizen shouting about the Magna Carta. It was popular on Reddit.

I give them a pass - barely - because they are coming at it from the anti-government tinfoil-hat perspective , rather than the “Numbers go up!! mine crypto and fuck the environment, rugpull or die!” side of things - They also have some free newspapers there with actual tinfoil headwear ads…

It only meets those needs in the most nebulous, tortured, “technically ticks the audit box” manner. The only thing it seems to have been able to do in an effective manner was the deployment of some 3rd party software in 2020…

Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Stockholm syndrome is the only reason for it’s continued existence, and the developers feed off anguish and despair. Each time I try and dig to make use of the of the features it technically has, I uncover another layer of intentionally bad functionality.

I use Solarwinds (not by choice) and I don’t think it’s bad - That’s too mild of description. I don’t think it’s possible for it to be better, as the development objective seems to have been to make the most broken, tortured interface to accomplish a few basic functions, while still “ticking a box”

Yesterday, there was a completely clear night here in Heidelberg, and between 5am and 6am, my trusty little #SeestarS50, patiently waiting on the balcony, managed to catch 3I/Atlas - so here's a little animation of an extrasolar object in motion :-) 🧪🔭🎢
