NFS at 40: Remembering the Sun Microsystems Network File System (NFS). NFS remains a fundamental technology for today’s distributed computer systems. The 40th anniversary of NFS was recently celebrated at the MSST Conference in Santa Clara, CA, in September 2025. Happy 40th birthday NFS. I'm sure Unix geeks and sysadmin knows all about NFS tech.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell Interesting. Would you call a situation where every city provides services to citizens a "competitive market"?

web design is a CSS-pool of hacks

@evan Yes, but democracy, if it has markets, also requires markets to be competitive, lest powerful actors get so powerful that democracy itself is functionally lost.

I do want to say, however, that crafts people at the very least should be able to offer their wares for sale.
The worst aspects of the Internet come from the centralized commercial platforms. We could have a world of cities, providing Internet access, web, hosting services and online storage and processing.
They could be organizing in the same way the fediverse is. Every resident and local business gets access.

@ShaulaEvans This folding magnifying glass. It's compact and invaluable when you need to ready tiny text at the limit of your unaided sight. Especially with poor lighting, in a hurry, or under stress.

It's 4PM already... I really need 90 minute hours for the rest of the month.

A lot of eBay sellers are now pushing refurbished gaming PCs with Linux preinstalled. The usual suspects are Batocera, Bazzite, or Nobara.
Why? Because Microsoft pulled the plug on Windows 10, and Windows 11 is… let’s say not a compelling gaming upgrade. Linux runs most PC games just fine now, and in plenty of cases it actually performs better. Awkward.
It’s going to get more interesting once the Steam Machine shows up. A whole bunch of people are going to have the same realization at the same time:
“Wait. I don’t actually need Windows. And I definitely don’t want to throw away my old PC. I’ll just put Linux on it.”
Others will look at the Steam Machine price and think, “Or… I could just build this myself.”
And then there’s the refurbished route, which is already happening. eBay is absolutely full of mini-PCs for under $200. Slap Linux on it, call it a ‘console’, and suddenly that dusty office computer has a second life.

Friday before the code freeze. Time to land all the breaking changes!
