On today's work: UI testing by switching language to German, and seeing how bad texts overflow.
I somehow ended up programming some Pascal today, it had been... several years XD.
Tourismus News Rant
Hab grad bei der Tagesschau von gestern (2024-04-02) über die arme Touristen die über Ostern in Katalonien waren, und kein Wasser hatten gehört '^^
<sarcasm>
Oh ja, die arme private Pools in Hotels können nicht gefüllt werden, schock!
</sarcasm>
Ugh... wieder soweit: https://bundeswahlleiterin.de/europawahlen/2024/informationen-waehler/deutsche-im-ausland.html
Deutsche im Ausland müssen sich für die Europawahl 2024 anmelden. Frist ist 19. Mai 2024, und zwar:
> Der Antrag muss persönlich und handschriftlich von der Antragstellerin beziehungsweise dem Antragsteller unterzeichnet sein und der Gemeinde im Original übermittelt werden. Eine Einreichung per E-Mail oder Fax ist nicht ausreichend.
Alles sehr 2024-mäßig :-)
Achievement unlocked: found and fixed a leap year bug
I have been figuring out that the best things to do with my time are those whose impact compounds.
With this rationale, I am fishing for someone that has interest in contributing to #twisted #python and needs some support / supply of patches.
If that's you or someone you know, do reach out.
Turns out, actually landing patches requires love and dedication, the former I have, the latter I sometimes lack (work and life happen >,<).
I wrote a #yubikey/PGP/SSH thing and forgot to talk about it:
https://evilham.com/en/blog/2023-yubikey-PGP-SSH-auth/
It goes into details of managing PGP keys on a YubiKey, and how we can use that to SSH into machines with a single physical token.
This is not something I've seen fully documented anywhere, and some details are #freebsd-specific; if you try following them and need help getting things to work on #debian-based systems: do reach out. It can possibly take me less to reply than for you to find the answer :-)
I realised today has been of those days, in which I've used all languages I'm proficient in, but I struggle to remember which language was used with whom.
Some can be deduced (person X expresses themselves better in language L), but the memory of the conversations is basically translated into some babel that could fit whichever language.
If my Basque/#Euskara is ever good enough, things will get funkier.
I made some minor changes to my website (and a not so minor one: light theme!) and remembered that you can play #tetris there by typing out the Konami code ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konami_Code )
Try it out and enjoy the music! Open https://evilham.com and type: ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA
Ejemplo de gran inversión de dinero público: https://primeran.eus (#Primeran significa: "de primera" / "estupendo" / "muy bien")
Una plataforma audiovisual con contenidos en #euskara o de origen vasco (y subtítulos o doblaje en ESP / EUS).
La verdad es que parece que deja un poco en ridículo a RTVE Play y, especialmente, a TV3 a la carta.

Dolibarr is such a patchwork program.
Why on Earth would anyone create an API to POST something, but not to GET it.
Just why.
Besides: half of the things are named in French, the other half in English, it's all extremely confusing, I'd just rather the whole thing be in French instead, and it's not a language I'm proficient in.
At this point, I'm between:
- Writing a bunch of PHP
- Start a migration plan *away* from Dolibarr and talk people out of using it whenever they mention it
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)
