הל"מ:
"קמין" נקרא בפינית kamiina

המקור לשתי המילים הוא ביוונית עתיקה -
κάμινος (kámīnos)
לעברית היא הגיעה מארמית, ואילו לפינית היא הגיעה משוודית שאליה הגיעה מלטינית

#TIL about the #OrganicMaps / #CoMaps drama:

For years I have been a staunch supporter — and promoter (please forgive me) — of Organic Maps, but it seems I need to re-evalute my position. What a disappointment.

#TIL Raspberry Pi Imager, can now add an Ethernet over USB device driver to your Pi Image. And you can do all your setup via SSH without being connected to a monitor or keyboard direct connected to the Pi. It DOES set gadget mode on the USB port you direct connect to, which means you cannot attach any USB peripherals to it.

I will have to try this out the next time I have issues with my RPi and have to re-pave and re-image it.

#TIL Alcofribas Nasier est un pseudonyme de François Rabelais, dont c’est l’anagramme.

C’était le super banco. Les candidats ne l’ont pas trouvé, et c’est con parce que Stoufflet a mentionné le xvıᵉ siècle, et ils n’ont pas percuté.

Je cherchais un portrait. Aucun n’existe du vivant de Rabelais, et je n’aime pas trop l’anonyme xvııᵉ de Versailles. Les plus anciennes gravures, probablement copies l’une de l’autre ou d’une troisième perdue, sont dans les livres :

#TodayILearned #TIL ... that you can use combining accents on the # of a #hashtag! For example #̧Cedilla. Why? Because someone, in a heroic feat of #DefensiveProgramming, thought "I bet some #weirdos will do that, I'd better deal with it sensibly". Why would weirdos like me do that? Because we're weirdos!

Also, you can pile them on top of each other! Therefore the official hashtag of #Zalgo is not #Zalgo, it is #̶̧̼͖̖̦͍͉̝̗͐̈́̏͜Zalgo.

#TIL (re-learned) what a scalene triangle is, after struggling to remember the definition of an isosceles triangle last night (and apparently how to spell it too.) I'm not completely sure I was ever told the complete triangle story of entangled classification systems. I guess equilateral and right-angle triangles must be most important in 'Grown-Up Life'. If I need to forget another triangle, do I give up Uprightness or Equality? (3rd attempt at a feeble joke.)

I'm wondering how many "blind spots" I have in the city I have lived in all my life. I've just read an article about a really big historical building which I have never been in nor even seen or knew about.
I looked at the map and I've been around it many many times, but always a block or two away, so I've never seen it because of other buildings in the line of sight. And it's even funnier because there's a whole subway station named after it, but the building itself is not directly at it and I always thought that it's just a historical name based on something that used to be there, not that it's actually still there.
