Wird nicht vor den Kopf gestoßen

PC / General:

• Nextcloud with Collabora Office CODE Server for Filesync and Online editing. I also setup STUN and TURN for Nextcloud Talk, which I use to groupcall friends for virtual board game nights. And I use Deck as a Kanban-Board.
• Bitwarden/Vaultwarden - I do not need to say more, I think.
• Firefox + uBlock Origin. This combo also works on mobile, so… Good Bye ads!
• Thunderbird. Also available on Android. Though Thunderbird Mobile is the same as K9 Mail, but reskinned IIRC.
• PiHole (at least in my home network). Same as above, but also (somewhat) blocks ads in proprietary apps/devices. Even works on the ad supported tier of streaming services to at least reduce ads.
• SearXNG - Meta search engine, that you can self host. There are public instances, but if you want full control over the available feature set/ available search engines, etc. just host it yourself.
• I host a private instance of an unofficial open source web app of the board game Terraforming Mars, as one person in our game group has incompatible hardware for the official implementation. One of the options for the mentioned virtual board game nights.
• Jellyfin. My BluRay Player died. I had most of my library ripped anyways, so… I finally got around to set it up.

On Android:

• DAVx5 and ICSx5 to Sync contacts and calendar with my Nextcloud.
• Etar Calendar. It’s a simple calendar. Just a simple “no bullshit” app. I like it.
• Firefox/uBlock Origin/K9 Mail
• Signal/Threema/SchildiChat(Matrix) - secure messengers
• OSMAnd/Street complete/Organic Maps - all three are Open Street Map apps. OSMAnd is the killer-app that does everything. Organic Map for a more streamlined experience. Street complete, to quickly contribute to OSM by doing “quests” (= answer questions) in your surroundings to fill in incomplete data. (Street names, types of streets, house numbers, opening times, is X still here?,…)
• Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Roguelike Dungeon Crawler, high quality. Looks easy, but hard to master.
• Lichess - Chess app/plattform.
• Öffi - Germany centered, but also somewhat usable in other places. Open Source public transit app, with many integrations of local and national networks. The developer has had some problems with Google and their app review process (IIRC regarding donation instructions?), so better to get it from FDroid, where updates are not blocked by some company policy…

Hey everyone has a learning opportunity. Some even have a separate production system!

Our Strange Lingo

When the English tongue we speak.
Why is break not rhymed with freak?
Will you tell me why it’s true
We say sew but likewise few?
And the maker of the verse,
Cannot rhyme his horse with worse?
Beard is not the same as heard
Cord is different from word.
Cow is cow but low is low
Shoe is never rhymed with foe.
Think of hose, dose,and lose
And think of goose and yet with choose
Think of comb, tomb and bomb,
Doll and roll or home and some.
Since pay is rhymed with say
Why not paid with said I pray?
Think of blood, food and good.
Mould is not pronounced like could.
Wherefore done, but gone and lone -
Is there any reason known?
To sum up all, it seems to me
Sound and letters don’t agree.

- Lord Cromer

Hey Boss, it looks like those $50 ink cartridges still print more than one page with a filling. We can reduce the amount of ink even further!

Client: “Hey can we have feature X?”

You (internally): I already implemented that last year for you…

You: “Sure!” makes button more obvious, bills 15h of work

My boss makes a dollar
and I just a dime
that’s why I post jokes
on company time

Ich denke Vanguard (Anti Cheat)?

Remember “After Dark”?

Possible. On the other hand, modern games a crammed full of analytics. Wouldn’t be hard to send signals for every secret and then check if any game has reported those in question as found yet.

I’m used to search using a bunch of keywords. But this is true, even before all this AI bullshit. E.g. a few years ago I edited a video and I couldn’t remember how that one song is called that I wanted to put in and just entered „What’s the name of the song that plays when there’s a sped up funny montage of something in a video?“. It gave me the Benny Hill Theme right as the first result which was exactly what I was looking for…

The code screenshot is pretty nice though. Actual grammar in there, full sentences that “Goethe would be proud of”.

The syntax and all these Wenn reminds me of Cucumber/Gherkin

“we got a ransomware infection” vs. “Our data encryption got an upgrade”

Be the bright moth-attracting light you want to see in the world!
