Happy Saturday everyone. If you’re an iPhone owner, today would be a great day to turn on Advanced Data Protection: this will end-to-end encrypt your iCloud backups so that only you (and people you choose) can see your photos and data. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212520

Did you check your mail today?

I'm sure you didn't because there haven't been many calls coming in on RC-BOX BBS #RC2014BBS (the world's first and - currently - only bulletin board system #BBS running on a #RC2014 )

Better fire up your #Telnet terminal client (#Syncterm, #Qodem or even #Qterm if you are using CP/M #CPM) and connect to:

rc2014.ddns.net on TCP port: 2014

so you won't be missing any news!

Reminder: Monday, 6 March starts the 2023 Human Genome Editing Summit in London. For those of us in the U.S. who care to get up in the wee hours, the summit will be available via Vimeo or Zoom (see website). I believe the video will continue to be available after the meeting as well but that's just my guess.

In 1998 the W3C introduced the fact that some URIs can be cool 😎, gave exactly one property of cool URIs, and has not provided any further instructions on how to be cool in the subsequent 25 years.

Ok folks, in light of the outage and DDoS from the last 24hrs, we've setup a backup Fosstodon account - @fosstodon@mastodon.social

Please follow that account too if you want to keep up with outage notifications etc.

I came to Rome, and visited the Vatican, and climbed ~320 steps, and took many photos.
