We followed each other and wrote before on Twitted. It‘s a tragedy. I‘ll be in Pforzheim again next year for the annual memorial ride. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WX7LVxzZem8

I reported several spammers impersonating with posts like „click here to verify your account“ phishing links and they disappeared in less than 2 minutes. There is little arguing about malicious content, it‘s about political and „tone“ relat

Just to clarify, my account was banned without a reasons mentioned. The „reason“/cause field is empty. I didn’t insult anyone, I didn’t break any laws, I didn’t call to unalive people. I didn’t violate TOS. I just dared to criticize th

People want to get entertained and informed. Very few original content is available and sharing of content from other platforms will lead to harsh reactions from self-claimed activists. I got insulted from completely random people who don’t

That would be great but wasn’t the case. I‘m a „green“ guy and cycling advocate but we failed to get traction on the Fediverse.

You can't move a banned account, you lose all followers.

Only if you lose (not win) :) (irrelevant side node: poker is treated as skill based game in Germany, hence you have to pay taxes on wins)

at least a single word would have been nice. I've not insulted anyone.

mastodon.social is operated by the Mastodon gGmbH, the core body behind the project.

You can claim the opposite of the fediverse. The fediverse became an ultra left-wing (in terms of anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism, not human rights). If you write one positive thing about AI/LLM based coding and you will be tarred

My mastodon account on mastodon.social (the official instance of Mastodon gGmbH) was deleted without a reason after I criticized the former GDR. Not going to donate another €100 this year.

Exactly, this is junior mistake I made too many times. There is a wisdom: Never tell anyone, when you’ve won the lottery. In technical terms you need to plan ahead. The legacy mistakes are caused by actions in the past and will likely be ma

this. Railway signalling is a complex topic and totally different in Europa vs. the US. ETCS is another big step forward in terms of automation, but we don't see driverless trains. In Germany we have Linienzugbeeinflussung (LZB) since

What happens if signalling or mechanical failures occur and manual intervention is required? I will collapse the network, that’s why you see conductor-less operation only in separated environments, like subways (Nürnberg) or DLR (London)

I‘m a big fan of owning the stack but why not spend the money on redundancy? At least a couple of machines in a different data center at Hetzner or another provider (OVH, Scaleway, Vultr, …) can easily fit your budget.

True. Make a unique design, not a mashup of 25 JS frameworks and a corporate-sponsored programming language.

Stickers are like statues of people, or streets named after people. They don't age well. Nothing and nobody is absolutely right, all the time or in hindsight.

We’ve seen a massive consolidation in hosting, domain, collocation and even B2B access providers in Germany. Some were sold to US companies, others are purchased and now owned by private equity companies. They are now centralized and based

But think of the Apple approach. And while all cloud providers started with mainstream hardware, they evolved to proprietary systems. The current AI phase may just be the „good old days“ with access just limited by financial power paving t

While I partially understand (but not support) the hate against AI due to possible plagiarism and "low effort generation" of works, think about the whole process: If model providers will be liable for generating output, that resem

The dilemma of leaders way behind is to find the right attack vector. Of course, you won't be able to become competitive by just "put more effort" into the existing stuff and hence everyone is eager to hope for a "Wunder

Side note: While the example uses GPT-5, the query interface is already some kind of industry standard. For example you could easily connect OpenRouter.ai and switch models and providers during runtime as needed. OpenRouter also has free mo

The key is to calculate right and go for the mainstream hardware. If you are a hosting company with diversified use cases, you have plenty of room to downcycle hardware until it breaks. If you are operating under limited space in a field w

I don't want to be picky, but there is still a lot of value left in "not modern" tasks, like video encoding/transcoding. If somewhere the trickle-down effect is real, then it is computing hardware. Take Hetzner's se
