TIL: This is why lasertag is a thing in the US and not so much in Europe. Gotta repurpose those abandoned big-box-stores!

@daniel_bohrer Ich habe meiner Sparkasse in den 90ern gekündigt, als mich mein “Berater” unterwegs anrief und in die Filiale bat, um mein “überzogenes Konto” “dringend” auszugleichen, mehr dürfe man mir am Telefon nicht sagen.
In der Filiale angekommen, schweissgebadet, eröffnete man mir dann (nach legitimation) dass es sich um den Betrag von 35ct handelte, den ich dringend sofort ausgleichen müsse! Hab dann darauf hingewiesen, dass der Anruf (mobil) sicher teuerer war - “darum gehts ja nicht!”

Oh! #SuperbOwl is trending. Here’s a strong contender from https://www.smjfalconry.co.uk/ West Yorkshire. What a superb owl!

Irgendeiner meiner Follower hat glaube ich verbote gesammelt... Hier wäre ein recht modernes - und vmtl. so ein Fall von: "Jedes Schild hat einen Grund"

✅ Auf die Demo gehen, aber trotzdem deutsche Chemie- und Metallaktien im Depot aufstocken. Irgendwas mit Dialektik, oderso.

Good news!
There might be an asteroid impact in 2032. Its diameter is 40-100m and the probability for a collision with earth currently is 3-6%. If we act with urgency, we might be able to significantly increase that chance.

@layer8 für einzelne artikel mal idealo durchklicken? (ja, ist springer... something something richtiges leben im falschen)

@dansup I wonder how much of this cost is „cloud pricing overhead“

TIL: Signal uses Clownflare for caching payloads for users. lolwat. Feeling somewhat vindicated for not using it. „It’s encrypted anyway“ so why care about the metadata, I guess 🤷♂️🤪 wild.

@markuswet @rysiek
I posted this after reading his post.
See my comment below that one.
This isn't alarmism by any standard, but I won't let a chance slip for taking a piss at i'm-so-clever-and-handsome-moxie and the trust-us-we're-the-good-guys-crew.

@rysiek Which is why my expectation until now was that they just simply don't outsource that. And if they did, that they made sure that it passes a basic laugh-test. But to use clownflare? And declare it to be out of scope because it is "up to users to hide their identity" (from a company that hard-verifies your phone number no less!) wtaf. But eh... one trust-us-pinkie-promise-company hand in hand with another pinkie-promise-company.
Very entertaining, from an outside perspective 🍿

@rysiek @Fairphone Expected. It’s a lifestyle brand.

@LaF0rge @Badscrew Oh. SIP. Telling me that was totally uncalled for. You know how limited my storage space is :)

@Badscrew @LaF0rge A video conferencing terminal for the desk. Besides ethernet connectivity for H.323 (and to connect to a PC?) it also supports ISDN BRI. Even comes with three ISDN ports, so I assume it can do channel bonding (up to 6x64kbit/s?)
It is smaller than it looks in the picture.

Just make sure you don't feel like slowly getting a grip on even an infinitesimally small part of the German language…

@LaF0rge TIL: Der Rispondo hat die Form die er hat, weil er unter ein Signo passt.
