(#gwfjgha) @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net I got confused again, but luckily, the 2nd November 2025 at noon UTC is right on a Sunday in my timezone. :-)

(#yfymwmq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, now I’m curious what use case you have in mind. :-D
(#ykrnzra) @prologic@twtxt.net Ouch, I don’t want to get hit by these projectiles! :-O Is that black tube on the bottom the remains of a chair leg?
I reckon one could collect these hail stones and put them in the drinks to work around the lost air conditioning. At least if one doesn’t mind icy drinks. (I can’t stand that, because I immediately get hickup when drinking something cold.)

(#gwfjgha) @bender@twtxt.net Ohhh! Well, this Sunday is even more unlikely as I’m probably helping a mate in the woods. But maybe we’re quicker than I think.
(#7ddptia) @movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s way more expensive and time-consuming in the end. If only somebody had warned us!!1
The triangle reminds me of zalgo text: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalgo_text
A mate just sent me Microsoft’s magnificent master piece diagram regarding the end of life of Windows 10: https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/windows-10-support-wurde-am-14-oktober-2025-eingestellt-2ca8b313-1946-43d3-b55c-2b95b107f281
That’s what you get for training with zalgo. :-D Of course, this isn’t even proper German.
In case they fix it, here’s a screenshot of the enlarged frontal crash: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/win10eol.png
We’re supposed to see storm gusts up to 79 km/h. Let’s get the kites!
(I know, this is nothing for folks at the coasts.)
(#m4kmitq) @arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Der reine Spielzeugladen im Nachbarort hat auch schon vor Jahren dicht gemacht. Online gibt’s das halt alles deutlich günstiger.
(#53hvybq) Turned out I didn’t make it, sorry. Maybe next time. I hope you had a great yarn, @prologic@twtxt.net and @bender@twtxt.net, and didn’t waste any time waiting for me.
We had some gray soup with the occasional fine rain with strong wind gusts. Despite the bad forecast we took the train to Geislingen/Steige and strolled up to the Helfenstein castle ruin. All the colorful leaves were so beautiful, it didn’t matter that the sun was behind thick layers of clouds.
We then continued to the Ödenturm (lit. boring tower). By then the wind had picked up by quite a bit, just as the weatherman predicted. We were very positively surprised that the Swabian Jura Association had opened up the tower. Between May and October, the tower is typically only manned on Sundays and holidays between 10 and 17 o’clock. But yesterday was Saturday and no holiday. The lovely lady up there told us that they’re currently experimenting with opening up on Saturday, too, because there are some highly motivated members responsible for the tower.
We were the very first visitors on that day. Last Sunday, when the weather lived up to the weekday’s name, they counted 128 people up in the tower. Very impressive.
The wind gusts were howling around the tower. Luckily, there are glass windows. So, it was quite pleasant up in the tower room. Chatting with the tower guard for a while, we got even luckier: the sun came out! That was really awesome. The photos don’t do justice. As always, it looked way more stunning in person.
Thanks to all the volunteers who make it possible to enjoy the view from the thirty odd meters up there. That certainly made our day!
After signing the guestbook we climbed down the staircase and returned to the station and headed back. The train even arrived on time. What a great little trip!

(#74gq6ea) @prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I might join, but cannot tell for sure at the moment.
(#rlt43jq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de My impression also is that good sysadmins are missing. No wonder if they all get laid off because they’re “not doing anything” and developers can just operate their shit themselves. Or so the bosses and plenty devs think. Sadly, that’s 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 they’re 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 that’s 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 it’s 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. :-)
(#xxmf7ra) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, we like to be paranoid. We’ve been right so many times. Unfortunately.
(#xxmf7ra) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, new cars are totally out of question. If I ever have to, only rather old ones are contemplable.
(#xxmf7ra) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Holy fuck! Whoever bought such a bed fully deserves this. There isn’t the faintest trace of pity on my face.
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t 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.
(#qigsnba) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah! Maybe, but just maybe, this weight helps to keep the device from wandering around if a CD is spinning inside. CDs should be pretty well balanced, though.
Good luck with the replacement of the capacitors and reviving this player! :-)
(#qigsnba) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Where the heck did you find that? What is that thing? Yeah, totally looks like an attempt to make some garbage feel more solid. Unless this steel plate is actually used for attaching bolts from the other side or something like that. Which I highly doubt, given that there are muuuuuch cheaper options to install various types of nuts in plastic.
Yeah, this goo makes it just harder to disconnect. I bet it doesn’t add water protection to the connections at all.
