Something we are doing terribly wrong in the #HPC community is having many of our major conference presentations and talks behind paywalls or not recorded at all. The hiding or complete loss of (now) decades of learning, knowledge, and history is something to mourn. 😞

1980: ARPANET (the precursor to the Internet) ground to a halt because a bad status message propagated, causing all IMPs (routers) to exhaust memory. The solution? Reboot all IMPs!!! 🤣🤯🏆 This incident was such a big deal that the case study of it was published as RFC 789.
