I think I'm well positioned for the concert. Given how loud he plays, I might go deaf even with earplugs.

I haven't checked in a while. Apparently, the answer to "How many Mozilla t-shirts do you own?" is 42. To be fair, there are a couple of duplicates, and I have another half dozen still back in Italy. The one is the middle is an original Firefox 1.0 release, so […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

42 Mozilla t-shirts spread on a bed. Including an original Firefox 1.0 t-shirt from November 2004.

The dignity and moral authority expected of a head of state… The man has been upset since the picture with the pointed finger, and he's not letting it go. It tells a lot about the type of person he is.

Out for a bike ride this morning, barely escaped a massive storm on my way back. Stork nest on a pointy roof was not something I expected to see. Pictures are not great at this distance, but there were a couple of storks in the nest.

Not sure if it was a fluke, but I feel like I finally figured out how to deal with this dough (in particular transferring to the tray).

@gabrielesvelto It went 20-60-20 before. Grifters will keep grifting, and some people will get caught in the middle trying to make "easy money" with their savings. An interesting point for me is that I hear fewer people on podcasts recommending Bitcoint as a […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

A few containers set up with domains and Letsencrypt certificates (maybe Grafana is overkill, but wanted to test it out). Now waiting for some hardware before setting up Home Assistant (smart plugs and bulbs, one sensor).

Sunday lunch, it's been a while since I made pancakes. That's one very confusing way to celebrate a milestone in weight loss 🐖

Somehow I missed how weak the US dollar has become against the Euro in the past 6 months (exchange rate went from its lowest at 1.0257 on 2025-01-10, to 1.1805 USD on 2025-07-01). Ironic that it would make for a very cheap trip to US. If only. Source of chart […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

You can't make this shit up… Looks like the "tariffs" showing up in Trump's tables are calculated from trade deficit / export to US, with a minimum of 10%. And only goods, not services. Example for EU: 236/606 = 39% ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-m…

Someone smart needs to explain to me the real reason to have xAI buy X, at an absurd evaluation slightly above the original one. I'm assuming it involves taxes, debt, etc. Also, the general vibe is very Tropic Thunder.

Not exactly hard to spot the pattern (light blue is AFD). I'm surprised at how many votes Die Linke got in East Berlin, compared to the rest of the country. www.zdf.de/nachrichten/politik/deut…

Fun: amazon.de offers a credit card. If you click on the link to check the reviews, you end up on a page where the product is "testDE by dummyValue". Maybe not the smart choice.

Google, WTF? They're now trying to push Gemini via an obnoxious modal dialog (paid Google Apps account BTW). There's a missing video on top (it plays in Chrome, broken in Firefox), and the two options are "Continue" or "Learn more"? What about "Not interested"?

Work in progress for tomorrow (in charge of desserts). One is called "torta di tagliatelle" (as you can guess, filling is made of pasta mixed with almond and sugar), the other "gubana" (roll of puff pastry with filling made of mixed nuts, grapes, chocolate).
