@apicultor@hachyderm.io

In a sense, I am a beekeeper, hence the username.

I work in the rail industry trying to secure all the things: tons of legacy infrastructure which is now being networked.

Never forget: there is no cloud, there is only other people's computers.

I break shit for fun. Sometimes I even fix it afterwards!

They say that "life is what happens while we're busy making other plans", and they're right; tot i que la vida m'ha allunyat de Catalunya, tinc moltes ganes de tornar a casa.

Geek. Aspie. Poly.

Trying to help a friend get from Madrid to Paris 8 June. And I want to ๐Ÿ˜ญ

โ‚ฌ122 for the best timed TGV train to Paris โ‚ฌ97 is the cheapest
Cheapest flights from โ‚ฌ43
Other flights โ‚ฌ54 - โ‚ฌ74

@jon Don't forget to add a few euro in Madrid and at least twelve in Paris to actually get back into the city.

If you are booking very close to departure, then the price isn't great either way.

Did you look at Madrid-Lyon via Renfe and then a Freccia or Ouigo from there to Paris?

@jon Yes, but one of those choices is going to be fucking misery, and the other one is going to be beautiful views, free internet access, and a picnic which can contain a bottle of wine and a corkscrew.

@apicultor@hachyderm.io avatar

@unifiedpush I love the concept of UnifiedPush, and indeed I use it with Element on with no Google anything installed (and thus no Google-powered push notifications).

However, Signal's push notifications work flawlessly on this same device, so clearly they handle their own notifications (and do a good job of it).

So, other than , what's the benefit to the end user of Molly over ?

My father wanted to pay a EDF French electricity bill from a Belgian bank account, and was told that this was not possible because the bank was outside France

I formulated a stern email to EDF for him, in French, stipulating this was not allowed as a reason within the Single European Payment Area (SEPA), and within a few hours they relented in a grovelling email!

The Roman empire fell because their Roman numerals weren't a form of positional notation, so they couldn't figure out binary. Their computers were terrible.

Trenitalia seeking more business in France

Good trains. Sensible company. Thoughtful offer. I wish them well! And some international trains - to Genova and Madrid - are being considered, as well as operation of 16 carriage trains to Lyon

@jon I am absolutely fucking overjoyed to read that headline. I wish them nothing but the best.

Great trains, too.

>investigating options for high speed services from Paris to destinations such as Genova, Marseille and Madrid

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if FS started serving Paris-Madrid before Renfe? Yikes.

apicultor,
@apicultor@hachyderm.io avatar

@jon AFAIK Renfe has been waiting for authorisation from the EPSF, which issues same on a sector-by-sector basis.

They're dragging their heels to maintain SNCF's monopoly on the route as long as possible.

RIP Laurence Victoria Taranto Mercier

My mum passed away on Thursday 25 April 2024. She was found on Monday 29 April. She died in her bed, in her sleep, and didnโ€™t suffer. I donโ€™t remember when I last spoke to her. Probably over a year ago. The last time I wrote about her, 8 months ago, to put into words that I had finally given up hope to get along with her, we had stopped speaking to each other 6 or so months prior.

An NPR reporter collected samples of raw milk from 4 farms in Texas, and asked a USDA-authorized lab to test for bird flu. The lab refused to do it, because the farms wouldn't give them permission to test, even though permission isn't required. Wow.

@luckytran Sounds like they should name and shame the lab, and then give the samples to one who will.

It covers every sound protection wall everywhere in Germany. Perhaps these transparent walls are a little easier to clean? We can hope..?
