Re my last boost, great to have @nycki96 on the mighty #MushroomFM. She’s right, I’ve been lobbying for the return of Your Favourite, sorry, Favorite, Blend for a very long time.


If you are an Amazon prime shopper and are looking for one of the Zoom essential series recorders, they are nicely priced today. The H6Essential it's $239.95. The H1 same series just over $75.

We'll know that Rust has really arrived when Rust library developers (like me) can reasonably feel obligated to set our minimum supported Rust version to an actively maintained branch so many years in the past.

My favorite USB-C cables are on sale today. They support up to 240w charging and are 10 feet long. 6 foot USB-C cables are always just a bit too short. Plus they have a built in cable tie. I just ordered a few more for my backpack and around the house.

This is an affiliate link so I get a little bit of a kickback.

Die öffentliche Mobilisierung gegen die Streichungsbeschlüsse im #ÖRR der Rundfunkkommissionen nimmt Fahrt auf. Angeblich haben alleine bei einer Kampagne auf Campact 200.000 Unterschriften.
Diese finde ich allerdings dubios. Die einzige Forderung an die MPs: "Sorgen Sie dafür, dass das breite Informationsangebot in Fernsehen und Radio erhalten bleibt!"
Zudem ist völlig unklar, bei wem man unterschreibt, wer der Organisator ist.

Etwas Hoffnung macht mir das Interview mit Natanael Liminski, Medienminister der Landesregierung NRW heute im Deutschlandfunk.
Er betont, dass es auch künftig eine Meinungspluralität im #ÖRR geben muss. Zudem betont er, dass es eine ausreichende Finanzierung geben muss. Falls er dabei bleibt, wäre viel gewonnen, auch wenn er oft im Ungefähren bleibt.

Liminski sagt im #DLF etwas ganz Entscheidendes über den Widerspruch der Öffentlichkeit gegen die Reformen: in dem offiziellen Verfahren sind schon mehr als 2000 individuelle Eingaben eingegangen. Das ist gewaltig.

Bis Freitag könnt ihr auch noch Eure Meinung formulieren. Das ist zwar aufwändiger, als eine Petition anzuklicken, aber dies wird (anders als eine Petition) auch wahrgenommen.

#nachdenkzeit

Fahrradfahrer:innen oder Fußgänger:innen werden regelmäßig „erfasst“, „touchiert“ oder „übersehen“, wenn sie „plötzlich“ und „unerwartet“ die Straße betreten, dabei „schwarz gekleidet“ waren oder „keinen Fahrradhelm“ trugen. Unfälle „ereignen sich“, es kommt zu „Zusammenstößen“ oder „Kollisionen“. Auch der RBB titelte in einem Artikel vom 23. September 2024 mit folgenden Zeilen: „Radfahrerin von Auto erfasst und tödlich verletzt“.

Which music streaming services do you guys use, and why?
in reply to Mariia Sydoruk

None. I am not subscribed to any, but used to use Spotify and Apple music before. Spotify is everywhere and accessible, Apple just because I have everything Apple. But I am subscribed to Netflix so.
in reply to Mariia Sydoruk

Apple because I have a family plan, Spotify because it works with Alexa here, and I can get it for cheap as a student. I'm doing a lot more Spotify than Apple these days.





Buenos días. Sigo de permiso.

Sí, claro. Silba que da gusto. Por cierto, que están abiertos los colegios. No sé hasta que punto es una buena idea esto.


How to out compete any major tech vendor right now: work in the same space as their core products - but just don't put anything AI in the product.

They're all so distracting tickling their own bollocks with AI right now they've completely lost focus on their core products and real customer needs.



The Release Candidate (RC) of NVDA 2024.4 is now available for download and testing. We encourage all users to download this RC and provide feedback. Unless any critical bugs are found, this will be identical to the final 2024.4 release.

@cub80_appleby Not a problem! We encourage as many people as possible to test these builds, particularly as we get closer to release (as we are now), but it's not for everyone and that's fine. The more who can test it though, the more likely we will pick up if there are any issues

Včera jsem potřeboval zásah po firmě, která mi hostuje servery. Zavedli nově L1 podporu, která mi po vystavení ticketu ve 14 hodin odpověděla v 17, že mám restartovat SVŮJ router.
Cynik se nasral, udělal ticket na vedení a okamžitě vypověděl smlouvy s účinností od 15/10.
Management reagoval do 6 minut, okamžité vyslal technika to na jejich straně opravit a nabídli mi kompenzaci v podobě roku hostingu a konektivit zdarma.
To se jim ta úspora za L1 support dost prodražila (vykreditovali mi £2800)
in reply to Archos

@archos nechápu, proč si firma, která řeší z minimálně 80% firemní klientelu a rozhodně víc jak z poloviny ajťáky, pořizuje L1 support. Podle mě to odněkud outsourcují, ale do tohohle kšeftu to nebude nikdy fungovat. Tohle platí na BFU s jedním blogem na WordPressu, ale zkoušet "vypněte a zapněte router" nebo "zkoušeli jste to na jiném připojení" u takovýchto zákazníků neprojde.


I absolutely do not understand what problem this "fediverse:creator" thing is supposed to solve, or why it has a whitelist of domains that are allowed to say your name.

You’re chasing uptime because you’re concerned about high availability.

I’m chasing uptime because I’m not convinced the machine will come back up if it’s power cycled.

We are not the same.




Whoops, git 2.47.0 just shipped with a significant bug in the `git maintenance` subcommand that causes it to segfault immediately, because of a gap in the test suite.

The git project is doing an excellent job of responding to this in an exemplary way: fixing the bug, amending the test suite, and directly questioning their dev practices to solicit insight into their own process blind spots. And they're doing it all in public.

Well done.

in reply to Ben Zanin

And by the way, git-maintenance is a relatively new git feature¹ (well, 2020-ish) that lets you set repo maintenance tasks to run on a schedule, such as running `git gc`, more aggressive object repacking, even prefetching of remotes that move quickly so that your morning `git fetch` is already primed to run nice and fast, with a minimal delta. It's simple, very useful, and worth using.
