One of our consultants actually wrote a migration tool (which happens to be open source), but the last commit on it was in something like 2011. You needed old versions of our Perl API and probably Perl. It was a mess. I don't know what ended up happening with that. I think I lost the case over Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Of course, Perl on Windows is just kinda a mess in general. -

@musicman No. SETI@Home is "paused", but people that ran it will have #BOINC installed (it is one of many projects that use BOINC), so someone wanting to participate in Rosetta@Home could just add that project in BOINC while they await the revival of SETI. (The B is Berkeley and I think the NC is Network Computing; beyond that, I don't know.) -

The last two years I have worked in version control full time, but have very little exposure to !git.
I am taking some advanced git training right now, and all I can think is 'What kind of control freaks need this'?
oh right, Linus. -

@musicman Mastodon instance hackers.town has a team for f@h that is probably about to break into the top 1,000 after just 2-3 weeks.
There’s also Rosetta@Home for those running BOINC (SETI@Home and similar efforts). -

@Nobody [LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1)] The modern ideas of event sourcing, enterprise service buses and things like RabbitMQ aren't entirely divorced from the tuple space ideas. -

elderberry has been shown to slow the spread of previous coronaviruses, but that just buys you time. -

@dublinux like most of Mastodon's toxicity-avoidance design decisions, this breaks UX for legitimate users much more often than it slows down Bad Actors, who just hack around it. The crippled hashtag search is a classic example. Bad Actors can just use a different fediverse app that has the fully functional hashtag search Gargron wanted to implement, but Mastodon users trying to find new friends with common interests are trapped on their own instance. Everybody loses.

#GS3 had a long day. He went to Washington and Cuba (towns in #Missouri) but no politicians came to negotiate. So now he’s tired and grumpy.

@lnxw48a1 I may have told you this, but now it's official...the guy started Monday.
We hired someone for the CentOS position...not in an office. So, there's hope for that for the Architect position. -

@musicman It is a possibility. My priority is moving to a place where I can see my grandkids regularly, but I’m not there yet.
