And here I had forgotten that any app first published on Google's Play Store after August 2021 cannot (by design) be trusted to be running the code that the developers intended.

Amazed that this just happened.

While reviewing old HDDs with Linux VirtualBox VMs, I naturally opened Windows' PowerShell and used "scp" to retrieve data off the VMs for later analysis.

Yes, scp and ssh in Windows work just as they should O.ô.

✉️ Und hier dachte ich mir, mein Briefwahlantrag wäre verloren gegangen oder sonstiges.

Dass WählerInnen im Ausland nicht vom Amts wegen im Wählerverzeichnis eingetragen werden, und dass es gar kein Feedback gibt außer "(keine) Briefwahlunterlagen bekommen", fühlt sich super komisch an.

"L'accés a la xarxa és lliure de discriminació (Model Open-Access). Gràcies a la infraestructura pròpia, la ciutat de Zürich pot influenciar el preu, la qualitat, la velocitat de desplegament de la xarxa i garantir l'accés al servei. La ewz (empresa de la ciutat de Zürich) mateixa no ofereix serveis de fibra òptica directament als clients finals."

It's that time again when I see the trends in Open Source software going proprietary in workflow and, de facto, centralising power in Microsoft, Amazon and Google.

First time #freebsd 's #pkgbase has bit me in the ass:
pkg autoremove decided that FreeBSD-openssl was to be removed, and suddenly zfs(8) pkg(8) and pretty much anything stopped working.

Luckily from when I patched base's pkg, I knew to run:
pkg-static add https://alpha.pkgbase.live/current/FreeBSD:14:amd64/14.snap20210709060648/FreeBSD-openssl-14.snap20210709060648.tzst

Everything is back to normal, but something went seriously wrong there, and I wouldn't know how to reproduce it '-.-.

I wonder if I'm in the wrong when I look at a CV of a "Full Stack Engineer" and basically discard it because it is obvious they didn't put any effort in making it look decent. Care: not original! just decent, any decent-looking template would do.

Then I try to correct for a potential bias, look at it deeper and think "nope, this is all just buzzwords".

Maybe I just dislike most people "in tech".

Accidentally upgraded a bunch of machines to #freebsd 13.0-RELEASE-p2 without being aware that p2 was out X-D.

Dolibarr running on #freebsd 🎉 (with #cdist based provisioning, because if you do it once, you do it twice).

I'm actually a tad surprised at how well Dolibarr
works in general.

Had a couple issues with how it expects the SMTP credentials to be able to send email from anyone, which is a tad absurd, but I managed to add a couple hacks to fix that.

*sigh* now #eurobsdcon is going to be entirely online; which means now I'd actually consider sending a CFP. The bad thing is that the deadline is next week. Now guess who doesn't have time these days?
Oh well, we'll see.

Having the #freebsd ports tree in git is useful.
Toyed around a bit with builds.sr.ht and managed to get something going (patch submissions pending):

Today I re-read an issue report I wrote. And I am again surprised at how bad certbot is. There was a reason why I keep it off my systems as much as I can.

I trolled a bit a friend into installing #openbsd.
It worked well for them apparently :-D.

(Trolled them because I wasn't *actually sure* it'd work xD I just imagined it would, and stated things vaguely enough that it could be interpreted as an assurance).

Just realised that #freebsd 13's base has a tiny bit of code written by these fingers :-D.

Engineering section of popular streaming company asked on the blue site:
"What language did you write you first line of code in?"

Mine was Logo Writer, it was lovely and I appreciate having had access to it as a kid.

Turns out, I wrote about what that was like… Quite a bit ago (time flies…)
