The end of 2025 means 10, 15 and 20 years between some of the most hilarious, funny and sad stories I experienced in the industry and no NDAs violated if I tell them. (I’ll obviously still change names etc.)

I guess the first one will have to be “hire a team to write our own SSL library. We […]

I am test some text generation with LLMs and I kid you not one of them just inserted

“OOC: sorry for the late response, I was away from the keyboard.”

Yeah… this is “thinking” on the highest level. The future. Such AI. Such wow.

(OOC = out of character. Used in Dungeons and Dragons for […]

@chrisjrn.fyi oh I absolute agree, that’s why I’ve also reached out to clients to have an internal notice posted.

I’m just saying that we, as an industry, often prefer to ignore ToS and license agreements when we shouldn’t (cough Docker cough).

@chrisjrn.fyi @markush I really don’t like this change, but I still try to be fair and at least decently objective.

The only opt out version is “for individuals on non-commercial licenses” which is AFAIK not for commercial use. So you’d be violating JetBrains ToS first (something you shouldn’t […]

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow.

This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

Setup a little dashboard for our self hosted services so @Airmed can remember they exist :)

I want to add a few uptime monitors and status of the Internet connections, but that’ll have to wait for another day. #selfhosting #selfhosted

TT-RSS is going away. It was the first feed reader I hosted and used in a regular basis and it was great. Sad to see it go, but I understand the reasons. https://community.tt-rss.org/t/the-end-of-tt-rss-org/7164 #selfhosting #selfhosted

Another small victory today.

A salesperson had almost convinced a client to move their email from 365 to Google because "they hold all the cards now". I stepped in and suggested they keep their email on servers that they control instead. The salesperson almost mocked me, treating me like a […]

This morning I realized I have *very* strong opinions on toast.

I’m having breakfast at my parents and they “prepared the first batch”. I now have toasted bread that’s cold.
Who does this?! It needs to be warm so the butter gets just the right amount of runny while eating it.

How did I even […]

I've setup an NextCloud instance using Docker some time ago to backup photos. All I ever did beside letting the iOS app upload photos was updating the container.

The container started falling apart.

I guess I'll take a look at immich which just hit 2.0.

I really don't need many features. I […]

Preparing a tool I used internally for an open source release is… tedious. So many small things the readme or docs are missing like do environment variables or cli arguments have priority when both are used to configure the same thing?

I think I need an intern who’s good at technical writing if […]

I just got an email from a “security researcher” asking for a bug bounty for an “information leak” they found.

They linked to the imprint of my blog.

Excuses me while I go and sit in a silent corner reconsidering my stance on politeness in online communication.

When your terminal supports less features many devs want than Terminal.app and you go to town with people asking five years after a ticket was opened if it’s being worked on…

Guess today I learned I won’t be daily driving Gnome Terminal any time soon […]

Some games feel like bullying, especially with three James Bond in the enemy team...

I'm also mentally not used to weapon accuracy for a character that basically is build for random around the corner spam.

@Airmed had her share of fun boosting ultimates :D

I am thinking about hosting something to post photos and videos preferably with fediverse integration but Pixelfed and Loops seem a bit more on the heavy side and I don’t need most of the features.

- can be two apps, can be one
- single user or OIDC auth
- doesn’t need to do any processing of […]

Two active support cases in parallel, one with Framework one with dbrand and both companies are doing an excellent job so far.

@martinicat I think that’d be a good basis. :)

I would have been curious if they worked with your Sonys.

@martinicat do you have access to live translations and do they work?
