I wrote a program to lipsync the shipping forecast in a terminal window, and I have no regrets.

@Viss Hi Viss, thanks for getting in touch. This is an internal position, but we are working with b2b for e.g. pentests. Let’s see whom we find and what that person needs as external support.

Hey folks, 👋 at SafeNow we’re looking for a strong Security Officer (permanent position in or around Munich, m/f/d, international team, freelance gig only if we don’t find someone suitable) and I would appreciate if you could give me some hints… 😇 Obviously with a strong background on IT-security, but with a more holistic view on security and safety. And: Sorry for maybe annoying you with this post. ❤️ #FediHire

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

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!

Just a friendly reminder…
Small changes make bigger change.

Super Konzernleitung drückt ab sofort durch, dass alle Dienstags bis Donnerstags ins Büro kommen müssen! Wie soll sowas gehen? Bei 1 Stunde Fahrt pro Tag muss ich unbedingt meine Stunden reduzieren. Sucht jemand gerade eine iOS-Entwicklerin Remote mit >10 Jahren Erfahrung?

Dear developers, stop fucking around with the icon for your app. This is like me coming into your home, and moving all the labels on all the switches on your appliances. Don't do it. You're just pissing people off.

I’m down south in Iqaluit this week, taking a wilderness first aid course. I went out for coffee this morning with an old troopmate and ordered a triple shot Americano (the cookie is his, lest you think me indulgent). When I got the receipt I see it has been renamed. #ElbowsUp

Asking for a little favor.

A few years ago -for obvious reasons- I deleted all my american services. (instagram, facebook etc)

The result was my business plummeting down, no projects came in anymore, making it nearly impossible to come around after 20 years of career.

The favor I'm asking is if you know someone who's working with illustrators, or even just interested, just share my stuff please. Thanks :)

Endlich wird mit dem Mythos "Schweizer Standort" aufgeräumt... Das Technikfachmagazin c't sieht diesen kritisch (es geht um Threema) und nennt es sogar indirekt als Malus. Wieso?

Die Schweizer Überwachungsgesetze sind das Problem. Und werden es noch viel mehr mit der Revision VÜPF.

I just tried to reset my discord password and I got this. The first image is the visual captcha challenge and the second image is the text alternative.

Who on earth believes that are appropriate challenges? For the first you need perfect eye-sight and dexterity, for the second a degree.
I hate CAPTCHA so much.

Despite the rain, despite the government shutting down every form of public transport towards Belgrade, the amount of people on the streets of Belgrade right now is absolutely *insane*.

Today's protest is already being referred to as the biggest protest in Serbian history — and rightfully so.

The people are still pouring in, the peak of the crowd isn't expected until 8pm.

I feel like writing... https://ia.net/notebook @ia

After 6 months and about 333 commits I proudly present:

Faircamp 1.0 – A static site generator for audio producers
https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/

To recap the highlights of the past months and learn what's new in the final 1.0 release, check out the blog post: https://simonrepp.com/posts/faircamp-1.0/

Development of version 1.0 was made possible through the amazing support, funding and expertise of the @NGIZero programme and coalition, led by the @nlnet foundation and financed by the European Commission's @EC_NGI initiative – thank you so much for giving me and everyone benefitting from a better Faircamp this incredible opportunity!

Also, many thanks to all faircampers, contributors, testers, translators, bloggers, podcasters and encouraging voices for supporting this journey - for the final 1.0 release specifically to @branpos for release candidate testing, @n00q for bugreporting/testing, @limebar for the external artist page feature inspiration and @Vac for their diligent translation work.

Along with this release I've published multiple new documentation resources - from an official Linux/macOS/Windows tutorial to a 1.0 migration guide, from an overhauled reference manual to a beginner's guide to publishing faircamp (or any!) static sites - check out the website and recent posts in the #faircamp hashtag to discover them!

That's all!

Maybe, I have more success here. Do you know anybody who is using GNU Hurd?

Retweet welcome!

If you're into demoscene (or were into it in the past), can you recommend a demo that really blew your socks off?

I don't care if the demo's remarkable because of some technical achievement, or if it's because of artistry, or music, or some innovative strategy. I also don't care if it's a C64 demo or a Vulkan one.

I just want to see what can be done with code that's visually cool and memorable.

Batteriespeicher für Balkonkraftwerke: Eine sinnvolle Investition? | c’t uplink

Ein Balkonkraftwerk amortisiert sich schon nach wenigen Jahren, verschenkt aber auch ungenutzten Strom. Wir besprechen, ob sich ein Akku als Ergänzung lohnt.
