   What are we up to for today? What makes nerds get up early? Some journey ahead ...

     Waiting for the train ... we have all we need for "holidays" 😉

     A new piece of baggage has joined us. Makes for happy sysadmins - which you can see in the image when you look close enough.

     Train staff didn't accept us presenting our digital ticket on ebook reader 🙄 - they are not allowed to scan arbitrary QR codes without "verifying where they are coming from".

     Luckily enough, #PassAndroid was fine for them, because "some app" is apparently okay..

     @Codeberg Never underestimate the data transfer speed of a server filled with hard drives on a train

     @SM0RVV It's actually empty, but we might offer pickup service for large free software projects :)

     @RedTechEngineer
     It was mostly considered an experiment for us, but it worked better than expected. We'll probably improve protection of the machine, though, just in case. ~f

     @Codeberg Strap a display and keyboard to that, and you have the perfect laptop. Well, except maybe for gaming, I doubt the GPU in that one is anything fancy 😜

     Next time, hand-draw it, take a picture of it, then show it on your smartphone!

     @eliasp Actually, the same staff member checked our tickets about an hour later on the way back (without recognizing us), and asked me to "scroll" in the app to show it's actually "an app" and not just a screenshot.

     @Codeberg SNCB Europe, when you buy a ticket, will give it to you in one of two forms:

     • A ticket on the phone, in their app.
     • A paper ticket, delivered in PDF form.

     YOU MUST PRINT THE PDF ONE ON ACTUAL PAPER OR IT IS NOT VALID. YOU CANNOT SHOW IT ON A SCREEN. VERBODEN. INTERDIT. FORBIDDEN. IT WILL BE REJECTED. NEVER. NIMMER. NYET. NO. NON. NEE.

     Both have the exact same 2D barcode on them.

     Digital signatures have been a thing for decades now.

     Why?

     (Edit: Wait... I'm talking to the Codeberg social media account? Huh.)

     @Codeberg when transporting your servers like that, do anticipate for dirt, and worse, rain. Two Ikea blue bags fit great for most servers ;) [one over the top, one over the bottom upwards due to dirt/mud coming from the floor).

     At arrival, do acclimatize the server and ensure to reseat many cards; which is why a outer carton box is advised. Good luck with the new toy! -- fellow server-by-public-transport person ;)

     For those still wondering about why they were "not allowed" to scan the other QR code: I suspect this is related to potential abuse vectors via QR codes (yes, we know, requiring the hacker to spoof it via a fake app instead of an ebook is not the answer).

     Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIcbAMO6sxo or read https://www.revk.uk/2020/01/eicar-test-qr.html for some background.
