There's an easter egg in the SNMP Mastery book. But because I'm in a mood, I'm gonna share it here as a fedi exclusive.

Get a mib browser. I'll demo with net-snmp.

grab my personal MIB at https://cdn.mwl.io/snmp/TWP.mib. Put it in your browser's MIB collection.

Widen your terminal.

Run:

snmptable -v2c -c megadweeb snmp.mwl.io mwlBooksTable

I am unreasonably, foolishly proud of this totally useless thing. ​

And then there's this guy who built an entire rocker bogie car for his kid

and yet a trace of the true self

exists in the false self

https://pastebin.com/GyMJus46 And as long as I'm still remembering, here's the paste I did in response to the thread asking about learning the Unix philosophy earlier. Probably imperfect or tattered in places, but as something which saves me effortposting, a decent outcome I think. (ignore the warning Pastebin gives, I included a quote or two in there which is profane according to their filters)

For most of this year, @zwol and I have been working on a pretty ambitious project:
* to make a fresh release of GNU Autoconf, a crucial #FLOSS build tool that hadn't had a new release since 2012
* to get paid for that
* to help put Autoconf on a more sustainable footing so it doesn't have to get rescued again a little while down the road

Autoconf 2.70 is due out next month, and you can read my fresh LWN story about the rejuvenation & what's next:

Just finished working on a battery management system - my first stab at embedded development. Blocking Big Battery Booms! (with bootloaders)
