@sun@shitposter.world I feel like the field of programming is important tho. E.g. if I started with frontend, I probably wouldn't be here. Trying out a bunch of broader set of "specialties" is quite good I feel like

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @ellenor2000@mastodon.top nah, that doesn't result in bleeding

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me :trollface: certbot

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me FWIW this only fails the first part, but it's packaged for every distro on earth anyways so idk if a big minus on that

@sun@shitposter.world @meso@the.asbestos.cafe they find people who can

this paper is about imaging stuff with mri, some fun notes about performance https://www.bmj.com/content/319/7225/1596

@sun@shitposter.world there's just JS, and there is DOM soup

few people make proper DOM soup that works well with screen readers

@sun@shitposter.world people fear what they do to others

a political reset in USA will be painful for a lot of people, but seems inevitable with how it's going

@sun@shitposter.world oh, for sure

but the state of politics in USA from my view has essentially devolved into a grudge match where each side is trying to make the other one hurt as much as possible without any consideration for others, and such moves start making sense.

@cinebox@hackers.town @gsuberland@chaos.social there's also inkjet printed silkscreens on some products

@sun@shitposter.world I mean, it's not really for future crimes, it's for future litigation

american political climate seems incredibly stupid in general though, even compared with some quite stupid stuff here

@sun@shitposter.world you know good old webauthn keys?

well that but tied to google/apple/microsoft/whatever and with marketing

@sun@shitposter.world IPFS in general is quite shit. It's essentially reinventing torrents+DHT, just with a shittier protocol. IPNS (or whatever the stable naming thing of theirs is called) is more interesting, but seemed hopelessly tied to the rest of the shit to be useful.

@sun@shitposter.world @grillchen@brotka.st Eh, not sure if that's necessarily true.

Natural fires are way rarer, because you need an ignition source (lightning I guess), and dry enough conditions for said ignition source to actually ignite and propagate.

With humans, both the ignition sources are way more common, and the ignition sources are way more potent, able to start fires without needing for it to be that dry.

I feel like that's the biggest reason for more fires - more and more potent ignition sources.

@sun@shitposter.world @grillchen@brotka.st I mean there's fairly few cases that fire "just happens", most of it is human-caused one way or another. Electrical lines sparking or arcing is human-caused, but isn't meaningfuly an intentional fire.

A bit more tattered train to Riga this time

At switches it's swaying wildly, with the sliding doors in the carriages loudly opening and closing with a bang.

This should be in a museum of mistakes, not something still on rails. It's genuinely awful to ride.

Riga and the way nicer LTG Link train moments before it fills up.

And today the reverse journey to Friday's one: Talinn - Kaunas

Still no train

Only a couple minutes before departure - Train. Departed 3m late of the scheduled departure. There's a bunch of delays in the direction this is going because of weather, will see if we encounter any - transfer on Valga is only 16 minutes, do if there's any delays, will probably get to check if it's guaranteed 🙃

However, boarding was confusing. It arrived as two coupled units (couldn't tell if you were standing in the front), and then decoupled while by the platform. Only the further unit was boarding to Valga, but this was not announced in English (maybe in Estonian, but I understand nothing of it). If I didn't see people going to and boarding the further train I probably would've missed it. Certainly some improvements in this area could be made.

Lots of snow today
