wichtiger arbeitsschutzhinweis: bei der elektronischen datenverarbeitung muss stets die eingabemaske getragen werden

Got me one of those IKEA ALPSTUGA air quality monitors yesterday. Now, after the initial calibration phase, the CO₂ readings are still all over the place. People on Reddit seem to have the same experience. This is mostly due to the #sensirion SEN63C using an STCC4 which measures CO₂ using […]

I made a venn diagram to help you understand Moiré patterns.

For some custom T-shirt print for my wife I needed to vectorise (aka. trace) a somewhat blurry pixel graphic and tried different methods. All the free web converters failed at properly detecting edges and saw shapes where there were none. Affinity v2 made […] [Original post on social.mbirth.uk]

We’ve reached a point in dead internet where AI is responding to support forum threads from 14 years ago with `sfc /scannow`. Even if this is intended to summarise the thread, it’s entirely hallucinated things that weren’t discussed. Nobody mentioned […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

What a great game by #ProfessorPuzzle. Took us about an hour the find #TheCryptoKiller. I love the way this works. Items have numbers, you can combine these numbers and look them up on a reference sheet, this then leads (or not) to some clue and/or […] [Original post on social.mbirth.uk]

What a great way to spend time with your loved ones. #exitgame

Just finished a #strangerthings marathon to catch up on the whole series. So I can watch the last few episodes together with my dear wife. Now, that I know about the mysteries of #downunder, I guess that makes me an Aussie? https://neodb.social/@[email protected]/posts/526843138210512088/

@piecelet My Discovery page shows everything in Chinese at the top while the detail pages use my configured language (English). Is this an issue with the NeoDB API or a bug in Piecelet? (Also, tapping an item at the top opens it and then opens it in Safari, too.)

If you want a rigorous analysis of why statistical #AI models collapse when continuously trained on their own data without external supervision and constraints, read this amazing paper from last year. If you want to get a visual intuition of how model […] [Original post on manganiello.eu]

Friend: The only reason I downloaded Ghidra was to patch out the license check for IDA Pro Me:

So, #atmosphere auf meiner #switch ist jetzt wieder auf dem neuesten Stand und Citron bzw. Eden auf dem #steamdeck ebenso. Das neue Metroid läuft auch. 😁 @mbirth https://blog.mbirth.uk/2025/12/06/getting-atmosphere-ready-for-fw21.html

After doing day 3 of the #taskmaster #adventcalendar we saved Christmas with the #talkingtables Santa’s Quest #EscapeGame. Ho-ho-ho!

And that’s day 2 sorted. #taskmaster #adventcalendar

That #taskmaster #adventcalendar is off to a great start. After doing various (German) #exit games and their calendars in previous years, we’re more than prepared for this one.

Drum'n'Bass and Half-Life seems to be a great combo. Dancing G-Man agrees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rJwql9e9WQ #drumnbass #drumandbass #halflife

Im Sommer habe ich hier einen Toot gesehen, wo jemand nach einer Platform sucht, auf der "überholtes" Schulwissen gelistet wird. Also man gibt sein Abschlussjahr ein, und sieht dann welche Dinge aus dem #lehrplan inzwischen nicht mehr stimmen. Leider gab es sowas anscheinend nicht. Also habe ich […]

Riding the #heathrow T5 transit feels a lot like playing Half-Life.

@neil As per your recent blog post: I'm testing Kagi News for a few months now. It seems to give an (AI-curated) essence of the most-posted-about news of the day, together with lots of links to do your own research if you want to. https://news.kagi.com/uk/latest Enable categories in the […]

Watched the first episode of #pluribus on #appletv, but they lost me when the whole premise is some "researcher" doing "research" without any proper safety mechanisms in place. Where's #osha when you need them?

@neodb Is there any way to set the language used for API posts? I've added a new shelf item via API call to `/api/me/shelf/item/[UUID]` but instead of “finished watching [ENGLISH MOVIENAME]" it now shows up as “看过 [CHINESE MOVIENAME]”. Even though my […] [Original post on social.mbirth.uk]

Das Videokonferenz-Dilemma: Man hört, wenn der Sound von anderen Scheiße ist, wogegen man nichts tun kann, aber nicht, ob der eigene Sound Scheiße ist, was man ändern könnte. Trotzdem sagt nie jemand was. Im Amateurfunk gibt man sich RST-Rapports, warum nicht bei Business-Videokonferenzen?

Someone from Hacker News has uploaded a CD-Rip (converted to MP3) of William Gibson's #neuromancer #audiobook read by the man himself to the #internetarchive. Originally released in 1994. https://archive.org/details/william-gibson-neuromancer-abridged

Looks like there's a bug in the photo selection of #ios26 and #ipados26. When you have a folder with just folders inside, that base folder won't show up for selection in the Album view. So you can't reach any albums that are in those subfolders. To test: 1. Create a folder in the root level […]

Es ist schon bissel absurd, dass man bei modernen irgendwie vernetzten Geräten die Wahl hat zwischen „lass es offline, nutze eine Vielzahl der Features nicht“, „sei von der Cloud™ des Herstellers abhaengig“ oder „nutze die alternative Firmware, die von drei Leuten entwickelt wird, die sehr […]
