@oxytocinated ja, aber es wechselt, was die gerade da haben. HP LaserJet ist eigentlich eine sichere Bank, was sw Laser angeht. Gerade wenn sie frisch gewartet sind. Die Geräte aus Firmen für den professionellen Einsatz haben auch brauchbare toner preise.

@oxytocinated ich kaufe seit Jahren gebrauchte Hardware bei denen. Die bekommen ausgemusterte Rechner und Drucker von Firmen, arbeiten die auf und verkaufen mit Garantie. Und beschäftigen Menschen mit Behinderungen.

@halcy coin toss. Oder würfeln. Jedenfalls nichts, wo Relevanz eine Rolle spielt...

@oxytocinated schau mal bei AFB, ich meine die hätten auch in Berlin nen Shop. Da hab ich meinen HP LaserJet für seinerzeit 40€ her. https://www.afb-group.de/shop/lokale-shops

I've referenced it enough that now it's all I can hear when I read it. Now you have to hear it too 🙉 https://ericwbailey.website/published/you-must-listen-to-rfc-2119/

Here is a writeup of how I made the winning NOVA 2025 PC Demo. Hopefully this is handy for someone looking to make their own demos:

@halcy does the stovetop controls have a lock function? Usually they have it in order to stop kids from operating the stovetop.

German magazine "Politik und Kultur", Germany's largest cultural policy newspaper, published it's July/August edition, which features a special issue on demoscene and retro-computing. (in German)

It's in total 14(!) pages of articles, interviews and demoscene art (executable graphics and screenshots from demos, together with code snippets that create parts of the screen/image).

It's a great showcase of the demoscene, through the traditional media lens.

@td00 frag mal bei https://www.afb-group.de/ - von denen beziehe ich privat und im Bekanntenkreis gebrauchte Hardware. Die sollten auch an die Mengen kommen.

@halcy @shodansafari Looks Like a dog grooming bathroom.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I'll say it again:

Part of your job as a senior is to tell your juniors about your fuckups. The embarrassing cringe reckless and lazy bullshit that you did when you were new, and the various times you brought down Prod. We ALL did it sometime. And then tell them: the moment you realized you fucked up, I know, the impulse is to try and cover it up, but don't do it. Come to the seniors you trust, and they'll help you unfuck it, and fight management tooth and claw like mamma and pappa bears to defend you from any shitheads in management. Because that's what our seniors did to us.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!
