Where are the live streams ? Seems they are not published on media.ccc.de.

@bortzmeyer est-ce un concept si compliqué et abstrait que d'héberger trois pauvres serveurs sur des AS différents ? J'ai pas fait d'études dans le domaine et j'y arrive facilement !

So, apparently, having a SSID with the Bash forkbomb in it and sharing it through QR code crashes on the One + included camera app...

This is why I have a bash forkbomb SSID 😛

The NS (the Dutch train company) was selling some old emergency brakes, and well... one thing led to another, and now I have this in my home 😂

Linus Tech Tips: There was a recent thing from a major tech company where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote, and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity because it means nothing.

Linus Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset at that point. That’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.

LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?

Linus Torvalds: No.

LTT: Oh. Uh… he was a prominent figure in the improved efficiency of the U.S. Government recently.

Linus Torvalds: Oh, apparently I was spot-on.

When a kernel commit starts with "In A.D. 1582 Pope Gregory XIII found that ..." you know you're in for a ride:
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k
tl;dr: Rockchip decided November should have 31 days...

Cereal ports, for connecting a hull modem cable with the correct pin-oat. Beware wiring quality or you could end up with croptalk and bad seednal propagation.

Some setups could do with a germinating resistor pack.

I’ll delete this if you pay me.

Pay more and I might apologise too.

A photo of three corn ports labeled corn1 corn2 and corn3. The kerning makes them look like com ports. And the pins are made of corn kernels too.

Et bien tu verras comme de simples choses comme payer un ticket de bus ou ouvrir un compte en banque sont compliquées, comme tu deviens un paria pour ne pas simplement obéir aux règles édictées par une poignée de multinationales fascistes !

@marcaurele @ploum Rien que le fait d'avoir un smartphone sous permet d'avoir un aperçu de ce qui est décrit. Si il n'y a pas d'app native qui existe, c'est que l'application/le service n'est pas important pour un usage au quotidien.

@altf4 you first need to boot a full linux with all the toolchain included, including X11, that will start a hypervisor that will boot the legacy ios in a VM, then you have all the java components of the GUI, that will be started even if not used, then a couple of docker containers just fir the sake of it, and two copies of postgresql.

I guess we need a "mandatory cloud down day"

Once a year, all cloud providers have to go offline for the same 12 hour window to see what depends on it.

Additional benefit: they could do complex maintenance then.

Unintentional benefit: It will become a public holiday as no one can work anyway 😄.
