#Klimakatastrophe China nutzt riesige, faltbare, mobile Photovoltaik-Anlagen um schnell sauberen Strom in Gefahrengebiete, auf Baustellen oder in abgelegene Regionen zu bringen. Söder faselt was von Minikernkraftwerken.

I've used linux for years, but lately, there've been some serious issues with very basic functionallity. * ssh to AIX machines is currently broken in debian (bug 1103392). * rsync --link-dest is broken (Various bugreports, ex. 1106088. I need it for hardlink backups). Known since like a year!

SSH and rsync are extremely basic functions. They absolutely just must work. Also, my laptop freezes if I keep it running for a few days to a week. And i had way to many different kernel crashes on my server and other devices last year. What's going on, linux used to be rliable and working!!!

Today, they had "planted chicken" in the employee cafeteria. That stuff has the consistency and texture of halumi, but halumi would've at least tasted good. Many things are said to taste like chilcken, they usually do, but I couldn't tell you what that stuff tasted like, but certainly not chicken.

The #swiss #eid vote has concluded. In a few years, we will see the social credit systems and the discrimination this technology enables when kept uncheckt, along with many additional dystopian horrors. Let's hope the people will wake up eventually, and correct this mistake.

I have some scripts which automatically mirror/update various git repos, just in case. Ones on github I've starred, some on gitlab, some elsewhere. It also deletes repos I've no longer starred. In retrospect, that was a bad idea, the script just deleted a bunch of repos which are no longer online...

Although, I may have a backup of those mirrored repos. I'll have to check later, the backup isn't accessible remotely for security reasons, I need to go to the server physically...

When it comes to for how long or how much we must work, the only acceptable direction is less than now, never more. Working for money isn't something people do purely out of joy, it's something they must do to survive. /

Requiring us to work more means we have less time for us, it directly impacts our well-being, and thus lowers our wellfare, which is counter to the goal of increasing wellfare. /

Some may claim more work is neccessary, but it is usally very questionable if it actually leads to any gains, it may even be counter productive, and it certainly won't improve anyones well-being more than it harms ours directly.

In the end, we want to enjoy our lifes, and for that we need time for us. Having time for us is an essential part of our well-being, we can't be well if we can't do the things we want to do. The purpose of the state is to serve it's people, it should maximize their wellfare / well-being. /

useful fact: JIS screwdrivers work in Philips screws just fine. Philips screwdrivers will destroy a JIS screw in short order. this leads to lots of stripped screws on old ham radios

If you’re working on Japanese things, (cameras and stuff) they often use JIS screws, not Philips. 👍🏼

CHF 1 500 000 000 Seit 2014 hat der Bund diesen Betrag für Lizenzen von Microsoft, IBM, Oracle und SAP ausgegeben – ohne Ausschreibung. Der Grund: der Lock-In-Effekt, vor dem wir und viele andere immer gewarnt haben. Insgesamt erhielten sie 3,7 Milliarden Franken.

Wir von der Piratenpartei ergreifen das Referendum gegen das E-ID-Gesetz Das Gesetz für den digitalen Schweizerpass (E-ID-Gesetz) befördert die missbräuchliche Nutzung von sensiblen Personendaten. Wir sagen NEIN zu einem unsicheren, digitalen Schweizerpass! 1/2

Another point I have tried to make repeatedly. So many of these internet regulations are going to simply lock in that the only people who can run a website are the big tech giants. Think about that the next time you demand "there ougtta be a law to stop bad stuff online!"

Graham Smith@cyberleagle.bsky.social

And so it begins. 24950 (give or take a few) UK providers who are not big tech, do not run on algorithms, and were ignored by the legislators who rammed this through. Someone once said, if you legislate as if everyone is big tech, big tech is all you will end up with. #OnlineSafetyAct
