Starting next week ERPU co-founder and board member @jon is going for a new world record: the fastest time on the longest uninterrupted rail journey in Europe! 6281.6km of train travel from Kemijärvi, Finland to Lagos, Portugal.

You can find all of the details on his website: https://crossborderrail.eu/longestjourney/ — and of course we will be following and cheering him on here as well.

Good luck Jon!

@yoginho And, of course, I'll watch what the rest of the AI-unhappy world will be doing. Maybe we will see new distros, or better hardware support for systems like NetBSD, because of growing developer investment.

Context is important.

Like when you need to report a post, with the ability to add an optional message to help admins/mods.

Or when you report a post you've already reported.

An Iceberg Flips

Footage of a massive iceberg flipping in Greenland has gone viral. The feat took place off the coast of Ilulissat and was caught on a nearby livestream camera. Icebergs shift like this because they melt unevenly, with submerged areas melting faster. As the underwater shape of the iceberg changes, the buoyant forces shift relative to the iceberg’s center of mass, and it flips, eventually settling into a (temporarily) stable orientation. This situation is simpler in the lab version, though; as the video here shows, real icebergs can also rapidly lose mass if they start breaking apart. That, too, can necessitate a flip.

Best variant of this meme #Dolly

@kirschner a few years ago, spotify bricked the 'car thing', a car-mounted hardware device that connected to the phone app and allowed users to control it with a dial or voice.

i doubt it was widely used, but it was able to be re-purposed by the open-source community at least keeping some of them out of landfills.

Was könnt ihr mir schenken, fragt ihr euch?

Natürlich eine Empfehlung an eine Freund*in, die vielleicht auch ein wenig mehr echte, menschliche #Mathematik in ihrem Leben braucht.

@Tutanota It's a pleasure, and thank you for keeping the services updated!

Nowe oświadczenie włamywaczy stojących za atakiem na MyDr. Zapowiadają “coś większego” i rzekomo mamy się o tym dowiedzieć. Boss, I’m tired, ale jak trzeba to trzeba.

@sundogplanets You’re doing a lot and more than could be asked from any human being. Can we stop the near earth space from clogging? I don’t know, but it won’t be on your head.

Thanks for all you do

@mastodonmigration OsmAnd and CoMaps are great because you get all the updates from #OpenStreetMap contributors like me!

@yoginho This is a long-term worry, not an emergency. So: take time to explore, time to think.

The only Linux distro whose development process I know is Guix. No AI policy yet due the lengthy and imperfect consensus-finding rules. While the discussions continue, I will see if I could move to 100% Guix (which as of today I do *not* recommend).

I'll also look at NetBSD and smolBSD, at least for my self-hosted cloud server. And see how the BSD family evolves driver-wise.

This is a test post to Micro.blog from my new macOS Micropub editor, OutPost. It should also federate out to Mastodon.

It's fascinating just how strong the correlation between fascism and technical incompetence is:
