Note that this is about RAN (Radio Access Network) platforms, not the past tense of the verb "to run".

You haven't used trains elsewhere if you think Dutch ones are bad.

Try a few weeks of German trains. Sometimes no trains leave on time for weeks.

When computers fail here in the Netherlands, trains are just stopped until they can be fixed.

In some cases, trains can be ordered to drive "at sight" -- slow enough (walking speed, basically) to stop if there's something visible on the tracks that shouldn't be there (train, car, person, cow, whatever)

Containers fix this.

As long as the container bundles the right libc, the program should work.

All it takes is one small leak. Which seems to be what happened here.

Snow Linux was a thing way back in the 90s: https://archive.org/details/snowlinux2.2

The company behind rebranded to SUE.

That's what the original OpenID (from back in the LiveJournal days) was supposed to be right?

"Host your own identity"

I think this goes both ways.

More actual interaction between end-users and programmers makes the end-users better at reporting bugs and describing what they want (and at having an idea how complex a certain request actually is).

Because the multiple translations from customer wish to project manager language to backlog items are all lossy.

When does the silver arrive in Maracaibo? Early or late in the year?

Programmers, who knows what they're doing in there?

DOS programs generally were like command line apps today (but simpler, obviously). They did a thing, then exited. Or they showed their "TUI" (as we'd call it today), and when you told it to exit, you got back to the DOS prompt to start the next program.

TSRs were a special kind of program, that instead of telling DOS "I'm done, here's my memory back", said "I'm done for now, but don't unload me", so their memory stayed allocated/used. And you got your command prompt back immediately to continue your work.

TSRs usually hooked into an interrupt like the keyboard interrupt, intercepting a hotkey to re-activate the program (so you could browse your address book while you were in your (text mode) word processor; "kind-of" multitasking), or they offered a service to other programs (like the mouse and CD-ROM drivers).

There were all kinds of things that ran as TSRs. Virus scanners (hooking into disk write/reads), modem tools (showing "RING" in the corner of the screen when the modem detected an incoming call), note-taking apps, address books, you name it.

Despite being a German signal, DCF77 can be received all over Europe, except the northernmost parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland and for some reason, Crete.

Isn't that what (liability) insurance is for?

(if there's anything Germans like as much as bureaucracy it's insurance)

Every kWh your panels make from sunlight that you use immediately (or store "behind the meter"), you don't have to buy from the grid.

And not buying something tends to be cheaper than buying :)

Seconds per token is just fractional tokens per second ;)

Traceroute goes through `.ftth.glasoperator.nl` routers though.

Is it fully custom, or are they using a flavor of OpenStack or similar?

240 = 2 x 120, or 4 x 60 (or 8 x 30)

Wouldn't that leave ways to do "phone phreaking" style attacks, because it's an in-band signal?

I've seen people brag about it in their resumes, so I assume it helps them find (better paying?) work.

This kind of id mapping works as a mount option (it can also be used on bind mounts). You give it a mapping of "id in filesystem on disk" to "id to return to filesystem APIs" and it's all translated on the fly.

It's called us-east-1?

Llamas are hot again.

printf("Got here, x=%u"\n", x);

> the trains fail with current amount of public funding, I wonder if less funding will improve the situation" is not good logic

Tell that to the current government (and most of the previous governments in recent years).

You can't put money into it! Guess NS will just have to increase ticket prices _again_.

Minecraft ships it I think?

Tell that to the right-wing nutjobs who all want their "<country code>XIT"
