man and it calls home to see if I'm allowed to do that.
@anth@a.9srv.net Iâve never seen my Mac do this? Hmmm đ€
The most infuriating 3 seconds of using this Mac every day are the first time I run man and it calls home to see if Iâm allowed to do that.
Okay I think itâs working now
Hmmm nope. I think Iâve fucked up my network for use with self-hsoted WebRTC. This isnât a PeerCalls thing at all, this is just me.
See if that fixes it? hmmm
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh cool! Gatherly needs a âMaybeâ for RSVP(s) :)
@bender@twtxt.net It used to work just fineâą - I wonder if itâs my WAF? Lemme turn the WAF off for this tieâŠ

Sobre o assunto da impotĂȘncia do design, nĂŁo percam o que diz e escreve o @entreprecariat@entreprecariat
SĂŁo alturas como esta que me convencem da incapacidade do design conseguir abordar qualquer problema de ordem social. Enquanto designer, sinto-me bem distante do que vejo ser o discurso da ĂĄrea.
A sĂ©rio, âhappisodesâ? :blobfacepalm:

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I might join, but cannot tell for sure at the moment.
This was a great read, btw. đ If you liked Event Horizon, this is for you. Iâm gonna get her other two scifi books as well, thatâs for sure.

My opinion, Meet is kind of crappy.
@prologic@twtxt.net hmmm:
Firefox canât establish a connection to the server at wss://meet.mills.io/ws/Yarn.social/l3oVrknUnjZo2zSQoGlOX3.
@bender@twtxt.net I think so. Have to retest it though :)
Oh, also, have you fixed https://meet.mills.io/call/Yarn.social already? It didnât work the other day.
@prologic@twtxt.net so far, yup. I recommend to make the event banner bigger. I almost missed the details of it, as the text is quite tiny.
So just @bender@twtxt.net and I attending our monly call eh?
All thatâs true! â However I am very competitive (usually with myself!)
Unless your masochist spirit requires/demands it, I donât see a reason to do something that will pressure, stress, and leave you exhausted. đ
@prologic@twtxt.net No pressure! This is meant to be fun. đ
Fuck me sideways, trying to repair stuff that isnât meant to be repaired is such a pain. So many pointless obstacles.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think if I was younger, with more energy, and wasnât blind with leberâs disease (look it up) Iâd be fineâą But yeah I get the whole âexhaustingâ apart. Iâll join you this year, since thereâs only 12 puzzles and as you say, we can âtake our timeâ it might actually be fun! (as opposed to exhausting and pressured).
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, lots of people are welcoming this change, saying they are relieved that there are fewer puzzles. And ngl, I, too, have been very exhausted at the end of the month. Itâs a lot of fun and I loved it each time, but yeah, it can be exhausting.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is actually a good positive change I think!
Personally, Iâll probably stretch it out over 24 days. Giving myself more time to solve each puzzle and I really want this event to last the entire month. đ
I might even do AoC this year with the elevated stress/pressure! â The last few times Iâve tried, Iâve always felt far too much pressure and felt like a failure đ (mostly ya know because of my vision impairment, I couldnât keep up!)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de My impression also is that good sysadmins are missing. No wonder if they all get laid off because theyâre ânot doing anythingâ and developers can just operate their shit themselves. Or so the bosses and plenty devs think. Sadly, thatâs the general view.
Hell no, devops is bullshit in my opinion. Most developers (including myself) are rather bad at administrating. A good sysadmin offers other skills. Great admins appear to just sit around, but theyâre much more proactively working than programmers who also operate the same stuff. The latter have a waaay more reactive work model in comparison. When things have already gone south. The sysadmin, on the other hand, would have noticed and thus prevented the vast majority very early on when it was far from becoming a problem in the future.
At least thatâs my personal experience in all those years in different projects and what my mates tell me from their companies. Sure, skills can be learned, but itâs just not happening (enough). And obviously, there are people out there who excel in both disciplines, but they are rare. Most fall in one of the categories. Not to forget, plenty are just bad at everything. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, we like to be paranoid. Weâve been right so many times. Unfortunately.
Triad Prague, is perhaps the only mainstream âContemporary advertisingâ company, who fucking AI generates âpixelartâ and everyone there is either too blind, dumb, or lazy, to at the very least, align the pixels, to a grid (or even check theyâre square, the same size,âŠanything really).
I guess they must have some remains of shame and self preservation instinct, that made them sweep these off their portfolio website and set the video ads with them, to âPrivateâ on YouTube.
https://youtu.be/s7GZK8FGRvA
But sadly not enough shame, to stop putting these on billboards, I have to see on daily basis and making new versions of them, with different inconsistent styles, of badly AI generated âpixelartâ!
I checked their website, this is their footer, with the text that always overlaps - maybe they also never heard about CSS, canât blame them, itâs only been a thing, since 1996.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, new cars are totally out of question. If I ever have to, only rather old ones are contemplable.
Der ganze Vorgang ist archetypisch fĂŒr die seit Jahrzehnten völlig ohne Not stattfindende politische Selbstverzwergung Europas.
A comment on heise about the recent AWS outage.
(Too bad thereâs no good translation for the great word âSelbstverzwergungâ.)
Iâm paraphrasing: Europe (and other regions) depend on US IT services, a lot, without an actual need. We saw AWS, Google, and Microsoft build large datacenters and then we thought âwelp, shit, nothing we can do about that, guess weâll just be an AWS customer from now on.â Nobody really went ahead and built German/European alternatives. And now we completely depend on the US for lots of our stuff.
The article even claims that thereâs now a shortage of sysadmins in the EU? Iâm not so sure. But Iâd welcome it, makes my job more secure. đ€Ł
Hosting services, datacenters, software, everything, itâs all US stuff. Why do we accept this, why not build alternatives âŠ
Are we some of the only people in the world that realize how fucking dumb all this Internet-connect shitâą really is?
Yeah, but donât ask me why that is. Iâve never gotten a satisfying answer when I talk to people who hype this kind of stuff. (I mean just normal tech people, not CEOs or something.) They just shrug it off and/or think that my concerns are paranoid. đ€
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hm, that might actually be (partially) true. Some external CD drives (without such a weight) start to spin/wiggle when the drive spins up and down ⊠Although I guess thatâs not really the case for Audio CDs as they are run at a fixed low RPM value, I think. đ€
@prologic@twtxt.net That sounds horrible. đ I wouldnât want to own such a car. (My plan is not to buy a new car after my current one finally broke down entirely.)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org First time I heard about eCall. I donât think I like this. đ«€ Feels like another attempt at going for complete surveillance. Yes, yes, itâs about âsecurityâ/âsafetyâ ⊠it always is.
Advent of Code will be different this year:
There will only be 12 puzzles, i.e. only December 1 to December 12. This might make it more interesting for some people, because itâs (probably) less work and a lower chance of people getting burned out. đ€
Personally, Iâll probably stretch it out over 24 days. Giving myself more time to solve each puzzle and I really want this event to last the entire month. đ
Maybe this makes it more interesting for some people around here as well?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Holy fuck! Whoever bought such a bed fully deserves this. There isnât the faintest trace of pity on my face.
@prologic@twtxt.net I donât want to defend this, but at least over here a SIM card is necessary for the mandatory emercency call by law in case of a crash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECall Of course, this enables all sorts of other shenanigans.
Hey all đ Starring up the monthly social call we used to have đ€ Please RSVP here if you can make it! đ
Behold! đ„ł I consider Gatherly âgood enoughââą to use: https://gatherly.mills.io/ đ€
Like these Car Manufacturers, like GWM, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW and whoever else does this stupid shitâą need to pull their heads out of their asse. :O
Obviously none of this requires an Internet connection, let alone a Network connection. All of it can be done over Bluetooth! Just like Carplay itself!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, this is similar to my 2025 GWM Cannon Ute (truck) that we recently bought. It has this app called the âGWM Appâ that lets you view various health/stats of the vehicle, open/close the door, locks, control the A/C etc, all from your Mobile Phone. â But⊠Guess what?! :D It has a goddamn fucking SIM card in the head unit (dash) somewhere that once you âconsentâ and agree it signs up to some god knows what local cellular service and all that wonderul functionality is controlled by, guess what⊠A fucking goddamn CLOUD service! da actual flying fuck is wrong with these people?! â Are we some of the only people in the world that realize how fucking dumb all this Internet-connect shitâą really is?
Haha, beds âstopped workingâ due to that outage? đ€Ș
