Some years age when I was still using some more google stuff (like an account for calling out from my PBX) I had each service assigned to its own google account to limit the impact of google doing something crazy to an account.

Apart from playstore youtube red is now the only service left - and that's about to go as they now made it too expensive, especially taking into account that they enshittified it so much that we've blocked it on the TV, and "adfree on TV" was the main use case there...

Mit Scholz als SPD-Kanzlerkandidat waere beim naechsten mal eine Grosse Koalition eh CDU+AfD.

Damit ist dann wohl geklaert dass die vom Postillion veroeffentlichten Chatverlaeufe keine Satire, sondern Dokumentation sind.

This one approves.

Kernkraft eignet sich fuer Grundlast - was wir brauchen ist aber kurzfristig regelbares. Ich kann zwar bei Kernkraft den Generator entkoppeln - ich hab aber trotzdem praktisch die gleichen Unterhaltskosten, was das heutzutage unwirtschaftlich macht. Der Artikel verweist da auf fehlende Stromspeicher. Eine andere Option waere auch weitere Leitungen nach Skandinavien um die dortige Wasserkraft als kurzfristig regelbares weiter zu nutzen - Problem daran ist dass das ohne ordentliche Nord-Sued-Stromtrassen in Deutschland nix bringt, Norddeutschland wo das ankommen wuerde hat kein Stromproblem.

And the printed manual that came with the computer showed you how to program it.

You can drop that as far as clause.

Long time ago I got a small screw driver from a D-Link employee with the comment that this is the only non shit item with D-Link branding.

How do you do an ultrasound on a cat with just two people? Last time my cat had one 5 people were holding her, and she almost got away.

Glaubt jemand ernsthaft dass es mit Scholz als SPD Spitzenkandidat fuer schwarz-rot reichen wird?

Wir scheinen in unterschiedlichen Gegenden unterwegs zu sein - ich sehe das nach Verirrungen vor ein paar Jahren eher als Ruecklaeufig

Ist mir bekannt, aber das Thema ist so unwichtig fuer mich dass ich damit keine Zeit verschwende. Wenn mich ein Text nervt mach ich das halt zu, und benutz die Quelle in Zukunft nicht mehr.

Das wurde so in keinem Nachrichtenbeitrag den ich gesehen habe erklärt.

Ich vermute dass das halt oft als bekannt vorausgesetzt wird - sollte in Gemeinschaftskunde in der Schule relativ ausfuehrlich besprochen werden. Du bist Oesterreicher? Muss man halt bei Interesse an Politik anderer Laender evtl. kurz bei Wikipedia reinschauen. Die erklaeren das Grundkonzept auch oft mit den Details fuer verschiedene Laender.

Wer wäre denn für das Suchen solcher Mehrheiten zuständig?

Die Abgeordneten, im Speziellen wer das Misstrauensvotum haben bzw. gewinnen will. Das bekannteste Misstrauensvotum ist vermutlich wie Kohl in den 80ern von Schmidt uebernommen hat.

 

Screenshots of the UI changes on the Mac - in my opinion it is now just wasting a lot of screen estate for zero benefit.

On non-Macs they're adding an extra usability issue by hiding the top menu bar. I've gove back to 2.7.4 for now - fortunately I had my configuration in git.

Up to 2.7.4:

2.8.4:

 
 

Vor ein paar Tagen gabs hier ein Post zu Deutschlandwochen im Lidl in Italien, wo einer aus Schweden und ich mich ueber das Layout gewundert haben.

Jetzt sind auch hier Deutschlandwochen - und anscheinend wurde generell das Packungslayout geaendert - frueher war das alles "Alpenfest", jetzt "taste of deutschland".

Einige Produkte haben sich auch geaendert - z.b. waren die Apfel/Kirsch/Pflaumenkuchen frueher grosse runde Kuchen, jetzt sinds mehrere Teile.

Und Maultaschen sind wieder nicht dabei.

 

This is OpenDalle with img2img to make an existing picture into a futuristic city.

I took this picture at work a while ago, and it reminded me of cities with brutalist architecture we see in movies now and then, so I tried to get it made into one:

Other interesting attempts:

Forcing it to stay closer to the source made things look more like a highschool cardboard model:

 

I've finally found a bag which nicely fits almost everything I want to carry every day, and alos makes everything easily accessible - it is about the same size as what I used to carry, but now I no longer need to dump everything out to find what I neede, even with some lose parts still in there.

Contents:

Center:

  • 4 empty 64 microSD with SD adapter
  • one rpi 2040 with USB-A interface
  • headphones
  • bag of female jumper cables, with male-male adapters
  • a collection of the most used NFC keyfobs

Left side:

  • USB-C cable with attached USB-A adapter (USB3, missing on picture)
  • two USB-C to headphone adapters
  • satechi USB-C power meter
  • headphone splitter
  • USB-C to SATA adapter
  • USB-C smartcart reader
  • VGA to HDMI
  • USB Ninja (USB-C)
  • proxmark3 with battery/bt
  • collection of NFC magic cards

Right side:

  • USB-C hub with charging port
  • miniDP to HDMI
  • small USB-C dock
  • USB-C to whatever adapters (mini, micro, B, HDMI, ..)
  • Chameleon ultra
  • MPP pen
  • Ninja USB remote
  • USB-C to serial, connected via jumper cables

 

I recently had to add a Mac to my zoo of hardware I'm trying to do productive work on - which prompted me to clean up and document my environment variable importer, which had grown to platform specific functions with lots of code duplication.

On both Windows and MacOS I have properly configured shells with all relevant variables - so it makes sense to query them, instead of duplicating the logic how they create that configuration into Emacs.

On Linux that'd have worked too, but I also have the relevant variables in the systemd user session, and querying that is a tiny bit faster than launching a shell.

 

I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it's pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some pocket money before coming home, while by foot that'd be rather time consuming.

Quite a lot of friends from outside of Europe either can't ride a bicycle, or were learning it as adult after moving here, though.

edit: the high number of replies mentioning "swimming" made me realize that I had that filed as a basic skill pretty much everybody has - probably due to swimming lessons being a mandatory part of school education here.

 

My kids broke the flap on one of our sockets, so I had to look into getting them replaced.

Initially I tried to make them clip on to avoid having to remove the complete socket for future replacements, but that ended up either weakening the hinges too much, or making it impossible to attach it with the spring in the right position.

The gasket and O-ring are donated from the original flap:

The original flap and the first test prints to check if I got the dimensions right:

The whole thing is over on printables

 

I'm currently in the process of taking over as maintainer for the emacs-keybindings addon for Firefox.

I've just published the first update in years, with changes including:

  • tested on Windows and Linux now
  • some functionality is now configurable: debug logging, custom new tab page, experimental features, modifier-less high level bindings
  • all keybindings are listed in the options settings page
  • M- keybindings are now also reachable via ESC
  • M-< and M-> was added for scrolling to top/bottom
  • introducing prefix key, currently only used for opening/closing of windows (C-u C-x C-f or C-u C-k)
  • search is introduced as experimental feature - currently it just highlights all matches
  • the extension now registers as browser action in preparation for additional features

Unfortunately a lot of things that used to work with the old XUL plugins few years back just don't work with the new APIs - and Firefox developers have been sitting on relevant bugs for 8 years or more without anything happening now - so this is probably close to the best we can have for now. In combination with setting editing keybindings either via Gnome settings or AHK it makes browsing almost bearable again.

Die Kinder waren vorher im Wald und haben Heidelbeeren mitgebracht. Daher musste ich jetzt ungeplant schnell einen Kuchen machen.

Falls ihr das nachbauen wollt sollten eure Kinder so 250-300g Beeren aus dem Wald holen.

Boden: Normaler Muerbteig (200g Mehl, 75g Puderzucker, 75g Butter, 1TL Backpulver, 1 Ei)

Fuellung: 250g Quark, 50g Puderzucker, 2 Eier

Fuellung aufschlagen, ggf. etwas Vanillezucker dazu. Ich hatte nur 200g Quark, aber dafuer noch etwa 50g Vanillesosse uebrig, das tuts dann auch.

Beeren unterheben, Fuellung auf den ausgerollten und an den Seiten hochgezogenen Teig geben, im vorgeheizten Backofen bei 180 Grad etwa 45 Minuten backen. Aus der Form nehmen und auf einem Gitter abkuehlen lassen.

 

On the off chance somebody here is familiar with this API: I've spent some time trying to make using browsers somewhat bearable, and tried - with limited success - to re-implement search using find.find, with the search input in a HTML dialog.

The problem with this approach is that the search query itself is treated as part of the results:

So far I haven't seen a way to have that excluded. Does anybody have ideas outside of "throw this away and reimplement with JavaScript"?

The code is here
