Endlich ist das #Asthma auch mal zu was nütze! 😉

Thanks to @joeyh for the inspiration to do a #vaccination #selfie!

In #homeoffice, no one can hear you typing. #mechanicalkeyboard #covid19 #quarantine #selfisolation #alien (SCNR)

My most often used #shell aliases for #git:

alias gap='git add -p'
alias amend='git commit --amend'
alias ga='git annex'

I'll try to organize a #mechanicalkeyboard #meetup @mch2022camp: https://wiki.mch2022.org/Session:Mechanical_Keyboard_Meetup

If you bring your mechanical #keyboard(s) or other interesting #hid (human interface devices) to #MCH2022, feel free to come, show it to others and try out others' keyboards. If you don't have a mechanical keyboard with you, feel free to come anyway and try them out to see if this is something for you.

Oh, and I'd be happy if I get some help in organizing this session. Still need a location.

Oh, and I just noticed that if you call just "isoquery -f" without further parameters, you basically get all flags of the world. :-)

#isoquery now can output country flags via Unicode's REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTERS: https://github.com/toddy15/isoquery/issues/5

~ → isoquery -f ch
CH CHE 756 🇨🇭 Switzerland
~ → isoquery -f de
DE DEU 276 🇩🇪 Germany
~ → isoquery -f fr
FR FRA 250 🇫🇷 France

Thanks Toddy for implementing this feature request of mine!

Why are neither #ownCloud nor #NextCloud providing reliable server packages in .deb or .rpm format? 😠

Nextcloud only provides packages in generally ugly container formats. image formats or tar balls without any chance on automatic updates and ownCloud says that .deb/.rpm packages are "not the recommended way" and that if you still insist to use them, it is "strongly recommend that you avoid automatically updating". 🤦‍♂️

Hey, guess why I want proper packages? Because I want automatic updates! 😒

Wow, #Lokalwerbung in #Zürich fürs #2CV-#Welttreffen bei #Delémont _nächstes_ Jahr (https://2cv2023.ch/, ursprünglich für 2021 geplant). Vielleicht haben aber auch die oben im Bild sichtbaren Sticker von den 2CV-Welttreffen 2003 (Vinadio, Italien) und 2009 (Most, Tschechische Republik) was getriggert. Ich habe mich jedenfalls sehr gefreut, auch wenn ich bereits seit 2020 ein Ticket dafür habe. Hoffen wir nur, dass es sich nicht terminlich mit dem #CCCamp23 beisst. (Cc @ajuvo 🙂)

Dank europäischem Nicht-EU-Land, einem unterirdisch schlechten Service von #UPS und eines sehr geduldigen @mntmn habe ich nun seit gestern endlich auch meinen #MNTReform Bausatz. Gestern Abend zusammengebaut und von der Qualität der Hardware, Bauanleitung und des Handbuches begeistert. Auch das Unboxing war mehr Erlebnis als erwartet. Nur die mitgelieferte SD-Karte mit Debian könnte noch etwas Liebe gebrauchen: Kernel kommt nicht per Paket, etc. Auch überraschend: Kein Debian Stable sondern Sid.

#TIL: #mtr optionally can also display #ASN and country codes with "-y0" (alias: -z) and "-y2". Not at the same time, though.

Found the following reject message in the log file of an #email server in #Switzerland:

550 Your country is not allowed to connect to this server.

#WTF? What kind of #discrimination via #SMTP is this?

I wonder if this is #GDPR / #DSGVO related and some lesser educated person from outside Europe thinks that Switzerland belongs to the #EU…

In the past few years I at least noticed such incompetent behaviour with the websites of several US newspapers. But for SMTP, that's something new.

I soldered a 30% #Gherkin #mechanicalkeyboard this weekend. Sports KAT Eternal keycaps and #QMK firmware. Both, the Gherkin design as well as QMK are free and open source software respectively hardware: https://qmk.fm/ + https://www.40percent.club/ (No, it's not the new Raspberry Pi Pico based Gherkin, but the original #ProMicro based one. The #SparkFun Pro Micro is #openhardware as well.)

Note that I shifted the bottom row by 1u. Cant't work without offset there. Space is bottom right.

I'm pleased how many different options came up and got seconds in the current #Debian General Resolution (#GR): https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_002 — I though would have been more happier if a GR on this #witchhunt against #RMS (and the witch hunt itself) wouldn't have happened at all.
