Thanks for that.

BTW, I've been hanging out at /. since it was "Chips and Dips".

I can't even remember how long ago that was... I started on /. in 2001 or 2002, UID is in the 473000 range :)
Chips and Dips: 1997

And I have a beard, but not a neck beard.

This place is more like the "old" /. and I like it here.

Yeah. I have low-grade anxiety that at some point dang will retire or something will happen, like when digg imploded and reddit got popular. In the meantime, I enjoy these caliber of discussions here.
/. already jumped the shark for me, back when it got bought around 2013. Around the same time that somebody forked the slashcode and started https://www.soylentnews.org/ which is somehow still going. It just lost its luster. I was glad to find HN after that.
