Hey #GenX. Remember when calling a BBS in a nearby area code resulted in $100s in long distance charges - giving rise to carriers like Sprint & MCI?
I once called a #BBS in my own area code thinking it was local & my Dad got a $500

Bulletin Board Systems (BBS): the "internet" before the internet — Paul McLellan
Before you could connect to the internet with high speed cable modems, you were limited to connecting to localized networks through a telephone-based modem at a very, very low speed.

I blogged about the history of the public-service broadcasting institution ARD in Germany and how I finally got access to TV program data to answer my reoccuring question of when the news program is on tonight in the spirit of "Public Money, Public Good".

Over the past twenty-one years, I've posted 365 posts to my blog, on average one every twenty-one days. They total almost half a million words.
That's quite some corpus of work.

365 posts
Checking my blog yesterday, I noticed that I had published 365 posts, one for every day of the year. Which, considering that the oldest post that remains is from the 24th June 2004, almost twenty one years ago, means that I've averaged one post every twenty-one days over that period. Mind you, I've not been consistent; there've been periods I've posted more, others I've posted less.

"How to get the most out of tech while freeing ourselves from the lunatics in Silicon Valley"
Says Ian Dunt in his article on a corporate Substack page linked from his block-chain owned Bluesky account.
He does so without using the words "Fedi" "blog", "decentralize" "open source", "free software", or "mastodon", and while calling Facebook and Instagram "seemingly more benign".
There must be a form of moderate tech disinvestment, which allows us the things we benefit from while removing the things which harm us.
He pleads, admitting
I have no answers for this
Yeah, no kidding.
But he has stopped using Amazon so much and buys more DVDs now, and tries to use a tablet more than a phone!?
Well done I guess.

Puh. #HomeAssistant wirft native Installationen und 32Bit-Systeme (incl. ARM) ausm Support. Sehr schade. Jetzt geht nur noch VM oder Container, also noch mehr Abstraktion und Rumpaketiere zwischen HA und dem System, was kaputt gehen kann. Alles sehr unschön, da HAOS viele Geräte nicht sauber unterstützt und Container viele Einschränkungen bei Netzwerk und Sicherheit hat. :/

Thoughts on hashing in Rust.

Thoughts on Rust hashing
In languages like Python, Java, or C++, values are hashed by calling a “hash me” method on them, implemented by the type author. This fixed-hash size is then immediately used by the hash table or what have you. This design suffers from some obvious problems, like: How do you hash an integer? If you use a no-op hasher (booo), DoS attacks on hash tables are inevitable. If you hash it thoroughly, consumers that only cache hashes to optimize equality checks lose out of performance.

"Objective-C is a West Coast language. Objective-C is a hippie. You throw stuff at it and it just trusts you. “Peace maaaaaannn… if you say this is an NSArray I believe you…” and it leans back in its armchair, smoking weed, listening to Marley, Floyd, Doors, or Janis, looking at you with deep eyes, telling you stories about Buddhism and how important is ecology, and that tonight they are going to a retreat in the beach to pray for Yemanjš and the salvation of dolphins."

”Apple has effectively infinite resources and operates on their own timeline, but everyone else does not have this kind of luxury. Springing big changes like this all at once forces so many independent developers, entire companies, and the industry as a whole to freeze their own development schedules to accommodate Apple’s design system.
It’s asking a lot. For almost nothing in return.”
Great summary I agree with!
