Alles open science aber Angst vor Spionage an der Hochschule?

I've just noticed that one of the RAM sticks in my machine is advertising different profiles and timings than the rest of them. Either a manufacturing error (since I bought them in a kit) or that stick is not happy...

Postfinance hat Twint gemacht. Twint ist unabhängiger geworden etc. Postfinance macht Postfinance Pay weil Twint nicht genug rendiert und plötzlich andere Zahlungsanbieter ihnen Ecommerce Kunden klauen??

Oh no, translation engines are starting to support Swiss German, leading to corporate people and spammers thinking we expect formal communication to be written in Swiss German. No thank you!

(For the uninitiated, Swiss German is a spoken language without any widely accepted formal spelling. So […]

The warm water supply has been struggling in the building all day long. It must be really cold outside. *looks outside* Oh, snow!

One day Valve will actually sell me hardware. It appears we're still not there yet. (Not shipping to my region)

Saw an ad for a service where ML "improves" your CV. Reminded me that I'm the weirdo writing without LLM assistance, just like the weirdos that insisted on writing by hand when I was in school.

(I have a post from a while ago with the same sentiment but couldn't be bothered digging it up)

I've been updating all (well, most, some of them talk with 3rd party services) my extensions with

"data_collection_permissions": {
"required": [ "none" ]
}

and turns out I'm just a bit ahead of schedule […]

I've been playing with #forgejo actions all day. A lot of the basics are barely documented or don't exist yet I guess. Plus it's really hard to search for other people doing the same thing. I also haven't managed to get the artifact actions to ever work. Nothing in the logs of the runner, and a […]

I forgot Tron Legacy taught us that it's okay if your girlfriend was a program. (Actually, I tend to forget about most of the story of that movie, but it's worth it for the soundtrack and the visuals every now and then. Which is to say, the 4K Bluray rerelease is good)

So how many grafana dashboards should I have? I'm at 16 and thinking there's still something missing.

...and that's it from Vancouver. Of course this was all two weeks ago anyway.

LOL. Airport says "be there 3h before your flight". Swiss people go "OK, I'll be there 4h before my flight to account for delays etc.". Checkin opens about 3h30mins before the flight. Guess which checkin counter has a massive queue?

Finally found a workbench backing/shelf solution that attaches to the table top instead of the wall behind it. A bit overpriced, but even in its current incomplete state it already feels so much better.
