hey party people, I'm going to be rebooting and doing a hypervisor upgrade of bsd.network in about 10 minutes, starting at 08:00 UTC.

It is wild to me that PrEP exists. Bless all the ACT UP fighters who never relented, never quit, and brought us to an era where we can protect ourselves from HIV.

Fucking heroes, all.

Those who remember AUX ports on routers and cabling to CON ports might appreciate Wetatronics design of a SFP that provides an AUX port (or two with a breakout adapter). Connects outbound to a meet me server (cloud or run on-prem) over TLS.

Seems like a clever idea, for a β€œzero U” console server.

(As announced at #NZNOG lightning talks.)

Two RS-232 serial console ports in a standard 1G SFP. Serial over IP and RS-232 to Ethernet access for data centers, MSPs, and industrial networks. No rack space required.

If you work in any sort of organizational volunteer capacity:

think about EVERYTHING you have access to, slowly over time gathering a list of everything you've touched
get all the passwords
give them and recovery information access to someone else

I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot. But it looks like it wasn't in vain.

If you're going to cover it, *this* is how the series should be described every time it's mentioned.

Hey, if you are #trans and began transitioning in the 2016 - 2019 era, can you reply and let me know!

There are apparently way more of us here than I realized, and I would like to be closer friends with those that remember the before times and trans twitter and the discourses and the excitement before we all got burnt the fuck out. πŸ˜…

Guess who forgot to publish the new episode of the #OpenBSD on m88k story earlier this morning? (I'll blame the cat wanting to play, for this).

So, in today's episode, I try my luck at arm-wrestling the compiler, the OpenBSD/mvme88k port gets its first official release, and we end with a proof that I suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

Read it at http://miod.online.fr/software/openbsd/stories/m88k2.html and stay tuned for next week!
