Milliways' #OpenStack project has started!
We have begun experimenting with and learning about all the different OpenStack components and it's architecture at one of our host locations!

#OpenSource

🚨 THE RESULTS ARE IN 🚨

After a week of voting on 32 of the worst people in the tech industry, we have a winner!

The Worst Person in Tech for 2025 is…

We would love an introduction to someone at Infineon/Cypress for @emf badge purposes.

Surely one of you has a contact there. I can pay in stickers.

I have split feelings about the OpenStack documentation. On one hand, I have all the same gripes as most open source project documentation, but on the other I *still* haven't checked out. I *still* feel like I'm following what's going on and I'm *still* determined to run it.

What is going on here?

As for the promised update about the #why2025 #mugs. We have published a form that allows people to request a replacement. Once again, I apologise for this all taking incredibly long. There's a lot still in the works...

If you are affected, please fill out this form. Please do know that we require a picture of your mug as proof of purchase. It doesn't have to be damaged to be replaced.

https://forms.why2025.org/s/cmipv805q000dmo01blx60ct4

The form will be available for the next good while. Once we collected enough responses, we will start handling replacement distribution.

Mugs Replacement

Thanks a lot for your time πŸ™

Maak geld vrij voor LongCovid (en andere PAIS) onderzoek en behandeling

In Nederland hebben 100.000'en mensen LongCovid of andere PAIS. Er zijn inmiddels positieve resultaten met bepaalde medicijnen. De overheid maakt geen geld meer vrij voor onderzoek en behandeling. Al die mensen blijven hierdoor deels of helemaal geΓ―soleerd en onzichtbaar. Wij eisen zorg! https://geldvoorpias.petities.nl

So this is v1. Luckily I ordered 2 project boxes since there’s certainly room for improvement. But hey, it works, for now. My town is no longer a #meshcore black hole. Now we wait for a link to another node!
Supreme court debating on whether ISPs should be the police and kick pirates off the internet. If purchasing isn't owning then torrenting isn't piracy. OpenAI's corporate scale piracy for profit is fine, but little Billy torrenting Stranger Things because his family are too poor for the Netflix streaming subscription price that just went up again is a war crime and his whole family can be kicked off the internet. #piracy #drm
