Krásné dobré ráno mastodonští! 🙋‍♀️🐈🐶
Je suchý mráz. Svítí velké žluté kulaté. To je vám taková paráda! Jeho Lordstvo dostalo půlku vařeného vejce. Sir Artur kus rybičky. Já si dávám ranní kávu. Den jako malovaný.
Musím říct, že Archibald klame tělem. Vypadá jako roztomilý medvídek, který neumí do pěti napočítat. Ale nevím, jaké geny v něm dřímají. Občas se stane, že chytí stopu. Zavětří jako Bloodhound, nahodí vrtuli a mizí v dálce s čumákem při zemi. Tuhle ho zase přepadnou chrtí myšlenky. Letí jako tryskáč, nožičky nejsou vidět, překážky neexistují. Úplný Falco. A pak má chvilky, kdy je proti němu Rotvajler hadr. Kde se v něm bere to hluboké vrčení a vlčí dravost? Porve se s vámi jako zarputilý buldok. Člověk by se ho na chvilku i bál.
A pak sebou plácne na gauč. Kříženec lachtana, knedle, čuníka, tousťáku, kočky a brambory.
Vy si taky najděte nějaký objekt k prozkoumání. Jen pozor, jestli nemá ostré zuby. Aby vás nehryznul. 😇

Hier gerade: Ein Rücksturz in die 90er.

Damals wohnten wir in einem Haus, das seit den frühen 70ern eine Sechser-WG war und in der links-alternativen Szene Triers einen berühmt-berüchtigten Ruf als Zentrum allen Chaos, aber auch als Ort legendärer WG-Feten hatte.

Für die Badezimmertüre gab es keinen Schlüssel mehr, sodass man, wenn man ungestört bleiben wollte, laut Musik hörte.

Je nach Musik wusste man, wer sich gerade im Bad befand. Z. B. hörte Mitbewohnerin T. entweder Element of Crime, Ry Cooder oder Buena Vista Social Club.

Jetzt hat meine Liebste die Badezimmer-Musiktradition wiederaufgenommen und ich muss nun an unsere ehemalige Mitbewohnerin T. denken, weil meine Liebste Talking Timbuktu von Ry Cooder hört. ^_^

Erdrandbewohner

Das ist alles vorgekommen. Auch, dass während zwei Leute zusammen in der Wanne badeten, sich andere Mitbewohner*innen einen kleinen Tisch und Stühle holten, um zusammen Backgammon zu spielen oder zu quatschen. Vom Bad aus kam man auch auf das Dach vom Anbau. Im Sommer schliefen wir darauf und dort wuchsen auch die Hanfpflanzen. Du siehst - Intimsphäre war bei uns meist nur optional. ;-)

Agréablement surprise de voir que le site des bibliothèques de Paris a été mis à jour pour ajouter des informations sur l’accessibilité numérique des epubs que l’on peut emprunter.

Anyone using S3 (compatible) storage for incremental backups of Linux and/or MacOS machines at home? If yes, what backup software/tool? Open source preferred. My first unfocused research suggests to look at restic [1] and maybe just some scripting around rclone [2]. Any hints/links welcome! (Yes, this is part of my project to use local S3 compatible storage based on garage [3])

There is a CLI tool that lets you do common video and audio operations without having to remember complex ffmpeg syntax. There is no AI and no API calls, just old school pattern matching. It’s fast, works offline, and feels like video editing in plain English right from your CLI. For example, you can simply type:
```
ff convert my-file.mp4 to gif
```
And it will generate the ffmege command for you:
```
ffmpeg -i my-file.mp4 -vf fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos -loop 0 -y video_output.gif
```

Somewhere along the line developing Catima changed from "fun little hobby project where I can build an useful thing and have fun" to "oh God if I make a single mistake I risk 125 thousand people losing their data, I must not make any mistakes" and I do kinda miss the old vibe.

I mean it's amazing that my little hobby project got this many people to have just that tiny bit more privacy (yes, loyalty cards inherently are tracking but at least we reduce the trackers) but sheesh 😅

OK, I am a lot more impressed with Supertonic than I thought. It has its own text processor that does some uncommon context text-based things like phone numbers, technical units, and financial stuff, that other commercial AI TTS engines like Eleven Labs, Gemini, Open AI, and Microsoft Azure don't do. And plus, unlike Sonata/Piper, it's not using eSpeak as a base.

Flathub's "2025 Year in Review" contains many interesting statistics. I find this one the most interesting: Despite years of full support for ARM in Linux distributions and wild predictions, ARM still has an absolutely marginal share of the Linux desktop user base.

flathub.org/en/year-in-review/…

#Linux #desktop #Flathub #ARM

A screenshot that shows Platform downloads: 98.7% (426.5 mil) for X86_64 and 1.3% (5.4 mil) for AArch64.

Former Malaysian PM convicted for embezzlement

semafor.com/article/12/26/2025…

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was convicted of embezzling $539 million in state funds.

Razak, already facing years in jail for an earlier conviction, was part of a complex scandal involving the Malaysian financier Jho Low, who allegedly stole $4.5 billion from a state-owned development company and used the cash to, among other things, fund the Oscar-nominated movie The Wolf of Wall Street.

Well and there you have it.
Christmas is officially over. And honestly? It was a total flop:
I've been better off physically last year, even though I did a lot of sports this year I feel like I just don't have energy, am not even demotivated, but just, tired and don't get things done. The vibe wasn't there at all. If you asked me a month ago I would've felled it, and I do not know why that is.
I hope 2026 brings a better year overall, despite the name.
But now with the wining out of the way, I hope yall had a good, or fine enough christmas.

I'm still sometimes mad that sighted users are up to 8K monitors, or lower-resolution screens with insane refresh rates. Color accuracy is amazing. Bloom isn't a problem as dimming zone counts increase and OLED drops in price. There are resolutions, widths, inputs, and other features for almost any situation. Meanwhile, braille displays still cost thousands, and we're celebrating because we can kind of feel rough line drawings, on devices that still use mechanical pins. I get it, but still...

It seems like a big part of the problem is that huge brands haven't put any resources into braille. Samsung, LG, Hisense, and others keep pushing visual display technology forward--we have screens that can literally fold in half! Meanwhile, braille is still stuck using the resources of tiny companies to move forward. What would happen if Apple, or Microsoft, or Samsung threw a billion dollars and a team of genius scientists and engineers at braille display technology?

Den hast Du richtig gut getroffen! Diese überenthusiastische Art, wie die KI-Chatbots sprechen, die Illusionen, die auch bei Bildbeschreibungen gern mal, zuschlagen, und dieses erstmal nach dem Mund reden. So herrlich! Allerdings wirft die Folge auch Fragen auf, wer die stiftende Entität war z. B. Schätze das wird an anderer Stelle nochmal wichtig? Euch einen geruhsamen Jahreswechsel!

Home Alone II is the last movie that will run and will be the shutdown of Christmas automation proper. Directly thereafter, HKC Radio's annual Christmas replays will begin running - replaying all the live Christmasy content we did as a station. This will end on January 1 at 7 PM when the Digital Domain does its New Year's Day show, which we can tell you will feature Christmas leftovers. Sonic Synergy will interrupt this on Sunday, however.
