Age verification challenge:
Growing up, I used a gramophone to play my mum's 78rpm jazz records (on shellac, not vinyl). And was taught to indicate I was about to make a turn by sticking my arm out the driver's side window on vehicles that didn't have indicators. (It was on the driving test back then.)
@cstross
I remember both these things. -
@stevewfolds @cstross blotting paper soaked in inkwell and fired at the ceiling with ruler!

@cstross The elementary school cycling test?
That as well, but @cstross really is talking about the test that motorists have to pass.

It's in the theory test nowadays.

@cstross Our first TV didn't have channel buttons. You had to look up the channel in the Radio Times, find out how many MHz it was, and adjust a tuning dial until you got the best reception you could.
Kids of today, don't know they're born ;)

@cstross @root42 @annehargreaves they still teach those even now. Couple of months ago I saw somebody driving a car without working lights and they were using them. They looked pretty young too.

And what a fascinating back story *they* have!
@cstross @pheedbackPhil @Steveg58 @neil I can't hear the word without hearing the distinctive contact bounce.

@cstross I have actually had occasion to use those hand signals.
Driving a pool car from work, the indicators stopped working. Fortunately, work was the AA, so they could come and sort it in the office car park while we went to dinner...

@oblomov yeah I’ve been using fontforge, and it mostly works, though yeah there’s a lot of stuff for outline font handling that gets in the way. And at least the version I have seems to have a bug where it corrupts bitmap glyphs on save, so I have to keep reloading from the exported bdf and losing links etc

Sono miserrimi; di un livello talmente basso da far venire il voltastomaco.
Questa è l'attuale "classe dirigente"; accuratamente selezionata da un corpo elettorale che è messo addirittura peggio.
Voto per l'estinzione.
P.S. eppure Pucci, magari col libretto scritto da Lollobrigida :D sarebbe stato da non perdere.

@_elena I will make sure to give him a pat from you 😃

@iodomi It definitely supports all of that.
ZFS is available out of the box, can handle whatever raid setup you like.
You can either run your services with the out of the box packages, or with a little extra footwork, setup what FreeBSD calls jails to setup containers for them to keep them isolated from one another.
