From #trilema: 2019-12-31 through 2020-01-05.

BingoBoingo deployed Qntra DNS service to redundant sites, until the whole fleet ran aground a few days later. Initial reporting suggested the process of propagating records between NSD instances was vulnerable to clock skew.

Diana_coman figured it wasn't the start of a new decade because the AD timeline starts at 1.

MP pointed out that seemingly impossible choices of the sort diana_coman was facing in computer graphics are how you know you're getting somewhere.

To assorted lulz with a side of rage, MP brought out a recent Reddit thread wherein a noob's bewilderment on discovering Trilema was answered by Bitcoin Power Ranger Gregory Maxwell with a pile of lies and projection. The trouble of reading with fixed codecs was contemplated, as well as the phenomenon of the inept attempting to emulate institutions they haven't understood while thinking their own superior.

Not unrelatedly, MP stumbled on a quirk of PHP, ascribing it to mental failings of the language's originators.(ii)
