@AndresFreundTec And a lot of persistence! Reminds me of one of the classics of the industry, Cliff Stoll's Cuckoo's Egg - "Stoll traced the error to an unauthorized user who had apparently used nine seconds of computer time and not paid for it" leading to a german hacker selling content to the KGB - 38 years ago. It is impressive (but uncommon) to see someone paying that level of attention to anomalies these days, with how thick tech stacks have gotten...

@jik@federate.social I had a membership for a while, and while many trustees properties are beautiful and well groomed - other than a few that are specifically "dog run" type places, I've never found a crowded one. (Plus I keep finding evidence that the state is basically empty outside 495 :-)

Sounds like Sega vs. Accolade, sort of (but sega *lost* that, in particular that "function" is not something protected by copyright. ) or was this later than that?

One of the highlights was a sandpiper - possibly a solitary? Merlin is dubious but we're in the right place for it to be migrating, maybe. https://www.flickr.com/photos/eichin/55276573093/ (the other pics and videos are the same individual.)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/eichin/55267409757/ Didn't see any of the usual cormorants or herons (or *any* waterbirds, which is odd for the Quabbin, though I'm usually not there in spring time, it's more of a summer thing)

@cstross@wandering.shop heh, I've been wondering if there'd be a trackpoint for framework soon enough for my next thinkpad to be a framework... didn't think lenovo would sneak up on it from the other direction
