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.

Deutsche Bahn is introducing transparent noise protection walls

https://www.deutschebahn.com/de/presse/pressestart_zentrales_uebersicht/Mehr-Durchblick-weniger-Laerm-DB-entwickelt-innovative-transparente-Schallschutzwaende-12861336?trk=feed_main-feed-card_feed-article-content

But what’s missing?

Graffiti

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

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.

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 didn’t suffer. I don’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.

Fun demo of the difference that galvanizing makes. The left stack of nails are bright finish, where the right stack are galvanized, so the zinc kept them from rusting when I left them out overnight

@kwf They only galvanize the top half?!

If only my knowledge of EU law had the desired impact this fast every time 🙂

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!

“Kon­trollen an deut­scher Grenze sind rechts­widrig”

Interessanter Fall. Nicht zuletzt, weil der betreffende Wissenschaftler die gleiche Frage (Maßnahme um eine Identitätskontrolle oder eine Grenzkontrolle?) verwendet, die ich seit Jahren benutze.

Trying to help a friend get from Madrid to Paris 8 June. And I want to 😭

€122 for the best timed TGV train to Paris €97 is the cheapest
Cheapest flights from €43
Other flights €54 - €74

apicultor,
@apicultor@hachyderm.io avatar

@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?

Excellent post by @cks regarding how quickly boxes get probed after having their FQDNs included in a Certificate Transparency log (aka having a TLS certificate issued for them):

https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/web/WebProbeSpeedNewTLSCertificate

Lively discussion on Hacker News too:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38620927

This is actually why I use only wildcard certificates when possible — not for security by obscurity, but why stick your head out of the trench and call attention to yourself when you don't have to?

I feel bad that I spent $6 on pre-cut fruit at the grocery store my last trip, but here I am eating fruit for once instead of letting whole fruits just rot in the fridge. :/

apicultor,
@apicultor@hachyderm.io avatar

@TomF @Moosader One day, you should walk into a French grocery store and see just how big the cheese section is and how good (almost all of) it is compared to nearly anything you can find in North America. It will ruin North American "cheese" for you forever.

And on your way out, stop by a boulangerie and get a "baguette tradition".

THEN go to a fromager (just like a butcher, but cheese) and you won't even want the cheese from the French grocery store.

I... I don't even have words.

@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 ?

If musicians were devs:

"I'm a Fender Stratocaster player, with 10 years' experience playing major chords, minor chords, 7th chords,, the major scale in A, E and D, the blues scale in A, E and D (see my leetnote and shredderrank profiles for all the scales and chords I know). My tech stack experience includes Marshall Plexi and JCM amps, BOSS Blues Driver (BD-2), EHX Memory Man, BOSS Chorus CE-2, Dunlop Cry Baby.

What kind of music do I play? I'm sorry. I don't understand the question."
