True that…
Happens too fucking often as well

I’m currently hunting a bug that happens like every 1000 iteration of the thing happening.
Like, I’m telling the hardware to do something and it works pretty much all the time, but over the day, the errors add up
I have no clue why it happens, but can’t really turn up the debug logs that much, because with so many things happening, I’d produce like a shitload of data.
But I can’t really narrow it down otherwise

And it seems we’re in the same kind of shit business ;⁠-⁠)
Real time processes and automation, with customers having problems at night shift, because the maintenance guys during that shift are usually not as good - or it’s just bad luck

At one of my last business trips I was already at the airport on my happily way home, when I’ve got call.
Needed to get my luggage back, new rental car and get a place at the hotel.
Just to discover, that after 15 years the hardware acted up in a way it never did before.
At least I could now include a warning message, if this weird situation ever happens again, but that was a tough one to swallow…

Best things are, when you throw in some debug output and that changes the timings just as much to not make the bug happen anymore

I’ve lost more hair to that, than my age…

We seemingly have a different opinion, what we regard as ‘fun’ ;⁠-⁠)

Stuff that can’t be reproduced and “only” comes up because of some timing issue/race condition is often the most shit to hunt for

I’m currently in such an adventure - and I thought I had it…but the statistics show, that it only got better, but didn’t catch all of the occurrences…

Well, ok, maybe I got it wrong

Am…I don’t have to?
also no other Linux user has to do either

Just because one systemd dev prepared something to be optionally used for a stupid law, doesn’t mean anyone using Linux is forced to do that
Seems you don’t know how anything on Linux, and it’s ecosystem, works, if you believe that

And the relation to that news is also a mystery to me

Yeah, I’m with you

Experiencing even the internet in its early years was like discovering a new world, that was the wild west

It was just glamorous….

I really miss it.

And now politicians without having any clue cut it down.
I just don’t want to stand by and watch - but I also don’t know what to do …

That sounds fun, I’m kinda jealous :⁠-⁠)

Anyway, I’ve loved my first computer and I think, it wouldn’t have mattered much, what it was
It was my computer and I could do everything with it, my mind was able to produce - and fit the hardware

That’s what I felt at that time at least

I’m always with those poor people needing to eat dirt, when the people thinking being in power can bring death to them

But there is currently just not much else I can do…

It’s really sad, that the Iranian regime is a fundamentalist pile of shit as well

So now, I’m just getting popcorn, while I still can afford it, and watch 2 sides battling a senseless war, which I don’t want any side to win

Cool, thanks :⁠-⁠D

Not exactly on topic, because I only jealously have looked at the Amiga of my older cousin and my first own computer was a x86 (133MHz Pentium - was a fucking monster with a Voodoo 2 graphics accelerator)

But I’m seeing more and more news about Amiga in the last years.
Am I just in a news bubble or is there really some kind of a comeback - more than just as a nostalgic hobbyist project?

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all are abrahemitic religions and share the same roots, so pretty much, yes

Although I’m not that versed with the story of Mohammed

Edit: basically Islam and Christianity developed out of Judaism, but they differ in who they see as the promised Messiah

I know what you mean…

It’s only palm fat, sugar or corn syrup anyway in different forms

Don’t listen to them, OP!
we all know electrical work gets one as dirty as an oil change! ;⁠-⁠)

Nope, just not used

I feel very honoured, that you value my emotional and probably drunken outburst ;⁠-⁠)

Anyway, we need to act.

There is a saying (at least in German), that a wheel, that doesn’t screech, isn’t getting oiled.
And if don’t act up, it will seem like no resistance and all is good.
We need to scream with all the tools we have.

Ah, damnit
Just looked up the video and wanted to post it…

Well, have an upvote

I once was walking in the side of a country road with a backpack, because I wanted to walk though Europe in my early youth

In some regions people were shouting and throwing stuff shut me, while driving by, just because I was walking besides the road

I wasn’t in the way of anyone and it wasn’t even a big street.

Some people just seem to have personal problems…

How should that work?
My GrapheneOS Android doesn’t look any different than any other Android - and they’d need to look at my screen while walking by or something.

They can’t even see the exact Android version without trying to access it - or having me show them explicitly my “About phone” screen or something

I really don’t see how that should work in practice

If they pick me out and want to scan my phone, then it could be used against me, that they can’t access my data.
But hey, that’s what GrapheneOS is here for, to don’t allow anyone access to my data, who shouldn’t have access

So, in practice this is not really relevant or do I misunderstand something?
