Absolutely fascinating comment regarding gears and coprimes. This is the first time I have heard of either.

My mind goes somewhere completely unrelated to the comment though: cicadas!

I believe it is a mystery why some species of cicada have have a 17-year life-cycle. Theories have included avoiding predation etc.

However, I wonder if the 17-year cycle (prime) avoids "even wear patterns" somehow in their DNA??

+1. I used this to set up DMARC and ended up signing up for their service. Only like ~$12/year and works.

No problem. It was a super insider reference to that game. It is a war game, and within the game there is a 'logistics' branch which basically produces every single bullet etc. that is ever fired. There are also 'facilities' that produce gasoline for the trucks etc. to drive. Much of the language you used in your post could have been taken straight out of the game. I knew the odds that you played it were slim but I had to ask!

You don't happen to play Foxhole [0] do you?

Because if not, the logistics Collies in SOL could make good use of a person with your talents. :-)

It's for the lolz. I laughed and upvoted, just imagining my kids someday lecturing me on crypto. Then I thought about creating a bubble for them and then saying to their faces "Annnnnd it's gone."

I currently run a PC Engines APU2 as my home firewall/router. Been doing so for years and I really like it, yet I am still an OpenBSD newb. When I ran a sysupgrade from 7.5 -> 7.6, I completely ran out of space on /usr and the upgrade utterly failed. Had to reinstall full system at that point. The issue is that my hard drive is very small and the auto format utility only allocates 1.8G to /usr. Right now, I currently have 1.5G out of 1.8G in use. On the OpenBSD mailing lists, a user asked a question that is virtually identical to the situation I am in – they are worried that if they do another sysupgrade, it will fail and they will need to reinstall. A potential solution was proposed here [0] but the process seems somewhat complex for an OpenBSD newb like me. Could anyone point me in the right direction to guides that would detail the process, which the person on the mailing list describes, that basically involves deleting /usr/obj and /usr/src and allocating that ‘saved space’ back to /usr? Thanks.

My uneducated one word answer: CUDA.

Ackchyually, they just reprinted Lightning Bolt for one of the most recent sets: Final Fantasy (just came out in ~June 2025).

5+ minutes for 8.8.8.8 to respond to a ping! Or am I reading this incorrectly?

The moment I've been waiting for: for a topic on HN to devolve into Barrens chat. This is going to be a great day. Zug zug.

Folks, this is it. I have decided what I am getting my family for Christmas this year.

I see a King Gizzard reference in the wild, I upvote.

Gila!

I would argue that, to this day, in most quarters, e pluribus unum is deeply engraved. It’s presence can be considered a true test of one’s metal. Any newly minted ethos just won’t do.
