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.

I've got a good mind to pay y'all to not contribute any more to @mwl 's Kickstarter: just the idea of seeing that video is enough to make me want to learn "Savaged by Systemd" by heart.

“Reported to Cogent (ticket HD303751898) but they do not seem to
understand that they manage a root name server.”

We’re doing what, you say?!

That’s funny 😄

@bortzmeyer @winfried "most obscure parts .." which is surprising, really, given that they do advertise their stuff quite nicely https://root-servers.org
