I thought it was a joke but no, there are really on the official #CIA Web site descriptions of experiments done with the "psychic" Uri Geller cia.gov/library/readingroom/do #bendTheSpoon

Could the mastodon.xyz operator do something? This is turning into a full-time job for me ….

TIL that in GCC I can have a program goto a variable, and I think I would have preferred remaining innocent. :-)

In order to see a piece on Spiegel Online, I had to endure 30 seconds of people playing tennis. I can’t care less about any sport, and it turns out the video was an advert for Axa.

What exactly does Spiegel Online hope to win? Do they want me to start playing tennis, or should I immediately run out and change all my insurances? Neither is going to happen. Au contraire: those interruptions greatly annoy me

You want my money? Charge me. You are forcing me away from your platform and your content

BIND 9.14.x on OpenBSD

BIND 9.14.0 now requires support for atomic operations from the C-Compiler. The OpenBSD system compiler does not support these in all cases, it might be required to compile BIND 9.14 with clang or a modern GCC from ports/packages.

BIND 9.14.x on NetBSD

the new BIND 9.14.x release requires "libatomic" during compilation. "libatomic" is part of GCC and can be installed on NetBSD with

pkgin in gcc5-libs

the libraries will be installed in the path

"/usr/pkg/gcc5/i486--netbsdelf/lib/"

After setting

export LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/pkg/gcc5/i486--netbsdelf/lib/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/pkg/gcc5/i486--netbsdelf/lib/"

I was able to compile BIND 9.14.0 on NetBSD 8.

If there is a better solution, please let me know.

this is a very good description of what happened at Hydro, and I salute the balls those people had in communicating their fiasco!
