@http40415 That would be a great exercise! Maybe some day, but time is scarce for the foreseeable future.

@simmons any plans to update cafbit.com/post/tokio_int… this is the only post suitable for folks already familiar with libuv, Boost.Asio, IOCP, kqueue, epoll but difficult to wrap around std::task, std::future etc. tokio source code is not exactly readable. but seems to be only way

Wow, the first 20 minutes of this video has network legends like Bob Metcalfe and Vint Cerf cracking jokes about why the Zoom doesn't work. Best technical difficulties ever. :) youtu.be/ZhecOHQ3jrQ

@CertifyMedical @voipms In case it helps... I was getting 403 Forbidden on the API until I changed the HTTP User-Agent header to something other than the default, then it started working. I guess "Python-urllib/2.7" looks suspicious to the new defenses.

@voipms We are not seeing any success with the API endpoint. We try every ten minutes continuously and have not received a successful reply since 2021-09-17 15:12.

We have one more service up and running: API is now fully operative and ready to use. We would also like to remind you that, although our recommended servers are up and running properly,

Happy 40th birthday to the IBM PC! What a strange journey it's been. os2museum.com/wp/the-ibm-pc-…

After needing for years to close a Wells Fargo LoC, but failing to find a low-friction way of doing so, I'm absolutely delighted they've finally decided to make this easy. ;) cnbc.com/2021/07/08/wel…

@SlaunchaMan I don't actively maintain that code, but I did just dig up an old phone that still had the app, and it seems to still authenticate to Mojave and Catalina, as far as I can tell. github.com/simmons/valenc…

@saleemrash1d @zmanian I'd like to develop one, but life keeps putting progress on hold for long intervals. :( Hopefully soon I can at least get my SCTP impl spruced up and finished.

furiously refreshing mozilla's github hoping that a fully-formed rust implementation of webrtc will appear

@templedf It's like it's wired to the luminance pin instead of the composite pin. You could confirm with a multimeter. Does this cable have a separate chroma RCA jack that's not connected?

Oh, the thrills and disappointments. My C64 still works! But my 1541 and 1541-II seem to be dead. They make noise, but the 1541 never responds, and the 1542-II fails to read. My video cable also appears to be B&W now. #20GOTO10

With all the bad news these days, it puts a smile on my face when an inspiring article like this comes down the feeds. :) quantamagazine.org/graduate-stude…

RIP Chuck Peddle, designer of the MOS 6502, the chip on which I learned machine language programming and how computers *really* work. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Ped…

Today I walked around the former site of Bell Labs in Manhattan, where the idea of representing information as 1s and 0s was conceived (among many other incredible accomplishments) thus ushering in the modern information age.

I sometimes joke that with layer proliferation, you'll someday open your phone to find a whole Internet inside, complete with BGP routing. And then I see this. projectcalico.org/why-bgp/ Granted, it's an SDN for clusters and not for phones... yet. ;)

Hello again, RustConf!

@templedf Not just in Pascal class? :)

I was apparently born with an aura of David. All my life people have mistakenly called me David instead of Daniel. Often in the most egregious ways. I've decided to start cataloging it to Twitter. I was just #Davided as I was introduced in a business meeting.

The lab somehow had my very first computer -- a relatively rare model on which my 9-yr old self learned to program.

It's a UNIX system! I know this!

I spent the afternoon at @mediarchaeology in Boulder, where you can actually play around with all the vintage computers in their collection. I think I want to move in. 😀

@DebugSteven If the stars align I might swing by for one, but scheduling gets crazy around the holidays so I know not to commit. I confess to voting for the last item just to see the results. ;)

@zacstewart I looked at rustun a while back, but it used the fibers crate (by the same author) as an executor, and I was unsure how well it would integrate with Tokio-oriented code.

@simmons Cool! I implemented a simple STUN crate that I needed for comm, but I think rustun is better designed and more compete by now.

@simmons I watched your talk on WebRTC in pure Rust. Nice work! I'm interested in using this for my project, comm. How could I help you? github.com/zacstewart/comm
