x.com I thought I had the best time at the largest vintage computing event in the world. But then someone rolled up with a cesium atomic clock, and I was no longer sure... My video covering VCF Midwest is here: https://t.co/eebZXkO5oc #vcfmw Related
Site NTP, an atomic clock, and having a great time at the world's largest VCF I'm back from VCF Midwest 21, arguably the largest vintage computer festival on the planet. After being blown away last year, I decided to get a table of my own this year, to demonstrate NTP Time on a bunch of old Macs,…

Apple's considering entering the server market again, with the M8 Ultra. But I found the axed rackmount server Apple was building in the late 90s at VCF Midwest—the ANS 300. Thanks to @ClassicII_MrMac for telling me more about it! Related

If you're at VCF Midwest, come all the way to the back corner and check out my NTP Time demo on a bunch of old Macs! (Starring an Xserve G5 with an acrylic cover). Also check out Mr. Macintosh's rack full 'o Xserves across the pod! #vcfmw Related

I'm outta time! I'm packing for VCF Midwest today, but did finish up the last three projects for my NTP Time demo on old Macs: Xserve G5, Mac SE/30, and iBook G3 Clamshell (over AirPort Wi-Fi!). #vcfmw Also a bonus look at AppleTalk-based time transfer: Related

Coming to VCF Midwest? If you're like me, it's hard trying to remember where everything is, especially with @vcfmidwest taking up the ENTIRE expo hall this year. So I made this tool last night: https://t.co/3zrDDqkCSQ Now it's a lot easier to find exhibitors! #vcfmw Related

Building a mini Homelab that fits in my carry-on I'm traveling to Chicago for VCF Midwest next month. I'll be demoing NTP time history on vintage Macs, with my own GPS-derived NTP service hosted on an Xserve G5, synced via NTP or a strange AppleTalk timing extension f…

lazyweb: I'm curious about how to get a list of all of the different "kinds" of things SSH can do. my impression is that there's: - open a terminal session - just run one command - TCP port forwarding - X11 forwarding - copy files and that these all separate "commands" or "protocols" inside SSH. Not sure how to get a list of all of them though. edit: I think the answer is "read https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/PROTOCOL and https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4254.txt" Related

This piece is out! 4 sites, 10 days, and 6000 words on the politics of data centers in the Midwest: https://t.co/uOL7vmf3wC I talked to union leaders and real estate brokers, activists and local officials, politicians from Kathy Hochul to Abdul El-Sayed. A few takeaways: - Activists are as pissed at their local officials as at AI companies - The bigger the dollar signs, the more skeptical people are - Past corporate failures (Foxconn, GM, DTE) prime community distrust - Even data center proponents regret the NDAs - Media narratives turn local grievances into national movements - Residents fea… Quoting @jasminewsun I’m spending the next week driving around Wisconsin and Michigan to get a firsthand view of the data center buildout and backlash am visiting sites, talking to tons of people — tradespeople, activists, planners, residents — then writing up a story lmk what questions I should dig into! data centers Related

Their words
there’s also within that excitement, and within everybody talking just to each other, there’s a dismissal of the basic human experience across the United States and the Midwest, across the world.

Co-founder of Panic, the Portland software company behind Transmit, Coda, Nova and the Playdate handheld console.
Started goofing around with mesh radios. Delighted to discover the tech immediately bifurcated into a slapfight between two competing protocols as per the ancient and sacred nerd traditions. Not having much luck with either of them to be honest. I can see lots of #meshtastic nodes from my home, but can't reliably communicate with any of them, and public channel is mostly silent. Not enough #meshcore coverage in my area for a fair try. Anyone else meshing in Portland? Related

A confession in prep for my next blog article: 6 months ago I started a program of Testosterone Replacement therapy, after learning about it from my friend Kevin @Camp4 who had just started a company which does it. I thought I'd be at least helpful as test subject for their protocols, but it turned out to be much more: my life has been semi-transformed, in the form of maybe a 50% boost in all areas of life. It's pretty big. So now I am encouraging any friends who are men friends in the 45+ age group to consider learning more about this stuff, and to make sure their next blood test includes a… Quoting @Camp4 There’s a lot of noise and misinformation out there about testosterone. My company, Bolt Health, is hosting a free masterclass on October 14. It's not a sales pitch, it’s just the facts every man needs to know: + The latest research + How to know if you have low T + New treatment options (including… Psychotherapy Related

Their words
What you need is interoperability. Interoperability can happen through a blockchain, it can happen through a database, it can happen through standards bodies with defining standards and protocols. And we've been doing it for hundreds of years since the railroads were standardized. And it's not something that totally requires a novel technological solution.

Therefore, I realized that it’s very important to be as awake as possible and that my model of sleepiness where you can be “awake”, “sleepy” and “asleep” is dumb.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
