...finally, snooze time!

And the last leg, at least for today, will be to Lille, via this tiny-but-surprisingly-spacious regional #SNCF service from Calais

Back on the tracks - this half cancelled (!! - half of the train is late so we'll leave do without it) #tgv is carrying us to Brussels, where we'll be in the hands of Deutschebahn. May the gods help us all.

Der floofmeister appreciates the spacious compartment on this #ICE however he'd like to submit a complaint about this glass door that's stopping him from trotting around, making new friends and ensuring there are no squirrels stowaways onboard

Update: the DB train guard says the DB app is wrong, and the ICE will not terminate earlier in Koln. The DB app still says it will. Who's right? Who's wrong? We'll find out in a hour, cause nobody knows for sure. Thanks for travelling with #DeutscheBahn

Good news: the #ICE is actually there! (Yes, this is not a given)
Bad news: it will unexpectedly terminate in Koeln instead of Frankfurt, because reasons.

Incredibly the delay into Frankfurt was only 10 minutes, and this next #ICE that will bring us to Wuerzburg left on time. Things are going too well for DB standards, I'm starting to get suspicious.

Good news: the train guard was right, the #ICE did not terminate in Koeln
Bad news: we are 10 minutes late on a 20 minutes connection in Frankfurt

One #TGV, two #ICE and one regio express later, and we are finally in Bamberg, and only with a handful of minutes of delay! Hard to believe. And now, the breweries await

#Bamberg is lovely, but they should seriously consider letting someone who isn't high on diesel fumes do their urban planning. The medieval square with the cathedral, the old court and the royal palace, bustling with tourists walking around, as a thorough route for private car traffic? Seriously?

And finally, #ICE to Klagenfurt - left 5 minutes late, but otherwise all good. Sitting right behind the driver's door - which means in practice a mini compartment of 6 seats, nice and quiet which is perfect for the nervous woof

Anyway, a couple of days and many bocks, dunkels and rauchbiers later, back on the (rail) road. Short trip on this #ICE to catch the very last connection in Munich

Exhibit A: the nervous woof keeping a vigilant eye on the vestibule. You never know when a squirrel might try to sneak on board.

#systemd v255 is out - go get it quickly, before someone runs 'modprobe gremlins' on Github again! https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v255

#systemd v255-rc3 is out, coming soon to a #debian unstable near you - go test it before I brick all your production machines https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v255-rc3

#systemd v255-rc2 is out, go test it or else we'll deprecate your favorite feature https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v255-rc2

ICYMI: we've recently done some work on the #systemd documentation rendered on freedesktop.org, and now all manpages have a drop-down menu to select the release version to visualize. Also individual options are now tagged with the version they were first introduced in. These improvements should hopefully help readers with understanding what options are available in what version.

Example: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/255/systemd.exec.html

@jmorris for all the geeky/techy stuff fedi is great, unfortunately local journalists, politicians and activists pretty much are all still on the bird site as of now, and seems unlikely to change until it collapses completely - which can't be that far away in the future with the way it's going, tbf

Finally, given I wasn't busy enough helping run the conference and herding cats in the main hall, and still had _some_ voice left, I also did a lightning talk on enabling PID FD support in various places:

I also spilled the beans on what the marketers call 'Azure Boost', and I instead call 'the thingy that pays my mortgage and bills', which I find is a much better name anyway:
