Ahir vaig recordar aquesta carta de Rilke i torna a semblar força rellevant.

Oh, hello compiling LLVM; I did not miss you.

Ich stehe so nah 🤏🏾 vor 'ner Email-Pleite.

Great, the legacy G Suite is being #killedbygoogle
and force-upgraded to "Google Workspace".
Any migration other than the force-upgrade is quite unclear, so I guess it'll be a great time to get some people off Google entirely.

A thing landed on my inbox that just won the bullshit bingo.

I just cancelled my #eff membership and will not be spending to them, can also not recommend anyone to do that.

The reason?

This: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/dream-job-alert-senior-fellow-decentralization-eff
It looks like they are looking to push forward "Web3" and cryptocurrencies. Both bullshit, speculative technologies that create more real problems than they solve.

If you are an #eff member, maybe consider sending them an email cancelling your membership demanding them to change course.

Just remembered why I don't contribute to certain Open Source projects: "Developer Certificate of Origin"
I prefer my internet pseudonymous, thank you.

I feel cute whenever I get an email from a US company trying to be cool and showing they have a personal touch, so they call me "Andrés".

I just discovered that vscode runs perfectly fine on #freebsd and am impressed at how decent of an IDE it is for python ô.o.

Aviat m'animaré a jugar amb #dn42 per aprendre cosetes "d'internet profund", i potser per la eXO.
Si algú para per aquí amb ganes de tocar BGP (segurament a #bsd, però també potser amb Linux), aquí hi ha més explicat el que tinc ganes de fer:

Pretty good article on #openbsd! I was just eying it yesterday for a #dn42 host to toy with BGP and RPKI :-D. It has everything I need in the base system! https://blog.apnic.net/2021/11/05/openbsd-part-2-why-use-openbsd/

Frigging webdevs.
Password input field with a maxlength of 20 (undocumented for the user) and: "onpaste='return preventDefault();'".

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.
