cf100clunkon Big Fish: Exploiting a 37-Year-Old Kernel Bug in OpenBSD

>> someone has made a talk validating the marketing with the actual reality

That was as of 6.6, circa 2019, to be clear. I'd be interested in what they would have to say about 7.9 at present.

cf100clunkon What was a Token Ring network?

I think you mean "went" and I wish there was a very brief plain text summary rather than a long video that I don't have time to watch. Anyway, I enjoyed the token ring comic and don't have strong feelings about the cartoonist now that he's gone.

cf100clunkon What was a Token Ring network?

I just read through his Wikipedia entry and didn't see that he'd gone ''crazy'' unless you mean his political views? He's dead now anyways. I linked to that comic because I had bosses like that way back when.

cf100clunkon Woking Electrical Control Room (2016)

Definitely an art deco feel to the interior when I disregarded later model telephones and apparatus. Poirot himself would waddle in and be right at home.

cf100clunkon 13 Months Sober (2025)

Twelve-step groups have been using ''sober'' and ''sobriety'' for almost 100 years. In this day and age its surprising to see some confusion about what those terms can mean.

Everyone north of the U.S. border calls it the ''Canadarm'', of course. I hope they get it sorted after it has been operating for more than a decade beyond its longevity spec.

The LibreWolf browser, and if need be the IronFox browser for Android, should have been installed and analyzed in parallel with Brave by the OP, then I'd accept that a proper analysis was begun.

cf100clunkon Vast Casino Secrets leak exposes inner workings of offshore gambling firms

''Files could have seismic consequences for online casinos, including those accused of illegally targeting consumers''

Gambling is a mug's game in the first place. Only James Bond ever beats the house. So, on top of that, online casinos are ginning up their addictiveness with AI and other analytical tools.

cf100clunkon Invasions of Canada (1812)

Incorrect title since the link is only about the War of 1812. There were several other invasions of what became Canada, such as 1775, the Fenians, and the Pig War.

cf100clunkon Nokia Design Archive (2025)

At one of our big Nokia meetings back then, one of the board members, quite elderly, joked enviously that all the imagery in our advertising and internal documentation showed young people ''jumping over things'' while holding a mobile phone. It was a heady time of paradigm shifts from phoning a location's land line in order to reach someone, to actually phoning them directly (call the person, not their location). So much of that imagery was very prescient.
