What's the status on that whole #bluesky#bridge thing? I forget the name of it / dev behind it. Crazy to think that could go live around the same time threads enables future bidirectional federation... #fediverse
The 55.2 metre wide and 53.3 metre high central arch of the Ballochmyle Viaduct in Ayrshire. Designed by John Miller in the 1840s, it's not only the highest railway bridge in Britain, at the time it was built, it also has the largest masonry span in the world. It was constructed as part of the Glasgow and South Western Railway connecting Glasgow, Stranraer and Carlisle, and still carries passenger and freight trains to this day.
Btw. my patch/fix for the weird #Linux#bridge#multicast snooping issue, where it'd stop snooping after 248 days of uptime on 32 bit devices (observed on MIPS on #OpenWrt at least, not sure what else uses CONFIG_HZ=100), got merged. And also made it's way into stable kernels already. And should land in OpenWrt with the next kernel bump.
