It's entirely possible they don't know about this. I certainly didn't until just now.

Except all the profits from selling all those cables, connectors, and converters.

Indianapolis also has a large steam network, with a prominent steam plant located in the southwest corner of downtown proper -- just down the street from Lucas Oil Stadium.

I've owned a Model 3 for years now, and FSD is scary as hell. We haven't paid for it -- and we won't -- but every time we get a free trial of it (mostly recently this past Fall), I give it a whirl, and I end up turning it off. Why? Because it does weird shit like slow down at an intersection with a green light. I don't feel like I can trust it, at all, and it makes me more anxious than just using standard auto-steer and cruise control (which still ghost breaks sometimes). I don't get why anyone uses FSD.

I can't stop rolling my eyes at all those big promises.

I would love to know more about how this got discovered and figured out. I can imagine some sysadmin pull their hair out, thinking they've got some infected system, but then find out it was some bug with their terminal emulator.

I still have my Windows 95 installation floppies. It was a phenomenal operating system at the time, but I don't miss it one bit.

LOL

When you spend 8 hours a day around folks and become friends with them, it's natural to miss them when they leave. It's OK if you don't have any meaningful relationships with your co-workers, but, to me, that sounds unhealthy.

It also speaks ActivityPub, and can thus talk to Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. servers.

Bummer. The example in the articles doesn't work.

It's a shame the Indiana one is blurry. I wish I had a better one to put up there.

What if the author/copyright holder is a corporation?

Apologies if you already know this, but pipelining has existing in SMTP for decades now. You can see if an SMTP server supports it when using EHLO (instead of HELO).

I believe this RFC 2920 is the original standard going back to 2000. I remember pipelining being a thing in Postfix about 20 years ago, at least.

I like what the author is saying, but I want everyone to keep in mind that how we send email is mutually exclusive from how we read/create email. You can solve issues related to one while not dealing at all with the other.

For example, something I'd love to see is SMTP2. What can we do to improve SMTP and make it faster? Can we require TLS? Can we standardize and lockdown sender authentication? We wouldn't necessarily need to have a separate DNS records because it could be handled in a fashion similar to HTTP and HTTP2 and use the same ports.

This new protocol could be tied to a new standardized email format, if that's what people wanted to do.

I've never heard of a company that wants their employees to move slower.

What would be better?

Was it a donation? Or was it an investment?

Actually, it was the other way around. Cingular bought AT&T Wireless, which was _not_ part of the original AT&T at the time.

A monopoly of what, exactly?

Looks like SimpliSafe became aware of this problem as far back as at least 2019 and made a blog post about it.

(( sigh )) I wish I lived closer.

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC data lives in TXT records that must stay there forever; otherwise, you'll have problems delivering your email.

AWS supports IPv6.

Porn was also a big thing in the binaries groups back in the day, specifically photos.

They don't.

As often as you feel like.

I remember attempting to run Windows NT 4, but it lacked a lot of hardware support. Windows 2000 Professional fixed a lot of that. I consider Windows 2000 to be the first stable AND usable (for a desktop) version of Windows.

That would be me!

I remember the times before September 11, 2001, when I could show up at the airport about 30 minutes before my flight, get through security (which was locally operated -- no TSA), get my boarding pass at the gate, and board. It was great!

People could also meet you at the gate when you arrived, instead of outside the security area. There would always be peoples' families and loved ones there waiting for them.

Same. I've been using Overcast for many years, and it's been the best podcast app I've ever used.

I'm sure there will be some good books coming out about it in the next couple of years that will shed light on what actually happened.
