I'm not ready to give up on twitter, but enough of the people I care about following here have joined Mastodon to make it interesting to me to do so as well, so I'm now in the fediverse at https://t.co/gYBJXTe8Nx.

@awatkins1966 Most of those are bringing in upstream fixes for bugs that others found (though they may have used AI to find them - our Assisted-by or Generated-by tags only reflect our portion of the work, not upstream’s).

@JenLRossman This was Spring 2020, so some of these shows didn’t get to their planned season finales, and just got “final episode that finished filming before COVID lockdown” with storylines finished up in the next season.

[Alan Coopersmith @[email protected] @alanc]

@JenLRossman This was their 100th episode, thus all the callbacks.

@hasegaw @hisaotsu I would also expect that years of testing in private before anyone outside got to experience it was also a big help. But folks who were actually involved would know much better than I.

@hasegaw @hisaotsu I wasn’t really involved with ZFS development - I was working on the X server at the time. From what I know, having baked in the assumption from day zero that hardware was unreliable and software had to be ready to handle it played a big role.

@Locopells @JenLRossman And Kellog on Continuum

@JenLRossman If you’ve not seen it yet Black Lightning aired an episode “Earth Crisis” the same week to set up their part of the crossover event.

@JenLRossman You could not have known then…

[Jennifer Lee Rossman @JenLRossman]

I am not super excited about Lila having the code name harbinger

[Alan Coopersmith @[email protected] @alanc]

@JenLRossman @StephensTrek Basically, but pitched as a spinoff instead of season 9.

[Alan Coopersmith @[email protected] @alanc]

@JenLRossman A legal drama about lawyers for people with powers, where they are trying to hide that one of the lawyers has powers? Sort of a Super-Suits?

@steffen_moser @awatkins1966 @Oracle @SolarisUpdate @opensolaris @OracleSolaris @AMD @AMDServer @jomasoft We have, on both the ZS-11 Storage Appliances (announced last June) and on the E6 shapes in the Oracle Cloud. I don’t know about compatibility with other vendors hardware though.

@JenLRossman It was the 150th, hence all the callbacks to the previous 149 episodes.

@JenLRossman She’s done a bunch of voice work, and I’m old enough to remember her from the 80’s sitcom “Dear John”, but you probably saw her most recently as one of Londo’s wives on B5.

[Alan Coopersmith @[email protected] @alanc]

@carlosyenrac @JenLRossman We first saw Nora at her parents wedding during last year’s crossover.

@JenLRossman The Hall of Doom

[Alan Coopersmith @[email protected] @alanc]

@JenLRossman “Vigilante” was the 99th episode of Arrow, so you can expect the next episode to be… um, extra special.
