@TheGibson reminded me of this other one:

Yellow is the new blurple for trendy brands—just you wait.

Once upon a time, Linux used BitKeeper for version control. One day Tridge happened to telnet into it and type “help”, and used that info to make a program to clone the repo. This pissed off BitKeeper who withdrew the license. This pissed off Linux who wrote Git to replace it.

We have Git because Tridge typed “help” in the right place.

My mood this morning upon being reminded that people use runkit in production.

How to opt your site out of Google's new FLoC user tracking programme with OpenBSD's relayd(8):

(1) add this one-liner to any "http protocol" block(s) in /etc/relayd.conf, and

(2) restart relayd

> match response header set "Permissions-Policy" value "interest-cohort=()"

Afterward you should see this in the HTTP header response:

$ curl -sI https://my.site | grep Permissions-Policy
Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()
