Hospital security: unsupervised & unlocked computers sitting in an open hallway. Screens showed names + medical data of patients... yuck 😷 t.co/zjsNYwSJmE

It doesn't need much - maybe 1 to 2 gigabytes disk space, enough ram to run the very small VM, barely any CPU and since there's ratelimiting anyways, barely any bandwith, too. Download the VM to your PC, follow the instructions on archiveteam.org/index.php?titl - bam, you're helping!

Im Zeitalter von Smartphones, Tablets, Playstation und XBox ist eine solche Hausaufgabe nicht nur zeitgemäß, sondern auch wirklich sehr sinnvoll.

Die Klassenlehrerin meiner Tochter hat der 1. Schulklasse für die Sommerferien folgende Hausaufgaben mitgegeben:

1. Auf einen Baum klettern.
2. Auf einer Wiese liegen und in den Himmel gucken.
3. Nachts heimlich länger aufbleiben.

Wie toll ist das bitte?

i feel like on the old internet there was probably a guy with an angelfire page about how to write a whole TWAIN driver. on the new internet i find nothing but abandoned forum posts asking the same question, OR questionable third party driver suppliers trying to get me to download their updater app

This flew past my feed elsewhere... what a fun language idea. A mix of all romantic languages making it basically readable even for non-romantic-language speakers with only the slimmest grasp of those languages.

"no-reply' mails should be frowned upon, if you're not willing to receive mail, don't start sending it. #email

Regular reminder that if you use #OpenBSD, a great help to developers is to send your machines' dmesg outputs to dmesg <AT> openbsd.org.

If you'd like to help other *BSD users, regardless of what *BSD you use, submit your machines' dmesg outputs to dmesgd.nycbug.org/

It's free to do, and works best when we all chip in!

Most of those who think they are smart are idiots.

This is precisely why I chose to tinker with #Hubzilla as a federated FOSS social media hub; There’s event managagement built in by the exchange of iCal cards and JSON data. It would be nice if this could somehow be added to the ActivityPub spec or as an optional subset somehow. Federated calendars for event planning and syncing anyone?

One day I want to write about how "bloat" or absence of bloat in OS's or DE's is an aesthetic or communicative quality way more than it is technical and the fact that both sides of "it's bloated"/what is RAM then?" argument are most of the times way off point by ignoring it.

Another reason why Venustas, not Firmitas or Utilitas is the most critical of the three pillars of Vitruvius in modern UI/UX/technical design

Finished Catherine Nixey's excellent "The Darkening Age", about Christianity's violent role during the slow decline of the Roman Empire.

The Christianity of late antiquity was obsessed with demons and with sexual purity, no less fanatical than ISIS or the Taliban. Zealots burned books, smashed statues and temples, murdered non-Christians. Their targets were, in some cases, the exact same statues ISIS would obliterate so many centuries later.
