@Edent they are not free to the bank itself though! (I would like to point that I am not pro cryptocurrency at all here), but UK banking tends to just swallow the cost because it is accepted that they will, other countries don't operate under this assumption.
I assume because a transfer consumes resources on the chain you'd want to have some ability to make people pay for that permanent storage of data
@erincandescent It is slightly remixed from one of my favourite reddit comments of all time
@nicoduck when you really think about it, XML is the absolute most perfect format for the IETF!
Seemingly quite simple, however the moment anybody takes almost anything more than a cursory look at it they will realize that it is extremely complicated and requires a lot of arguments and agreements to work correctly. Which means it is basically irresistible to the people who roam the IETF mailing lists
@tef Security considerations: brain rot
This upcoming slide for a talk might be one of the worst slides I've made yet to prove a point

@year_progress not bad
@penguin42 it's probably both for lightning
TIL: Lightning Strikes and other loud noises can knock off optical polarisation enough that it has to be compensated for at high link speeds https://acacia-inc.com/blog/when-lightning-strikes-why-fast-sop-tracking-is-important/
@erincandescent very rarely does your SSH token have claws and fangs though!
I mean, it also does not have to be you even, you could have your dog/cat/etc be your SSH key
Today I learned, you can have a java(card) implanted into you if you wished to do that for some reason: https://dangerousthings.com/product/flexsecure/
Finally, a GPG/SSH Smartcard that I cannot lose (well, if I do, I have bigger issues)
If only Companies House had view/download counters for documents, It surely would be interesting who is having their accounts looked at a little too much
@bwbuhse I purged all DDR3 a long time ago, and the DDR5 stuff seems to be pretty good (at least better) with regards to failure
@RedstoneLP2 I did notice there seems to be a bit of a stereotype around who is liking/boosting!
@jonty nice, Big Steve probably does a better job than RBS at 3rd party routing SWIFT payments around at least
@jonty Can I CHAPS a mattress
To be fair most of the ones that do go bad end up getting RMA'd, and I assume at that point there basically put into a shredder or something so maybe this is the better deal for them, RAM purgatory
Bad and Naughty DDR4 DIMMs get suspended above the sysadmins desk to atone for their crimes
@NikTheDusky @owashe packets so strong they move the cables like the HV cables in arc furnaces
@asl Yup, I have a 64 too! Fantastic device, wish I had bought 2
@jadyn NAS says trans rights etc
heh, putting my Helios4 back together and I noticed that after all of these years the blue acrylic seems to have been bleached by the heat of the drives!
@jamesog LTN is a solid no-go airport for me! Worst airport that names itself a London one
The distance between Alicante (Alicante–Elche Airport) and London (London Gatwick Airport) is 889 miles / 1430 kilometers
Guess who missed out on an extra 150 EUR on the back of 70km between the two airports
@kwf I can imagine it's one of those things where every time someone is like "well I actually live in this region" (even if they are wrong) they just add it, the existence of a "England", "Wales" and "England and Wales" option is pretty funny
@livingshredder The British Airways website has a magic ability of failing to sell me tickets most of the time I want to use it, I have no idea how an airline stays afloat if it cant sell me tickets!
Enjoying this supplier portal's "whatever UK state" dropdown options
@jamesog oh man, good times. I assume that died when they moved offices

@yuka love a bit of Bryce3D style graphics
@Thayer Alright, how are you?
@asl I don't have a good way to do that at the moment, the best recommendation I can give is:
A) Look at your whois, and check all of the emails available there, assuming none of them have changed, one of them will be a valid login email (with a re-settable password)
B) At worst, email admin(at)bgp.tools from the same domain name and I might be able to help you out
FWIW, I've thought about the "forgotten email" function, but it's tricky to make this work without it being a pest to anonymous users who like to abuse things, A lot of what I have to build has to have a good answer to the "and what will the worst possible user do with this"
I hope this email finds you, no matter how much you try to run away from it, it will always track you down.

Anyone have a decent contact at Vodafone for dealing with colo installs?
They have some shit in my data centre and I want it gone.
This was inspired after I read about @brendangregg 's pam_happy_hour.c: https://www.brendangregg.com/Specials/pam_happy_hour.c
PAM Module called pam_purge where for one day of the year all authentication is unnecessary, this should help all of the hackers get it out of their system for the rest of the other days of the year
More cats, my phone camera roll is mostly cat at the moment
I'm in the land with a cat, therefore enjoy some cat photos
@IPngNetworks Glad it can help, yeah if you dont have PBR then xping is the way to go, if you have PBR then Pingo is a lot more feature rich!
Also... Public metrics when :) ?
New blog post!
Off the back of a NetUK talk I did, I've written up about the work I did for LONAP to help monitor latency/loss and detect problems on modern day internet exchange fabrics!

Who are these turbo ham radio nerds working at embassies, and what are the transmitting most days on their massive roof rigs?
@jesopo why does theology have all of the cool words that I've never seen before
It has been 0 hours since I have last wasted some fraction of hours on needing to add:
-o PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=ssh-rsa
to the ssh command on something, because I initially thought I had been locked out instead
@dlatchx I think I've only ever been on a single flight where smoking was allowed , and it was _wild_
@solarisfire hah, I mean, a lot of people still call TLS connections SSL connections, so I guess some things just never change!
Hey that's cool, I guess smoking on flights is now so long gone that they can just replace the icon with "no electronics" (aka something actually meaningful to a modern flier)
