So great catching @me@joshuastrobl.social briefly at @jolla@techhub.social - it's been too long!
Watch his space... I think there's gonna be some cool stuff coming! I can't wait 😆
Sitting at the edge of the couch over #IIHF world championship game FIN vs SUI now going overtime with a crazy tight 0-0 game. Anyone? Just me?
Early flights: meh... But catching these from your hotel room at 10pm and 4am: worth it once in a while.

One last post (for now) as I can't keep my eyes open any longer. So much to do & see in #Switzerland, it's pretty tiring 😁 But I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
Here we were on a #toboggan ride and I was (not so secretly) filming with #DJIpocket4. As I was enjoying the views too much to be staring at the tiny screen to see what was being captured, I'm happily surprised at the results.
Hope you'll enjoy it as well, even if it's really 100x better in person! (Sorry 😆)

This Asian lady out-posed by her new friends at #PyData London 😂 Amazing event, highly recommend.

@anon@social.hostingbuddy.org AI has been around for decades. I was doing research in AI/ML 20+ years ago in college. There are a lot of people abusing *generative AI* nowadays, for sure. I don't like that either (old lady yelling at neoclouds here), but the solution is not to tell everyone to stop using AI, because that probably won't work. I think it's better to promote more ways to use AI responsibly - local inferencing, open source tools, resouce optimization, human in the loop etc. At least that's my hope.

It was a fun performance, also marking 3 years of playing together with these kiddos. #percussionists #orchestra #orkesteriTASO #TASO #percussion

If you happen to be in #Finland instead, please come and enjoy my #orchestra's performance "Dramatic Encounters" on Wednesday, May 13 at the Tampere University Hall! https://taso.fi/wordpress/tulevat-konsertit/#konsertti-kaksi

It was nice to relax and bbq with a lake view and company of good friends. Got a bit chilly towards the end (5°C with winds picking up) but a welcome break after a hectic week. Simple pleasures.
A case of FOMO as I browse through exciting #RHSummit posts this week. I find solace in having the opportunity to attend 7 summits previously, and following along this year with Keynotes & Recaps on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbMP1JcGBmSG1F0kPUCSFuKaQEfJd71TT
I miss the connections with people though...
It's painstaking work going through various #percussion parts mapping them out for a limited number of players, taking into account positioning of instruments, transitions, player strengths, and more. Is there a tool to automate this? Then again the process acquaints me with the pieces much better 🎶🎵
A lovely and thoughtful Speaker gift from #OpenSearchCon China - a seal with the #OpenSearch logo.
I've no idea where my own name seal went, misplaced it decades ago. Maybe I can get a new one sometime :)

Day trip across the border... any idea where we visited?

Well I already had the thought during our first trip to Japan in 2014... a really great way to relieve stress.
Train station experience in #Shanghai so different from europe. ID + security check just to enter the station (special line for foreigners), can't use self service ticket machines without local ID, another special lane for passports when entering the platform. I know the language and still felt lost
Replying to
@dneary@mastodon.ie yeah possibly. It's a nice sunny day but the heat definitely escaped somewhere 🥶
Here's the presentation @philnash@mastodon.social and I gave at #OpenSearchCon China about integrating #Docling with OpenSearch for advanced RAG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqUJVGyI5to
Our slides are available on sessionize: https://opensearchcon-china-2026.sessionize.com/session/1115191
Thanks to @OpenSearchProject@fosstodon.org, @krisfreedain@fosstodon.org for having us in #Shanghai!

@aperezdc@oldbytes.space oh cool! I've tried it in Taipei, while not quite like the real thing it's still pretty fun! And Malmi is a lot closer 😆

@richardazia@indieweb.social @me@joshuastrobl.social @jolla@techhub.social hahaha yeah I realized after posting that I was "catching me at Jolla" 😂

@harald it is really beautiful, but yeah the first part is kinda hard to watch, but then it explains so much the second half + the ending. I need to rewatch it sometime...
So I actually watched both movies #AnotherEarth and #Melancholia (found old tweets as evidence 😆). Somehow I remembered the former much better. Was ruminating over them this past week when I came across the #EveryoneDies audiobook - planning to listen to it on the long flight to Shanghai. Yeah, one of those moods..
Tomorrow (Feb 4) at #CfgMgmtCamp in Ghent, Ming and I will run a workshop on #Docling at 14:00 in B.1.031 - https://cfp.cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2026/talk/9CV7CY/
Join us! @cfgmgmtcamp@fosstodon.org

@GeeBee Gitter is now part of Matrix. I use Matrix quite a bit for various projects / communities / personal etc. I've also heard good stuff about Zulip although I don't have experience with it.
Another not to miss at #RHSummit - plenary session led by Mike McGrath on Community Day (today!!) kicking off Open Platforms track. Hear about the latest and coolest developments in bootc, Project Hummingbird, and RISC-V! https://events.experiences.redhat.com/widget/redhat/sum26/SessionCatalog2026/session/1772570127352001Vwpw

@ascherbaum@mastodon.social haha sure, the whole planet is burning up in Kelvin. Well, also in general...

@cyclingrichard@mastodon.social that's nice summer temperatures! It's 5°C here today, and I'm heading to Paris tomorrow which will be at 17 (and 22 on Tues) 🥵
Replying to
@moongold@mastodon.social yeah I was also using Ollama (as well as LM Studio) for a while. Good to know how the projects operate and what are the options. Glad you found it useful, as I did!

@jezlyn@mastodon.social @CherryPixelBun@yiff.life honestly I didn't play (m)any games on my Symbian devices. I've used plenty of them, but never had an Ngage either.
Maybe there are some gems in here:

@jrp This was the concert / program: https://taso.fi/wordpress/tulevat-konsertit/#konsertti-kaksi
No public recording, if that's what you're asking for (we're an amateur orchestra, GDPR, etc. etc.)
Got a portable monitor for the upcoming #PyTorchCon Europe. Easy connection with Thinkpad X1C, MacBook pro, pixel 9, ipad mini etc. with one cable. Multiple backup options if something fails! Although ipad will be last option unless I can calibrate it. #DPaltMode
