talking with @b0rk earlier about the history of UDP led me to notice that TCP is substantially older than IP! TCP was originally developed in 1974 for use with ARPAnet (published as RFC 675 <rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc675.txt>). The earliest version of what is now known as IP appears to have been developed starting in 1977, with earliest publication in IEN 2 <rfc-editor.org/ien/ien2.txt>.

Meanwhile in Canada

A serious heatwave in parts of Canada is still ongoing.

I'm just grateful it's not snowing. Shoveling in this heat would be brutal.

Endoscopy this morning. I always get a bit of a beating with anaesthesia and I slept for four hours when I got home. Of course now I can't bloody sleep. The dog is also snoring next to the bed and apparently dreaming of chasing something.

The WAN network remains up which seems lucky.

Power's out, and has been for over an hour. I've got a Ryobi power pack thing that takes the same batteries my mower and leaf blower use; it's been doing really well running telly and router.

In social media, all ambiguity is resolved in favor of whatever interpretation is most malevolent.

I'm a reporter looking to interview freelancers who have seen demand for their work go down -- or shift -- in the wake of ChatGPT and all the AI image generators.

This is for a story about how freelancers, specifically, have seen demand for their labor change as use of AI has spread.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Something popped on the scan. Hopefully nothing to worry about but I have to go back on Monday for more fun.

Regrettably the Firefox snap in this instance is not ready for regular use. That's rather silly.
