Just realised yesterday I've been running #freebsd 14 alpha, I guess the time is coming to decide again whether or not I'll keep running CURRENT as a daily driver :-D (it is mostly *that* stable)
I remembered I hadn't done anything with the Twitter account, recent rumours regarding training AI models with user content reminded me I probably should.
Here are some funny / interesting things I found dealing with the archive:
🙀 ya no sé escribir español.
"[…] pensaba mucho en tú […]"
Suuuure 
C# bashing
Seriously, how on earth is there no decent DNS library already in the system?
Do I seriously have to re-implement DNS or get some third-party library to perform a simple DNS query that goes beyond getting an IP?

I see many people who have the right to vote this weekend will not exercise their right.
These people, being from my "progressive" bubble, would have likely voted non-retrograde, non-regressive parties. Also the people that say voting serves no purpose...
OTOH the phenomenon seen in e.g. Germany is that the far right does go to vote, en masse.
I guess, depending on who wins these elections, I might start being on the lookout for a new place of residence.
Woow, today I came across a potential client, whose company:
- returns 403 from the European Union
- bounces emails "based on Geographic Restrictions", from the European Union
This... Will be easy I guess.
#openbsd installer question: making a new install, I mistyped the IPv4 address and needed to edit it because the default gateway fell outside of the mistyped range.
So, is there a simple way to go back and edit a previous answer?
(ofc, the installer being as simple and fast as it is, I exited the install and started over, would like to know anyway :-D)
Im #chaosradio gehört: "wir brauchen mehr EU Nerds" :blob_rainbowheart:
Oh, eff. I have no idea how this is to be fixed, but U2F seems to have broken on Firefox 114 (and Chrome and so on) on #freebsd
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1737205
Apparently we were relying on a deprecated API?
Do #openbsd folks have this figured out?
#selfhosted email and Microsoft madness strikes back, my documented strategy worked again, this time it only took like 3 hours:

Experienced sysadmin tip:
Use these on your workstation machines:
alias brb=reboot
alias bye=poweroff
Getting used to these, will make reading this message a non-issue:
# bye
sh: bye: not found
(Also, do not work when tired)
Wasted 10 minutes to "Untyped function decorator obscures type of function", only to realise I was reading a PEP for #python 3.12 >,<...
https://peps.python.org/pep-0702/
Jeebus, do I really need a third party library to mark something as deprecated?
Luckily #twisted has me covered (wanted to use stdlib mostly, but hey): https://docs.twistedmatrix.com/en/stable/api/twisted.python.deprecate.html
Eleccions municipals
Porto una indignació important avui amb les eleccions municipals.
M'hi vaig preocupar amb temps, tinc un document del INE amb data Novembre de 2022, que diu que estic al cens electoral, també vaig rebre una carta de l'ajuntament de #barcelona fa mesos recordant-me que puc votar.
I ara que vull tramitar el vot per correu, es veu que no hi consto?
*sigh* a potential client was annoyed because our EU-VAT check is refusing their UK VAT number.
And I actually had to write "Since the UK left the EU, those VAT numbers are not recognised as valid, but we will gladly process the purchase manually".
Brexit things for years to come I guess.
Soooo, is it safe to use #freebsd CURRENT with ZFS again? :-D
(it looks like it, don't want to add to the Mailing list noise asking)
Would appreciate a binary yes/no if someone knows for sure ^^
Today I remembered an anime I used to watch as a kid: "You are under arrest".
In my memory it was chiefly about two police women, while checking the pictures I remembered: one of the police was a trans woman!

Manchmal zweifle ich im Ernst, ob manche Menschen es mögen sich selbst zu sabotieren. Oder ob einfach, wie in einen meiner ersten Toots erwähnt: die Schule uns enttäuscht hat, und Lesen und Verstehen doch keine Grundfähigkeiten mehr sind.
Hej hej, meine jetzige Internetsuche: "Schwedisch für Deutsche"
Bin ja erstaunt wie viel ich verstehe (schriftlich u. gesprochen) und gleichzeitig wie fremd es mir ist :-D.
Evtl wirkt gegen mein Verständniss der Fakt, dass Schwedisch so ähnlich klingt, wie die Kunstsprache von #magicka >,<
WTH is wrong with #debian these days?
This must be the 5th time this year that a clean server install ends up having x11-common installed for no good reason.
Even the installation of the "server" flavour comes with some desktop environments pre-selected (hey, it's a server image?).
Oh well, TL;DR: nowadays these are a must on Debian:
APT::Install-Recommends "0";
APT::Install-Suggests "0";
