Laut einem Gutachten des Landesrechnungshofs wurden für die eingestellte Plattform 8,7 Millionen Euro versenkt. Für das Nachfolgeprojekt stünden bis Ende 2024 insgesamt Mittel in Höhe von 24 Million Euro zur Verfügung

Die App Digitales Amt, die erst vor Kurzem in Vollbetrieb gegangen ist, ist auf Mobiltelefonen mit dem Betriebssystem Android seit Tagen nicht mehr funktionsfähig. Der Fehler bei ID Austria wurde auch seitens der Servicehotline bestätigt. Schuld sei ein Update, das am Freitag ausgerollt wurde, der Fehler soll bald behoben werden. Auch Auswirkungen auf die Arbeit der Untersuchungsausschüsse hat der Bug, gewährt das Digitale Amt doch Akteneinblick.

Die vor allem von ÖVP-Seite geforderte Überwachung von Messengerdiensten soll in einem ersten Schritt die Metadaten betreffen. Dafür notwendig wäre eine Anpassung der auf Grundlage des Telekommunikationsgesetzes bestehenden Verordnung zur Überwachung des Fernmeldeverkehrs, hieß es heute auf APA-Anfrage aus dem Innenministerium.

Sixty years ago today, IBM announced the System/360, a line of computers that took over the computer industry. The big idea was that all the systems were compatible and supported all applications (a 360° range from business to scientific). 1/9

The new "Simple standalone #SSH Agent for #OpenPGP cards" (https://crates.io/crates/openpgp-card-ssh-agent) is now available as a package for #Arch Linux, by the way :arch: 😏

This agent offers a frictionless UX when using ssh with keys that are stored on OpenPGP card devices: No more ongoing PIN entry required! 🚀

@dvzrv has once again done amazing packaging and documentation work! 🥳 Thank you 😃

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SSH_keys#OpenPGP_card_ssh-agent for details.

Nachdem Microsoft im Januar bestätigt hatte, von der russischen Hackergruppe Midnight Blizzard attackiert worden zu sein, legen neue Erkenntnisse des Konzerns nahe, dass sich die Angreifer noch immer an Microsofts internen Systemen bedienen.

I hate apps that don't allow you to copy text from a comment field. It gives you a taste of the world without Larry Tesler and Tim Mott, and it's not a magnificent one

[Note: Tesler worked at Xerox PARC, Apple, Amazon, and Yahoo!. While at PARC, Tesler's work included Smalltalk, the first dynamic object-oriented programming language, and Gypsy, the first word processor with a graphical user interface (GUI) for the Xerox Alto. During this, along with colleague Tim Mott, Tesler developed the idea of copy and paste functionality and the idea of modeless software. ]

Das Problem lag in den Weiterleitungsregeln des HTTP-Servers. Hier war "/Verse" als Startseite mit einem großgeschriebenen Anfangsbuchstaben definiert, was dazu führte, dass die HTTP-Weiterleitung nicht ordnungsgemäß funktionierte. Nachdem dies korrigiert wurde und "/verse" als Startseite festgelegt wurde, funktionierte die HTTP-Weiterleitung einwandfrei, und somit war das ACME-Protokoll auf den jeweiligen Domino-Servern einsatzbereit.

Right now, I want to talk about the heritage of these input/output mechanisms. Why is it that punched paper tape and the teleprinter were the most obvious way to interact with the first electronic computers? As you might suspect, the arrangement was one of convenience. Paper tape punches and readers were already being manufactured, as were teleprinters. They were both used for communications.

It is time for me to re-do my old thread about the origins of "80 columns" and how it can very well be related to pretty ancient stuff, not dissimilar to "space shuttle and horse's rear end".

As you know, the default mode on IBM PCs is text 80x25. The limitation of 80 columns per line, also known as "80 column rule" is still widespread; for example, that's the rule for Linux kernel. But why 80? Why not 70 or 90?

The answer to that is usually "IBM punch cards are 80 characters wide", but things are more interesting than that!

First, the commonly accepted column width was supposed to be 72. American typewriters used to have just 72 columns, earlier DEC terminals supported only 72 columns, and even IBM punch cards had only 72 columns for text.

Second, yes, IBM punch cards were 80 characters wide, but why?

Fasd (pronounced similar to "fast") is a command-line productivity booster. Fasd offers quick access to files and directories for POSIX shells. It is inspired by tools like autojump, z and v. Fasd keeps track of files and directories you have accessed, so that you can quickly reference them in the command line.

The name fasd comes from the default suggested aliases f(files), a(files/directories), s(show/search/select), d(directories).

Fasd ranks files and directories by "frecency," that is, by both "frequency" and "recency." The term "frecency" was first coined by Mozilla and used in Firefox (link).

GNU Stow is a symlink farm manager which takes distinct packages of software and/or data located in separate directories on the filesystem, and makes them appear to be installed in the same place. For example, /usr/local/bin could contain symlinks to files within /usr/local/stow/emacs/bin, /usr/local/stow/perl/bin etc., and likewise recursively for any other subdirectories such as .../share, .../man, and so on.

This is particularly useful for keeping track of system-wide and per-user installations of software built from source, but can also facilitate a more controlled approach to management of configuration files in the user's home directory, especially when coupled with version control systems.

Stow is implemented as a combination of a Perl script providing a CLI interface, and a backend Perl module which does most of the work. Stow is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.

zoxide is a smarter cd command, inspired by z and autojump.

It remembers which directories you use most frequently, so you can "jump" to them in just a few keystrokes.
zoxide works on all major shells.

... he asked for a ladder, climbed up the generator and made a chalk mark on its side. Then he told Ford’s skeptical engineers to remove a plate at the mark and replace sixteen windings from the field coil. They did, and the generator performed to perfection.

Henry Ford was thrilled until he got an invoice from General Electric in the amount of $10,000. Ford acknowledged Steinmetz’s success but balked at the figure. He asked for an itemized bill.

Steinmetz, Scott wrote, responded personally to Ford’s request with the following:

• Making chalk mark on generator $1.
• Knowing where to make mark $9,999.

Ford paid the bill.

For decades, robots.txt governed the behavior of web crawlers. But as unscrupulous AI companies seek out more and more data, the basic social contract of the web is falling apart.
