Thanks 
@cfedev for hosting another great event today!
Make sure to watch for the Code & Coffee published sessions. (I still can't believe that was Micha Rodriguez's first ever conf talk?!)
Some great insights and demos, and as always, a warm, lively chat. CFE events have been a pleasure for years, and I'm always happy when I can manage to catch them!

在酒吧裡，隔壁桌一個中年稍老的大叔在跟小女生們說以前的歌內容比現在好很多，現在都在無病呻吟。
我也喝多了，轉過身去就跟他說「你說的民歌時代還在戒嚴，除了愛國歌曲就是超無病呻吟的戀愛歌，有趣點的就是歪歌。最好是以前的內容比較好啦。」
結果一群人很無聊的在Google老歌歌詞，只證明了不管哪個時代那些該來該去的情歌都是你跟他認真起來會覺得很難為情的東西。而老男人總是好為人師又喇叭嘴😓

<팔레스타인인에 대한 ‘조직적인’ 성폭력에 대해 왜 분노하지 않는가?>
(CTXT.es, 스페인어-한국어 ChatGPT 번역)
지난달, 유엔 인권이사회에 제출된 한 보고서는 — 오랫동안 팔레스타인인들이 주장해온 대로 — 10월 7일 이후 이스라엘이 팔레스타인 여성, 남성, 아동을 상대로 성폭력과 젠더 기반 범죄를 조직적으로 사용해왔음을 밝혔다.
이 조사는 생존자와 목격자, 시민사회 대표, 학자, 변호사, 의료 전문가들의 가슴 아픈 증언들과 함께 2일 동안 제네바에서 열린 청문회에서 발표되었으며, 여러 가지 핵심 결론에 도달했다. 내 생각에 이 결론들은 전 세계적으로 즉각적인 주목과 대응을 요구한다.

feature request for the next version of KDE plasma: achievements (named kudos)
@lynnesbianLynnesbæn 
imagine the speedruns
on the oblivion remaster's dialogue camera
prefacing this to say i'm really enjoying the oblivion remaster so far - it's one of the best remasters i've ever played, up there with need for speed hot pursuit and the last of us part one. there's more than enough posts that go "this feature sucks, therefore the game is garbage" on the internet, and this is not one of those. the original oblivion will always exist for those who truly cannot enjoy the remaster for whatever reason.
with that out of the way: i wish they didn't remove the "world freezes, camera zooms" effect when you talk to people in the remaster. the game still kind of does that, but instead of the abrupt cut and zoom, it does this gentle pan, sometimes taking three seconds to bring the character into view. IMO, it feels ten percent less janky and a hundred percent worse.
this video shows it right at the start. the character is talking and animating, but they're almost completely off-screen, and the camera lazily swoops down to show them. it's weird.
it doesn't really fix the problems with the dialogue lock that made it so jarring in the first place, namely that you can suddenly find your inputs disabled and your camera swinging around to look at an NPC that snuck up behind you. if every conversation in oblivion happened because you looked at someone and pressed the "talk" button, the hard zoom from the original release wouldn't have been nearly as disorienting. it's the fact that you can find yourself in the dialogue state when you're not expecting it that's the issue.
i'm pretty sure the designers were aware of this back in 2006 - one of the first times you get dialogue sprung on you is when you enter jauffre's place in weynon priory for the first time. a monk stands up, walks towards you while in your view, and then talks to you. the designers made sure you had ample time to realise you're about to be talked to.
but oblivion dialogue minus the zoom plus a slow pan is still oblivion dialogue. having control wrested away and "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM" shouted at you while you're quietly sneaking around and listening carefully for footsteps is always going to be jarring. why not keep the iconic hard cut and zoom?
on the oblivion remaster's dialogue camera
@lynnesbianLynnesbæn I think if I were quitly sneaking irl and listening very hard for footsteps, I too would have controls disabled if someone shoutet at me.

I have moved my mastodon account from fosstodon.org to floss.social. I want to make the reason I have done this crystal clear.
There is a person on the moderation team at fosstodon.org that goes by the name carrotcypher. This person appears to have posted concerning views on reddit multiple times, which you can see detailed here: https://floss.social/@lo__@mastodon.social/114370692794472318
Every time I fire up an Elementary Linux host or VM I am struck by how nice the desktop environment looks. Maybe I'll switch back to it at some point.
Testing negative for covid after 3 days (Thank god for Paxlovid), but still symptomy. Thank you all for understanding my lack of writing - my team has been on top of things and picking up the slack with the news stories this week. Lots of things going on. Take care of yourselves this weekend.

The Linux mascot is a penguin named Tux because Linus Torvalds, the creator of the #Linux kernel, was bitten by a penguin. Seriously, he claims he didn't actually get sick, but it solidified his affection for them. This is the best origin story for a tech mascot ever. Happy World Penguin Day.

Setting up the first part of the second network cabinet at the new 40k sq/ft warehouse today. (Just the essentials to get a few desktops up, and setup outgoing network connections for them; did the cameras previously).
nuintari's rules of networking 0x62:
When you move infrastructure to the cloud, you remove the necessity of repairing much of it if and when it fails.
That's good!
You also lose the ability to repair most of it when it fails.
That's bad.
You also lose an enormous amount of visibility into said failures.
...
That's bad.
