Good morning! #CatsOfMastodon #KatLand #Cats #BlackCat #Cat

He was sleeping and suddenly startled by a weird sound in the house, so in stead of a quitely sleeping cat picture, this is what I got.

Ich ändere meinen Namen jetzt von Dr. Orthmann auf Dr. Dolittle. 😬

Mit dem ersten Kaffee im Bett kam nicht nur das Hörnchen zum Frühstück vorbei, sondern auch ein Rotkehlchen. Ich glaube, wir waren alle etwas irritiert. 🤣

Not only Nord Stream, but the infamous "Steinmeier's peace formula", and they seem to be willing to do that again!

"On 18 December 2007, Steinmeier and Dmitry Medvedev signed an agreement on behalf of BASF to exploit another gas field. At the time, 40 per cent of German demand was satisfied by Russian supply"

OMG, this too! He's practically one of the main architects of this whole clusterfuck — why is he even still in politics? 🤦

@kravietz @imsodin
> excuse could work for a single person
Reminds me of Soviet-era bureaucracy: pointless and inefficient — only achieving results in its own narrow field at best or having "cover your ass" approach in the worst case — with complete disregard for what it means in the big picture, which might be zero sum or even harmful. This is what happens when people get generously compensated just to "do their job" and bear no responsibility for their actions. This can't last forever.

TinyC too! A very diverse set of projects indeed!

ffmpeg and qemu are by the same person

basically, fabrice bellard is everything lennart poeterring wishes he was

@santiago @gyptazy
Ha-ha-ha, yeah, it's a controversial to say the least: on the one hand less e-waste as you reuse already available hardware, on the other — greater power consumption in most cases. But I was always fairly certain that PowerPC MacMini shouldn't be that bad as it uses the same laptop components as PowerBooks of that era, even the same CPU — I mean it's definitely less efficient than modern laptops, but shouldn't be THAT bad.

@splitshockvirus
ip link is actually the most counter-intuitive — for almost every other ip subcommand "s" stands for "show", you can use "ip a s" — short for "ip address show", "ip r s" for "ip route show", but for "ip link show" the short is "ip l sh" because "s" stands for "set" 🤦

@munir
You should interact with Russians more — Germans would seem cheerful in comparison 😂

@gyptazy @santiago
I could really use a more powerful machine with more storage and RAM, but G5 being a serious blow to the power bill is a legend, so I'm somewhat reluctant to make the move 😅

@gyptazy @santiago
Cheap enough TBH, I have this Mini running 24/7 — my Pleroma instance, print server and bittorrent seedbox are hosted on it.
I sometimes think of using this PowerMac G5 Dual I have collecting dust in the corner in its place. Do you have an idea how this machine fares compared to the Mini in terms of power consumption?

@kseibad@mastodon.ml У Tele2 сейчас часто бывает так, что это робот звонит, и проще снять трубку и послать его нахер (сказать, что предложение не интересно), иначе он может ещё неделю трынькать по нескольку раз в день 😖

Well I guess now's the time: It's time for me to #getFediHired

I'm a software engineer with 29 years of experience. In more technologies than one person usually encounters. I've been working in Javascript and Typescript for a while, but don't let that fool you: I do rust for fun and I'm down in the guts of the runtime in C++ if I have to. I’m fixing include paths in C header files and managing deployments and doing system level tracing. I do embedded programming for fun, and I've picked at the system level APIs of everything from MacOS to Android. I can cleverly hack my way past problems, and isolate the resulting tech debt with a good explanation and the conditions under which it can be fixed.

I leave every codebase neater than I found it. I can manage awkward technology transitions, and I can bring a fair bit of open source know-how to bear on things.

I'm a team-oriented, consensus-focused person, but confident executing on my own and iterating from there. I will boldly start and show a prototype if that's what it takes. I'm not easily bored, so if it just needs a heavy lift, I'm here for that too.

I've worked in PHP, Python, Perl, Java, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Rust, C, C++, Vala, Scheme, and a dozen more languages (and I'll learn any new one I need to) and have written truly unfortunate amounts of hardened, careful bash.

I've installed and built VoIP platforms with Asterisk integrations, I've built mail servers and custom authentication. I've built FUSE filesystems for fun, and I'm always after ways to make software simple, durable, and reliable.

Got a team that could use me? Hit me up. aredridel@dinhe.net. Resume and letters of recommendation available on request (you really don't have to take my word for what I'm capable of.)

@kaia
I've spent the last weekend in company of a friend who then tested positive for COVID antibodies — it might be a leftover from prior illness as express-test was negative and he exhibits no other symptoms. I'm still feeling well myself, but I'm quite worried 😖

@Forestofenchantment
Place them as packs in individual directories under instance/static/emoji
I also have a weird shell script that generates a JSON file with a list of emojis in the pack, but I think it's no longer required, Plemomber just scans for all files in compatible image formats in all the subdirectories automatically.

@munir With OpenWRT you can have all the advanced routing/filtering you want, just forward the ports of your externally available IP-address to your server or just any machine on your network — much more secure this way and with powerful enough router gives you little to no overhead, at least this was never a problem for me and I'm using a setup like this for more than a decade.

@munir
That's not a problem even when using a router, my Pelorma instance is also a print server, a web server, and a torrent seedbox and that's a separate machine from the one that hosts my Gemini capsule, acts as a proxy and a VPN box — this doesn't prevent me from using an OpenWRT router, which provides the basic networking and acts as a wireless AP for phones and laptops.

@munir
I would recommend WNDR3800, but it's quite old and hard to find, might also have limited coverage by today's standards — might be a problem if you have a big house, get WRT1900ACS by Linksys instead, or WRT3200ACM — which is even better: openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt320
But not older models, check OpenWRT wiki and see if it's supported by the latest version and whether there are any caveats in terms of hardware support.

@munir
I'm actually not against integrated solutions, when my olde NetGear WNDR3800 got fried recently, I ended up getting exactly same model. I was using separate devices in the meantime and found it… messy, if you don't enjoy playing around with complex network configurations, I won't recommend it — simply not worth it.
