(Not my photo, got it from a random meme post on YouTube.)

Pretty sure a lot of Fedi users are going to understand this reference.

Ich war irgendwann um die Jahrtausendwende mal in der Sagrada Família, als der Innenraum noch düster und undekoriert war, der Boden blanker Beton und alles voller Gerüste (etwa so wie auf dem Foto hier).

Und jetzt hab ich gestern mal den Anfang von diesem Video hier …

… gesehen, und muss sagen, das hat mich schon berührt. Wow. Die Lichter, die Farben, die Formen … ich glaube, ich muss da nochmal hin. Beeindruckend.

Awww, wie niedlich, die Kabel winken uns!

Two thoughts about this method:

1. They assume a constant base frequency that only shifts because of the Doppler effect, but I'd argue you can get more precise results if you consider frequency changes due to flight maneuvers, changing speed etc., too.

2. You could combine this method with ENF analysis to narrow down the date and/or time.

Holy shit.

This guy takes a couple of minutes of audio from a security camera anywhere in the US, with no clues from the video whatsoever, and finds the exact spot where it was recorded.

How?

By correlating the Doppler curve sounds from two almost inaudible planes passing by with public ADS-B flight data.

I think this is the #OSINT video of the year.

I think the main disadvantage of having been socialized by Star Trek is that I still assume everyone is an intelligent being and listens to reason.

Wo sind die Single Points of Failure in eurem Heimnetzwerk? Habt ihr überhaupt irgendwas redundant?

Wenn ihr eine umfangreiche Fotosammlung habt, und zwar als Dateien in einem Ordnerbaum auf eurem Rechner, dann (und nur dann!) interessiert mich eure Antwort auf:

Wie sieht eure Ordnerstruktur aus?

Weil `YYYY/MM/DD Anlass` funktioniert für so Dinge wie "mehrere Tage dauernde Events" oder "random Schnappschüsse die man halt so macht, Notizfotos etc." nicht so wirklich.

Wenn ihr irgendwelche fancy Apps benutzt, die nicht einfach Dateien in Ordner platziert, interessiert mich eure Antwort nicht.

Sigh. Let me pin this, because it keeps coming up:

If you send me an unsolicited "AI"-generated reply, you'll almost certainly be blocked.

Believe it or not: You're not the only one who's able to use these tools. If I _wanted_ to use the fascist plagiarism machine, I could.

Please don't do it "for" me. In contrast to what you might tell yourself, this is _not_ "helpful", not "a favor". It's just noise.

I've counted the number of helpful "AI" responses I've had on the Fedi. It's exactly zero.

I can't be the only one thinking "this smells vibe-coded", right?

#Debian now officially accepting LLM contributions, and even having its own LLM infrastructure, is so depressing. I feel deceived, and it's making me sad.

This is _the_ distribution that was always the "opinionated" one when it came to free software. They were the hardliners.

And I liked that!

The utopian vision behind the free software community was always the most exciting part for me.

LLMs are the antithesis to that, and having them infect Debian is just repulsive.

Fun fact: The #German word for hangover is "Kater". But "Kater" has a second meaning: tomcat, i.e. a male cat.

What does a hangover have to do with a cat?

Nothing.

It's kind of a malapropism for "Katarrh" (engl. "catarrh"), a similar-sounding word that was once used for all kinds of inflammations, from before medical science was a thing.

For the same reason German speakers use "Muskelkater" ("muscle tomcat") when they mean muscle soreness, especially DOMS.

Puh, jetzt Bundeswehr-Werbung bei #BeReal. Schwierig.

Idee: Politiker*innen als Schokoladenfiguren

irgendwas mit "eierleckende Vollmilchsau"
