So now it became clear that Ukraine government lied about whole thing regarding crypto donations, FTX and "converting" money for army needs. Blockchain told us completely different story.

Take a look at https://etherscan.io/address/0x88ef7bf4e94d9c6a4615e5a9f32ea2d2f141f2e9 This address received more than $30 millions in stablecoins from FTX and around $7 millions from official government crypto donations. And seems that its private wallet which active from the start of war till now.

The mass extinction of UNIX workstations

Back in the '90s and very early 2000s, a whole market segment of computers existed that we don't really talk about anymore today: the UNIX workstation. They were non-x86 machines running one of the many commercial UNIX variants, and were used for the very high end of computing. They were expensive, unique, different, and quite often incredibly overengineered

Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with a slow Internet connection to see who they really are.

I was recently reminded of the Toledo family's unique outsider-engineering computer, the Biyubi: http://www.biyubi.com/eng_principal.html

It was never really a "success" but they accomplished rare feats in building an entire computing system and software for it entirely independently within their family.

Although the project is largely dormant today, the eldest son, Oscar, publishes work on vintage computing projects on his own website still: https://nanochess.org/

@atomicpoet I think you mean:

Facebook: Old people who don't know why they hate computers

Mastodon: Old people who know exactly why they hate computers

In other news today, @Raspberry_pi@rasberrypi.social found itself on the receiving end of a fusillade of critical toots from people who hold them at a higher standard of ethics than they themselves can *ever* hope to live up to.

Please #boost, I'm a glutton for punishment. XD

A training montage of me, except I never get stronger or better and just continue to suck throughout.
