"…Berlin has in point of organization become the model city of Europe. In no other has public money been expended with such enlightened discretion, and in no other has the municipal system kept pace with such rapid growth…"
from Encyclopedia Britannica 1911

I don't think anyone has said this about #Berlin since then 😄
If you're looking for new blogs to subscribe to, you could visit
https://search.indieblog.page/ and search for a few things that you care about and see if there are blogs that match up.
It currently stores 7343 domains and 338056 pages.
I run the search engine and @splitbrain curates the OPML file listing all the blogs.
I, of course, have no time for this. I'm not even reading the blogs I am already subscribed to! 😨 And when I checked whether it was actually working, I only searched for my name. 😭 Oh hubris.
My brain is struggling with receiving yet another question **via email** about an open source project I maintain.
Have these people never heard of GitHub ?
Seriously people, don't EVER email an OSS maintainer without their prior permission unless you are willing to pay for their time and pay double rate.
My thoughts on "LLM Wikis"

question: is wifi energy harvesting a viable thing by now?
I have a whole bunch of those little Bluetooth temperature/humidity sensors. they last about a year on a cr2032 coin cell but it's still annoying to have to change them.
Could wifi provide the required power?

it's always odd to get email from a user of some random dokuwiki somewhere in the world asking me about something specific in that wiki. often I don't even get a hint which wiki they're referring to.
I always wonder how they manage to find their way to my email address somewhere buried in a dokuwiki page in that wiki, but then totally fail to read the surrounding text and the info that I should not be contacted for personal support.
Everything is great

is there a selfhosted password manager service that works offline? eg. I can save or edit passwords in the client (app/browser extension) and it will be synced once the password manager service is reachable again?
I had assumed bitwarden/vaultwarden would work like that, but it doesn't.
I don't want the system to be hosted online, only in my local Lan.
update, because this is still being boosted: please read my post on this at https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2025-08/17-password_manager_woes

Seeing another one of those lists going around that documents people who have been “technologically impure”. I don’t care who you are or where you sit on the political spectrum - any rat bastard who indulges in that is getting blocked on sight. That kind of petty shit is why we can never have nice things on the left.
Anyway, if you think the web should have a way to get the *full* photo a user uploaded - including geolocation metadata - please leave a 👍 reaction on this request → https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11724#issuecomment-4192228562
start of the work week and I already had enough. goddammit. if you don't do everything yourself...
Putting an ask out for a friend. She's hoping someone might have some of these Mars Lumograph 100 EE pencils tucked away somewhere that they don't want. They're unavailable now and there's nothing quite like them out there. If you have any let me know and I'll put you in contact.
Please boost! 
Alter, was is mit mir los? Es ist 17:30 und ich hab mir grad n Kaffee gemacht? Das muss doch diese scheiß Zeitumstellung sein oder was?
nearly made me my fourth coffee today before I caught myself 😳
be kind. rewind.
@simon have you ever written about claude's built-in sandbox?
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sandboxing
I'd be very interested in your opinion on it vs an external sandbox like bubblewrap or the apple equivalent
couldn't sleep, but at least I could solve my first game flawlessly

I usually have a pretty good sense of direction. The woods near where my wife's family lives completely fuck it over every time.
I have learned to just give up and follow my dog @tarly
So, in the #PHP ecosystem, people can build a package like roave/security-advisories, which has a huge list of "conflict" dependencies.
These don't say "install this as a dependency", but instead "I'm incompatible with that dependency in that version". And the versions listed there are those with known security vulnerabilities, effectively preventing you from installing them, which is good.
Is there something similar in the #Python ecosystem? Is it even possible?
