A standout feature for sysadmins in #OpenBSD 6.7?

The additions to crontab(5)

1) Putting ~ in a time field picks a random time. You can also use it as a range 1~30 picks a random time between 1 and 30. You can use it for all fields.

2) Next up, the "-s" modifier before the command in the command field. Think "Single instance". It won't run another instance until the first one finishes. Huge. Think of all the synchronization goo we put in our scripts? Unnecessary now.

Spotify is buying up all the popular podcasts and removing them from the commons in order to drive you to their platform.

Podcasts have somehow stayed open access, built on standards, and just (mostly) work. Moving them to a proprietary platform just so a few people (ie: not you) can make money is bad for everyone who isn't making money. (ie: you.)

I would like to thank everyone who worked on the #OpenBSD 6.7 release.

Also the artwork is really awesome.

Hackers.town, here to transform your cyber dystopia to a cyber utopia!

While everyone is completely distracted by a virus, the bipartisan EARN IT Act is poised to subvert encryption under the guise of protecting the children

Little Gopher Client http://runtimelegend.com/tools/gopher/ looks neat and it’s written in FreePascal and Lazarus which is very cool

In the board game Pandemic, people work together to solve the problem.

In a capitalist reality, people fight over rolls of toilet paper.

Everybody, keep talking.

It’s very dangerous right now, not only because of the bio threats.

Oppressors win by making those of noble intent think they are alone, that they are powerless.

We have seen, here in the fediverse, that we are NOT alone.

Remember this: Keep talking.

Calling smartphone equipped teenagers 'digital natives' is a mistake because a smartphone makes you a consumer rather than a native of anything.

If you want a child to become a digital native give them an actual computer instead of a corporate controlled and curated consumer device.

#introduction Hi all! I'd like to introduce myself on h.town, since I'm new here.

I'm m4iler. Well, that's about it.

My hobbies:
Hacking
WiFi testing
Lockpicking
Being a walking HR violation ( @ryen 's words, not mine)
Doing the best I can in a chaotic world

If you want my behaviour, I channel my inner Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pearce. I talk shit until shit gets tough, then I take care of business.

If we could be friends, that'd be lovely! It seems I am following no one right now, so remind me, please, so I can follow you behind!

Good morning and wonderful Wednesday Mastodon!

May you do good work today, as the gentleman in this picture did.

My Z80 OS has been proceeding well

I have my own ROM monitor for RC2014+SIO2 and am working on a DOS now

It has FAT16 support and everything

Hi friends! I'm Accio ^^
I'm a #queer #disabled (#t1d #diabetes) #book nerd currently studying #math (#maths) and #cs at university.

My favorite genres are #fantasy, #scifi, and #specfic in general, but I'd love to find more books to like :)

Other things I like discussing include #boardgames, #dnd, #ttrpg s, #biking, and #geocaching

To be perfectly honest I boost more than I toot, but I'm usually down for a chat if you'd like to talk :D

if I produced limited physical versions of one or two of the KONPEITO tapes would anyone be interested?

@kensanata I love Abebooks and bought many used photobooks from them. It turns out that they're actually an amazon subsidiary (just like goodreads!) though :(

The sale of the .ORG registry threatens nonprofits globally by giving private equity the power to censor the speech of nonprofit organizations and to extract ever-growing monopoly rents from those same nonprofits.
