After years of wanting a 3D printer, I finally got my hands on a (used) Bambu Lab X1 Carbon today.
The 7-year-old and I printed a simple articulated gingerbread man, and the look on his face when he held his new toy was priceless.

I truly hate when websites serve me German content because my IP geolocates me in Berlin 🇩🇪…
There is a f***ing “accept-language” header in each and every one of my browser’s HTTP requests, and nowhere in there it says “DE”!
How hard is it to honor it???

After Japan earlier today, Europe is waking up to see some major outage at Twilio… And that’s bringing with it MAJOR disruptions with 2-factor authentication (I mean, your TOTP tokens won’t work).
Already saw it on at least 3 different websites!

Taps Ruby core to oversee RubyGems, Bundler
Ruby Central, the non-profit that recently seized some Ruby open source tools from maintainers, is transferring the repository ownership of RubyGems and Bundler to the Ruby core team.
