@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

@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

This upcoming slide for a talk might be one of the worst slides I've made yet to prove a point

A generic google docs slide, Title says: xml2rfc, content says "It nicely renders txt files and HTML/PDF etc for you!", and the black context is RFC formatted text that says from wikipedia "    Skibidi Toilet is a machinima web series released through YouTube    videos and shorts, created by Alexey Gerasimov and uploaded on his    YouTube channel DaFuq!?Boom!. Produced using Source Filmmaker, the    series follows a fictional war between human-headed toilets and    humanoid characters with electronic devices for heads.     Since the first short was posted in February 2023, Skibidi Toilet has    become viral as an internet meme across various social media    platforms, particularly among Generation Alpha.  Many commentators    saw their embracement of the series as Generation Alpha's first    development of a unique internet culture."

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

Bad and Naughty DDR4 DIMMs get suspended above the sysadmins desk to atone for their crimes

2 drr4 RAM sticks, suspended in intricate string tie (ram bondage I guess)above a metal bar

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!

A blue plastic panel but you can see the outlines of a mainboard at the bottom and 4 drive shapes "printed" into it via colour bleaching

@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"

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

Who are these turbo ham radio nerds working at embassies, and what are the transmitting most days on their massive roof rigs?

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

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)

The top of an aircraft indicator lights, however instead of the first one being a no smoking light it is in fact a no electronics light, the second light is that put your seat belts on light
