There are few things I enjoy more than getting random reminders that @nfsn members are among the smartest, most creative minds out there.

.@johnjcook @trevortimm How is the headline of that article not “Facebook’s one weird trick for burying clickbait will SHOCK you!” ?
Prediction: Companies forcing existing users to buy new cloud subscriptions to get fixes will give “Old man yells at cloud!” meme new life.
Being mistaken for a British pub never gets old! But I’ll throw back a pint for your cause all the same. xitter.cf/camrakl/status/7351960…

Also, their support offerings are so complex they’re “afraid” of “a great deal of misinterpretation” if they write them down.
Just had @MariaDB decline to give me a quote for @nfsn. They don’t deal with “staff” & say I’m too busy & hard to reach to be in management.
@deedubze On xitter.cf/settings/account it’s at the top “Username.”
@deedubze You can change it, but not to @jdw.

.@kufat @nfsn Indeed. In my non-humble opinion, most new gTLDs are missing out by badly overpricing. The world needs more nearly free TLDs.
@jmoneyrocks21 Yes, that's exactly how it works. Oh, hang on, no it isn't.

Running an open SMTP relay is grounds for being kicked off the net these days. Why isn't this also true for attack-multiplying NTP installs?
In a rare field trip outside of the @nfsn bunker, enjoyed a great show from @joshrthompson and @craigyferg tonight.

I will know problems are resolved when urge to vomit goes away. That switch stack had almost four years of continuous uptime. :(
Not sure the level of glee I experienced upon deleting the freebsd6 site realm was entirely healthy.
Everyone knows @nfsn can't run native Rails, Node.JS, or CherryPy apps. Especially not all on the same site. Right? wtf.nfshost.com/

@unorigmoniker Use SFTP. In double-blind tests, prolonged use of FTP has been linked to irritability, bloating, and moodiness.
Finally made them download manual off their own site. "Huh. We'll try to get somebody who's heard of this to call you back… eventually."

Just spent an hour+ listening to @NETGEAR ProSafe support condescendingly claim a feature w/ an entire chapter in the manual doesn't exist.

Just moved entire new file storage array from test rack to production rack piece by piece with active test clients. No downtime. Cool stuff.
