Filmempfehlung:
https://www.zdf.de/filme/das-kleine-fernsehspiel/kalle-kosmonaut-100.html

10 Jahre Coming-of-Age-Langzeitdoku. Wie das so ist, rund um die solide randständige Allee der Kosmonauten in Berlin Marzahn-Hellersdorf aufzuwachsen.

Hab ich damals als es raus kam im Kino gesehen. Hatte erwartet, dass es irgendwie awkward oder voyeuristisch wird, aber… nix davon. War gut, ehrlich, und sehenswert.

What's missing: An operation mode for md5sum, sha256sum etc. that's basically "take an expected checksum as a command-line argument, read an input stream from stdin, output it unmodified on stdout, and once the stream ends, exit with a return code that tells me whether the stream matched the checksum".

I know --check exists, but this consumes the stream instead of passing it on, which sucks if you intend to pipe it to another tool.

Combining tee and bash's >(…) is probably a workaround for it.

@scy @deraffe Not a one-liner but seems to work (I have a similar use case so I was inspired to hack something together):

import sys
import hashlib
expected_hash = sys.argv[1]
hash = hashlib.sha256()
for chunk in iter(lambda: sys.stdin.buffer.read(1024*1024), b''):
sys.stdout.buffer.write(chunk)
hash.update(chunk)
if hash.hexdigest() != expected_hash:
sys.exit(1)

A friend recommended a newsletter for executives in tech and today's issue had a link to a blog post advising tech leaders on how to get better at asking questions. It had this... illustration...

I am confident the author had no idea how much this graphic torpedoed my trust in them. I am realizing that often people who use AI art don't understand how art works

Now that I have paperless-ngx running and my is working, any suggestions for a software for ?

I have an ADF duplex scanner and will mainly scan b&w ("lineart"), but sometimes in color, too. Output files should be PDF, OCR is optional. I need to be able to remove empty back side pages.

Is there anything that supports different, auto-detected page dimensions in a single PDF as well as auto-cropping and skew removal?

alech,
@alech@chaos.social avatar

@scy I think gscanpdf should fit the bill here

game idea: “pandemic legacy” except instead of protecting cities you play with 14 machines

each start with a default passwords for services and a digitalocean IP

@ktemkin Back in the day, we used to have CTFs that had both an offensive and a defensive component (patch the stuff you found). Those were fun!

All right, there’s a first time for everything

That “is there a doctor on board” announcement on ICE 654 was for me

Because I managed to get part of an earphone stuck in my ear 😳

Now thanks to a friendly emergency nurse it’s out of my ear and I’m ok and I didn’t delay the train

alech,
@alech@chaos.social avatar

@jon the one time it was for me (Brompton fell on my head … ouch), the resident doctor told me that in his experience, there is always multiple doctors on board of any given ICE (“once, we were standing around the patient with five doctors”) 🙃

OK, nerds, how would one map this?

When I was a kid I thought it was "graded" parmesan cheese. Like it had to pass a test before being picked for human consumption.

@Chrishallbeck I thought it was “Sägespende” (saw donation) instead of “Sägespähne” (saw dust/literally saw chips) because the saw was donating wood (to the floor).

Hey @alech! Die Fachschaft Mathematik würde gerne mathebau.de von Dir übernehmen. Sie haben dafür mittlerweile einen INWX Account, den der FS Verein betreut.

Könntest Du mir hier oder der Fachschaft an root@mathebau.de ein Transferaltoken schicken?

Wenn Du das gerne vorher noch bequatschen willst leite ich gerne Kontaktdaten für Dich weiter.

alech,
@alech@chaos.social avatar

@maralorn dann wohl lieber per Mail zur Sicherheit 🙃

I'm so excited to share that my book, HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS: INSIDE THE SYSTEMS THAT SHAPE THE WORLD, will be out on October 17th of this year, on Riverhead Books. It's about the globe-spanning systems we've built to meet our needs: what systems like electricity, water, transportations and telecommunications have in common, how they work, and what needs to change to make them resilient, functional and equitable.

You can preorder it now at:

@debcha @bernat huh, interesting, Amazon.de has a hardcover and a paperback version which both would be able Nov 13th? Weird?
