  I have another batch of #kombucha in second fermentation. This time, it seems to be working: it’s developing a nice fizz! This one’s green tea + orange juice (which I happened to have in the fridge at that moment). The previous batch, which didn’t really ferment a second time, was just green tea plus sugar.

  On this day in 1973, the Chilean army, backed by the CIA, overthrew the democratic government of Salvador Allende. They installed a dictatorship that lasted until 1988. Thousands were killed and disappeared. Keep this is mind when you hear USians talk about freedom and democracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Chilean_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat

  Wenn deine Tante stirbt, und dir 100.000€ vererbt, zahlst du 16.000€ Erbschaftsteuer. (20% für alles über dem Freibetrag von 20.000€) Wenn Milliardär Klaus-Michael Kühne stirbt, und ein Vermögen von ca. 42,5 MILLIARDEN Euro hinterlässt, zahlen seine Erben darauf etwa 0€ Steuern, dank einer Stiftung in der Schweiz. Eigentlich wären nach deutschem Recht knapp 12,75 Milliarden Euro fällig. Dafür könnten wir locker Klimaanlagen in alle Schulen und Krankenhäuser einbauen. #erbschaftssteuer

  Had my closest friend over last night. It’s perhaps the least urgent of all problems, but we talked about how middle age, for family men like us, is a new phase in life, and needs to be approached as such. The most urgent needs are addressed, and the big decisions are taken. Now we need to decide what we’re going to do with the rest of our lives. It’s a solvable problem. But if we act like the solution will come by itself, we’re asking for trouble.

  Love to see people posting about the Odyssey while declaring “no spoilers”. It’s pretty much the oldest story we have! Have you been living under a rock for the last 3000 years??!

  Yay! I've finally got my little Raspi Zero set up as a webserver, reachable from the internet. I've even managed to enable https (LetsEncrypt being awesome as usual). Now, er... it looks like I need to start thinking about a use case 🙃

  Ich bin traurig und erschrocken über das feige Attentat auf queere Menschen in Berlin. Lasst uns alle - und besonders Cishet-Männer wie mich - diese Tat zum Anlass nehmen, jeder Homophobie und Queerphobie lautstark und energisch entgegen zu treten. Das ist auch unsere Verantwortung. #csd

  Hmmm... 1. I write lots of things in Markdown. 2. Reveal.js can turn Markdown into a presentation. 3. Can I just turn any docs file in our internal git repo into slides? For shits and giggles?

  Erfreuliches aus dem ländlichen Oberbayern: Gestern Schulabschlussfeier für eins unserer Kinder. Schulleitung, Lokalpolitik, viel Tracht und Lederhosen. Ganz normale Leute, von „schon immer hier“ bis „noch nicht lange da“. Eine der Jahrgangsbesten nahm ihre Auszeichnung stolz im Kopftuch entgegen. In ihren Reden haben alle durchgehend gegendert. Und die Mitschülerin aus Kenia hat eventuell mehr fürs Englisch-Niveau der Klasse getan als der Unterricht.

  RE: https://mastodon.online/@mullvadnet/116957571811403553 Mullvad is all about freedom of speech, e.g. giving lots of money to Nazis. You may exercise your own freedom by not giving Mullvad any money, because you know they’re gonna give some of it to Nazis. It’s not complicated.

  Unsere Regierung könnte das deutschen Mobilfunknetz innerhalb von drei Monaten auf den Standard eines modernen Industrieland anheben, wenn sie die Mobilfunkanbieter dazu verpflichten würde, gegenseitig Verbindungen durch zu leiten. Es würde den Steuerzahler nicht mal was kosten, und die Kunden auch nicht. https://www.br.de/nachrichten/netzwelt/mobilfunk-frust-versorgung-mit-5g-oft-besser-als-gefuehlt,VPHKW9g

  Mal schnell ein kleines Experiment: Tofu-Eis! Hab ich noch nie gemacht. Ein Blocl Seidentofu, 150ml Hafermilch, 70g Zucker, etwas Wasabi fürs Aroma. Rotiert jetzt in der Eismaschine. In einer Stunde wissen wir mehr. #vegan

  PSA: no matter how highbrow your analysis, if you use “effect (sth)” as a verb instead of “affect (sth)”, I will assume that your thought process is as sloppy as your spelling.

  I can only admire the optimism of people who continue to argue with the nazis and their quislings at Mullvad. As if those guys were open to persuasion.

  Looks like there’s an opening in the market for a VPN provider who doesn’t give money to fascists. Just sayin this in case one of you nerds is looking to set up a business…

  RE: https://chaos.social/@slothrop/116704333247257385 Since Mullvad is proudly financing fascists, some people are now looking to Proton for their VPN needs. I suggest looking elsewhere - we just had this a few weeks ago:
