@yaakov the last time I had to turn a clock back or forward for daylight savings was 30 years ago.

Anyone who has tried to multihome IPv6 without PI space and (typically) BGP has undoubtedly run into the issue that it basically just does not work. There are a few options - none of them are really good - but at least they should be identified somewhere for posterity. A few of us decided to write a draft to start outlining the options (not solutions, per se) in this @ietf draft. datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft

@vyr Also if you use a Mac released this decade or an iPhone/iPad/Android device—basically anything except an old-school PC—you're using an ARM processor and that architecture was designed by Sophie Wilson, who is trans. It's the most widely used computer architecture. Computing this century is trans.

I'm looking forward to fifteen years from now, when Easter Sunday falls on Thursday January 1, 1970.

@jonn_blanchard yeah, I had a Saturday morning insane panic crazy work call. So that’ll do me.

Elon Musk asks a US judge to throw out the $258 Billion racketeering lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. Musk is accused of deliberately driving up Dogecoin's price more than 36,000%, then crashing it.

A striking visualisation of #climatechange: the date of Kyoto cherry blossoms' reaching full bloom, plotted over the past 1000 years.

Thanks to the cultural significance of cherry blossoms in Japan, we have data on the specific day of the year when a very particular species of cherry blossom (P. jamasakura) reached "full-flowering" (満開) in a specific area on the outskirts of Kyoto (Arashiyama), all the way back to 800 AD.

The trend of the past 50 years is hard to miss…

I drew this in 2020, posted it on the birdsite, and it went viral (at least by my standards!), earning me 250 new followers.

It shows how much battery various stars would have left if they had battery indicators like phones do. #MastoArt

Them: Don't worry about it, it's easy as breathing.

Me, currently hyperventilating: OH NO!

I've hired several folks starting a second career right out of code school. I've met with (sometimes hired, sometimes referred) others who picked up coding as a hobby while still working in a completely unrelated career.

They're equal parts brilliant and inspiring. But, like me, they often lack the vocabulary learned by those with formal educations in the field. Again, it's frustrating because they portray untapped levels of genius dismissed due to a lack of a degree.

@bagder wurl & burl are very Aussie sounding terms for giving something a try

I'd like to propose a new law:

If your firewall rule contains the word 'Temp' in the description, the firewall is required to disable the rule at midnight on the day that the rule was added.

More #yucca are blooming!!

The tops of these flowering structures are at least twice my height… so that’s 12+ foot (and they get up to and over 4 metres) tall.

The flowering clusters, based on my recent observations, appear to last only a week or two - at best.

But when multiple plants / trees are growing together they’re flowering at stagerred periods this month, so there’s a steady display of these things in certain parts of Melbs atm.

I’d say these ones are the late bloomers.

These ones were pictured in #ormond #Australia on this cool morning.

robodebt, FOI 

Do you want to see the #robodebt weekly status reports I asked for via #FOI that the department didn't want to release? But the Information Commissioner told them they had to in this decision? austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc
