Thought about reviving an old ThinkPad X61 Tablet for fun. I even found a whole bunch of 2GB DDR2 SODIMMs. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a single 2.5" SATA SSD in the house that isn't in use and those things have gotten unreasonably expensive. There doesn't happen to be someone who […]

I'm usually not the person for street photography but I guess these turned out reasonably well. Taken two weeks ago in #kassel, Germany #photography #streetphotography #art

[uspol, satire] Breaking news! President Donald J. Trump vows to give most of US back to Native Americans, acknowledging that western settlers had no "right of ownership". "There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago", he wrote in a message this […]

That moment when your DM says he created new combat rules for his homebrew #ttrpg and sends you a PDF that's formatted like a scientific thesis, starts with a half page list of variables and has more formulas than text. I'm not going to share it here without his consent but it models, among […]

You might think working a phone repair kiosk is a waste of my skills. Yeah nah. Today, this kid came in with an iPhone that was more than cracked, it was banana-fied. “What happened?” I asked, turning the wreckage over in my hands. I don’t think there was a single salvageable part. “And have […]

The #FoxCalendar goes into its tenth year overall and its fourth year here on the fediverse. To celebrate, the title page contains a collage of previous title pages. As always, all photos were taken by me or close friends of mine. Feel free to share but […] [Original post on social.helios42.de]

You know the Bechdel test and its reverse. I propose a third form: does a movie have two non-binary characters who talk to each other about something that isn't gender? I can't think of a single work that passes that.

Jetzt bohren die Penner im Nachbarhaus schon am Samstag! Ist es denn nach über zwei Monaten Baulärm zu viel verlangt, einfach mal Ruhe zu haben? #rant

Hey, Hades, could you PLEASE pick up your wife? She’s nice and all but it’s December, we could finally use some winter. #godsposting

@cstross Can you recommend a platform where we can buy audio books of your works? If possible, I would like to avoid Audible because I don't like how much they push their subscription model.

[Online-Shopping, lewd?] Dieser Moment, wenn du nach Gothicklamotten suchst und ein großer Onlinehändler dich fragt, ob du noch eine Tube Anal-Gleitgel dazu willst... Ich meine, da gibt es natürlich eine gewisse Überschneidung in der Zielgruppe, aber...

Wenn man jemandem diese Regierung in einem einzigen Satz erklären will: Sie verteuert das Deutschlandticket, weil ist eben so, *schulterzuck*, aber sie unternimmt alles, damit Inland-Flugtickets billiger werden.

mastodon should fix the bug where typos are invisible in the editing box but obvious on the timeline

Hat hier zufällig jemand ein passendes Mainboard für einen Core i7-10700 (Sockel LGA1200) übrig? Mindestens ein M.2 Slot für eine SSD. Mir wurde ein Prebuilt Gaming-PC anvertraut, der in seinem winzigen Gehäuse selbst bei mäßiger Last überhitzt, dessen Mainboard aber leider irgendeine […]

You know what pisses me off even more than websites that don't allow + in email addresses? Websites that used to allow + in email addresses and have now changed their rules so I suddenly can't log in with my existing account anymore. #rant

Hey audio processing experts (looking at you, @halcy), are there any good audio upscalers, preferrably open source? I have a bunch of audio books that got encoded as 32 kbit/s MP3s back in the day and I currently don't have easy access to the original CDs. I've tried audiosr but that throws […]

[photography, female body, body paint, slightly nsfw] People seem to like the pictures from project kEINEvenus (or "(not) a venus"), I'll share a few more. kEINEvenus is a project that explores beauty ideals and expectations allocated to the female body […] [Original post on social.helios42.de]

The fan on my Framework 13 laptop made weird noises for the last few weeks but @frameworkcomputer sent me a free replacement part. Installing it took 3 minutes and the instructions were super clear. 10 screws (5 on the case, 5 on the heatsink/fan), no adhesive, no warranty void stickers, no […]

Liebe Freunde von #eurobox, #eurokiste und #Eurobehälter, ich bräuchte mal etwas Beratung. Ich suche für das private Lagerregal zu Hause Boxen mit Grundfläche 600x400mm, am liebsten mit Deckel. An Höhe hab ich ca. 400mm zur Verfügung, vermutlich werde ich da zwei kleinere Boxen aufeinander […]

Everyone is talking about how bad the #gpt-5 #llm is so I gave it a very simple task: [X] and [Y] are community events in the [Y] scene. How long have they existed and which user has attended the most events? It correctly identified a wiki page that has some of this info as well as links to […]

OH: What is this? I suddenly have energy to do stuff. Is this what being happy feels like?

Let it be proclaimed across the Fediverse that @DFYX is a genius! They've completely solved the problem of #activitybot not showing followers properly. Just tested their fix, and it works perfectly: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/list-of-followers-isnt-available-to-mastodon/4717/9

I'm beginning to understand why there are so few blogging platforms that work with #activitypub. I thought I'd make my own as a weekend project and while it shows up fine in https://browser.pub/, getting #mastodon to correctly display posts and followers is driving me absolutely crazy. Why does […]

War eine schöne #gpn23. Ich war zwar leider arbeits- und wetterbedingt nur einen halben Tag da, hab mir keinen einzigen Talk angeschaut und war zu faul, ein paar Leute zu suchen, die ich gerne mal live treffen wollte (z.B. @filmroellchen und @MiaWinter), aber ich hatte trotzdem Spaß und bin auf […]

Hat hier jemand Interesse am M'era Luna Festival vom 8. bis 10. August 2025 oder kennt jemanden, der Interesse hat? Ich habe mindestens zwei Wochenendtickets zum Einkaufspreis abzugeben, weil jemand aus meinem Camp keinen Urlaub bekommen hat. Eventuell sind es sogar drei. #meraluna #festival […]

Since everyone is posting their #moon photos from last night, here are mine. I highly recommend viewing them full size as the preview might crop the most important part. #photography

Hey, #3dprinting folks, is there somewhere that sells PLA filament in small quantities (like 50g) for when I just need a little of a color for a one-off project and don't want to buy a whole spool? I've tried one of those mixed color sets for 3d printing pens that get sold on Amazon but the […]

Does anyone here have experience with C# P/Invoke? I've successfully compiled mruby as a DLL and am trying to wrap it but get access violations when calling mrb_get_args_a(mrb_state*, char*, void**), presumably because of the last parameter which expects an array of void* that will be filled by […]

[Rant Arbeit, Ausbeutung] Und wieder sitze ich hier und lasse mir eine Präsentation zeigen, in der von einem Rekordjahr 2024, einem übererfüllten ersten Quartal 2025 gesprochen wird. Und ich frage mich, wie das damit vereinbar ist, dass ich inflationsbereinigt inzwischen 13% weniger verdiene […]
