Sure I make fun of iTerm2 containing code to chatgpt and will likely continue doing so, but it’s opt-in so no reason for me to stop using the very good program.

@icing I agree on all counts. I saw a fork w/o AI flying by yesterday, but thought to myself: sounds like a dead end.

We’ll see.

@icing ah, thanks for confirming what I suspected.

Sometimes I’m too bloody pessimistic.

I rather dislike the "digital native" term myself, but this article does make a number of valid points - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/24/banning-kids-from-social-media-isnt-the-way-its-the-over-60s-who-need-to-get-off-the-internet?CMP=share_btn_url

Yet another draft: ZONEVERSION

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-zoneversion/

I actually like the idea of receiving the SOA serial (zone version) in a response. Makes certain debugs easier

Why do female ENT (ear, nose and throat) assistants invariably have feeble squeaky voices?!

They: ………—…—-…
Me: ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?
They: …..
Me: COULD YOU SPEAK UP PLEASE, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE SAYING WITHOUT MY HEARING AIDS!

Best is when I’m in a busy waiting room trying to catch the moment they squeak my name

First time in many years that I've shaved my face, and I didn't even draw blood!

Those of you who know me or have seen pictures know I've had a 1--3mm beard'ish for a long time.

I'm having my throat slit† open in surgery tomorrow morning for a complete removal of the thyroid gland so I thought I'd spare a nurse some trouble and take a stab at cleaning away the hair.

No thoughts and prayers please. I'll report back here if and/or when I survive

† vertically not horizontally

@joanna danke. Nein, stationär, mindestens zwei Tage. Und mag ja Routine sein aber für mich ist es eine Premiere; die testen es bei mir das erste mal :)

I’m back (as in ‘still alive‘; not at home), and it went well.

Lovely message from @bortzmeyer ❤️who writes:

.. I hope the surgeon does not teleoperate through a flappy 5G link! …

Goes to show he’s clueless: in Germany tele-operations are performed over EDGE.

Forgive me, @mutax, but I just have to steal that:

the C in c.root-servers.net. stands for "caputt".

to be clear: if it's a issue and something's broken, then it's spelled kaputt.

@woody please forgive me; I misread the switch setting, expecting it to be coloured.
