Ich war diesen Sommer auf dem kollapscamp.de und arbeite seit dem daran, welchen Beitrag Kirche(n) in Kollaps und Krisensituation leisten können. Technisch als Standorte für solarbetriebene Notkommunikation z.B. über #MeshCore oder #Meshtastic aber auch sozial wer welche Räume und Ressourcen in welchen Szenarien zur Verfügung stellt.
Bei midi gibt es jetzt zwei Texte mit guten Impulsen dazu von Walter Lechner und Gabriela Hund

Anyone using #Tammy as a #Matrix messenger client?
What do you think about it? Why do you use it? How much do you use it? On which device type is it installed? What features do you miss?

So I've been getting a lot of spam calls today, so when one popped up I was like screw it, let's mess with them. So I answered, went "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH," and hung up. Then I got a text that said "Are you okay? Do you need me to call for help?" And that's how I learned I didn't have that person's number saved in my phone. 😭
So I guess that's what I'll be thinking about every time I'm falling asleep for the next 30 years.

Zmapovali jsme finanční motor řady proruských spolků v Česku. Nenápadná nadace, která nestojí o publicitu, mezi ně rozdělila již šedesát milionů korun a více jak dvě dekády pomáhá budovat antisystémovou opozici.pagenotfound.cz
We had to start charging the electric car from the grid this week due to bad weather and shorter days, but between this week and mid-April, when we got the car, we charged it exclusively from solar power. Six months and six thousand kilometers. Not bad.

The development journey that @fishbowler and I have been taking was made possible by a grant from @nlnet 🙏. The grant has now concluded, and we’re deeply thankful for their support!

Dear Liberal Government:
I understand that your Chicago Schooled brains may find this difficult to understand, as your whole worlds revolve around capitalist economics, but here's a little tip for you, a word in your shell-like ears.
The purpose of the post office is to deliver mail.
It's not supposed to make money! Charges and fees are meant to defray the costs of running it, most of which are gathered through taxes and apportioned through Parliament. This is not rocket science! Not everything has to be financially solvent! The returns from the delivery of mail, especially to rural Canadians, far and away outweigh the cost of service!
I swear to fuck, fiscal conservatives will throw away a $100 to save a dime.
Chat I think I've made it and become a Software-Visionary 🤔
For years it has been obvious to me that a snail-like arrangement of browser tabs would be superior to linear modes. It clearly guides the visual focus to the screen center, and you notice when your tabs spiral out of control.
After years of brainstorming a friend started building it: github.com/grubersjoe/tabsnail

Yep, it took. My log says:
skipping rocm gfx compatibility check HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0, so my override is active. That's right. On Linux, even my iGPU can accelerate Ollama running. so so happy about this. When will that make it to Windows? No idea. probably never.

Rumors of a Leica M-11V. V mean "evf replacing the range-finder".
At that point why not getting a Nikon Zf with M adapter. If you care about M glass and want good manual focus.

Four-panel comic by @sophielabelle about a certain nazi named Horst Wessel who might spring to mind given recent events.

Took the chance to suit up.
It’s a suit that was my grandfather’s and somebody, probably my mom or grandma took it and had it tailored to fit me.
libxml2's sole maintainer Nick Wellnhofer steps down, meaning libxml2 is now no longer maintained.
discourse.gnome.org/t/stepping…
It's hard to estimate just how many companies depend on this software and critical security updates to the library, so I'm certain many will quickly step up and offer sponsorship to ensure a fundamental dependency doesn't just deteriorate without proper support.
Any day now.
I’m stepping down as maintainer of libxml2 which means that this project is more or less unmaintained for now. I will fix regressions in the 2.15 release until the end of 2025.GNOME Discourse

Unter vielem anderen auch der Hinweis von @gabrielahund@hessen.social
Verlernen müssen wir auch die Selbstsicherheit, dass wir schon genau wissen, was andere brauchen, und dass wir selbstverständlich über die benötigten Fähigkeiten verfügen.
