To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

noyb WIN: The Austrian Supreme Court has ruled that Meta must give users full access to their data. All of Meta's claims of trade secrets or other limitations were rejected, leading to unprecedented access to the inner workings of Meta.

Österreichs Höchstgericht verbietet Meta Platforms' Geschäftsmodell

Nach 11 Jahren steht fest: Meta Platforms personalisierte Werbung ist unzulässig, Datensammlung auf Drittseiten ebenso. Metas Auskünfte sind viel zu bescheiden.

podman is a 1:1 replacement for Docker and takes the same CLI args. You should be able to just s/docker/podman/g and it should "just work".

Took me a moment to notice but one of these is not like the others lol

NixOS tests are pretty cool!

I've been fixing an issue where, if you do a deployment to a remote machine (with 'nixos-rebuild switch --target-host=foo'), and the connection would get broken off during the 'switch', the switch would be aborted - worst-case leading to that connection not getting restored.

I initially tested this manually, with the Raspberry Pi I encountered this problem with, which was elaborate and painful (especially when I got something wrong and the connection was lost). What's more, this would be useless to someone reviewing my code, as they don't have my pi sitting on their desk.

I now recreated the situation in a NixOS test, which spins up 2 VM's and exercises them with some Python code. Very smooth, and there's also an 'interactive' mode where you get access to the Python REPL and the consoles of the QEMU VM's for manual inspection and manipulation.

Apparently Statens IT is working on transitioning Danish institutions over to FOSS software, including a NixOS based distro. That’s cool i guess

Wait what, die Schiene kommt ab‽

Man muss die Schraube einfach ein Stück länger machen, dann kann sie die Schiene im offenen Zustand lose halten. Das macht #Brompton schon seit Jahrzehnten so vor.

Dann noch Federn dazu und die Schiene bleibt beim Schließen auch in Position.
(Das hat Brompton noch nicht leider, kann man aber sehr einfach nachrüsten.)

For future reference: Im @cccda haben wir einen Lasercutter:

Ich kenne mich damit nicht aus, aber ich nehme stark an, dass man mit dem sowas machen kann :)

#Halloween idea: Handing out USB drives with the #EICAR test file on it.

When a muggle plugs it into their PC, their warding spell would activate with a scary red message >:D

That sounds great!

Do you have a source for further reading?

Knowledge is power.

Therefore, if you want power to be distributed in a society rather than concentrated, you must distribute knowledge as best as possible.

That's why #education is so vitally important for a #democracy to function.
