I've used linux for years, but lately, there've been some serious issues with very basic functionallity. * ssh to AIX machines is currently broken in debian (bug 1103392). * rsync --link-dest is broken (Various bugreports, ex. 1106088. I need it for hardlink backups). Known since like a year!

Today, they had "planted chicken" in the employee cafeteria. That stuff has the consistency and texture of halumi, but halumi would've at least tasted good. Many things are said to taste like chilcken, they usually do, but I couldn't tell you what that stuff tasted like, but certainly not chicken.

The #swiss #eid vote has concluded. In a few years, we will see the social credit systems and the discrimination this technology enables when kept uncheckt, along with many additional dystopian horrors. Let's hope the people will wake up eventually, and correct this mistake.

I have some scripts which automatically mirror/update various git repos, just in case. Ones on github I've starred, some on gitlab, some elsewhere. It also deletes repos I've no longer starred. In retrospect, that was a bad idea, the script just deleted a bunch of repos which are no longer online...

When it comes to for how long or how much we must work, the only acceptable direction is less than now, never more. Working for money isn't something people do purely out of joy, it's something they must do to survive. /

@foxglove.bsky.social The original amber lights were sodium lamps. Sodium lamps are monochromatic. No color can be seen with only the light of a sodium lamp. Unfortunately I couldn't reply to the post, but I still needed to say it.

You know how images get blurry if you take their DFT, cut out a piece of the result, and transform it back? I tried this, and a bunch of similar transforms, to compare them. I also comared that to just taking a few equally spaced pixels of the image and scaling it up. See: temp-s.s.abrecht.li/ft/

useful fact: JIS screwdrivers work in Philips screws just fine. Philips screwdrivers will destroy a JIS screw in short order. this leads to lots of stripped screws on old ham radios

CHF 1 500 000 000 Seit 2014 hat der Bund diesen Betrag für Lizenzen von Microsoft, IBM, Oracle und SAP ausgegeben – ohne Ausschreibung. Der Grund: der Lock-In-Effekt, vor dem wir und viele andere immer gewarnt haben. Insgesamt erhielten sie 3,7 Milliarden Franken.

Another point I have tried to make repeatedly. So many of these internet regulations are going to simply lock in that the only people who can run a website are the big tech giants. Think about that the next time you demand "there ougtta be a law to stop bad stuff online!"
