Okay so, recipe. Cut the napa cabbage lengthwise, coat it in oil and salt and pepper. Grill each piece for 3 minutes on each side. Chop up into little pieces. Make a Cole slaw style sauce (many recipes available online but I like mayo + mustard + apple cider vinegar in equal proportions) and mix it all together. Incredible on its own or as a condiment on sandwiches

At the advice of my farmers market I'm attempting grilled napa cabbage

Here's a photo of the meetup. I asked everyone to become invisible and they obliged. Love the fediverse

I'm at Portland Radical Pride (a cop and corp free alternative to Pride). My friend set up this art table!

@yunohost Hi, I was wondering, is there a way to customize or change the size of the Yunohost logo iframe on apps? For example, it covers up some key UI on some working (but not "validated") apps like calibre-web

Oh wow. So that really famous centralized vs decentralized vs distributed diagram that I quote above? Well, in one of the companion papers, Baran provides this iteration on it, which in my opinion is far superior and I'm going to start using in my presentations.

Paul Baran: also apparently doing the xkcd thing 50 years before xkcd

Okay it never really occurred to me that in the 1960s a crytopgraphic key could be literally just a single punch card that you held onto. It presumably was under lock and key itself!

Am I currently holding in my hands a physical copy of the exact paper that invented packet switching as prepared for the United States Air Force?

....maybe

Here's Paul Baran's RAND-published September 1962 justification for distributed communications networks summed up in a single chart. It's also the same paper where the famous "centralized vs decentralized vs distributed" triptych of graphs comes from. You still see this exact diagram, uncited, in modern presentations on the decentralized/distributed web.

New conspiracy theory

Every IMP (basically a proto router) on the ARPANET, December 1970.

literally all I want to do is read the collected RAND Symposia on Computing

Reading through transcripts of internal conversations at RAND Corporation (big cold war think tank) back in 1958 about the future of computers and programming and this.... it's too real

This is obviously what I should have called @365-rfcs

Louis Pouzin may be my new computer networking hero. His writing (in English, not his native language) just jumps off the page, and he always includes political analysis with his technical analysis. He understands that you can't do one without the other.
