LWN Weekly comes out early next week [LWN.net]

A reminder: the (U.S.) Thanksgiving holiday is next week. LWN's editors traditionally publish the Weekly Edition one day early on Thanksgiving week in order to be able to go join their families and eat enough food to last through the end of the year. We'll return to the regular schedule the following week.

And this seems like a good time

to remind everyone to check out Alice's Usenet Flame, the next time it comes around on the guitar:

Now it all started two full backups ago, on April 1st, when my friend and I went up to visit the hackers at http://shack.hack.net. But the hackers don't actually live on the World Wide Web server, they just go there to post their favorite hacks that they develop on their full 4.4BSDLite home boxes.
And since shack.hack.net has two one-gigabyte SCSI disks and no regular sysadmin support, nobody had run `fsck' there for a long time.
When we telnetted over there and saw the mess the cylinder maps were in, we decided it'd be a friendly gesture to run `fsck' and take the /lost+found files down to /dev/null.

There Yet Another Alice's Parody on the same server, called Alice's NNTP Server, and a cursory reading suggests that one might even be based on a true story. As, of course, was the original.

Y'all have fun now; y'hear?
