ICYMI ❤️ My music is inspired by field recordings with ambient waves layered on top. It’s instrumental and good for focus or winding down. Your support makes a huge a difference to me and help me keep the lights on ❤️ #ambient #music

@theresmiling I haven't tried them _yet_, but I'm keeping an eye on them. I can still find somewhat-big artists via bandcamp.com, where I buy most of my stuff.

@theresmiling qobuz.com (see "Download store")?

For those interested in a bit on Australian computing history...

Abstract

Monash University, Australia developed an in-house local area network called MONET during the 1980s to meet the needs of the university’s computer users. The Monash University Computer Centre team created and installed an economical computer access network across an extensive campus with distributed computer installations and a large numbers of users. MONET was an early implementation of a Local Area Network (LAN) at a time when LAN concepts were evolving and specific hardware and software for the purpose did not yet exist. MONET became a successful large scale system that was in development and then operation to support all the University’s computer services for over a decade. It was also commercialized and used by various other organizations.

@ben cheers! Will give it a look.

Wondering if I should give in to the nerdsniping attempt by a coworker who mentioned they setup Authentik on their home network. Do I _need_ to do this? Surely not. And yet...

@mike I saw "PIF Editor" in that image and instantly unlocked a long-forgotten recess of my brain.

@mike Never forget that MS did TCP/IP, and the Internet in general, under sufferance. They had a different vision for the future - NetBIOS / LAN Manager in the workplace, and the original "MSN" instead of (or in front of) the Internet.

(I run a team that does OTel stuff, but … I don’t get time to fiddle with OTel itself much :-/ )

@web_goddess @gruber I remember having to go to an odd little reseller working above an inner-suburban shop to buy my first few Powerbooks in the 2000s. Lovely people, but yes, lots of delays and confusion and it was such a strange and different world to buying/building a PC. I had similar experiences to yours trying to get service from larger places later on, too :-/

@acb already waiting for the "pre-" to drop from my "pre-order"...

@koosli @potatochipwatch The tragedy (such as it is) is that when I was in China last year there was _so much good eating_ that I didn’t have room to try these; I had to wait until I was back here and found some in a local Chinese 超市 / supermarket.

just called some ingredients "breakfast assets" i need to be rescued from the tech sector stat

@koosli @potatochipwatch Can confirm.
