@tagesschau@ard.social Diese Vermieter sollten sich auch um die platzsparende Abstellung ihrer Produktionsfaktoren kümmern - geht mir gegen den Strich, dass die Dinger überall IM WEG stehen! 🤬 Edit: wir Fußgänger haben auch Gefühle! 😉 Edit2: 'türlich kann man sich seine Kunden nicht* aussuchen, aber man kann für zivilisiertes/nicht-nervtötendes Verhalten werben, mittels #Werbung! ...macht halt Werbung dafür, die Dinger "freundlich" abzustellen!

🧵 2/n you know what, I WANT A LIST of NAMES, of elected representatives, who went into summer vacation early, so they didn't get to vote against the new #ChatControl shit. Do i need to compile this list myself, or does it exist already? We, the people, NEED to remind our representatives, that they're REPRESENTING us - they don't get to bugger off into summer vaycay, early! We NEED another mass-email effort! ...who's got that list, now?

Let's conduct a #Stalker2 2.0.5 (#UnrealEngine 5.5?) experiment. I've just started #Steam, after ~10 h, and immediately, i get a 3.4gig #Shader pre-cache update. And another 1.5gig on top. I'd bet, when i start the game, it's gonna compile shaders, regardless. We'll see; i'll start a stopwatch - twice, launching the game with pre-cache vs. self-compiled/hot cache. Edit: +2 pics, all right, if it's not a content update, you "lose" only ~40 seconds on #Vulcan processing.

#Twitch is AMAZING at detecting #frustration! Their #Algorithm just showed me an #Ad, right after getting banned for seemingly/reasonably benign reasons. just a little issue, that could've been figured out by competent mods Twitch continues to be a hostile platform, where reason doesn't seem to count 1 single bit. Biz as usual, i guess. ...why do i even bother; i have amazing DJ sets at home - i haven't found Gelbar DJ in Jeff's thing, yet ..their Synthwave Workout Mixes are CHOICE!

The enemy of your enemy is NOT your friend! They're your ally, at best, unless you've actually been friends before!

Also, the egg came 1st! Because the 1st ever animal, we humans would call a chicken, hatched out of an egg!

My point; the problem isn't real, and we all should be friends.

Anyone elses #Thunderbird (version 150) unable to connect to #Nextcloud #CalDAV calendar?

Copilot suggested running with logs: MOZ_LOG="calendar.caldav:5,nsHttp:3" thunderbird

My Thunderbird doesn't send the "Authorization: Basic.." header, which is why i'm only getting 401 Unauthorised responses. Same problem with #CardDAV address books. My Nextcloud server logs tell the same story.

I've noticed this issue after the recent big #Manjaro #Linux update.

Also, THIS nonsense!

WHY EXACTLY is #Steam downloading a gigabyte of shader pre-caches, despite the established #BestPractice of NOT interrupting #Shader #Compilation upon #Game startup?

#Stalker2 WILL recompile those, locally, most likely.

The Steam client is technically aware, that i'm using the #CachyOS flavour, and the PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 launch option. (Because i'm not aware of #AMD #FSR4 #WMMA mode #UpScale #FrameGen support in Valve Proton Experimental branch.)

🧵 2/n using /dev/disk/by-id/ links might be useful in such a scenario, but those long "friendly names" require too much width in "zpool iostat" - i'm using the short kernel names - nvme0-3. In my case, it's merely an inconvenience, because everything that needs to be redundant, IS. I'm just not font of the tools recommending zpool replace, and then getting noped out of it by errors like "nvme1n1p2 is a member of tank" - NOT IT'S NOT, it WAS, but it dropped out and got reenumerated differently!

Fed up with unreliably enumerating devices on consumer/office grade platforms. I'm building a new #NAS for my #HomeLab. Ryzen 3 3100, Zen2 4c8t. Great multi-core perf boost, compared to my i5-7500. I get ECC capability, and an amazing upgrade path. I'll use one of those weird ASRock Rack B565D4-V1L ODM/OEM mobos, for 50 € on eBay. The x16 slot supports 4x4 bifurcation; ASRock Rack RB4M2 holds my NVMes. I'll keep the old 4x8 GB DDR4-2400 RAM, of course i will. 😅

You know what; instead of chasing the next social media endorphin kick, how about taking a step back?

Just look at the world, and perhaps it could just FSCK OFF for a few hours.

Just imagine how pleasant it would be, to snuggle up to your blanket, and think some happy thoughts.
