I’m looking for a kitchen scale that I can also use to weigh packages with - ideally up to 10Kg with reasonable precision. If that does not exist I'm ok with with up to 5Kg range.

Any recommendations. Preferred options are the ones that are built to last and have digital readout if they have a decent precision. Otherwise analog readout is is ok as well.

Show me your scales!

(please :)

Sacht mal Leute, warum höre ich denn gerade das erste Mal von der “E-Rechnung" und das diese ab dem 01.01.2025 für B2B Pflicht ist. Und von schönen Standards wie XRechnung und ZUGFeRD? https://www.e-rechnung-bund.de/e-rechnung/

Hat da wer schon Workflow Vorschläge? Gibt's da Tooling auf macOS?

Hat sich das der @timpritlove schon angeschaut?

Fragen über Fragen.

One of these days I have to write a lengthy blog post about why I think that coding challenges in the hiring process are a waste of time on both sides of the table - especially in times of chatGPT.

Why isn't there a store in Berlin where you can try and buy different kinds of fresh Chilis?

Random Thought: Aronal und Elmex benutzen hat irgendwie was von in einem Kult zu sein. So eine richtig rationale Erklärung habe ich noch nicht gehört warum manche Leute da so drauf stehen. In meiner Bubble sind es meist Apotheker:innen Kinder.

Oder hat nur diese eine Firma rausgefunden, dass es auf jeden Fall besser ist zwei unterschiedliche Zahnpasten zu benutzen und der Rest sind ahnungslose Stümper? :D

TIL: CAT 7 isn't an official cable category but rather a shortcut if you don't want to bother memorizing the differences between 6 and 6a and always want to go for the better option - in terms of insulation and speed / frequency.

Also for not being an official category it seems quasi official judging by how many stores and network related business operate just fine with the CAT7 terminology. Opinions? :)

TIL: The Fallout TV show, which I've enjoyed a lot, was actually shot on film. Makes me appreciate the effort that went into the first season even more.

If I could change one thing about Postfix it would be clear guidance on what options / restrictions to use to secure your mailserver. Be it through sane and restrictive defaults that you have to deliberately enable or better documentation or even maybe a guidance document.

The documentation is such a messy maze.

Which smtpd_sender_restrictions and smtpd_recipient_restrictions are you using?

Just checking that I'm doing things right in ze year of 2024

Sometimes I feel kind of lucky to live in an age where I can travel back in time whenever I want to enjoy one of the best live concert performances of all time at a touch of a finger:

Hacker Achievement of #37c3 - I've reactivated my 2017 Threema ID from Screenshots and Password guessage.

I did it because I've received my first threema message since 2017 which I couldn't read.

Threema works with my old ID, message is gone though :)

User Experience still 1/10

When I'm looking for certain Italian recipes I try to stay clear from all non-Italian content in written or video format. Usually there are at least 1-2 things off. Plus the Italian content is often more entertaining in its own special way. Todays example: Pasta e Patate

There are translated subtitles but the recipe is simple enough to follow visually.

Enjoy! :)

Man denkt ja, also noch schlechter könnte es mit der Deutschen Bahn nicht werden … ich erspare euch an dieser Stelle einen ausführlichen Rant. Ändern würde es nichts denn jeder der bei der Bahn arbeitet fühlt sich nur als ein kleines Rädchen in der Maschine. Verantwortung übernimmt niemand, Schulterzucken wohin man schaut oder ggf. ein Fingerzeig auf externe Dienstleister. Null Ownership, nirgends. Immerhin kann man so sehr günstig ICE fahren. Geld gibt's ja öfter wieder. Kopfschüttel.gif

If you had ever a question about PostgreSQL, chances are very high you ended up on StackOverflow reading a response from Erwin Brandstetter.

A while ago I found out how to contact him because I really wanted to thank him. Finally wrote him yesterday to which he has responded just now. He does not have a lot of contact info online and it's on purpose. But if you ever wanted to buy him a coffee …
