@deusfigendi @h4kor @holgi Kann man erkennen, wenn man Ubuntu und GTK-Anwendungen kennt, die sehen häufig so aus wie das da. Und im ersten Satz steht „Canonical“, das ist die Firma hinter Ubuntu.

why would you port coreutils to rust if you could port it to java and then run it everywhere on 3+ billion devices?

I had so much fun giving my lightning talk at entitled MOSEY: Data for pedestrian safety. Here's the app: mosey-score.streamlit.app I'm looking to connect with the folks from the Friday Open Space Python for Advocacy, Activism, and Civics and anyone else who likes data + civics.

It's rare, but sometimes the Orange Site is... good?

A thread on Hacker news.

First comment, by dylan604, reads: FFMPEG does so much more than just video encoding. I use ffmpeg all day every day, and only a fraction of the time do I actually make a video.

Reply, from m3kw9: Like what do you do?

Reply, from andoma: One can use it instead of cat to display text files. Easy syntax to remember.

  ffmpeg -v quiet -f data -i file.txt -map 0:0 -c text -f data -

🚀 Voyager 1 isn’t done yet — not even close 🧠🔧📡

NASA just pulled off another miracle save:
🛰️ The spacecraft’s primary roll thrusters, offline since 2004, were believed permanently dead
🧯 With backup thrusters at risk of failure, JPL engineers gambled on a high-stakes heater reset
🔥 If wrong, it could’ve caused a small onboard explosion
📡 If right, it would restore control — 15.6 billion miles from Earth

They were right. The thrusters fired. Voyager 1 can still hold its course.

This wasn’t a reboot. It was old-school problem-solving, deep systems knowledge, and the audacity to trust an idea that might just work.

The most distant human object is still flying — because a team believed it could.

@czottmann Ich hatte mal vorn paar Jahren "walkaway" von Cory Doctorow in der deutschen Übersetzung angefangen und eine Übersetzung war "frei wie in kostenloses Bier" und da hab ich zugeklappt und mir die englische Version geholt.

I've written a new blog post about some quirks of Django's template language I've discovered while working on a reimplementation in Rust:
