• Isopods have 7 pairs of legs all pretty much the same length.

• 74** logic gates have ... 7 pairs of legs all the same length!

Coincidence? I think not!

Clearly, each isopod contains 4 logic gates. This Armadillidium vulgare has 4 AND gates. Don't forget to connect power & ground legs & use pull-down resistors on inputs.

(best practice is to simply ask the rollie to position itself in your circuit.)

Like most natural systems. they use micro-voltages, don't use standard 5V power sources.

Everyone, I have an idea:

We should create a global holiday:

Backup Day. Everyone gets a day off to stay at home and make sure that all important files are backed up. At the end of the day you have a family dinner and share a scary data loss story to scare the kids

Edit: as some have pointed out, there already is a Backup Day! It is March 31st so I expect no less then a large celebration on @fosstodon next year. Happy Backup day everyone! :omya_aws:

I will masturbate today as many times as this post gets boosts.

Make me proud.

Once upon a time -- many, many years ago and late one night -- I entered the ARPANET (the Internet's ancestor) computer room at UCLA to do some work on ARPANET host #1 -- the DEC PDP-11/45 that was UNIX UCLA-ATS.

But something was wrong. The system was behaving very oddly. It was up, and not under heavy load, but ... it was as if it kept starting and stopping. When I'd type there'd be activity -- I could see it on the front panel lights, but when I stopped typing ... everything seemed to stop. I could get keyboard echos, and then a response ... but then everything would stop again.

Normal boot wasn't working either, but it was possible to reboot from the emergency DECtape.

But still clearly failing overall.

When we ultimately found out what the problem was, I was quite amused. The real-time clock hardware had failed, so the process scheduler was not cycling properly. However, whenever someone typed, the keyboard interrupt would push the scheduler so there'd be some action -- but then it would stop again until there was more typing and more interrupts.

Basically, the system was operating as if on a hand crank. Live long enough, and you see almost everything. -L

Proposal:

#StarTrek: Miles

After years in a Cardassian war, on Starfleet's flagship and on some remote space station in the back of beyond, Miles O'Brien needs therapy.

The series shows O'Brien talking to his therapist. He recounts the absolute horror that he has been part of over the years. No cutbacks, no vfx. Just a close-up of Colm Meaney, telling the stories. Every now and then we cut to an absolutely shocked therapist.

Hab heute Nacht geträumt, ich würde in einer Welt leben, in der "Tiere nicht essen" und "Planeten bewohnbar erhalten" als extreme Positionen geframed werden. 🤣🤣🤣

Elon Musk may or may not be deliberately tanking Twitter, but if you believe he could run it well and has simply chosen not to, you're as big a simp as the rightwing bluechecks.

He's not a genius. This is him working at the limits of his capabilities. This is who he is.

Ich bin sowohl Fan von Alien als auch von furchtbaren Wortspielen, und deshalb heißt meine USV zu Hause ab sofort Nostromo.

Mein Pocketbook eReader rächt sich, dass ich ihn schon länger nicht genutzt habe: Die gummierte Rückseite fühlt sich klebrig an. 😟

Ist ja nicht unüblich, dass je älter diese Gummi-Beschichtungen werden desto klebriger sie werden. Kennt jemand ein gutes Hausmittel um das zu beheben?

"Russia is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." - Winston Churchill (1939). So don't feel too bad about not understanding what's going on there right now. I don't.
