       @robpike 8 bits made a lot of sense.At Uni I used the Honeywell L66 with 9-bit bytes and 36-bit words and it was ... unnecessary.

       @robpike Two whole thousand calculations per second!I wonder how many people in the TV audience of "What's my line?" could afford one of those dream machines?

       @kcarruthers @doomscroller Authorities said at the time of the disaster, that it would take 40 years to clean up.This is, of course, insane. Nuclear's great when it works, but leaving a mess that takes 40 years to clean up, is unacceptable.

       @benjaminwittes "If the government wanted to keep these documents secret, why did they let me have them??"

       @funkylab @mjg59 @antekone I read it as "this is just something I did for fun" and yep, sounds like fun. If I was doing it for real I'd just back up the important data (*) and install afresh.(*) There shouldn't be any important data on an X-years old computer from the closet or wherever. Your important code/data should be in git repos or on computers you maintain.

       @EU_Commission Perhaps the EU can mandate a common wall plug for all countries!

       @futurebird I dislike these AI-generated videos. The voices are very smooth, almost flawless, until at some point they mispronounce a word in a way no native speaker would.The tell, for me, is there's no live human on the video. No "I'm Jerry, and this is ....".The other highly annoying aspect of these AI-generated videos is the narration repeats the same points over and over.

       @geordie @franksting @mpesce @stufromoz I think my sister has the same, and she's had it for the last 10 days.Shows negative on COVID and flu a/b tests, but it's debilitating. Docs have sent a spit sample away for sequencing.

       Yes, case-insensitive filesystems are rubbish. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linus-Torvalds-Anti-Case-Fold
