Newest Project: Yet another multi-tenant capable load balancer for large #bigbluebutton clusters. https://github.com/defnull/bbblb https://codeberg.org/defnull/bbblb https://bbblb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Not ready for production yet, but on a good path. The aim is to have something fast and […]

No

Apropos #diday, quasi alle Studierenden und Mitarbeitenden an allen Hochschulen in Niedersachsen dürfen #bigbluebutton über die Academiccloud 'kostenlos' (vom Land finanziert) nutzen. Das ist #foss auf Servern in Deutschland und digitale Unabhängigkeit im richtig großen Stil. Hört man irgendwie […]

Okay, I just unpacked a new printer+scanner combo and it ... just works? WiFi printer and scanner were immediately detected by #linux with all settings and features. #homeassistant found it and shows a ton of sensor values: page counts, toner, component lifetimes, ... I can print from my […]

Migrating my #matrix server from #sqlite to #postgres. This is sooooo slooooooow ._.

Just had to review and close a couple of #ai assisted (vibe-coded) pull requests to some of my projects. The PRs were functional, but poorly designed and bloated out of proportion. A common aspect was the total lack of common sense. No human would write test cases for trivial language behavior […]

TIL: Wasserkocher brauchen weniger Wasser wenn man mehr Eier gleichzeitig kocht 🤯

Fun fact: The #github code viewer/editor breaks completely if used with a non-100% zoom in #firefox. Everything that is displayed above the code (line annotations, highlights, code context) is some % off. Practically unusable. But only of you load the page with a zoom, not if you load it at 100% […]

Geil, #osma baut 2025 noch 2G Mobilfunktechnik in Fahrstühle ein und will ein Jahr später nochmal 1000 öcken um das auf 4G aufzurüsten, weil 2G ja in zwei jahren abgeschaltet wird. Na danke... :breadunhappy:

Is there a catchy term for licenses that pretend to be open source, but then restrict commercial use to a single company that controls the project, and also grabs all rights on contributions so they can rug-pull everything in the future and go fully closed-source whenever they want? "Open-core" […]

#noai #sticker #idea

Just ordered a #homeassistant 'green' as a late Christmas gift for myself. We already have a bunch of 'smart' light fixtures (with proprietary app) that I want to switch over. A smart outlet will replace the (cloud based) #Laundrify device that monitor the washing machine. Finally there is a […]

"We’ve since moved all our sites to the cloud. Our servers are now cattle, not pets. Nobody is going to have to drive to our New Jersey data center and replace or reboot hardware." There is so much wrong with this sentence... Context […]

Drei (verschiedene) Kuchen gleichzeitig backen ist stressiger als ich dachte ._.

Reminder that storing important data in #owncloud or #nextcloud or any cloud without extra write-only backup is just asking for trouble. Those systems automatically sync data between devices, they overwrite and delete files without asking. This can and will go wrong. You will loose progress or […]

I want that :awesome:

Here is a #Fediwall for #39c3 -> https://fediwall.social/?load=//defnull.de/static/fediwall-39c3.json It shows a couple of important accounts in addition to the #39c3 tag. Tell me if I missed something! :BoostOK:

"Hello, We're Firefox, The Only Browser That Hasn't Hit Itself In The Dick With A Hammer. For years now, folks use us because of our un-hammered dick. Now, you may be wondering why today we've brought this hammer and pulled out our dick. Well I'm glad you asked--"

❤️ for #fediwall because it allows sourcing multiple services to get a hopefully exhaustive overview of the #39c3 hashtag: https://fediwall.social/?servers=fedi.buzz,c3d2.social,toot.kif.rocks,chaos.social,23.social&tags=39c3&accounts=&limit=100

Hm. #redis fails to start in a vanilla #ubuntu 22 container started with #incus on #debian #trixie because of permission denied errors for /var/log/redis. And I have no idea, why. I suspect systemd hardening of the redis service and/or a bug in incus. Meh :thisisfine:

Go to https://fediwall.social/ and press 'w' :awesome: #Fediwall #js #whynot

The #python library #aiohttp uses #yarl for URLs internally, and yarl normalizes URLs by default. It silently decodes some %-encoded characters in the query string that do not strictly need to be encoded. Sounds harmless, but it isn't. Changing the URL breaks any protocol that signs important […]

Gestern, #Sträter in der Lokhalle #gottingen. 19 Uhr Einlass, 23:50 wieder raus. Er hatte Spaß. Wir auch. Aber heute hab ich Muskelkater im Gesicht. Irgendas ist ja immer. Gott war das gut!

The beauty of #foss: If the situation is bad enough for long enough, someone will come up with a solution. I try to be that someone from time to time.

Thank you #sqlite for existing and beeing so friggin usefull and nice to use. You saved me from having to use #excel today and I'm very grateful for that.

Every single time #graylog is updated at my workplace, a script is triggered that checks out a single #java file from the upstream #git repository, applies a patch, compiles it, and injects the compiled class file back into the server jar, then restarts Graylog. Because they never fixed the […]

Small feature upgrade for my personal QR code generator. You can now also change color, size and effect. Because, why not? https://defnull.de/qr/ #qr #qrcode #foss #noads

Curious to see the Max Planck Fediverse buzzing? Here's a Fediwall https://s.academiccloud.de/3iVQJA Fediwall app, primarily made for large screens in public spaces to follow self-updating posts of curated accounts and hashtags, is also a fun way to find new profiles to follow! Brought to you […]

SQL dumps created with current releases of "pg_dump" (namely 17.6, 16.10, 15.14, 14.19 or 13.22) can no longer be loaded with earlier versions of "psql" because they contain new "\restrict" commands that did not exist in earlier versions and will cause "invalid command" errors. The reason for […]

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours. - Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours) - more intuitive for people who use electricity - never the confusing between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' […]

I wrote a #nonogram generator and solver in Python today. Don't ask why :breadpeek: And here is a graph showing the percentage of randomly generated 10x10 nonograms that can be solved without guessing, depending on the density of colored cells. Just because! […] [Original post on chaos.social]

“Oh. Oh, no” “What?” “I think this is a simulation.” “What is?” “THIS. Everything. The universe. Us.” “What, like _The_Matrix_” “Yea, but not as trans.” “Wait, the Matrix is trans?” “Where have you been. Anyway, Simulation panic!” “How can you tell” “I’m thinking about aliens. Like, if […]

I really like the zip-bomb idea to waste AI crawler resources and tweaked it a bit. My version is now also a tar pit (infinite pages, rate-limited) and not only expands to ~8GB of HTML, but also lots of DOM nodes that are extra taxing on the layout engine of headless browsers. Humans or 'good' […]

fun! :ms_bomb: https://ache.one/notes/html_zip_bomb #ai

That feeling when the browser asks you for your #passkey PIN but it's actually not a PIN but a passphrase and you enter the #yubikey PIN instead twice and get increasingly serious warnings about permanent lockout before realizing ...
