: heute ab 16:00 einkaufen, es wird leer sein.

Those people that are stuck in the WhatsApp-Bubble m( Why isn't there a boot to WhatsApp/Facebook phone yet/again?
They don't use anything else anyway..

Wow, early in the morning the internet pipes are a lot faster here \o/. Yet another reason to get up after sunrise.

10/10 would carry the keyboard along another time. Great way to hack on some stuff during breaks from the outside activities :)

Yesterday I had a nice day in Amsterdam. Friendly & Open city. The amount of bicycles is amazing. The public roads really care for cyclists and scootists. Was mostly doing random walking through the city without any specific tourist things as destination. Ended up doing a boat tour with just the 5 of us..

Sooo many open and login page hotspots here. Its great! At least compared to Germany where everyone and their grandma are still in shock of the mighty Steurerhaftungsbullshit.

If only those access points also provided IPv6 :/

Google is Adding Anti-Tampering DRM To Android Apps in the Play Store Slashdot
https://nu.federati.net/url/145914

Google has introduced a small change to Play Store apps that could significantly protect several Android users. From a report:

Earlier this week, Google quietly rolled out a feature that adds a string of metadata to all APK files (that's the file type for Android apps) when they are signed by the developer. You can't install an application that hasn't been signed during its final build, so that means that all apps built using the latest APK Signature Scheme will have a nice little chunk of DRM built into them. And eventually, your phone will run a version of Android that won't be able to install apps without it.

Where is my Linux phone?

I'm still waiting...

"WireGuard is actually securely deployable in practical settings. In order to rival the performance of IPsec, WireGuard is implemented inside the Linux kernel, but unlike IPsec, it is implemented in less than 4,000 lines of code, making the implementation manageably auditable." -- blackhat.com/us-18/briefings.h #wireguard

Spent the remaining evening until just now flying my newish 4m2 kite. I guess the term kitesports really means sport. I am all sweaty.

It is a lot of fun and I didn't bite my lips, tongue or broke a nose this time \o/

In a few more weeks I can probably think (remotely) about trying kitesurfing / beach board/cart.

First evening of my vacation.. After travelling all day grabbing a nom with a great view.

A week of debugging network boot...

A node does not simply PXE boot.

A node doesn't even emit packets on the physical interface when it says so

A node is configured exactly the same as all the others.

A node doesn't simply find its storage.

A node had a minor version difference in the PXE Boot Agent firmware... Due to stupid Intel requirements I can not simply flash another firmware. Must create a DOS floppy image first...

Why don't they support any standard tool for flashing?!?

My perception of code complexity seems to be off. I consider the thing we have been working on for a few months as very simple. The majority or people thing it is very complex :/

If you're too poor for A/C, here's what I did when I was also too poor for A/C. Copper tubing attached to fan with zip ties. Plastic tubing attached to fishtank pump, submerged in beer cooler full of ice water. Cold water runs through the pipes and makes 'em frostycold, fan blows frostycold at hot people. Works pretty well! Lots of guides online on how to make one. Put a towel on the floor in front of it, lots of condensation.
