@Badgardener All the Greek tragedies and myths are surprisingly modern once you adapt the vocabulary.

How do I notice that I get old?I am annoyed that most tutorials come as videos and not a document with screenshots 😏.

You should think of this prize as the Nobel Prize in Corruptionhttps://www.euronews.com/2025/12/05/donald-trump-awarded-inaugural-fifa-peace-prize-during-2026-world-cup-drawThe FIFA is absolutely a top tier organization when it comes to corruption. They could even give Tamany Hall and the legendary„Boss“ Tweed a run for their money.And they, the most renowned experts in that field, clearly recognized Trump’s talent for enriching himself and gave him a golden trophy for it.

Dear OSS community on Mastodon,Every day I scroll through my feed and I see proud announcements like:“First Alpha Relase of HyperTurboWidget available"or“Version 2.7.1 now with improved glorb handlers!”or“Flux Capacitor version 4.5 is out”… and I sit there wondering if I should be excited, terrified, or calling a licensed electrician.Don’t get me wrong, I love open source. I just have no idea what three quarters of these projects actually do. Are we talking about a web server? A file system? A middleware thingy that keeps the flux from overflowing into the space–time continuum?So, dear OSS developers of the world: When you announce a new release, please give us (your adoring but slightly confused audience) just a tiny bit of context.Tell us what your software does.Tell us why this release is cool.Tell us what it requires to work.Example:We are proud to announce Flux Capacitor version 4.5 is now avalaible. While it creates a nice wormhole to 1955, it requires an underlying gigawatt stack 1.21 to work reliably.Because nobody wants to cheer enthusiastically for “v2.7.1” while secretly Googling “what is a glorb and why does it need handling”.Yours truly,Someone who wants to celebrate your achievements

My Sonos installation is getting long in the tooth (still on S1). With my next installation, I want a networked speaker that doesn't assume we're all one happy layer 2 network.I want to break down my own network into as many VLAN as possible with a fully fledged firewall in between them.My requirements are:Play MP3 from an SMB shareWIFI enabledControllable by an app on Smartphone and via Web BrowserWorks with Layer 3 RoutingNo microphoneLow power consumption when not in useIt shall be 100% cloud free except for system updates. Support of Cloud Music providers is acceptable as long those can be disabled.Sonos has removed themselves quite effectively from the list of future purchases.So: What would you recommend?And yes: I can stick Raspberry Pi to a speaker, but I would prefer a product.

I just had a discussion with a friend, that the last years each felt exhausting like a complete decade.Then I remembered this quote:“His age was indeterminate. But in cynicism and general world weariness, which is a sort of carbon dating of the personality, he was about seven thousand years old.”― Terry PratchettAnd we both felt as Terry has been looking at us when he wrote it.#terrypratchett

@Stomata Backlog: It's things that I think are important but I am unsure I will remember 🙂Example: Link to an interesting project on Github passes through my stream. I leave a tab open on that project and plan to revisit later...

@Stomata I am not sure if it was a joke or a typo 😁. But binding all my tabs as a book is a but over the top.

I see some minor problems in my post, but after I struggled with the Hugo-installation so much today, the fix has to wait a few days.

Thesis:Bitcoin will not die from technology or regulation, but from the fact that AI consumes the same fuel while promising a higher return.Or, more polemically:Bitcoin burns electricity to cosplay as money.AI burns electricity to generate power.
