(US) State governments are urgently hiring COBOL programmers due to their unemployment systems breaking with the surge in new jobless claims. Imagine 50 years from now (even 10) trying to salvage a Node.js/npm/babel/webpack/etc build relying on specific versions of various packages.

I just discovered GMDX10. Call me nostalgic, but the nightlife seems to have lost its old charm.

So much fun with xauth today. Apparently untrusted clients can't use altgr in X-Applications (it works if the client is trusted). Well, who needs umlaute anyway.

I am a current member of ISOC German chapter.

I have asked the board of the German ISOC about the .ORG sale, but their answers did not convince me that the sale is any good.
