Unpacked some old model railway stuff from my old Märklin and Roco sets after the move. Maybe eventually we'll actually have some space for a very minimal actual working setup (like a bare minimum oval on a smaller table). In the meanwhile I put the models on […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

While unpacking stuff after the move to the new apartment I found my old Nintendo Mario Bros. Game & Watch from 1983… So put in some new LR44s, and works like a charm 😎 #nintendo #game&watch #mariobros

Interesting how appearantly IKEA assumes you're working in zero gravity when fastening the seat of the "Markus" chair to backrest… looking at the picture the seat looks to be somehow levitating in the air while you fasten the screws holding it to the backrest […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

I just thought about adding a Mastodon link in my LinkedIn profile (I'm not particularily active there, but maybe it could draw someone to the Fediverse from the silo…). The closest I could find to setting a social media link was the "Instant messaging" options […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Hi all, it's been a while 😅 Just posting here to let you know that BeaconDB has been down for nearly 20 hours due to what appears to be a fraudulent abuse claim. Someone has contacted netcup with a few MB of logs that show the IP of BeaconDB's server being used to scan ports. netcup has […]

HJÄLP, BORTSPRUNGEN KATT! Min brors fina fina katt Iris har sprungit bort på ett för henne okänt ställe, och är nu troligen i eller omkring Bredängsparken i Stockholm. Om någon skulle råka befinna sig i de trakterna får ni gärna hålla utkik efter henne och höra av er om hon syns till.

Kräftskiva (crayfish dinner) today. #kräftskiva

As I already happened to tag 49.rc for Maps already last Saturday, although the actual release date for the RC should have been today, I did in additional import of the highway shields defintions from OSM-Americana. So now we will also support shield for […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Went on an excursion today after the yearly meeting for the Uppsala chapter of SSS in the old Scania-Vabis bus from 1966 looking at the on-going construction of the new tram/lightrail lines. #scania #vintagebus #tramway #uppsala #sss #publictransport

Sicelo brought #phosh to the venerable #n900 using #wlroot's pixman renderer as backend. It's not snappy as the device is too underpowered for that but awesome that it works ! #linuxmobile #gtk

Spent some time in Östervåla today. Also known as "Stolsriket" (the Chairs Realm). #östervåla #photo #travel #chair

Implemented loading the user's account avatar, and displaying it in place of the "default user avatar" symbolic icon in the OpenStreetMap account setup dialog (for OAuth setup of your OSM account for editing POIs in Maps). After a suggestion by @pigeon_ about […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Considering as a change (before the UI freeze for GNOME 49 in early August) toning down the colors of labels for cities and towns in Maps. Screenshots showing after the considered change in contrast to the current looks. What do you think, is this an […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a […]

Today's plan was to try out the new trial runs with the electric hydrofoil ferry in Stockholm. Unfortunately I was a couple of pax after they drew the line of the max number of passengers. So after a few hours the plan was to try my luck on the next run, but […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

In Huddinge the other day. Note that Systembolaget (the Swedish state monopoly alcohol shop) is listen under "Dagligvaror" (groceries) on the map over the shopping area, that was a bit unexpected… 😀 #Huddinge #sjödalstorget #sjödalsparken #photo

As the next step after making road labels and markers directly clickable in Maps, maybe showing the road shield in details might be nice… #gnomemaps #gnome #osmamericana #mapstodon #openstreetmap

@maartje I just created and posted a _blank page_ in Confluence at work. Mind, Atlassian #confluence does a lot of heavy lifting for a wiki platform. But, just refreshing that page is - 22 MB - 240 queries. For a blank page. Meanwhile, the 117k character Wikipedia article for `Boston` - which […]
