Beim Postillon hat sich schon wieder eine Echtmeldung zwischen die Satire verirrt.

I’m looking for freelance work!

Apart from being a quite senior software engineer with management experience, a specialisation in fintech and card networks, and a talent for reading hundreds of pages of standards and docs and being really pedantic about them - I’m a jack of all trades, with a silly broad range of experiences, and enjoy novelty and variety.

Want a photographer? Bartender? VJ for your party? Help organising an event? Need to win an argument about Mastercard rules?

Something else entirely, where a background in tech, music and/or events might come in handy? Hit me up and I’ll see what I can do.

(I’m happy to help out nonprofits, clubs and others doing good/interesting things, but who don’t have very deep pockets, for a more affordable price. I started out maintaining a WordPress site for my dad’s choir, and I’m happy to do it for yours too.)

@embr Where was this taken? I thought somewhere in/near Grunewald first, but looking at the map, I don't think this could be there.

@9hax our giant goose says 'Hi!'.

@kitten fun fact, Ikea sends free replacement parts. didn't even pay shipping

@MRMCD sorry!

@sinbad interesting and unexpected!

hot webdev tip: make your websites with XSLT now to exclude google and google users!

Nahverkehrservice Sachen-Anhalt (NASA): hold my Unternehmensabkürzung

Nein, ich hab mir das nicht gerade ausgedacht

@sinbad I wonder what the influence of the steam deck is in this statistic. 🤔

@seabass MRMCD: https://2025.mrmcd.net/en/

Which naturally means I'll start writing anything into the CfP form at 23:10 today...

Anyway, submitted now. 🙈 (With even 5 minutes to spare!)

@deepbluev7 I thought it's FrostCon? 🥶

And another great newsletter by Jonathan & Melissa from Raw Signal Group on AI in work and the loss of humane interaction in all of this.

ÖPNV: Warum deutsche Zustände nicht "normal" sind

ÖPNV-Fahrgäste in Deutschland sind viel Leid gewohnt. Hier ist Normalität, was nicht normal ist. Das zeigt auch der Blick ins Ausland.

@deanerschnitzel Polen wäre dann das entsprechend nächste Nachbarland in das man gut mit dem D-Ticket kommt hier.

@deanerschnitzel Berlin :)

In die Schweiz mit D-Ticket macht von hier aus nicht soo viel Spaß. 😅

Irgendwie habe ich jetzt dank diverser Umplanungen 3 #Interrail Tage übrig. (Aber nur noch eine outbound journey). Was mache ich denn jetzt damit in den nächsten 12 Tagen noch?
