Into the rabbit hole with @fanf on where does my computer get the time from? I knew that NTP relies on atomic clocks but apparently, it involves earth rotation time and a lot of other data layers in between. An interesting read! #utc #time #engineering dotat.at/@/2023-05-26-whence…

looks like all my old link posts have broken too: they are now unclickable t.co hyperlinks
Tom Coates@tomcoates19 Aug 2023
More vandalism from @elonmusk. Twitter has now removed all media posted before 2014. Thats - so far - almost a decade of pictures and videos from the early 2000s removed from the service. For example, here’s a search of my media tweets from before 2014. xitter.cf/search?q=From%3Atomcoa…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Images before/around 2014 are still saved on Twitter/X's servers, however, the t.co links appear to be broken at the moment. The famous Ellen DeGeneres selfie from the 2014 Oscars is currently missing from her tweet. twitter.com/EllenDeGeneres… But the original file is still available on their servers. pbs.twimg.com/media/BhxWutnC… twitter.com/Accountabilabu…

a compact keyboard; most of the keycaps are warm grey with white legends, but the modifiers and special keys are black and white, escept for escape and arrows which are red and white; to the right is a Kensington Slimblade trackball, and below both of them is a dark wooden wrist rest
