Hallo? Wie Mega ist das den bitte? @Mastodon hat soeben stellvertretend für die Idee des #Fediverse den #grimmeonlineaward erhalten! ❤️ Euch und uns allen herzlichen Glückwunsch!!! 🍾

Ich stelle heute die Mastowall 2 vor, dazu etwas Hintergrund: https://rstockm.github.io/mastowall/ Vor zwei Jahren wollte ich mit der #mastowall ein konkretes Problem lösen: es gab kein Pendant für die klassischen Twitter-Walls auf Mastodon. Ziel war es […] [Original post on chaos.social]

#notetoself: Nächstes Mal für die online #personalausweis Funktion: - Personalausweis am Handy dranlassen, nicht wieder wieder wegnehmen! - :nixos: auf #nixos: programs.ausweisapp.enable=true und programs.ausweisapp.openFirewall=true (braucht irgendeinen Port)

Had anyone tried #nixmaid, an systemd-based, fresh alternative to #homemanager? I do like the concept and have had my problems with home-managers slow sequential activation. https://viperml.github.io/nix-maid/ #nix #nixos

I finally beefed up my :nix: #nix derivation for the :gitannex: #gitannex standalone builds so the download process of the non-predictable version url is automated. It now uses git annex itself to retrieve the tarball from a matching commit in @joeyh's build repo. Funny bootstrapping situation […]

Is there sandbox weirdness going on with :nixos: #nix fixed-output-derivations (i.e. when you specify outputHash) that some tcp connections are disallowed? I can git clone in runCommand, but down the line a 'git annex get' (which internally just downloads another file via http) fails with this […]

Holy shit, it (finally) happened: Someone (I have nothing to do with) cited a paper of mine. 😱 Okay, it's an #MDPI paper¹, but I'll take that. For nearly 8 years of #PhDLife now (look like I'll be done in spring 💪), this feels a bit... underwhelming, I guess […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

There's something magical when your kid falls asleep in your arms. Even more so the older it becomes. #parenting #wholesome #papasein

Pulled out my SailfishOS devices again in Sept ’25. Still love the gestures + UI, but ecosystem and value prop remain shaky. Not daily-driver ready yet. Full write-up here: https://geekyschmidt.com/post/sailfishos-sept25 #sailfishos #jolla #linuxmobile #fediverse #maemo

Ich habe einer Organisation Geld via Überweisung gespendet. Heute bekam ich eine 1-Cent-Überweisung retour mit #spam von denen in den Buchungs-Details ("Lesen Sie, wie Ihre Spende wirkt ..."). Die Methode war neu für mich. Aber sie hat mich immerhin reicher gemacht.

I finally tried out a new cool feature of :gitannex: #gitannex: compute special remotes²! Git annex is a ridiculously powerful git extension to manage large files. It remembers which file is stored on which remote. Compute special remotes now take this to another level by computing files on the […]

Thank you :inkscape: @inkscape for having auto-save enabled by default, and also saving all the temporary stuff that's not yet associated to a file. Just saved my ass. 🙏 Next time #inkscape crashes on you and you forgot to CTRL-S at all, look at ~/.cache/inkscape

Ok, I still need a task app to replace google keep Problem is I have yet to find anything that meets these requirements * Able to be self hosted * Native android app * Fast/smooth * must work when offline, and sync seamlessly * Must support reminders, including recurring, location based […]

Attention Gen Xers and boomers with registered domain names 🚨 If you, like me, put a fictitious organization in your domain name registration 25 years ago because NetSol or ICANN did not allow you to leave that field blank, recent policy changes will make that organization name the *legal […]

If you are attending this year's @distribits end of October¹ and you want to be dressed 'appropriately' 😉, last year I organised that hellotux.com offers :gitannex: #gitAnnex² and :datalad: #dataLad³ shirts, sweaters. Now also backpacks 🎒 and towels can be ordered. I ordered several items and […]

Once you are done fighting it, documents typeset with LaTeX are pretty damn rad! 🚀 The automations you can put into place to help you focus on the actual writing are really something else: - different modes for notes, submission, and publishing - acronym […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

"60 Euro Strafe für vier Minuten Schwarzfahren. Das ist völlig unverhältnismäßig" #ruhrnachrichten #dortmund

Next month #distribits 2025 will take place in Düsseldorf. For me, last year's meeting was absolutely transformative. I have substantially changed how I work, and also the tooling I use for that. It is amazing what can happen, when enthusiastic people get together. The 2025 talk abstracts are […]

One thing I am really looking forward to is the talk "Forgejo-aneksajo: a git-annex/DataLad forge" by Matthias Riße. In 2024 he briefly showed how git-annex could be integrated with #gitea during the unconference session. In the months after the conference, he ported this to #forgejo#giteaand now we […]

🇪🇺YES: Germany is not supporting the EU's #chatcontrol bill as proposed! The blocking minority needed to stop this illegal mass surveillance plan seems secured (for now). ✅ Opposition now also from LU🇱🇺 & SK🇸🇰! #keepupthefight https://fightchatcontrol.eu

Kinda annoying that #platformio apparently has nothing out there that is properly citable. Don't they want credit? 🤨

Huh, a collab of Linus Torvalds and Linus Tech Tips sounds like a very fun idea! 😁 https://youtu.be/fcL941ePjWo?si=O9HuRi7sRIFNaYrx

Looking for a PDF viewer allowing me to specify an arbitrary amount of of rows/columns to view a PDF. #okular tops out at 8. Weirdly, in the source code¹ a maximum of 10 is set. But even recompiling² with it patched to 20 still only 8 are allowed. So there has to be something going on in the […]

Beginning to lose my mind again about #texlatex #biblatex #bibtex #zotero fuckery. 😩 Zotero puts the "Extra" field from the GUI into the `annotation` field. This is happily ignored by biblatex. The quest begins, how to convince biblatex to *please* display my note on this preprint somewhere […]

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door. Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

I just submitted my fourth and last #phd paper, this time to @plosclimate. 🥳 Feels mighty good to get this giant endeavour off my shoulders. 😮‍💨 Now on the writing the actuall dissertation... #phdlife

@simonmic just dropped a fresh :hledger: #hledger 1.50 release, and it's PACKED with beautiful stuff! 🤩 https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/1.50 #plaintextaccounting

The yearly :nixos: #nix / #nixos community survey is online: https://survey.nixos.org/759934

If you #selfhost your own 🍃 #overleaf, make sure to host a couple extra individual instances you can fall back to, because it will rate-limit your own compilation and lock you out when you least need it 😑 #texlatex

For some reason it is ridiculously hard to just ignore any first or given names with #biblatex. Like any sane person, I'd like to only see surnames in the citations. BibLaTeX really doesn't want you to. #texlatex

Hier ist eben ein Igel 🦔 über den Zebrastreifen geflitzt. #Tübingen #Lustnau

When you've had enough of automating every little thing and just want to get stuff done and end up manually generating a bunch of PDF plots, then concatenate all of them with #ghostscript, then extract the text with #pdf2txt, use a regex in Python to find some numbers and dates in the plot's […]

When your code works but no idea how

Getting stuck #doomscrolling #youtube videos is pretty bad and gets you nowhere. But doomScrolling with #adBlocker​s like #ublockorigin and #sponsorblock active is even worse - then it serves even less purpose. Now, nobody benefits, neither you burning your time, nor YouTube selling their ads […]

I really can't emphasize strongly enough how much I detest AI-generated images. I get physical discomfort having it shoved into my face *everywhere*. Even people here in the #fediverse post #aislop or use AI generated profile pictures. And all the robot voices on #youtube 🤢 It used to be fun […]

Der Bundeskanzler hat eine Frage:

"sideloading" is a stupid made up term invented to delegitimize installing software. Heres a bunch of other things I'm doing while "sidestepping" some supposed central authority: - sideshopping (buying stuff from a store that isn't amazon) - sidedining (eating or making food that isn't from […]

I just discovered #sioyek, a very fast and simple cross-platform PDF viewer that is designed around reading books or scientific papers. I auto-reloads when the file changes, so is well-suited for a #Latexmk workflow. Reloading is quasi-instant and also doesn't redraw everything with this […]

#Paris has removed the paving from its city hall square and transformed it into an #urbanforest #urbanism #owgf #solarpunk #climateaction

@nobodyinperson Absolutely. I'd love to see a bit more granularity in being able to curate my own feed. If someone is in the process of making a 30+ post feed, I'd personally rather be able to mute that thread and allow their other posts/boosts through then decide to mute them entirely for 6 […]

Does anyone know or use #Internxt¹? 295€ for a 3TB storage sounds... Too good? 🤨 But @adswa @mih made a :gitannex: #gitannex remote for it, so it is a real thing?? 😮 ¹https://internxt.com/de/pricing ²https://pypi.org/project/git-annex-remote-internxt/

What's the equivalent of #Immich but for audio and video files? I'm looking for a self-hostable #foss thing that I can throw the rest of my media library in the face (movies, music, downloaded youtube videos, etc.) and it'll sort everything nicely, maybe even query databases to find metadata […]

All the LLM tools are like 100 pages of markdown pleading with the model to be a real boy, 100k lines of boilerplate, but it's the 100 lines of handrolled crypto, and 100 lines of hardcoded leaking every byte of data that passes through them that really makes them shine

MG Motors verklagt. Der Fall liegt jetzt beim Landgericht München I. Da SAIC Deutschland bis heute den Rechtsmangel am MG-4 nicht abstellen konnte, haben wir jetzt Klage eingereicht. Es ist die erste Klage wegen Open Source Lizenzverletzungen aus Käufergewährleistung.

#PaperlessNgx has been released in v2.18.0. This release brings a feature I've been waiting on for a long time: A "full" PDF editor, meaning, you can sort, rotate, delete and split individual pages of a PDF. This is a very nice change, since […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Has anyone here published with @plosclimate? My manuscript is slowly approaching submission state. It is a very technical paper about the essence of my #PhD: quantifying natural #CO2 emissions at the #Starzach site (Turns out, it's a few tonnes per day! 🤯) […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]
