@juliank Deutsche Bahn: instructions unclear, cancelling your trains

5 minutes into the journey and Scooby already made friends with all the staff and half the carriage, while at the same time ensuring there are no pigeons stowaways onboard. Good boy!

Next leg, #LNER Azuma to London - already looking forward to the complimentary breakfast, pancakes are on the menu today, yay

It's that time of the year again - #LPC and #ASG are happening soon, so time to get on the (rail) road: #Scotland to Austria and then Germany by #train! We start with a tram to Waverley Station, ding ding

Made it to the continent in good time! Last leg of the day, this ye olde #TGV repurposed as regional express service will carry us to Lille, where we will spend the night. We start again tomorrow, but for now, checking the local craft beer situation in the north of France

And now time for the yearly rant about crossing the Eurotunnel: there's a perfectly fine passenger train from London to France and Belgium, so why are we boarding a shuttle train in a taxi? Well, because #Eurostar hates #dogs and is the only train company in Europe that doesn't allow them on board. So instead of a nice and quick direct route, we have to get a taxi on the shuttle from Folkestone to Calais, and then continue from there, at great expense of time and money. Thanks, Eurostar.

Just published the #ASG2024 schedule! Lots of good stuff, and at least one terrible talk that nobody should attend.

Early bird tickets are also still available - but not for long - go grab them while they last!

@hughsie @pid_eins it's not documented, but you can see the list here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/bf49f3bb441b58c40b3e595bc5a5561051719d1c/src/shared/seccomp-util.c#L884

and yes, that includes mlock

On the way to #FOSDEM being pampered on the #Eurostar - train beer under the sea!

I'm doing two talks at #FOSDEM - the first one will be "Soft Reboot: keep your containers running while your image-based Linux host gets updated" in the #containers devroom on Saturday. This is similar to the same talk I gave at #ASG last autumn, but with added demos, one of which from a real #Azure Boost production system (management actually approved that!)

#FOSDEM video recording of my first talk, "Soft Reboot" is already online: https://video.fosdem.org/2024/ub2252a/fosdem-2024-3282-soft-reboot-keep-your-containers-running-while-your-image-based-linux-host-gets-updated.av1.webm

And off we go, Scotland to Austria, via train, and with the floof monster tagging along to boot! Normally doable in 2 days of travel, but due to #Eurostar hating dogs it will take 3 days

And now on #LNER to London, left bang on time - waiting for the complimentary breakfast

Started off with a wee tram ride

Floof monster slightly nervous, probably because at this time he's usually still snoring on the sofa

Southeastern runs on #HS1. Fun fact: the only proper and modern high speed line in the UK, the birthplace of railways, is the line you take when you want to get the **** out of the UK.

#LNER pleasant and bang on time as always - next leg, Southeastern to Folkestone...

And next, after a 4 hours wait in queue, a taxi ride inside this one. Normally you'd just take the #Eurostar and go from London to Paris in a couple of hours, but given Eurostar hates dogs and doesn't allow them onboard, this expensive 5 to 10 hours detour is needed to cross the tunnel. Fun.
