I'm glad you shared. I like donating boxes as the actual cookies are too tempting with me mostly working from home. Donated 8. I hope they get to the goal and a great trip.
Forty years ago, 21 people gathered for the first meeting of what became the IETF. Today, nearly 8000 IETF participants from around the world collaborate in more than 100 working groups and every day billions of people use technologies developed in the IETF. https://www.ietf.org/blog/ietf-40/
That was a terrific meeting! Those who missed it should catch the video later.
Happy Halloween!π

These two are brothers and they discovered a new way to be nearby each other but (probably) avoid getting into a scuffle

Why don't all the Democratic Senators throw sand in the Senatorial gears? Are they clueless or complicit?
One senator can block the confirmation going to vote. Yes, they can't do anything once it goes to vote. We need our senators to get in more good trouble (for months now)
Why don't Senators block these confirmation votes?
I see Schiff is blocking the DC US Attorney. But they need to block more
The ANRW paper submission deadline is in one month β please consider submitting your best applied networking research results!
I hope it was the happiest of parties, so well deserved. I can't enumerate all the ways that NLnet Labs works and people have mattered to me, there are so many, in DNS standards, DNS privacy, stacks used, friendships...I hope this just the first quarter of an NLnet Labs century (at least).
Lazy question: could you share a link to where the exhibit is traveling? Thank you!

Academics of all stripes should actively oppose the illegal order to reduce indirect cost reimbursements. This order violates both federal regulations and the Administrative Procedures Act. Implementation would hurt scholarship throughout all disciplines.

I have one of these and it's great for many occasions and temperatures
Androgynous looking weatherworn classically draped statue with one arm raised. Blue sky background. Location is on the Moon Walk in New Orleans. The raised hand is draped with bright metallic Mardi Gras beads in silver, green, purple...dangling down, clearly more recent than the statue because there is an older necklace that has mostly broken apart and the others look quite new
FWIW close to Bourbon Street, along the Mississippi, there's a weatherworn statue dedicated to immigrants. That's the thought: person of marble, white because, duh, they're marble. People have draped the statue's raised hand in dangling bright party beads. I took this photo a couple weeks ago.
