Had I already mentioned today how much I hate parsing XML in my code?
Became a member of the (Dutch) National Archive club today 😉
Dear Dutch banks, hurry up with the IDEAL to Wero migration already.
The ads are getting very very boring.

@fabzgy@freiburg.social there are enough people who can’t have PV at home but do have an EV…

@blinry@chaos.social cool! Yeah, goggles help so much. My eyes have over the years become very sensitive to swimming pool water so I cant swim without them…
Ok sod it, I am going to bed, getting really frustrated with #JavaScript and #D3 in particular. That functional programming style is not for me.
I thought I was going to build something all modern and dynamic and hip and… oh god I really sound like my age do I?
I’ll just render it statically as a picture in Python and when someone else finds my project interesting (if and when I make it public) they can make it hip and modern.
I just realized I’ve been to three transporter bridges. The one near Bilbao I’ve walked across the span and “flown” beneath it, the one in Osten I biked past with @Zalk123@mastodon.nl and the one in Rendsburg we rode across the span by train… let’s add at least two (UK and France)?

@whreq@hsnl.social for the 2029 Dutch camp I wouldn’t expect anything substantial before 2028

@alda at least you can tell YouTube which languages you understand somewhere in your account setting and those don’t get auto-dubbed which for me solved 80% of the problem

@bert_hubert yeah, they are *lovely* people.
A week or so I remembered the last time they showed their collection and I thought really wanted to do it again
Ok, gave up on #SNCF and booked the bus for traveling to the start of the #cycletouring holiday. And after an evening of clicking on #BahnDE I have a plan for the journey back home. If I get the go ahead from @Zalk123@mastodon.nl the only thing we have to do is the actual cycling 😂

@BicycleDutch@mastodon.social De moderne straat is een mooie mix van NL en DE. De Duitse kant is wel erg Hollands, alleen de vele geparkeerde auto’s en de putdeksels verraden dat je in DE bent.
Ik had zin in kibbeling. Kibbeling gekocht. Kibbeling gegeten. Nu heb ik dorst want teveel zout 🤬

@kevlin or the “order before end of the day” timeframe is shown as before 23:59 or even worse before 23:55 when we all (should) know the day ends at 24:00 (insert 12 hour versions for those who believe in that)

@23n27@dgc.social yeah, don’t hand me an android phone and ask me to do something on it, I get so frustrated… I actively avoid everything android
The plan for our holiday is to cycle from St Nazaire to Geneva, so I need transport from say Utrecht to St Nazaire and from Geneva back to Utrecht (for two persons each with a bicycle)
The way back is “easy”, but reaching St Nazaire within a day (because we’re still on the clock at the start of the holiday) is a challenge.
There is no bike bus in the week(end) of our departure so that option is out.
Car is also not really an option, so what are your ideas? #fedihelp #askfedi
YouTube recommended (but I didn’t watch) a video about Bavarian weißwurst. Now I am craving wite woarst…
(That’s three languages in one toot, American brains are blown)
That’s disconcerting, being on the 4th floor and on the railroad next to the building a long and heavy goods train is passing. The whole floor is moving with a wave-like motion.
Building on wetlands #ftw
Just as all software in the end becomes an email client (or was it Emacs clone, I forget), every YouTube channel will eventually post a video about cultural differences (because America basically).
Amerika and America: (technically) not the same thing

Right, all the batteries for my drone are dead. Probably should have used it a bit more or at least charged the batteries…

@alda @specificprotagonist I only watch using the iOS app and/or Chromecast (or whatever Google calls it today) so that could be a factor.
So tomorrow it’s one of those “holidays” that the Dutch don’t (or barely) celebrate.
We don’t (generally) celebrate the 1st of May, at least, it’s not an official holiday
And
The end of the First World War is also not celebrated over here, because we we neutral. I think “we” probably made money from the war…
I can’t shake the feeling that these two are somehow linked.

But no permission was given, so they had to record something custom, but it is clear where some inspiration came from

@alda really? It worked for a while but a few weeks ago I noticed I got a few dubbed videos (YouTube probably forgot a few languages) so I set them again and I haven’t had a doubled video since (and I have, eh, 5 or 6 languages enabled now)
Anyone have a recommendation for a >= 4 ports EU/NL compatible USB-C charger that can do ~ 50W(?) per port? Don’t need to run a laptop of it, but I want to be able to (quick) charge my phone and up to three other usb-c powered/charged devices. Shouldn’t be too heavy because I want to take it with me on cycle touring holiday.
Any recommendations? #fedihelp

That was stressful as wel, for a second I was afraid that our chosen departure location for the home bound travel was actually going to be impossible. *No* ability to book anything for two persons and two bicycles through Germany from the starting location was a shock to the system. But, changing the starting location to a different city made all the difference…
