  This morning I put the iFixit kit, that came with the #mrmcd26 merch, to good use. First I disassembled my headphones cable so that I was able to apply shrink wrapper to glue the two cables back together where they came apart. Then I took my wifes electronic kitchen scale apart, which seemingly died while in use. Fresh battery didn't help and after I opened the case I saw the culpit: One of the two battery cables (the positive terminal) broke. I soldered a small piece of red wire to the end...

  Nur falls es keiner mitbekommt: Die KfW-Förderung für Wärmepumpen wird gerade kaputt gemacht, bevor Menschen sie noch nutzen um ihre Gasheizung zu sanieren. Also jetzt gerade! Wenn ihr Förderanträge einreichen wollt, müsst ihr das bis morgen Mittag getan haben!

  I just had "the talk" with my 9yo. He came to me asking "Dad, why does AI use so much water just for generating one answer?" So I explained to him how LLM works, how GenAI came out of that and why AI is a marketing term and absolutely wrong in that context. Then I loaded GPT4All on my laptop and asked the thing what the result of 9+7 is. It took my poor laptop cpu 12 seconds to come up with an answer and another 12 seconds to generate the sentence with the answer. I showed...

  @blue1337blood@nerdculture.de Übrigens: Wenn man die Nacht durch gemacht hat und Tags drauf auf nen Lehrgang geschickt wird, wird man nicht wacher davon, wenn man sich einen Earl Grey in der Kaffeepause brüht und dann anstelle von braunrmem Zucker ein Tütchen Instant-Kaffee in die Tasse kippt... für euch ausprobiert.

  @fledermama@troet.cafe Ich würd ja anmerken, dass ich dieses Nadelgepiekse überhaupt nicht abkann und das dann immer wochenlang noch im Finger spüre, aber das ist eher so ein übersensibles Me-Ding...

  @fledermama@troet.cafe Irgendwie hab ich generell das Gefühl Raucher scheren sich einen Scheissdreck darum, was sie mit ihrem Laster da in ihrem Umfeld anrichten. Hatte grad heute einer, der meinte auf dem Aldi-Parkplatz an seinem Auto noch schnell eine wegpaffen zu müssen, der Rauch wehte dabei zwei Parklücken weiter am Heck von meinem Auto entlang, so dass ich beim Einladen im Qualm stand. Ich bin blöderweise Astmatiker und musste weggehen und Salbutamol inhalieren bis der fertig war.

  @Gustodon@mas.to ...and they still don't know how to properly predict how it will proceeds from where we're right now. Every single one of those yellow prediction line was crap and you don't need to be an expert to see that the latest one is completely bullshit.

  @bazkie@beige.party I took the 90s for the music, the 00s for meeting my wife and the 10s for my kids. But honestly, I'd LOVE to live through the 90s again but with my current skills and synth equipment just to see teenage me's head explode in awe of the cool shit his future self will be able to do...

  @pallenberg Also... die radioaktive Abfälle, die von kommerziellen Unternehmen generiert wurden. Gewinne privatisieren, Kosten verstaatlichen. Yay! @Umweltbundesamt

  Ich hab ja eine Kollegin, die mich immer wieder um rat fragt. Der geb ich auch gerne Betreutes Adminsitrieren, wo ich ihr dann Kommandos in die bash shell diktiere. Das Problem ist: Sie ist so super unsicher, dass sie sich bei jeden Handschlag drei-viermal versichert, ob sie auch wirklich jetzt lsmod ausführen soll. Und wenn man dann 10min auf den output wartet, kommt dann "Ok, ich führ dann jetzt lsmod aus?" Und es urrrgh strengt an.

  Kids are in bed, I just ran the Tr8s and the T-8 for half an hour on the balcony in the dark. It felt good but I need a bit of light for the T-8 at least to find unlit controls. But I still got it. Learned a nifty new work flow, too.

  After a longer break I gave the song a listen with fresh ears for mixing finetuning and maybe some last minute adjustments, filter swipes, etc. You know what? Fuck this, this shit slaps hard! I MIGHT tweak the rumble level a bit but the rest stays exactly as it is right now!

  I needed tonight. I went to a punk show. It was as I expected it to be, very Antifa, very fuck Nazis, very heartly and very loud. The first time I listened to WiZo was in 1994 when I was a teenager. Tonight, as an old, grown-up, I saw them live for the first time. We had elections last weekend and 30% of our village voted for right-conservatives. Another 20% voted for open Nazis. And fuck I needed an evening full of anarchy.

  Many know that ADHD is inheritable. But do you know how fucking frustrating it is to see someone else with exactly your ADHD who has not developed your copings yet? Last night I told my son to brush his teeth and to switch off the bathroom light when he's done. I just woke up at 5am and like the old fart that I am I needed to pee. I got up and saw light fro. Upstairs. "Arrggh, that kid! I told him to switch off thr light! And all he has to say later is Meh, I forgot!" I went to t...

  This week I received a few emails at work. Two of them were Copilot-generated. And I immediately recognized them as such, because the style was entirely wrong for the people who send the mails. One of the mails was refering to a meeting I had with that person. And the facts were entirely wrong. Things I said suddenly became things they said, things we agreed on changed... At this point I don't know if it was hallucinated or purposely prompted. My instinct is to pretend the mail was not gener...

  It's insomnia 3am again. Okay, it's 3:31 now but I woke up half an hour ago, as it is tradition. Been a busy week, stood up to my team manager yesterday and I'm still a bit angry but also happy that I finally opened my mouth. I used every lunch break to set up the Tr8S and the TB3 and trained how to play what I think could be a set. I'm still thinking I could do better but there is always a point to start at. One day I will do better. Yes, I compare it to that set I played at l...

  I think it should be clear by now, but: This is Mastodon, this is the Fediverse. There is no verification process here. If someone asks you to verify your account, they want to scam you. If you REALLY want to verify yourself, go to the next mirror in real life and verify to yourself that you are still you (unless this is an issue for you, then please don't!)

  @CalcProgrammer1@mastodon.social Fluxer uses Livekit as voice/video backend, which works well (at least in my Foundry stack for TTRPGs). There is an option to self-host it but they want to further improve it when their code refactoring is done. They also plan a federation option between selfhosted instances. I have planned to revisit the project and set up an instance when federation is implemented @himbokisser@blorbo.social @alice@lgbtqia.space @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange

  Today is a bad day. I mean it was okay until I suddenly saw a picture of Kurt and remembered how he was, how he suddenly died and how I was grieving about him. Until I started to forget. Everything came back and washed me away for some time. It got better, then it went bad again. Love leaves a mark on you and death leaves a hole. On top of that: ADHD makes you feel shit on 250% intensity. So easy to loose yourself.

  I just had a video playing in the background and the content creator person said "I'm not talking about this topic, you guys know we don't do politics on this channel". A few thoughts about that. Everything is political. Even saying no political topics shall be discussed here is political. Because it is either a stance from a privileged perspective (I'm not affected, so I can affort to STFU and I don't want to make you guys uncomfortable) or it is due to a dependency...
