@jwz I have 6.5.22f media, including a custom hack of the bootable media that has the http modules inserted into the rootimage to allow it to use HTTP services, AND a full inst install script for an Indy (SGI Indy running 6.5.22f USED to be my mail server). If you need, I can hook you up. It would be an honor and a privilege!

@jkbecker @Quinnypig I had wondered if that might be the case, but I don't have dentures! :)

@scanlime And as is tradition, as soon as I ask, I figure it out for myself:
rfc-editor.org/ien/ien2.txt
rfc-editor.org/ien/ien26.pdf (WHERE IS PAGE 3?!)
rfc-editor.org/ien/ien28.pdf (secion 2.3)

... and I am sure it continues as the evolution of the protocol got to v4)

@scanlime awhile ago you had posted a paper describing variable length network addresses in ipv4 (or earlier), where each 'program' on a computer would get an address and then a router to a subnet would just be a different program, and then this evolved over time to port numbers identifying programs and a fixed address size.

Do you still have a link to that, or any search terms that would help me find it? Thanks.

@georgetakei it happens to me all the time. It is usually:

1. When you are talking on a call the ios device picks one earpod to be the main mic. That one drains power a lot more quickly

2. Frequently one of my airpods doesn’t make good contact in the case to charge, so it never gets a full charge. I have airpod pros, and for me it is my right

It can of course be both together

@mfru Running it right now, typing to you from it right now.

IN GENERAL, it is pretty darn good; uses all of the same drivers as linux. Full upstream support from NVIDIA.

Right NOW, the freebsd drm package is based off of linux 5.10 instead of the latest 6.mumble, so on my newest of laptops (gen12 intels), I am running frame buffer. That said, it is flawless, it works.. I just am missing acceleration and use of the external display adapters.

Remember when AOL would post these out everywhere, all the time?

@openstreetmap hey. Something not up with www.openstreetmap.org? Getting really spotty connectivity from multiple networks, even if down-detectors say you are up.

@phen314 hah, you saw that.. I deleted it. I let my SSL keys expire so that was a message sent out to the fedi to alert the various nodes that the connection was back.

Happy new year!
