nini fediverse (I should have gone to bed hours ago, I didn't even do anything during that time and I have to wake up relatively early)

nini fedi (it's 5am)

To all furries who think that fops is just a cute version of fox, here's the truth:

it's actually the file_operations structure in Linux

int __register_chrdev(unsigned int major, unsigned int baseminor,
              unsigned int count, const char *name,
              const struct file_operations *fops)

does anyone know what the pinout is for the 8P8C serial port on IBM Power System servers (specifically it is compatible with IBM part number 46K5108, which is absurdly expensive for a passive adapter so I don't want to buy it)? it does not seem to be the standard EIA/TIA-561

good morning

good night it's almost 5am

I see lgbtqia.space has replaced the GeoDNS block for the UK on their CDN with something even more obnoxious.

Literally every image is now this, including custom emoji. Instead of media just not loading and me seeing the alt text/emoji name only instead, I now see this for every image.

matrix is not an instant messaging protocol

it just took 16 minutes for a message I sent to be received by an IRC relay, in no way is that "instant" (and that's not even the worst example, I've had messages delayed by multiple days or even weeks)
