Kehraus (2017)

#afghanistan #cdu #abschiebungen #cartoon #karikatur

|hintergrund: thomas de maizière war der ansicht, afghanische Bevölkerung sei opfer, aber kein ziel der taliban.|
Karikatur "Kehraus" aus dem Jahr 2017. Thomas de Maizière schiebt einen kleinen Mann mit Koffer vor sich her. Dazu benutzt er einen Besen auf dem Abschiebungen geschrieben steht. Er spricht dabei: Wer schon kein Ziel für die taliban ist, sollte wenigstens etwas mehr Opferbereitschaft zeigen.

Dear whoever invented the HAProxy configuration format, wtf. Why. No. What.
Screenshot of HAProxy documentation: and this one: .if streq("$ENABLE_SSL", 1) will compare the environment variable "ENABLE_SSL" to the value " 1" (with a single leading space). The reason is the line is first split into words like this: .if streq("$ENABLE_SSL", 1) |---|--------------------| |--| 1 2 3 then the weak quoting is applied and environment variable "$ENABLE_SSL" is resolved (let's say for example that ENABLE_SSL=0), and finally the words are reassembled into a single string by placing a single space between the words: .if streq(0, 1) |---|-------|--| 1 2 3 and only then it is parsed as a single expression. The space that was inserted between the comma and "1" is still part of the argument value, making this argument " 1": .if streq(0, 1) |---|-----|-|--| \ \ \ \_ argument2: " 1" \ \ \___ argument1: "0" \ \_______ function: "streq" \___________ directive: ".if" It's visible here that even if ENABLE_SSL had been equal to "1", it wouldn't have matched " 1" since the string would differ by one space. Note: as explained in section "2.2. Quoting and escaping", a good rule of thumb is to never insert unneeded spaces inside expressions.

"Grönland: Keine Einigung zwischen Dänemark und den USA"

Was sind das für absurde Euphemismen.

First time I was amazed by mesh networks was 2005 at my local Linux user group (run from the university here). Second time was the OLPC-XO mesh workings. That all was pre-2010. What now? Fedi's nice. mesh would be splendid.

I dunno how to properly ask Gnome about this sort of thing, but I'm really hoping they retain middle-click paste: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/please-retain-middle-click-paste/33477
Please retain middle-click paste
Hi there! I see over in Disable primary-paste by default (!119) · Merge requests · GNOME / gsettings-desktop-schemas · GitLab that Gnome is considering removing middle-click paste. I love this feature and rely on it constantly; it’s one of the things I really miss in other operating systems. The discussion over on gitlab is locked, so I’m not sure how best to contribute to the discussion, but I do want to say that this is important to me, and I hope Gnome leaves middle-click paste intact.

Screenshot von der Tagesschau-Webseite mit dem Text: "Show-Einlage von Kubicki und Strack-Zimmermann Eigentlich läuft das Dreikönigstreffen immer nach dem gleichem Schema ab: Ein Politiker nach dem anderen betritt die Bühne, hält seine Rede und kassiert Applaus. Diesmal sorgten zwei Parteigranden für eine Show-Einlage: Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann und Wolfgang Kubicki tauchten - wie die alten, nörgelnden Puppen Statler und Waldorf aus der Muppet-Show - in der Loge über der Bühne auf und kommentieren das Geschehen mit bissigen Sprüchen - und nahmen sich auch gegenseitig aufs Korn. "Ich bin nicht Miss Piggy, aber du bist vielleicht Kermit", sagte Strack-Zimmermann zu Kubicki."
