Someone should implement `-3` from `scp` into `rsync`.

That's literally the one flag I use `scp` for and I always get annoyed at `scp` doing "the wrong thing".

Mi estas surprizita! Lerni #esperanto estas amuza :-p
Ĝi estas logika, fremda sed facila kaj familiara X-D
Germano estas tre utila!

Avui he estat escoltant #esperanto a https://kern.punkto.info/ pensava "Quan ella parla em sona a polonès. Bé, no, eslovac. Quan ell parla em sona més alemany".

Sorpresa, sorpresa: ella és eslovaca i ell alemany xD

So, I'm fairly proficient at Python, but learned it back in 2.2/2.3 or so and kept up until about 3.5. Lately I have the feeling that 3.7 and particularly 3.8 are game-changers.
Are there any resources to re-learn modern #python, but assuming that one already knows it?
Just don't feel like going through all the changelogs and PEPs >,<.

I'm unsure if the #freebsd cluster managers lurk around here, but they should be aware of https://we.phorge.it after Phacility announced they discontinued Phabricator development.
It's looking like a nice bunch of humans to give some continuity to the project :-).

Yeeeees, the #freebsd vim ports finally make sense!

Timing might be off but… I'm a tad surprised at just how little I notice Facebook, Google, Amazon or Microsoft having outages.
I basically get told the outages happened.

I am the tech support I'd like to have.

Literally, re-reading an email I sent to a potential client who had issues makes me smile; I hope they appreciate it.

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".
