This clip from 2001 about computer viruses, I’ve been doing some research into internet worms and stumbled across it.

Liebe Fedimäuse

Ich möchte eure Aufmerksamkeit auf eine Fedi-Flohmarkt-Plattform lenken. :fediverse:

Ich verfolge diese schon etwas länger, doch habe das Gefühl dass es keinen Nachschub an Nutzer*innen gibt.
Sehr schade eigentlich, da es eine open source alternative zu Kleinanzeigen, eBay & Co. im Fediverse darstellt.

Schaut sie euch an, sie ist schlicht und einfach, aber mehr braucht es auch nicht.

Ihr düft den Beitrag gern teilen :boost_requested:

The Macintosh Horizontal Product is what happens when you lose dimensional stabilisers for a bit and land about six stops too far from your own dimension-space. This one tried to attack multiple times, but seemed to settle down when fed.

You don’t want to know what it eats.

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop?

Perhaps it's time to tap the chart again. Left-handed people were once seen as sinister (the word sinister, from Latin, originally meant "left" or "on the left side") so kids were forced to be right-handed. However, with advances in science it became clear that brains were hard-wired for handedness, and society began to accept it as normal. The number of left-handers rose dramatically, but plateaued at 12% in the 60s and has stayed steady since.

This is a post about trans and non-binary people.

have you ever seen that if you access a certain address in a ddr3 chip, it kind of crashes and needs to be reset to work normally again?

This was pushed out with a rushed security review, a coerced and unwilling engineering team, and in full opposition to our supposed company values.

If you don't want it, tell them. Social media and support forums. Leadership won't listen to employees. https://github.blog/changelog/2025-08-26-grok-code-fast-1-is-rolling-out-in-public-preview-for-github-copilot/

The star trek future we have at home:

Now that the President of the United States has sent the military to take over American cities and oppress civilians, I thought it would be fun to check in with the men who claimed to be terrified about this happening a decade ago when the president was Black. https://skepchick.org/2025/08/checking-in-on-jade-helm-conspiracy-theorists-10-years-later/

Wir probieren’s nochmals :)

Wir möchten einen schönen (Desktop-)Computer der frühen 80er Jahre aus Augsburg vor dem Schrott retten, bräuchten dafür aber etwas Hilfe vor Ort.

Wer möchte in Augsburg einen Computer mit Festplatte und 12“ Grünmonitor abholen, und uns (gegen aufgerundete Kostenerstattung) zusenden nach Freiburg?

Wir könnten HP-BASIC 5.1 darauf ausführen, oder gar HP-UX 2.0.

Ruhm und Ehre wären euch sicher. Und sinnloser Elektroschrott vermieden.

@bini_adamczak Der offizielle NASA-Stream scheint weniger Infos zu haben, dafür keine Werbung: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H999s0P1Er0

Wusstet ihr, dass es einen livestream von der ISS gibt, auf dem ihr - so lange das Signal empfangen werden kann - die Erde so sehen könnt wie sie jetzt gerade unter der Raumstation hinweg gleitet?

Ich habe nen ollen #Laptop. Auf dem würde ich gerne mal dieses #Linux ausprobieren.
Gibts jemanden im #Fediverse, der oder die physisch zwischen #Dessau und #Köthen wohnt oder von da gut mit dem #Fahrrad zu erreichen ist und mir das #installieren , erklären und später helfen kann?
Boost erwünscht

@lmorchard good christ the number of conversations I've had about jobs that go like

me: "you understand I'm 100% remote"
them: "yup"
me: "I won't move to your city"
them: "course"
me: "absolute deal breaker"
them: "it's cool bro"
me: "I cannot negotiate on this"
them: "we love remote"
me: "I will literally quit if this is a job requirement"
them: "remote-o-rama!"

...
hours later

them: "but 3 days/wk in-office, obvs"
