"Moon bags" in Japan refer to stylish, crescent-shaped crossbody or shoulder bags, often with a sleek, structured design or inspired by Japanese aesthetics like minimalism and art, made from materials like leather or unique Japanese textiles, serving as fashionable, practical carriers for daily essentials. They're a trend focused on a curved, half-moon silhouette, popular for their modern look and versatility in carrying essentials hands-free. Also, perfect for the Cadence Braille displays. I'll be using one in the future to avoid my mishap again.

✔ Say you search for something and there's a list of smart results.

You have a toggle that enables something like 'strict keyword matching' - which means any result not having those keywords will be dealt with.

👀 Catch: Keep in mind that often search results can be indirectly related to what you looking for without containing those keywords.

Question is, how would you like them dealt with?

So installing Windows 11 LTSC alone did actually fix most of the Asus Driver issues I had. Wifi, bluetooth, and audio/speaker drivers work again. Still had to load the drive driver at installation, but well that was all. Glad I actually didn't have to bloat it with that stupid My Asus app and to have a suitable Laptop again. It's weird, I could've sworn it had 32 GB of Ram but can only see 16. Well I guess my brain is just rotting away...

Friend: Ugh.

Me: What now?

Friend: This bank app. Ugh!

Me: What about it?

Friend: It says the password is weak. My memory is weak too, let me keep this password.

Me: My friend, let me introduced you to KeePassXC, a free and opensource password manager for Windows/Linux/macOS desktop and Android (KeePassDX/KeePass2Android) app. There is also KeePassium for iOS which is free and has a pro version too. You can do cloud sync if you want.

Friend: Naa. That is too much work.

Me: 😶

I need a voice chat application for Linux so my kids dont have to scream around the flat when they play luanti.
Is mumble still the way to go or are there other open source alternatives you have tried and think they are good?

What about selfhhosting a TeamTalk server? Was quite the go to in my blindie bubble for years, feel like many have ditched it for Discord at this point, including me, but still works great and simple. There are server hosting providers, but I think you'd rather setup thhe server yourself, there are management scripts and all to do it, but I guess it's not that hhard without either.

In 1991, a uni student from Finland started a "hobby" project because he couldn't afford to pay expensive Unix license that could run on a commodity hardware. At the time, he told on the mailing list that his project wouldn't be anything "big or professional."

It turned out that he was totally wrong.

Happy 56th Birthday to the creator of Linux kernel and git, Linus Torvalds! May you live healthy and happy forever. Thank you for all your hard work and providing us employment and keep it FLOSS😊

My laptop is set up about six feet away from the nearest wireless access point. For various reasons, I can't use Ethernet in the part of this house where I am most of the time.

There is no good reason why I am seeing latency spikes up to 200 MS, not to a remote server in Australia, not to my first internet hop, not even to my local router, but the access point itself.

I HATE WIFI!

Time for spectrum analysis and junk, I guess.

Wie zu erwarten und von mir schon im Vorfeld kritisiert war der Barrierefreiheitsvortrag beim #39c3 ganz großer Unfug und voller fachlicher Fehler, die für Inklusion eher schädlich und teilweise sogar Ratschläge für illegales Verhalten sind.

Wir machens besser, führen Details aus und stellen quasi alles richtig. Heute 17:00 live auf Twitch mit einer Reaction bei @bommel: twitch.tv/bommel

Krásné dobré ráno mastodoňátka! 🙋‍♀️🐶🐈
Sluníčko tu ještě ráno bylo! Vážně! Celé červené se vylouplo na svět. S Lordem Archibaldem jsme je přivítali. Pak se odněkud vzaly mraky a hodily na něj deku. Místo toho fouká zase ostrý studený vítr, je šedivo a občas kolem prolétne malinký bílý osamocený drobeček. No nic. My si ten den rozsvítíme jinak. Jeho Lordstvo bedlivě sleduje dění v kuchyni. Potomci si chystají snídani a tudíž je jisté malinké procento naděje na získání něčeho dobrého. Sir Artur se oddává studiu ornitologie u zasypaných krmítek. Obávám se, že i on se opájí nadějí na 'kousek něčeho dobrého'. Přede mnou stojí talíř s neubývající zásobou cukroví, sušeným ovocem a voňavá káva. Takže také cosi dobrého. No a vám přejeme ať si v dnešním dni naleznete cokoli, co vás učiní šťastnými. 😊

Buenos días.

Cosas que no interesan a nadie.

En un rato tengo que ir a una mierda centro comercial a comprar unas mierdas de regalo para el amigo invisible de fin de año.

Apunte para el año que viene.

Cortarle los huevos al primo de Romina y a mi suegra cortarle la coleta como vuelvan a decir de hacer esta mierda.

Ayer se acordaron del amigo invisible y me han jodido el domingo, por que si no lo hago hoy entre semana me es imposible ir a comprar nada.

Relax 😎! GPG is not OpenPGP!

Yesterday, vulnerabilities were published gpg.fail but they don't affect #deltachat or other #chatmail clients because

A) We never used #gnupg for anything; we use the modern #rustlang #openpgp implementation @rpgp, security audited multiple times.

B) #openpgp is fine, as modernized in #RFC9580, which already warns against several #gpgfail issues (gpg didn't implement that spec)

Please spread the word that #gpg is not #openpgp ... Thanks! #39c3

Delta Chat (39c3)

@jan once details are published, and #39c3 is over, well take another look. But note that #deltachat's usage of #openpgp is intentionally minimal. #Gpgfail is a lot about failures of signature verification, and parsing problems in the gpg c-implementation but #deltachat doesn't use these mechanisms or code at all. The @rpgp folks are still studying the details, and there might be issues, so maybe also follow them for more details. Again, this doesn't affect deltachat as things stand.

OK, this is genuinely scary. It's a picture of me, aged 5. It was taken in 1960. It was scanned and uploaded to Google Photos in 2002. No one has told Google where it was taken. But the map, bottom right, is correct.

Obviously, in 1960, my father's pre-war Exakta camera did not have GPS. Could you identify, from that picture, exactly where it was taken?

Google can.

A black and white picture of a small, anxious boy with blond hair, sitting on a stony beach. At the top of the beach, on the grass, a line of cars is visible. The picture is on a Google Photos page, and at the bottom right of the page is a map which shows the exact location where the photo was taken -- and it's right.

Yo 2025 kinda sucked ass, both globally and personally.
The world is on fire, people are leaning towards far right, hate is the new norm, I lost my best friend, and I felt defeated multiple times like never before.

My plea for 2026 is to be the positive change I want to see in the world, in whatever form I can manage to be, by pushing ethics and morality into software and products, by loving more openly and fiercely, and by punching Nazis in the face
