  @01Patriot1776 Back in the AOL days? My brother talked me into the chat rooms.. I did it as a goof and never serious. I met a lady who just thought I was funny and her husband was in the same chat room.? Became friends online. I met them and he sent me a lot of work.. lifelong friends

  I once was shopping a manuscript to agents and I got such positive response to it & this one agent had asked for the exclusive manuscript. I agreed not knowing any better & turned down other requests for the full (stupid me), but it was actually autobiography presented as fiction, about my real life AOL catfish and I used his (alleged) real name because main plot points were directly related to the name & its meaning (& also f him he was a catfish). So her response in the end was that while she was very into my story she couldn't get past the terrible contrived name I had chosen for the character & ultimately had to pass I let myself feel quite embarrassed for ever writing such garbage & I shelved the whole thing, but then later that same name was used in so many popular TV shows, it's like a real name lots of people have

  Damn, I haven't seen that since my AOL days. And even back then "the Web" and "Internet" were already taking over.

  A programmer built a database because software on a US Navy destroyer could not afford to lose its connection. Today that tiny database sits inside every iPhone, Android phone, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, and most people have never heard his name. His name is D. Richard Hipp. The database is SQLite. In 2000, Hipp was helping build software for the USS Oscar Austin, a guided-missile destroyer. The program helped sailors respond when the ship was damaged. If a pipe burst, it could find the valves sailors needed to close, the other valves they needed to open, and exactly where each one was located. During a real attack, this could mean smoke, flooding, broken pipes, and people trying to keep the ship alive. All that information was stored inside an Informix database. When the database server worked, everything was fine. But sometimes the server went down. Sailors would open the damage-control program and get a message saying it could not connect to the database. Hipp’s team did not control the server. They still got blamed because their software showed the error. Hipp started asking a simple question: Why did the program need a database server at all? It only needed to read information from the ship’s computer. Why could it not pull that data directly from the disk? Then government funding paused, leaving Hipp without contract work for a few months. So he built the database himself. SQLite had no separate server to connect to. No administrator had to keep it running. The entire database could live inside one file, and the application could read that file directly. If the computer was working, the database was working. The Navy kept Informix as its official system, but Hipp’s team began using SQLite for development and testing. Then Hipp released it on the internet. Someone managed to run a full SQL database on a Palm Pilot. Motorola called and paid him to improve it for a new phone operating system. AOL wanted it because it needed a database small enough to fit on its installation CDs. Then Mozilla, Symbian, Adobe, Google, and countless other companies followed. When Android began shipping SQLite on millions of phones, users found bugs Hipp had never seen before. So he spent about a year working 60-hour weeks to bring it up to aviation-style testing standards. Today SQLite estimates that more than one trillion active databases may exist across the world. They store browser history, messages, settings, contacts, app data, and countless other pieces of our digital lives. The database created because a warship could not trust a server became the database billions of devices trust when no server exists.

  @qaggnews @ColonelTowner @MarkEDeschaine True, back then the community was a lot smaller and better connected in a way, it was just us computer geeks, after all, just getting connected to the internet was difficult until Aol and Bix. I helped bring cable modems and digital set top boxes to the public but that wasn't until mid 90s. Before then, a fast connection was a 44.1Mb T3 at work, or a blazing 128kb from home, you could with some trouble get a T1... A fast CPU ran faster than 2MHz... (not GHz) The fastest link, mid 80s the Boston globe could get going from one side of town to the other was a T2 microwave link, 6Mb, so until Bill Gates started selling pc's to anyone, it was a close and honest community, not without the odd ones, but anti social was the 'uunet' red line I guess. How long did the gets() vulnerability remain unexploited? Years. People didn't break into other systems as a usual thing. That was 40 years ago though and things just aren't the same. The Arduino crowd strikes me as having some of the hobbyist sort of enthusiasm you'd see back then.

  230 people. One inflatable boat. New record. The dinghy was already carrying 50 people when it stopped to pick up more — around 30 fell into the water during the scramble to board. French rescuers watched it leave “buckling under the swell.” It broke the previous record of 165, set just last month. Here’s the number nobody’s posting today: total Channel crossings in 2026 are down 43% from this time last year. Fewer boats. More people crammed into each one. The smugglers didn’t lose the trade — they just made the math worse per boat. (ITV / AOL, Aug 10, 2026)
