Some mathematical observations in 2025
• 45^2 - yeah that one is a bit much
- (So also 2025 = 9^2 x 5^2 and 3^4 x 5^2)
• Σ n^3 | 1-9
• 40^2 + 20^2 + 5^2

While diving deep down a media product placement rabbit hole, I came across this, and had to stifle a giggle while humming a song from my youth a long long time ago ...

What MTAs/SMTP Clients support both:
1. DKIM-signing outbound mail (milter/etc OK)
2. Per-sender-address SMTP relay configs
From what I can tell, MTAs like sendmail, postfix, etc do 1, but not 2, while things like msmtp do 2, not 1.

Just to be clear since there seems to be some confusion. The tsunami warning is due to the M7.3 about 50 miles off the coast near Eureka.
The quake many in SF felt in the same timeframe was much more likely to have been the M2.5 quake near Cobb.

On final to SFO 28R on UAL648 (N19130) (20 mins early) w/ JBU1515 (N976JT) on parallel track ahead of us at our 10:00 for their approach to 28L (?) when both initiate go-arounds ~500ft just short of the runway.
Thought maybe <min separation and asked. Nope.

Even WiFi/Wired Network access is down. [ignore the part about "not to [expect significant impacts to] on-campus network connectivity" - that's clearly (already) out of date.

On our Linux systems, we run into OOM - Out Of Memory - events from time to time (okay ... every week).
For The Cloud™ I'd like to redefine OOM to mean something else resource-related: Out Of Money.

I kvetch about aviation fuckups from time to time.
15 years ago today, though, was an aviation success.
US Air 1549. Bird strike just minutes after takeoff from LGA, dual-engine failure, barely 3000' of altitude, no runways within realistic reach – just the Hudson.
All 155 survive.

Dear “Custom Systems Integrators” in my inbox.
If you’re going to tout “Thermal Design” consulting for my “AI applications”, you’d better have something quite a bit more than a manufacturer’s info sheet about their prepackaged “solution”.
