The original setup of my MTA that is still running is older than Gmail. 💀

It was already inexcusable that Google specifically being at least very minimally willing to act like a good citizen re: FOSS funding/resourcing waa so load-bearing in the 2000s/2010s, and if we repeat the exact same thing with Anthropic over the next 15 years I'm going to lose my fucking mind

Truths, known to human kind since at least 1867

So far no labour saving device in the history of humanity has resulted in a long-term increase in leisure time and worker agency.

Die Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung hat eine Studie über "Rechtsextreme und demokratiegefährdende Einstellungen in Deutschland 2024/2025" erstellt, und @uebermedien.de hat daraus eine Grafik gemacht, die in jeder Nachrichtenredaktion an der Wand hängen sollte. Quelle: www.fes.de/index.php?eI...

I remember being the guy who did the “megamerge” aka octopus, back when we did a big bang migration and i integrated the work of four teams. Either my fellows thought i did witch craft or they were just happy that i was their accountability sink. Can’t tell in hindsight

1. True story 2. Megamerges rule But most importantly... 3. Understanding the megamerge is what cracked my brain open to using jj effectively as my code workspace #jj-vcs

„White people are white-peopling very hard right now”

I have been a tech guy for most of my life. Especially at this point in my life, this stage of tech development and these political circumstances I have a deep feeling of saturation of listening to white dudes.

I spend a lot of REAL LIFE time outside and on the road. You want to create an app that is MOBILE? Let me tell you something!

A fascist party has won a state election in my country. So I will do the most German thing a German can (and should) do: Write a request for the Wehrmacht files on my grandfathers from the federal archives office. The first step to research what my grandfathers did when they identified as Nazis.

My mom showed me a chat between my aunt and her. My aunt sends “thoughtful” pictures to my mom every day. Every single one of them “AI” generated. Fever dream garbage, all of them 😕

How can i mute all skeets that end in elipses…

We've been cooking at @ersc.io "What comes after git" ersc.io/blog/what-co...

What comes after git

Our thoughts about the future of version control

Folks, just use jujutsu. Watching those „use this awesome git flag!“ videos make me sad

When I moved my account from bsky to eurosky my `fu` feed glitched and showed tons of furry porn for a while 🤔

It took some time, but let it be known that I got there before the bros did!

Finally looking into Nix and NixOS which is overdue since, let’s see… oh, twenty years! #nix #nixos

My hot take: the charging port of the magic mouse is fine. i have never been bothered by it and roll my eyes on the hate. but i am a weirdo, i like trackballs, so

Please please please, when showing a time ALWAYS show the time zone, or at least as a mouse-over text. “Localtime” is not a time zone. Pleeeeease!

Isn't infrastructure as code a la NixOS kinda dumb if all(!) of it is some hairball mess of vibecoded write-only code? Your prompts are a perversion of imperative commands.

So I had the idea that Nix should work perfectly fine on Illumos based systems (OpenSolaris, OpenIndiana, Solaris). A quick google found solnix... ... which has a project page that is full-on LLM slop garbage. Some ideas sound nice, like integrate NixOS like generations into beadm (yeah!).

When are we going to talk about the literal FOSSIL GAS that we are EATING every day? The Strait of Hormuz situation reminds of the fact that crop is dependant on nitrogen fertilizer that is produced from fossil gas. We are EATING FOSSIL HYDROCARBON! Why is no one talking about that?

I just forked mitchellh’ NixOS config as a starting point and called it wokenix giggle

A sentence that burnt into my mind many many years ago: A firewall is software code whose purpose is to reduce the amount of software code a network packet goes through. Sometimes that goal can be accomplished by switching off the firewall.
