So, the #Netherlands now has selected a prime minister for its new fashy govt. The new PM is not part of any party, and headed up the intelligence agency and the anti-terrorist agency. That doesn't sound foreboding at all...

If you're interested in trying #Linux, feel free to ask me any questions about it. I've been on it since the late 90s, so there's a decent chance I can answer your questions.

The Dutch VVD being kicked out of the EU liberals for joining a coalition with the Dutch fash, and the German fash AfD being kicked out of the EU far-right for being too much even for LePen are things that slightly cheer me up.

One of my favourite small quality of life features of #jellyfin is it showing what time the video will end.

Unpopular opinion, I think calling what you produce primarily #content devalues your work.

Great description of the current corporate media landscape, which loves franchises that they control while replacing creatives at a whim.

On Saturday, I was invited by a #German friend to come over for an asparagus dinner.

For those who don't know, Germans go absolutely WILD for asparagus around this time of year.

I was a bit nervous. as I never liked asparagus, so in the 8 years of living here, I just never joined in #spargelzeit. So this would be the first time I tried them here.

Well, I've been missing out, it was super delicious, and I wonder what was wrong with all the other asparagus meals I had before.

Am I the only #Linux user that gets turned off a project if the only supported way of installing it on Linux is #homebrew ?

I didn't like homebrew when I used a mac, and I certainly don't want to have it when I have much preferred package managers preinstalled.

I'm honestly still in shock from just how horrible the new coalition in the #Netherlands is. I mean, I knew it was going to happen for over a decade, but now that it actually happened... fuck.

The #cybertruck is one of the best schadenfreude products I've seen in a very long time.

I don't follow news from my home country #netherlands much, but I just saw that the coalition is going as fashy as possible. With the liberals (note for Americans, liberalism is not left wing in most of the world) being the most left wing party in the coalition.

Yikes...

Here's a reminder, EVs are not here to save the environment, they are here to save the car industry.

To get a glance of the #aurora yesterday, I walked up to the #forest. When I arrived at the entrance, I looked into the darkness, and realised that going into a pitch dark forest alone is probably not the smartest idea I've had, especially as I'm very much a city person.

I turned around, and ran into some people who also wanted to see the aurora, so I partied up with them, We walked through the forest for a few hours, climbed a big hill, saw no aurora, but had a good time.

How the hell did I miss the Aurora last night?

God damnit, the last season of #Dimension20 is so unhinged, in the best way possible. Been laughing so much.

#Dropout

ainmosni, 1 month ago to stackoverflow

The #StackOverflow #AI deal, and their reaction to the backlash shows, once again, that corps will gladly take people's good impulses (in this case, the impulse to help our fellow humans without expecting anything back in return), monetise them, and then act like the good impulse was meant to make them money, and that helping others was just incidental.

No matter how much you work, or how much you love your corporate employer, they don't care about you. Sure, maybe your direct superior cares, but he can easily be told to fuck you over if it suits the corp.

Last Sunday, I wanted to watch some stuff on TV, but my #Samsung soundbar interrupted the sound every few minutes, and then reset its volume to pretty low. I was too tired to try and fix it then, but in the last week, I had a few sessions to try and fix it. I updated the firmware, and even installed their crappy app, nothing worked, and somehow I couldn't reset the thing either.

Today I did another attempt, and fixed it. How, you ask? Well, the problem had a very feline origin...

Hey #Linux bubble, I wonder if someone can help me solve a small annoyance I have.

I work on a laptop that's almost always connected to its keyboard via a thunderbolt 3 hub. This works great, except that when I boot, I can't use my external keyboard to type in the decryption passphrase, and I have to awkwardly use the laptop keyboard.

Does anybody know how to force the keyboard to be initialised before the decryption prompt?

I'm running #Fedora 40 on a #Tuxedo laptop.

As my old NUC was showing its age, and didn't suffice for my #homelab needs anymore, I decided to build a new one. And because I prefer running all my #selfhosted in containers, but abhor fucking around with #docker and docker-compose, it's a single-node #k8s cluster, using #k3s, just like my old server. One big difference is that the new server has a decent amount of drives for storage. I decided to set up #zfs to manage that, and zfs is all it's cracked up to be.

Fun thing about high refresh rate screens is that #cats are much more interested in them. I vaguely remember that cats need a higher framerate than humans for motion to look fluid, so maybe that's why my cats ignored my old 60Hz screens but are much more entranced by the 144Hz screens.

Hey #ZFS people, do you know of any good services that can be used to backup zfs snapshots to?

Listening to a #podcast about #cryptography in #golang, and it’s quite interesting. One bonus is that one of the guests has the most Italian accent I’ve ever heard, which makes it fun to listen to him speak.
