I have all the popular ideas.

It's another day on which I beg y'all out here on the Internet that if you can't answer a question as posed, TO NOT ANSWER IT.

Your desire to feel helpful creates additional load on the person asking, *and* dilutes any actual replies.

Your reply is NOT helpful.

Not answering is a perfectly […]

I absolutely love working with databases as backends. They make it so ridiculously easy to implement abort and dry-run / test handling.

Just "ROLLBACK" at the end of your transaction (or just crash) and voila:

Nothing you did ever happened.
Nobody saw what you did.

I've been doing this for […]

The US is under fascist control. There's no other way of phrasing this anymore.

(Yes, yes, Germany and other European countries - heck, the EU itself - has a very long and growing list of eerily similar problems that we need to address […]

Sicherlich sehr populäre Idee:

Es sollte für's freie, gemeinschaftlich umgesetzte, nicht werbefinanzierte oder privatwirtschaftlich-abhängige Internet eine Analogie zum GEZ Beitrag geben.

I currently have to deal with the limitations of InfluxDB v1, and I'd much rather not.

Starfleet Academy opens with a young child forcibly separated from his mother, while she screams and cries, as does the child, given seconds to process, while in the same room as the perpetrator laughing at them.

Yeah, fuck this benevolent noble federation.

What a start.

I can't really see […]

What confuses me most about the #aws Sovereignty hype - even if they can't be compelled to handover a customer's data due to encryption¹, clearly they can be told not to serve a given customer or handover the metadata (bills etc)?
Or refused to be provided with updates, which is a proprietary […]

we all need a little less raging against the dying of the light and a little more coordinated tactical assault on the darkness factory

Heutige Musings - wie unbeschäftigbar in der IT Welt wird man eigentlich durch Engagement im #Betriebsrat und #gewerkschaft?

Und wie wirkt sich das auf die eigene Psyche aus?

Die Hetze hat Herr Merz halt schon einmal in die Welt gesetzt.

Es wäre schön, gäbe es wenigstens auch bei Politiker*innen ein Recht auf Veröffentlichung einer Gegendarstellung, wenn sie tatsächlich lügen bzw Fakten belegbar falsch […]

Is developing and selling software and services to, or purchasing them from organizations entangled with, the US government, its agencies, and its oligarchs treason yet, or still merely collaboration?

In "the will to change", bell hooks draws a parallel between male emotional estrangement (which is quite necessary to uphold the machinery of war & other systems of power) and the (enforced) disconnect between our values and those of our jobs, and how this mentally and emotionally harms us and […]

The news are overwhelming.

I want a personalized news source that only shows me news that either

- reasonably directly affects me (in which case I need to be told even if it is horrible),

- I can do something meaningful and impactful about,

- cheers me up.

Anything else just fucks up my […]

Fun fact: Inzwischen sind schon vier Bundesländer dabei, eine Prüfung eines AfD-Verbots vor Gericht einzubringen (Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen, Berlin, Hamburg), fast die Hälfte der nötigen Stimmen im Bundesrat. Das Thema ist noch lange nicht vom Tisch, es nimmt Fahrt auf.

I think I'll have to hold back a blog article I want to post until after I've seen this session.

Or maybe post it and then do the brown paper bag update in March ...?

Vergessen wir nicht, dass Friedrich Merz vor genau 5 Jahren sein politisches Versagen so sexistisch-gönnerhaft umschrieben hat, dass er damit ausgerechnet ein satirisches Lied der Toten Hosen in die echte Welt geholt hat.
