My technical blog got its first comment from a human I don’t know. At least I think it’s a human, but could be AI of course. https://klipspringer.avadeaux.net/the-java-native-interface-to-c-code/#comments

@oz1tmm@techhub.social Now I feel I need to correct the scene you are probably picturing: This took place in the days when moving a phone number from one physical address to another meant that someone at a telephone station (me, in the summer of 1986) had to disconnect one cable pair and connect another. So I was sitting up on a ladder surrounded by shelves of connectors, and the soldering iron was hanging in its power cord over one of the shelves while I was peeling cable ends.

@oz1tmm@techhub.social Yes, you’re right! I once burned a 3 cm² oval on my arm from a hanging soldering iron, and it definitely smelled like pork. Since I didn’t feel any pain at first (I guess because pain sensors are sparse on the underside of the arm), apart from a rapidly increasing feeling of vague discomfort, the smell of frying bacon was the first sensory perception I got. @ricardo@mastodon.bsd.cafe

Wow. Was it faster in the other direction or did it take half a decade to get to Copenhagen?

Nucleus to mitochondrion:
– You’re quite important aren’t you, the energy pack of the cell I hear. I expect you must be worth a thousand pounds a week.
– Not at all, actually. I just make 80p.

[You might have to read that out aloud to get the joke, and you might still not get it. I probably wouldn’t have if I hadn’t listened to the BBC In Our Time episode about mitochondria.]

If I was in the motion picture industry I think I’d be working at sound advice.

Since I recently lost my laptop computer (got it back after a couple of weeks), I’ve become paranoid about committing and pushing after every session.

@pixelate@tweesecake.social I know @standupmackan.bsky.social is fond of Linux. (Note: that’s a bridged Bluesky account, so he probably won’t see [!] your replies if yours isn’t bridged the other way.)

@cstross@wandering.shop I understand what you mean, but I’d say they’re simply databases. Spam generator is one of their many uses.
