DEC, Sun, Amiga, IBM, and everything in between. Datashed proprietor.

Very happily and monogamously married with kids. Do not disturb this arrangement.

@kiwa reminds me of one of the Amiga AHI sound cards from back in the day. Delfina Plus I think.

@vidister OSS for that warm sound.

I jest.

@kiwa I see nothing unreasonable here!
@kirtai @mos_8502 sounds right to me! Bytecode interpreters in C tend to lean heavily on crazy pointers
@mos_8502 how about a pointer to a struct containing arrays of pointers to functions

@ifixcoinops Reasonable, sane, rational commentary. On Linux.

I've just seen a unicorn.

Any #webdevelopment folx out there:

I'm looking to develop an SSO feature compatible with retro browsers (i.e., this needs to be compatible back to at least the era of Netscape Navigator 2.02).

This is for a site/service targeted at retrocomputing enthusiasts, so the security weaknesses of using old software are already a known and accepted quantity (i.e. suggestions to only use up-to-date software don't apply here). In other words, assume the target audience understands the risks (which will be heavily disclaimed anyway).

JWT was my (brief) initial thought, but I think the encryption requirements may make it a poor fit-for-purpose.

Any suggestions?

Hey fedi. My wife was affected by the #stackoverflow layoffs last year. Since then she has had a verbal offer rescinded because the company was acquired during the process and has been runner up multiple times.

She has 5 years of professional theater experience (stage management) and has been working as a meeting and events manager for the past 8. Her last 5 years have been focused in tech b2b marketing.

If you know of any cool US based roles reach out!

@howtophil definitely not trying to talk up HP here. But they were quite liberal offering VMS hobbyist licenses for not just Alpha and Itanium, but VAX as well, with no restrictions on cluster size.

VSI's model is objectively and demonstrably hostile to hobbyists.
