@cwebber @spritely 👋

@jwildeboer oh maybe I should have edited it. I don't see him here either unless I'm missing it (I had both open at the same time).

This whole Jack Dorsey doing a keynote at FOSDEM thing is kind of weird. He's listed in the talk title and description for Sunday 12:00 room Janson, his company (Block) is one of the sponsors, but he's not actually on the list of speakers for this year. https://archive.fosdem.org/2024/schedule/speakers/

@killyourfm yeah, really it kind of is. Yep, records. Some of them were signed- but even though I don't have them anymore I still have the memory of having them signed :) But I really like that I can listen to (almost) anything just about anywhere.

Not to say I haven't collected a bunch of thing here, I'm actually going through things right now to streamline and get better organized.

@killyourfm very cool! I did the same in 2016 (to Germany from California). I left behind my books (shelves and boxes full), thousands of records, cds and cassette tapes and my video games (PC and console). Tidal doesn't replace the music collection, but it helps. For books I had to switch to an e-reader anyway. Games, the ones I could use on Steam are still there, but what I am really really missing is Pro Pinball: The Web (1996). It's emulated on Archive.org but I can never get it to play.

@morph yep, it seems to have a good handle on it (and if it falls in we have a rescue system with a wooden skewer so they can climb back out). And now I think I know what could be chewing its way out if it's in too far (sometimes there are chew holes in the pitchers). Most of the insects that visit get away just fine with a little treat and sometimes they are the little treat.

Can anyone ID this flying insect? It looks really neat. It was hard getting a photo of it and it didn't stay very long before it flew away. #insect #carnivorousplants #savagegarden #gardening #plants #florespondence

@morph cheers, morph! 🍻

@randahl I had no idea that they were not honoring sanctions. ECCO is a brand I have multiples of but now will look elsewhere.

From earlier today, the water seems about the same as last night and the next street over is still evacuated. There were media, demonstrators and a politician in the neighborhood today. The basement of my place is flooded, otherwise seems okay still. #Regensburg #Hochwasser #Bavaria #Flood

#SilentSunday

The Drosera Paradoxa woke up and is out of winter dormancy.

Off of the roadside somewhere in Northern Scotland.

Camping in Northern Scotland.

@hobbsc yep! Not too many mosquitoes right now but a lot of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_midge

Is there concern for snaps or flatpaks? Checking my own stuff it looks like applications using bundled liblzma are running in the 5.2.* - 5.4.* versions, but if someone has a bleeding edge application running an affected version, what would the remediation be? Would uninstalling it be sufficient?

@djsundog @Rairii @liaizon yes, this is goatse.

Open note to self: the non screw-in audio TRS locking cable jack is called "bayonet"*.

I tend to chew through these for whatever reason so have to remember the term when ordering replacements. I'd been calling them "Sennheiser locks" but that isn't exactly right.

#audio

(edit to add- like the B in BNC cable, though these are plastic)

@bobjonkman looks like it started out lower case (Wayback Machine link below), then somewhere along the way people started capitalizing it. I do that now, though that might be from living in Germany for several years and I capitalize more nouns than I used to (even with English), so if/when it's commonly lower cased again from widespread usage maybe it will be returning to its original form :D @evan

Possible origin of the term "The Fediverse" as a term

I'm going from memory, so not sure it's all correct, but usage of the word "Fediverse" early on was typically used with the "!", as a cross-instance general posting group (Fediverse being the "who", in this case "everybody") and was often combined with a subject/topic group (the "what", in the case of !tzag(*), a greeting, which optionally had tags to other subjects or groups.
