Unfortunately, it looks like the US NSF is terminating and suspending research grants again.

This time, they are doing it in a way that doesn't show up in publicly available data, so please help us out and report if you've received suspension or termination letters for your NSF awards!

I can't believe I have to rant about this *IN 2026* but:

"5m" is not a useful timestamp.
"4:26PM" is not a useful timestamp.
"1 day ago" is not a useful timestamp.

These things are subjective, and with important data - SUBJECTIVE IS USELESS.

"2026-05-26 13:45:02 UTC" is a timestamp (and the preferred format)

Please, if you design UIs, write "ISO-8601 OR GTFO" in sharpie on the back of your left hand until you get it.

A while ago someone shared this regarding the BSD's:
FreeBSD: You need a processor, preferably something made in the last two decades with 1GB of RAM (although more is better)

OpenBSD: You need a processor, preferably made sometime since the turn of the century and maybe 256MB of RAM (although more is better)

NetBSD: You've got a dead badger you found on the roadside and have attached it to a dodgy 220V power-source? Sure, we'll run on that.

Unfortunately I have now come across a dead badger, but how do you connect a dodgy 240v power source?
