It’s not all roses and rainbows: Thatcher was a chemical engineer, and the only thing she engineered while in power was the downfall of England as a world power.

For real though, the shortest license is probably the WTFPL:

0. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.

Might’ve used it a couple of times myself.

“I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” - Albert Einstein.

Snopes says this sentiment was actually expressed by Einstein, though perhaps not in this exact phrasing.

According to the Tolkien Professor (during his YouTube streams on the History of Middle Earth series) there was always the intent to publish the Quenta Silmarillion (the central tale of the Silmarils) as a First-Age story of the Elves, but it kept getting revised and rewritten and never reached a publishable form.

Until Tolkien’s son wanted to complete that piece of the legacy, and found multiple (sometimes contradictory) sets of notes and mostly-finished stories, and Editorial Decisions had to be made.

Being realistic, it’s not something I see gaining adoption, mostly because HTCPCP is a joke protocol and isn’t a complete spec. Any internet-connected coffee machine nowadays would probably go through a ZigBee proxy or similar, and talk some proprietary format.

Essentially. If the end user is being asked to make a financial outlay to get to the same things they did before, it’s unlikely that will go down well.

It should, certainly. But the original draft introducing the header had a typo, and now we’re all stuck with it.

Added a second meaning for HA, thanks.

Mm, added a few numeronyms: i18n, l10n, a11y, k8s.

Inserted to the list, thanks.

The database is domain-specific: here in /c/selfhosted, an acronym like IP (if I had that in the list) would mean something different to a database for (say) /c/legal. General acronyms like YSK aren’t included.

Thanks; inserted: HA, LXC, SAN

You make a fine point: it’s case-sensitive, so it’d only see PiHole. Which I guess is fine…

It also doesn’t kick in until at least five comments have been left on a thread, so as not to be spammy as much as possible.

Don’t mind me, just testing acronym detection.

NAS, PiHole, MQTT

Coffee may be an offence worthy of the Tower, but I hope my Services To Tea offer mitigating circumstances when my case is brought before the King Prince.

My following list; of note is Lisa Melton, whose bio says “Follow me and I’ll fill your timeline with boosts”. She ain’t lying.

Looks like some of the talks from last year were released on the conference’s YouTube, so: hard to say if the recording will be available. I’ll (see if I can) remember to ask on the day.

I’m not the type to go hunting for the Best Bean, self-grinding to a particular size, pour-over…

The basic swill is plenty for me; my current choice is Kenco Instant.

Excellent. I’m on Stage 4 on the Thursday afternoon: “Brewing Tea Over The Internet”.

Should be fun times, see you there.

I haven’t been exploring in the depths of EFnet in …many years. I’m confined to the programming-related channels I found in the Way Back When, nowadays: at the moment, #c is probably the most active and it’s almost all old-timers.
