#introductionpostHello, I'm an #EarlyRetired #GenX former #Unix #Linux #Storage #Networking etc #SystemAdmin residing in #Lethbridge #Alberta #Canada This is my #SelfHhosted #IceShrimp instance that is open to a limited number of account sign ups by request only. DM to ask.Related, I have a self hosted #pixelfed instance where I post things I find while wandering around with the cameras. You can find those at @another This account is intended to be posting mostly via short handwritten notes, using fountain pens and whatever paper is at hand. (attempting to anyways... A keyboard is a bad habit that is hard to give up.)My toots are ephemeral and might be deleted at any time. (I run irregular sweeps of my posts and zap them when I feel like it.)I prefer to stay away from politics, when possible. I may boost or create a #shitpost or #meme about them from time to time. Those are more likely to be deleted sooner than other posts.Here is a pile of hashtags related to me :#GenX #MostlyHarmless #EarlyRetirement#Retired #Unix #Linux #network #storage #SysAdmin#SciFi #B5 #Babylon5 #BSG #BattleStarGalactica #Firefly #Photography (See @another)#FountainPens #Handwriting #BadHandwriting #MostlyScribbles#YQL #Lethbridge #Alberta #CanadaPreviously known as : @phasorburn@yql.social @phasorburn@toot.phasorburn.com @phasorburn@t2.phasorburn.com

Back in simpler times, I set up some mailing list software and added any spammer that found my inbox to that list, then injected their spam back to the list. This was when the majority of spam had valid From fields.There was a clear method in the email headers on how to unsubscribe.The indignant chaos of them fighting with each other demanding to get off the list and to stop sending them spam was priceless entertainment.#bofh #sysadmin #90s

@mczachurski Would it be possible to keep the note itself but purge the cached copy of the remote image (in a way that it could be pulled in again if someone were to view that note again) ? Purge cache of those not interacted with in 90 days, and purge cache of those interacted with more than six months ago? Keep smaller preview images in the cache for 2x the whole image life time?

In the early 90s I worked with Data General Dasher D2 serial terminals that are the inspiration for the computers in Severance. The D2 was in the printer room and was used to control the print queues. The keyboards were shit, partly because even at that time those terminals were long in the tooth (introduced 1977), and the keyboards were starting to go.My favourite as far as looks went was the D200, from 1979. I was also able to type reasonably ok on it and used an in house Oracle Pro*C Forms application in my main job as well as monkeying around with rewriting printer queue management scripts for the new AViiON DG/UX system that replaced a pair of MV/8000 AOS beasts.#Sysadmin #Unix #SerialTerminals

I'm thinking of starting a side gig selling photos of my giant big toe on OnlyToes.
