I have a question for people who use #tailscale for their home network. From what I understand, identities are bound to the IdP I chose and that IdP can not be changed without creating a new network.
So my question. Are you all running your own IdPs or do you use gmail or github and live with the fact that you will have to reconfigure a whole bunch of things if you ever switch providers?

Unless you live under a stone, everybody will have heard about PHP today.

Now, please realize that the vast majority of Open Source Software, like PHP, and including PHP, is largely maintained by **unpaid volunteers**.

If you agree that this is inconceivably irresponsible: let this be your call to action and FUND THE OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS YOUR ORGANIZATION RELIES ON.

Saying "Thanks" once in a while is not enough and does not make open source sustainable.

I was reading @bagder's recent blog post and down there in the comments was a little monster avatar. This happens relatively frequently without me really thinking about it.

But today it hit me how freaking weird it is.

This quirky little thing is something I built on a weekend nearly 20 years ago!

And today I am stumbling upon it just randomly on other people's websites.

Ich hatte gerade einen Anruf von #Vodafone.

 Es ginge um meinen Kabelanschluss. Es würden ja jetzt die Kabelgebühren aus den Nebenkosten entfernt.
Ich so: Häh? Was für Nebenkosten? Das ist mein Haus? Ich bin weder Mieter noch Vermieter.
Sie: Ja aber das sei ja kostenlos für den Kunden und die Kabelgebühren würden jetzt ja wegfallen.
Ich wieder so: häh? Was fällt weg?
Sie so: die Kabelgebühren.
Ich so: nochmal - was genau wollen Sie das ich jetzt mache?
Sie so: *aufleg*


Ey warum ruft ihr mich an wenn ihr nicht wisst was ihr von mir wollt? Schreibt mir ne E-Mail und spart euch die unterbezahlte und schlecht geschulte Call-Center-Person.

A new type of online person is emerging that is absolutely convinced all environmental problems are being caused by AI.

Hate to break it to you babes but your cars, your meat eating, your plastic goods, your overseas holidays, your suburban lawns and your voting habits did 99.9% of the environmental damage long, long before AI started placing its own shit on the breakdown buffet.

But it’s good to pretend that you can unplug those server racks and things will be okay again, isn’t it?

#Degrowth

This morning I went one last time to the camp ground loo and my wife started the car to roll down the windows. @tarly got very agitated, because he thought they'd leave me behind.
Then later today, we visited an open air museum. We took turns going into the houses because they weren't suitable for dogs. I left one through a different exit which brought me back to this view.
We really don't deserve #dogs 😭
