As you read this, I am probably watching a storage processor reboot.

• Another worthy cause for donation/sponsorship: the Network Time Foundation.
• Really making sure the data’s gone.  (via)
• Sirius, for talking to computers like all the big companies are doing – but open source!  (via many places)
• Smart City.
• “Everybody“.  The section on a car rebooting gave me pause.
• int3.cc, hardware hacking.  (via)
• USB Type C.
• y = -x^3.
• The Worst Internet Things.  Seems like a cheesy list, but these things are really quite awful.  (via)
• The Humble Roguelike Bundle.  Dunno if any of it runs on BSD… but that is far more likely these days.
• 17 years of curl.  Same developer the whole time, which is neat.  fetch(1) is 18.75 years old, for contrast.  (via)
• The sad state of sysadmin in the age of containers.  (via)
• Single-page non-Javascript web apps, a proposal.  (via)
• A software engineer’s role traversal.  Linking for the end part: Ask your employer not for free food, but for the chance to create something that lasts outside of your employer’s operations.
