My sister-in-law got stuck in a parking lot for two hours because she accidentally confirmed a car software update. In the past, we got stuck because e.g. the spark plug died or the coolant froze. Today, it's because the car is updating.

"Change my mind" meme of a guy sitting at a table with a banner that says "FOSS solutions should have an account on Mastodon - CHANGE MY MIND". He is wearing a blue shirt and drinking a cup of coffee.

@bagder as a curl customer (or at least user) I've been feeling the need to say that the number of times I've heard you chaps say "bugs" related to curl this past week is really disconcerting.

I'm aware the word "fixes" typically accompnies "bugs", but that can't be good advertising for the upcoming IPO, right? Right?!

When I’m ready to pay, I signal the waitress by raising my hand and pretending to sign the air. I wonder how long that method’s going to work. 😊

Annoncé officiellement le 7 octobre, #Cascade est le successeur d'#OpenDNSSEC. Ce programme sert à gérer automatiquement les opérations répétitives liées à #DNSSEC comme la re-signature ou le remplacement d'une clé. Premiers essais : bortzmeyer.org/cascade-debut.h

@camille “better” is a very difficult word imo, and hardly applies here.

Cascade is a signer only, )cf OpenDNSSEC) vs Knot- DNS being a full auth server and signer.

Apples vs. Cheese sandwiches. :-)

Feature request for signers: add a signed TXT record to apex indicating brand of signer so we can show you off on screenshots!
