And #ARCANET tries to solve real problems for real people out there. It tries to avoid those fights that have served our opponents. It's not about GPL v BSD. Open Source v Free Software. It should be about solving real problems for real people that are NOT #greybeards. Solutions. Not. Problems. This is the way. #SoapBoxOff

Check out my recent #Greybeards videocast episode with Rob Lockard and Roger Cornejo - a lively discussion with two of my favorite colleagues in the #oracledatabase space. We talk about everything from hierarchical databases to why most men our age only have two true hair color options.

Am I the only veteran tech guy who now dreams about buying a farm and growing #OpenSource seeds to make a living? Far away from the next fad? Inviting young people to help and learn whatever wisdom we veterans can share? As a community of #GreyBeards with lots of knowledge in a lot of areas? :)

Still getting used to the #Fediverse. What'd the #greyBeards (elders) call us - i'd call myself a #fedinoob (a #TwitterRefugee 😅 ).

Apparently; in contrast to the tweeter, liking and faveing a toot is a matter of privacy - my #tootfaves(?) aren't public. This makes it more personal - the fave'd tooter gets a notification, and i get to populate my private "Favourites" list.

I like it! :blobuwu:

The internet is so decentralised.

Well. Unless everyone and the kitchen sink relies on one single DNS service. TL;DR Akamai edge DNS is down. Yes, fellow #greybeards, it’s always DNS ;)
