 Sami Liedes | I was asked to share this amateur poetry here :)
*The Museum of Forgotten Hours*
In the catacombs of yesterlight,
Lies a crumbling crypt, a museum,
Where velvet ropes restrain the past.
Tick-tock teeth gnaw at willpower's bones,
Calendars vomit deadlines, a splatter
Of tomorrows smeared on yesterday's floor.
A flock of umbrellas ascends the sky,
Arguing with rain over who owns the air.
Porcelain flowers bloom, delicate lies,
Ambition pulls on invisible ties,
A puppet master without puppets.
Hamster choirs hum in corporate wheels,
Sing somber songs, rewinding the hours
We never spent.
Dreams waltz with weary insomnia,
A ballroom of mismatched dancers.
Productivity pixies pinch the purse of sleep,
The clock’s cold claws, like death's own fingers,
Burn daylight from midnight’s wick, iron grip on souls.
Success ladders stretch to nowhere skies,
To-do list monsters in nightmares prowl.
A curator wind reorders the air,
Paychecks plaster over soul-sucking sighs,
Papering cracks that widen with each breath.
We, early worms, lie dust-bound, unaware,
Swallowed whole by the vulture of time.
In the circus of take-more-than-you-give,
Where reality fractures and the mind clicks,
Juggling illusions, we misplace fragile truths—
Forgotten exhibits gathering dust,
We forget why we live.

| ners | matthewcroughan, Viktor had some questions about trust domains in SCION that I bet you could answer. | 11:47:50 |
| matthewcroughan | Such as? :D | 11:48:06 |
| ners | What they mean for net neutrality. | 11:48:17 |
 Viktor | not sure, I just get scared about net neutrality :D | 11:48:24 |
| matthewcroughan | They are called ISDs "isolation domains" and they are secured by a TRC, trust root configuration that is cycled and signed frequently by a voting process/quorum | 11:49:01 |
| Viktor | I guess most importantly, what would SCION mean in the long run for my single user AS | 11:49:15 |
| matthewcroughan | I think SCION probably doesn't impact net neutrality positively or negatively | 11:49:48 |
| matthewcroughan | It gives ISPs more control over the flow of traffic, but also the user at the same time | 11:50:14 |
| matthewcroughan | Since it is multipath you would just get two ISPs and use the available paths they give you right? That can only be a good thing. | 11:50:53 |
| Viktor | would it impact ISPs such as telekom that like to leverage there user base to make peering a profit center? | 11:51:11 |

| ners | Meetup.com has increased their price from $10 to $20 per month, so I'm considering moving our group to a self-hosted libre platform. das-g has already suggested this in the past, and this price increase is a nice excuse to finally do it.
Any suggestions what we could use?

I do wonder if we won't lose out on discoverability then, how many people found the group through meetup? | 09:34:51 |
| infinisil | Could maybe do a poll | 09:35:08 |
| infinisil | This would be the same reason why we're still using GitHub | 09:35:29 |

I do wonder if we won't lose out on discoverability then, how many people found the group through meetup? My anecdotal experience so far has been that very few people find the group through Meetup, because a) few people use meetup to begin with (many new Nixers register on meetup just to attend our events), and b) meetup's own discoverability is really suboptimal. If you put "nix zurich" in meetup's search, you can't find our group unless you know the UI very well. | 09:36:44 |
