I love that Google's AdSense thingie recently added Interest feedback buttons, so I can tell them "I don't like this AI slop game, thanks". It was also completely expected that they ignore any of the feedback given and continue to show me the same shit AI […] [Original post on chaosfurs.social]

Reason #312 why Steam is better than other game service platforms: They don't need longer than the actual token lifetime to send a fking 2FA code, because they've actually got a good grasp at their infrastructure. Fuck you, Ubisoft. Guess I'll play something else tonight..

Why does my German Aldi TV have a Bri'ish power outlet on the back?! Never noticed that before..

I'm not sure whether I should be annoyed or amused.. but this is the first time I've received spam to my .li domain in not-english. Unfortunately, they have confused LI and LU and translated it into Letzebuergesch (.lu Luxembourg) instead of Liechtensteinian […] [Original post on chaosfurs.social]

I need help identifying a vintage connector.. does anyone have an idea what this 12-pin plug is called, or can provide me with a link to the appropriate counterpart (or even have one at hand to sell me)? This is on a Siemens paper tape reader, ca. 1960 […] [Original post on chaosfurs.social]

Apparently, Ebay really wants to get rid of private sellers.. I've just sold a few items I had lying around, for a total of about 300 Euros.. and when I try to get me money, it tells me "Payment withheld". Calling support got me "If you're selling without parcel tracking, the money will be kept […]

Vodafone kapiert das mit den Störungen irgendwie nicht so ganz, kann das sein?

grmpf. bescheuertes Amselpaar auf meinem Balkon. er hat beschlossen, ein Nest auf nem Dachbalken zu bauen. natürlich weht der Wind jeden einzelnen Zweig runter, ziemlicher Haufen aufm Boden. ihr isses anscheinend völlig egal dass er ihr ein nichtexistierendes Nest anbietet und legt ihre Eier auf […]

ok wtf.. my Logi Master MX 2S just decided to lose a part of its rubber case.. how'd that deteriorate so badly without me noticing?! guess that one's going in the emergency notebook bag now, trading places with the 3S that's in there at the moment..

[X] Movement Inhibitor renewed I guess RSI is a feature you just can't unsubscribe if you're in IT and/or gaming..

Das Spam-Aufkommen in meinem Postfach wird auch immer absurder.. nach den massenweise "Wir suchen Vertriebspartner für unsere E-Scooter" die letzten Monate lang, bekomm ich jetzt seit einigen Tagen Listen mit "sofort verfügbaren Gebrauchtfahrzeugen" in Massen zugeschickt. Keine Scripte oder […]

Argh. Deutschland und seine gottverdammte Drecks Bürokratie... Hab jetzt ne Stunde damit verschissen, mich durch die AFIR und diversen Rechtskram zur BNetzA durchzuwühlen, aber es scheint echt keinen Weg zu geben, meine Ladestation öffentlich anzubieten ohne dass ich ein NFC-Bezahlterminal kaufe […]

Was zur Hölle?! Gabs irgendwo einen Datenreichtum bei der IHK oder dem dt. Gewerberegister, oder ist das irgendwo öffentlich spiderbar? Ich hab gerade eine Mail (mit fake Absender) erhalten, in der ich als "Inhaber von <Firmenname meines Grossvaters>" (welche 1995 erloschen ist!) angesprochen […]

The weird anarchistic polycule in one of my shrubs seems to be expanding.. after doing the spring garden cleanup, there now seem to be six (6) species growing from the same root commune.. - Magnolia (the OG inhabitant of the plot) - Elderberry (been there for ages) - Ilex/holly (the spiky poison […]

#IPv8 is great and all, but I think this RFC is a lot more thought through, can totally get behind it https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html #meow

I just realized that "no solid food for 5 days" also bans *all* of my evening comfort snacks.. This recent throat surgery just became a whole new level of annoying.

WTF did YouTube fuck up again now?! Every video I open now starts with activated subtitles (usually the awful autotranslated ones) and gives me this nice popup bubble.. YES I want CC OFF, and I've turned them off 8 times now, MAKE IT STAY OFF!

ok, der heutige Tag wird ein Fall für Im-Bett-bleiben.. so nen heftigen Wetterkopfschmerz hatte ich schon lang nicht mehr.

argh.. FUCK AUTODESK. i've now wasted half an hour trying to get the free personal license for Fusion renewed.. why does that shit even have to expire

OH: "If it wasn't for the constant shootings, you could assume America doesn't have any schools.."

Scott Adams, creator of "Dilbert", died at 68 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/scott-adams-dilbert-dies "Things did not go well for me. My body fell before my brain." - that opinion surely is open for debate..

One thing that I will never stop hating about Linux is that all major distros insist on having forward-ports of packages under their own versioning systems. I have just wasted two hours of my lifetime trying to debug why Git suddenly started to complain about directory ownerships (that have not […]

Firefox, what's wrong with you?!

Mailbox weirdness of the day: Why am I getting spam from several "companies" looking for distribution partners for their E-bikes and E-scooters?! It's rather well written in German and English, but the sender and reply-to are completely random domains, most of which don't exist, and the ones […]
