Same as when the education level goes up. You know too much, I guess.

But nntpd is still out there. Rebuilding Usenet will suck. But it's not impossible. Start from the net2 sites again.

Old mail RFCs included an instant message channel. I'm sure I saw code in either sendmail or uw-imap for it too.

I like the fediverse, but the old ways are still valid for their particular payload.

I fear too many universities are businesses designed to fund seminars; and students graduating are whether an afterthought or an actual negative for them.

It was related to me that, because they want to keep their customers, one can solve any problem at uni - grades, minor victimless crimes, etc - simply by offering to take more courses. The only problem money can't solve is the one where the student has no more money, and it's over quickly after that (saw that one happen).

75% of American drinking water needs treatment to reduce particulate and parasites, and the treatment additive used to render the water safe is produced at a single chemical plant located in an area of severe flood risk -- which means that a flood could take it offline for a day or two, or damage it for weeks.

(Efforts to build a second site recently fell through due to ever-changing regulations. Of course they're stockpiling it in some mountain bunker, I'm sure)

The next Katrina could give us a brain-worms infestation via tap-water.

Systemd was built by a guy who wanted to work at Microsoft with the help of someone berated more than once for an inability to work with others and generate decent kernel code. These are your gods
