Sadly I wasn't able to watch it lift off. I enjoy watching the Airbus models, esp. the Airbus Beluga XL over Hamburg, Germany.

I remember an interesting evening in IRC, 25 years back. We had our local channel and a new nickname joined. Nearly everybody knew it was a new bot one of us had scripted. One that was able to randomize through a set of fitting answers. Not

I need to remember the "sorry for the 'off-by-one' error" when I flip the bird in the future. It could even become a hilarious t-shirt. Maybe I should look for relevant vector graphics and start designing.

Reading the relevant court decision actually showed enough technical understanding by the judge to make a balanced decision. The reasoning was that as it is so very easy to self host Google fonts and with caching as an argument gone there i

Thanks for sharing the page. I was wondering what hop was and if it could potentially be a solution for a current problem I am facing. Now at least I know a bit more.

The basic question is, how far is one willing to tolerate intolerance? This is a philosophical as well as an ideological question imho without right/wrong answers. It is an essential question, meaning people won't budge over it bu

I still like the quote, if we take the author out of the picture. The meaning behind the words and the meaning nowadays ascribed to it is absolutely positive imho.

Nice to see this quite wrongly understood quote from Rosa Luxemburg here. Her quote was a hand written notation in the margins of a text and scholars, given the context, come to the conclusion that these words were sarcastically used by her

While I despise Nazis, KKK and the likes from the core of my heart. And while I find the limits on free speech in German law reasonable and well proportioned given our history (for example you are not allowed to deny the holocaust having ha

Or you use mobile Firefox with block g extensions and never even see the cookie banner or the notification banners. Reading works fine. But I agree. In normal circumstances things like that should not happen.

I understood adnauseam as clicking ads, not fuzzing web analytics data on the site I am currently on. Should read their site in more detail probably.

I remember there was something similar once for web analytics. The extension would obfuscate stuff by changing values, esp. e-commerce values like price and quantity so that the data becomes quite tainted. Just can't remember what it w

This isn't a counter point to organic agriculture but against idiotic policies. Everybody who has even a passing knowledge of the subject knows that yields drop in the first few years. Especially when the necessary knowledge about loca

I agree. Tonight I went outside into the greenhouses, took a knife and cut a few leaves of different salad varieties. Went back to the kitchen to let them water a bit in the sink to remove a bit of dirt, dust and a few insects. Took three m

Doesn't that strike you as silly given the externalities (like CO2) being way higher for the plane ride than for the train ride? I still can't get my head around the fact that we as a society allow air travel to dump that much env

Thanks for sharing. It gives more depth to the images and tells the story behind those images better imho than just the Twitter feed. I did fantasy LARP in my late teens till my early thirties. And when organizing cons we would often have a

This piece isn't even shallow or thin. It is beyond that. Outside of categories like that. It is empty calories. It might taste like knowledge or wisdom, but is just sludge plus aroma. I even think it can't be saved nor edited. Th
