Yes, I am: I feel like 70 yo. And I look like that, too.
But if only fucking welfare state of would accept my age, and duly pay me my full retirement pension!
I deserve it!

My feed is toy reviews, fallout from Ghostbusters 2016, get rich quick schemes, and economic doom. All I really went to YouTube for on a regular basis was toy reviews by a guy wearing a skull mask and the Plinket Star Wars reviews. Clicked one Nerdrotic video that looked interesting and BLAM in came all the demoralization porn, from Kathleen Kennedy Makes the Muppet Babies Gay to Digital Dollars and the Great Taking.

As I'm getting old, I think I should learn Fortran and Cobol. Nobody question your age when they are looking for someone to code on these
Just say you know it already.
Besides being old garbage, I bet it's not hard to learn on the fly.

I (used to) know Fortran, but I haven't used it in almost 40 years.
I bet it's not hard to learn on the fly.
I don't know if it was a problem with the student or the language (), but my first (indirect) experience with COBOL was students in the computer lab at school crying because they had hundreds of compile errors in their very first program, which it took them half-way through the semester to write. (In contrast, we'd written and run hello_world in Fortran in the first session of the class.) I decided then and there that I would never, ever touch COBOL.

Yeah, I've never touched COBOL and hopefully never will.
Had to touch FORTRAN, twice. It's hot garbage looking back, but I guess was reasonable enough at the time. Anyway, it wasn't too hard to learn because the people using it just write math but have no clue how to write readable software, anyway.

Status: Found out a setting which I thought did not exist actually does exist. It is just that neither its name nor its description included any of the keywords I was using, and google returned various people trying to do a thing which the developers describe as 'Doing it Wrong' and I agree.

I had classes in both of those way back in community college. The COBOL one was particularly fun. It was a 5 credit course. On Sat. So 5 hrs of COBOL in one day. And I was working 3rd shift. It was so much "fun" to get off work, drive to school, and listen to the english-challenged prof for 5 hrs. Tho, I gotta say, him having a thick accent helped - since I had to actually concentrate on what he was saying. I was glad when those 6-day weeks went away...

@Tsaukpaetra Okay.
The tool is
ssh
The setting isControlPersist
, with a timespan value
The effect is closing the connection if there have been no sessions inside this connection for that amount of time
The thing people on google want to do is closing the connection if there is a session which is 'unused' by some metric when they are not using the control socket.

My Mom put herself through night school to get her college degree and one of her classes was COBOL. I remember reading her Intro to COBOL book and thinking it was much more annoying than BASIC.
I did get to spend a Saturday goofing around on the school's Apple IIs while her project group tried to get their program working, though, so I guess COBOL's not all bad.

MUMPS was used by a former employer which built a hospital information system (but I worked on the GUI part with VB6, so I did not need to write MUMPS code, but I could read and understand it).
Btw, that product does not exist anymore. It was discontinued - for business reasons, not technical reasons.

It's Ryanair, you'll probably find you've exchanged your seat for it and now have to sit in the cargo hold.

To borrow from Hugh Dennis, it’s not only the name of the company but the name of their cheapest sandwich - rye and air.

Mentally, part of me feels like I'm 18. Imposter syndrome; I know a lot less than I should. Also, like I should be able to do things my body can't any more. Mentally, the other part is tired, burnt out, and so over the idea of working (at least the kind of work I've been getting paid for doing for the last 30+ years), not 118, but maybe 80.
Physically, the youthful mental attitude — trying to make my body do things it can't — is a big part of why I feel older than I am. Witness tendonitis in my ankles from trying to dance like I'm 18. Also hobbies involving very fine muscle control that concentrates a lot of tension in my elbows and makes them ache.
