Leaving Vienna for #dectworld (Munich) in the small morning hours.
Pros: Every street is a pedestrian area when there are barely any cars.
Cons: Train station bakeries open way after the first train leaves.
Street at night: Praterstraße overlooking Praterstern plaza (with a tall navy memorial column) from mid-road. Street lamps, traffic lights and an ÖBB sign on the far side of the plaza illuminate the fog. No cars visible.

We're doing a bad job adulting with IPv4-curious ISPs. Maybe we should adopt the "This is not a place of honor" mem instead?

#ipv6
Adult lion and cub overlook the savannah: "Everything the light touches is the Internet". Curious cub: "But what about that shadowy place?" Lion, sternly: "This is IPv4."

Terminal users who use #accessibility tools, what is your take on emoji in console applications, especially compared to marker characters (eg. angular brackets for directions or hashes for comments) and to explicitly spelled out labels?

Does an "info" emoji […]

Looks like I'm in the right place to start a riot.

#RIOTSummit
View into a university hallway, with chairs, tables, a staircase, and digital signage saying "RIOT Summit September 3 - 5, 2025" / "Meet in Dresden!" / "Welcome"

Karolina Skrivankova understands how #iot really should work. The recordings of the #irtf presentation will be available at <https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/123/session/t2trg/>, but the slide highlight works standalone.
Slide showing different software on different hardware over time. Overlaid is a screenshot of Braveheart, with William Wallace screaming for "UPDATES!"

One season later:
All bloom is gone now --
more plants yet to come.

Green fruit on an unidentified tree. As with all pictures in this series, it is the same plant as in the original post. A raceme (mislabeled as an umbel last time) carrying small green fruit on an unidentified tree. Purple plums on a tree. Tip of a fir branch.

Spring at the stable:
plants out of muzzles' reach
grow undisturbed.

#plant #photography #haiku
A group of ~20 brown buds on a tree, looking hard like pods. A single purple blossom already emerges. More different trees blurred behind. An umbel of white bloom, with pistils extended wide for most parts but some blossoms still barely open at the top. It extends from between the lush green leaves of a tree. Cherry blossom, viewed from close enough to see individual, largely open, flowers. Closeup of a fir's new needles as they shed their brown protective coat.
