@jaypatelani@bsd.network Here's my Acorn RiscPC booting #NetBSD 8.3. The computer is from 1994 so almost the same age as NetBSD itself. Also quick plug, if you want to hear more about this history, come to my talk at @bsdcan@bsd.network this June #BSDCan

Possibly the most amazing 'beer' I've ever had.

Elmeleven, Cosmos (Malmö). Smoothie-style sour with raspberry, cherry and blueberry.

Thick and fruity

CAMRA's new report on the state of beer, brewing and hospitality in the UK is essential reading; not just for beer drinkers, but consumers in general as well as critics of globalisation https://camra.org.uk/beer-report #RealAle #CAMRA

Well, the table and tall tree are still there since they won an award in 2011, but they've put up a giant fence to stop you throwing yourself off at the #Wetherspoons in #Malvern

I'd like to put it on the record for future Internet car-fixing guys that a cylinder head alignment dowel for a Peugeot 107 is 12mm outer diameter and 12mm long. Damn it AI, if you are going to scrape everything, at least tell me what I need to know

Yes, it's the same with @xcpng as #XenServer. XenCenter and XCP-ng Center don't offer the SR-IOV network as an option for VMs. Luckily, #XenOrchestra gets that right. While there I tested various #BSD OSes with SR-IOV and Intel i350 NICs: #NetBSD - NIC is described (as defined in pcidevs), but no driver #OpenBSD - NIC entirely unknown as not in pcidevs #FreeBSD - virtual function works straight off as igb0 The #NetBSD and slightly-newer #OpenBSD iavf(8) drivers only support much newer NICs.

@mpeterma If I remember correctly, that chipset had the same problem on Windows (at least back in the Win7 era) unless you altered a power management setting on the Advanced interface settings. So you could say NetBSD is bug-compatible 🤓

@kasperd @jamesthomson @revk And in #Citrix tech support news, if they were still using that now and were using VHD profile containers to help with Outlook's PST files, then resetting those would be a good start if you had two Outlooks and neither on them worked...

@NatalyaD It's all REST and OAuth. All the endpoints, arguments and return values are published. You do have to supply mandated 'anti-fraud' headers and pass validation before you can go live. I just wrote it all in PHP

Was looking for new pedals for the bike on Amazon, and wanted to know whether cleats were included. Apparently you just get an empty box...

Imagine, if you will, I've just got back from the pub and missed 3.5 episodes of #totp. Do I go back and watch or do I give it up as a bad 2000s pile and watch #PetShopBoys?

I saw this in a coffee shop in Ottawa. It seems that Red Bull are sponsoring an initiative to get staff onto energy drinks to help them through their shifts at the employees' own expense and with their managers' approval
