#SoftwareCosts don't end at deployment.
2001: An engineer adopts a French #OpenSource bulk mailer, running on mostly unsecured SMTP. Over the years it's extended ad hoc โ eventually managing security group permissions. The company grows; the #software (now at 100ร planned #capacity) falls over daily.
2009: After the original engineer leaves, a contractor-turned-hire inherits it. Memory leaks fixed, algorithms rewritten that had pre-cached the universe for "efficiency." Redundancy established and tested. Deployment documented. The upstream package has been rearchitected twice since 2001, and after being pulled off the project twice to restart, the replacement engineer maps all integrations to the new architecture with a proper API โ replacing direct database queries. The max supported mailing groups turns out to be tied to filesystem limits: 32k+ groups (now at 300ร original capacity thanks to fixing the memory leaks and hourly restarts) each with a directory, capped by hardlink counts on the inode. A campaign encourages responsible use and better security. Archiving aligns with retention policy. And nearly daily, a manager insists someone didn't get their email, so the engineer traces it by SMTP ID.
Then the company moves to Gmail, which won't tolerate internal mailers forging external domains. Data and management migrate to Google Groups with a new front-end preserving the old permission controls. Legacy API users are tracked and urged to migrate before "the end." And the heart of corporate communication for 15+ years is decommissioned.

#FukushimaNuclearPlant clean-up faces yet another delay
Story by Mari Yamaguchi, July 29, 2025
"The full-scale removal of melted nuclear fuel from the #tsunami-wrecked #FukushimaDaiichi power plant has been delayed by several years, with the operator now targeting 2037 or later for the crucial operation.
"Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (#TEPCO) announced the setback on Tuesday, underscoring the immense challenges still facing the site.
"TEPCO stated that 12 to 15 years of preparation are required before commencing full-scale debris removal at the No. 3 reactor, involving radiation reduction and facility construction.
"An estimated 880 tons of melted nuclear fuel and structural debris remain within the three reactors that suffered meltdowns following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
"This latest delay further jeopardises the Japanese government and TEPCO's existing 2051 target for decommissioning the plant.
"A test retrieval of a small fuel sample in November was already three years behind schedule, with some experts suggesting the entire #decommissioning process could extend beyond a century.
"TEPCO said it plans to stick to the current completion target of 2051.
" 'Realistically, we are aware of the difficulty (to achieve the target) but we will not drop the goal just yet, as we still don't have a clear work schedule after the full-scale removal begins,' said Akira Ono, chief decommissioning officer at TEPCO.
"Ono said TEPCO plans to examine preparation work necessary at the two other reactors within the next couple of years ahead of full-scale melted fuel retrieval.
"After small missions by robots [that were fried by radiation] to gather samples, experts will determine a larger-scale method for removing melted fuel, first at the No. 3 reactor.
"In May, Japan announced plans to use slightly radioactive soil, stored near Fukushima nuclear plant, for flower beds outside Prime Minister #ShigeruIshibaโs office. [Maybe put more waste there as well! Useless politicians! Who have access to #PrussianBlue pills which remove #Cesium137 from one's body!]
"The move is intended to demonstrate the safety of reusing soil that was removed from Fukushima prefecture during decontamination efforts following the 2011 nuclear disaster. Officials say that some of the soil has now reached levels deemed safe for reuse." [Using faulty dosimeters, I'll wager!]

The Japanese operator of the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says the start of full-scale removal of melted fuel debris will be delayed for several years until 2037 or later. It's the latest setback underscoring the challenges ahead. Overall, at least 880 tons of melted nuclear fuel has mixed with debris inside the three reactors that suffered meltdowns at the plant following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings said Tuesday it will need 12 to 15 years of preparation before starting the full-scale removal of melted fuel debris. Preparation includes reducing radiation levels.
