    After #France started to move to #NixOS, the origin country of NixOS is now also running pilots of it. The #Government of the #Netherlands is testing and working on rolling out NixOS. https://tweakers.net/reviews/15334/nederland-maakt-soeverein-alternatief-voor-windows-en-office-op-basis-van-linux.html (Dutch article)

    Hmmm, the #TSB app takes multiple minutes to load when I&#39;m on my home #wifi, but on the mobile network, it takes seconds... Seems fishy, my gut feeling is there&#39;s a heapload of tracking attempting to load before the actual log-in and fetch data actions are taken.

    A lorry full of Worcestershire sauce crashed into a Lamborghini Murcielago in Loughborough today. The driver, originally from Saskatchewan, was thankfully unharmed. A local Ophthalmologist, Tarquin Cholmondeley Fetherstone-Hall, informed the emergency services using his Xiaomi smartphone. - A police spokesperson told local news that &quot;It is very difficult to say what happened&quot;

    After paying 60k on a #car, the first thing to expect is... #Adverts. And #BMW says it&#39;s a &quot;treat&quot;, a nice thing... https://www.theautopian.com/bmw-is-showing-commercials-on-their-cars-dash-screens-and-they-want-you-to-think-its-a-treat/

    Please help. My MSI Venture 15 A1MG suddenly has a weird problem. On the built-in laptop #keyboard, when I press &quot;Enter&quot;, either the numpad one, or the normal one, the whole keyboard stops working. Very weird

    2026/2027 is going to be the year of the GNU / #Linux #desktop! How far are you in your Linux journey? What&#39;s your daily OS of choice? (If you&#39;re forced to use Windows at work, I don&#39;t consider that a daily driver of choice)

    I&#39;m going to #Australia in a few weeks, for 10 days. What&#39;s the best pre-paid mobile connection to get? Probably I&#39;ll need mostly data, I don&#39;t expect to make much phone calls

    Just so you know, I&#39;m the same age as when Dvorak (the keyboard lay-out I use) became a word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Dvorak And the same age as VPNs https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/virtual%20private%20network

    Many people seem to have forgotten, but #app is simply short for #application. And an application is a bit of software that can run on a #Turing complete bit of hardware.

    #Powershop has released their new &quot;labs&quot; application. This broke my old CSV import from Powershop into #HomeAssistant. And I couldn&#39;t let that go on for too long! So I built a new importer for Home Assistant. https://firesphere.dev/articles/ive-got-the-power?mtm_campaign=social&amp;mtm_kwd=mastodon

    Alright, new #Powershop app. Time to start dissecting this thing. So far, 3 things are clear: - It looks.... vibe-coded? Is that a thing? - It&#39;s GraphQL - It&#39;s JWT - It makes no attempt at hiding what its doing

    I think the weather #forecast is a tiny little smidgen over the top compared to how windy it really is. It is windy though! It&#39;s just not _that_ windy

    Any #Grandstream users that know what a wifi client named &quot;stamac&quot; could be? I have hundreds of this notification. With two or three differenc mac addresses: Client { &quot;stamac&quot;: &quot;000000000000&quot; } connection failure (wireless) .

    Is this done by #humans? I&#39;m not a fan of these &quot;badge&quot; programs. https://firesphere.dev/articles/re-i-dont-really-like-the-human-made-badging-trend?mtm_campaign=social&amp;mtm_kwd=mastodon I prefer the human.json system. But, either way, I never use #AI for my writing, including for the header images I use.

    FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, #Powershop entirely overhauling their systems. Still no proper #API, of course. And no, I&#39;m not &quot;keen to get my hands on the new experience&quot; And I also don&#39;t understand why it has to take 3-6 days to &quot;sync&quot;... You&#39;re clearly doing something weird Powershop.
