ah hello @mxmehlMax Mehl! I see you are listed as "Open Source Strategy & Governance" at DB! opensource.deutschebahn.com/op
Is there any plan to bring twitter.com/db_info and other DB info sources into the fediverse? Would love to follow specific lines like the U8 and get notified here when they are having delays etc!

What's the purpose of this device that we found in the kitchen of our rental apartment? Wrong answers only!

(But also, I have honestly no idea and would like to know the actual answer! :D)

The device is an arrangement of sharp blades which form a circular pattern, plus a small circle in the middle, plus eight-circle segments connecting the two. This can be pressed against a flexible thin metal strip.

It's interesting to get a follow from Threads & Ktistec at the same time, two very different "pieces of the fediverse" but both able to follow my single user server here. Seeing this decentralized infrastructure actually do what it's meant to do in real time is pretty amazing. We have 1000s of issues still to figure out, but getting these types of reminders that stuff really is working warms my heart.
Hello to @toddsundsted and @timothyjchambersTim Chambers on opposite, but connected sides of the fedi ⁂

"Django is old."

Flip-side:
- stable, i.e. "seasoned"
- lots of documentation, example code, tutorials, forum posts, etc
- LLMs are usually correct because of last 2 points
- fewer security issues because it is battle-hardened
- conferences, event, community, etc is already established

2/n

"Django is heavy."

Flip-side:
- full-featured, i.e. "batteries included"
- all pieces are tailored to work perfectly together
- reduces decision fatigued, i.e. "analysis paralysis"
- quicker to start new projects
- no concern that a particular dependency might get outdated
- most pieces are optional or can be swapped out, e.g. Jinja2, database backends, etc.
- "stand on the shoulders of giants" instead of cobbling together your own framework that you now need to maintain, forever

transphobia, violence, discrimination

A ray of hope for trans rights.

There are more trans people, including trans kids existing loudly and proudly out of the closet then there have been any time in human history.

There are openly trans teachers and lawyers and engineers and scientists and politicians and diplomats actors, directors, musicians, and gag billionaires.

Within just the last 25 years, trans people have gone from only existing as a joke or sex workers or by hiding themselves in stealth to having multiple states and countries who have literally encoded trans rights into law.

Sure, states didn't have bathroom bans. But they didn't need it. It was just common knowledge that if you got caught in the wrong bathroom as anyone who wasn't cis ...

Informed consent was an impossible pipe dream. There were only maybe a few handful of clinics in the whole world who would dream of helping trans kids with any sort of puberty blockers or HRT, and even then, almost entirely off the books and under the table.

But we're here. We're loud. We're growing. We're only losing ground that was never really ours. It was only ours if we played the cis game of being the proper sort of super binary trans, and putting ourselves in serious danger to do even that.

How far will the reactionaries go? Who the hell knows. But there's more trans allies than ever. Hell, there's major politicians in many many countries all over the world fighting for our rights. That ain't nothin. In the long enough run, we're going to win. Will it be my generation? Zoomers? Gen Alpha? Idk. But we'll win.

I had the chance to cook Palestinian Rice Pot (Qudra) earlier. Palestinian Rice Pot (Qudra) is one of the staple Palestinian dishes. I’m going to share the recipe with you. It is one of my favourite dishes, I always try to cook it on the occasion. And I’m quite the chef, I always enjoy cooking for my family and my friends, and I enjoy food. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

A use case I did not plan for smolBSD, start it with 9p directory sharing in order to access a NetBSD raw disk image:

$ /startnb.sh -i images/base-amd64.img -k kernels/netbsd-SMOL -w /mnt/nfs
# vnconfig vnd0 /mnt/vm/nadd/disk0.img
# mount /dev/vnd0e /somewhere

happily crawl your old disk backup
