At most, there are small interruptions in tunnels, but otherwise surfing, writing e-mails, and listening to music work perfectly. Even remote programming works. It was worth it… ⌘ Read more

Woohoo, sent Färjestad Karlstad home with a 2-1 so München is already qualified for the knockouts. 😃 It’s always like winning a trophy when a german team beats a Swedish team. #CHL

The #xmpp newsletter 10/2019 is the first one which got translated to German: https://www.jabber.de/xmpp-newsletter-01-oktober-2019-fosdem-2020-modernisierung-von-xmpp-peer-networks/

@mox@tilde.town I am also using #i3 for some month and really like it. Also I switched to TUI/CLI programs for some tasks: https://blog.mdosch.de/2019/06/06/tui-programme/ (#German). It’s a lot more efficient when you don’t have to change between keyboard and mouse/touchpad so often.

one german word which doesn’t have a good translation (see its root word) https://twitter.com/allgebrah/status/841732332449067012/photo/1

I found a word for this (and “spoiling a joke through explanation”), but the etymology only works in German:↵zerklären (zerstören+erklären)
