@sam this was fun!
I spotted a typo: `apk install acme.sh`
Should be `apk add…`.

I also wonder if the periodic script actually runs with the .sh suffix? If my memory serves me correctly you may need to drop the .sh suffix or it will now run.

@sam

amazing! well done!

@sam
Can I send my replies back via a UUCP gateway?

@sam MUST - RESIST - URGE - TO - BOOST. 😁

Also, very inspired domain name for a Homelab. 😂

Cool, when my wife was in hospital last week, I went to their cafeteria wanting to order some lunch. Their menu boards all in a Windows blue screen of death! They were still running Win7! 😁

@ispreview Wow that's going to be tricky - there are some SAN systems which have an embedded UPS in each SAN head and rely on them for consistency.
I don't mean the little cache batteries either; chunky ones like: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185128363545

I wonder which exchange set on fire for them to do that urgent requirement 🙂

@ispreview how stupid

@Wen So sad he didn’t need to refuel in Spain, where investigative judges would have taken him into custody and charged him with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

@Wen Shame it got there at all.

Living in NI I read most of the party manifestos at one point, but it's a whole special world of politics here

@GossiTheDog Because the government aren't actually providing any support?

@GossiTheDog At this point I'm questioning if JLR are ever going to return to production

@vestige please send this information, preferably in picture book style, to the orange president

@vestige Are you saying that the Oxford comma was invented by autistics?

Further, can we perhaps extrapolate to other overuse of punctuation? Perhaps Lisp is also an autistic invention?

@sam How did the sightseeing go?

@sam
Don't worry! Even if it all gets fixed Brandenburg Airport will lose it anyway.

@GossiTheDog see? Ya'll just should've sticked to plain #C. All these next big language prophets and "leading figures" are a bunch of digital sects and snake oil peddlers. When I actually have seen #ruby project for the first time, I was racing to get myself rid of it (cause of ruby, not project). Geez. But hey, ashes on my head, I still like good ol' #perl over #python any given day. And now, let the barrage begin. Don't be shy

@GossiTheDog
> Perhaps if enough of those in positions of power call him out on his bullshit he’ll at at least follow his own advice and keep his politics to himself.

This nails it.
You see the right wing complaining about tech people being vocal on politics when those are left leaning. But they can't shut up about their own right wing politics.

Alright issue 2 has been fixed with updates (remember 25.10 is currently a beta).

@sam I really like Becky Chambers' books. I am now reading the second _Monk and Robot_ book: _A Prayer for the Crown-shy_ and it also drips with positivity and comfort.

@sam I fully agree!

@sam As great as it is, I think the third in the series is just as good, in a different way.

@mainframed767 having flashbacks to eons ago where @mjg59 and I hung out on the couch while he reverse engineered an old amiga disk image to extract the zebra he definitely recognized and remembered the exact year/month magazine they used as an asset for one of the screens in the club. I'd turned it into a GIF/plymouth bootsplash that I ran for like 5 years 😆

A very retro still of a zebra mid-run, an asset used by the 1995 classic "Hackers"

@ChrisMayLA6 By extension it follows that racism is only one of many ism’s that emerge from the maladaptive behaviour. We call it racism because the particular focus is the human construct of race but I would contend that antisemitism, sexism, ageism, disablism, homophobia and transphobia are all different foci for the same thing. We really ought to have a name for the inciting socio-psychological maladaptation and seek to treat the root as well as the specific problem.

@buzzyrobin Can we say with certainty that this *isnt* just industrial sabotage?

@buzzyrobin what in tarnation

@Floppy?

@benlockwood We've lived long enough that "don't copy that floppy" has become "don't floppy that coppy".

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.

Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.

House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

@feld Can I quote you on that? :D

@dyke_du_jour could I suggest https://sainsburys.jobs/. Promise that you can be as remote as you want.

@dyke_du_jour if possible, any online portfolio surely will help you. Good luck 🤞🍀

If I give you three running debian 12 images each with Drbd, Mysql replicas, icingaweb2, ldap.saisie, pacemaker, sshd and backuppc, would you mind computing for me how much you would charge to make open source Yunohost packages so that Yunohost can create three similar running debian12? Most of the images have currently been deployed by open source ansible scripts. The images are already open source and running.
@kcanales02

@Rhodium103 Yep! Same firm who made the ‘Make America Great Again’ hats.

@jamesb Wake up your neighbours right quick with that.

I am interested in the historical use of these though. Dedicated telephone line that only gets called in an emergency?

Does anyone else have one of these we could borrow in Herefordshire sometime mid next year?

We have two. We want a third because electricity is three phase.

We want to do a science

Trinkteufel is a must do bar. Punky with a good vibe and a no dickhead policy. I think Pete Doherty got thrown out of there once.

A doner kebab from any place you can find is better than any place in Britain. I like the one near the U8 station on Hermannstraße but sensible people don't go anywhere near there. Believe me, just don't.

If you don't like buying drugs stay away from Görlitzer Bahnhof.

Kotbusser Tor is very dodgy but not as bad as people make out.

Don't go near Checkpoint Charlie unless you really want to. It's expensive and shit.

@sam I can definitely recommend the Computer Games Museum for some good nerdy times :) https://www.computerspielemuseum.de/en/43-Homepage.htm

@sam The technology museum is good if the kids are at all into such things.

The GitHub Continuous Integration checks are still running.

Assuming they complete OK, it's still up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
