Funny & insightful article about psychology, science, progress… “We still live in Dark Ages : All we can do is try to leave a little less ignorance than we found.”.. “When we got our chemistry textbooks in high school, there weren’t a thousand blank pages in the back labeled “ALL OF THE CHEMISTRY WE HAVE YET TO DISCOVER.” The text went right to the back cover, as if that’s all the chemistry there is and will ever be.” https://www.experimental-history.com/p/psychology-might-be-a-big-stinkin

Next week I leave my housemate in charge of my triffid collection, and head out for a couple of weeks of interrailing. I've planned the first half of the trip, crossing 7 borders with over a dozen trains in the first week.

But now I need to make the hardest decision of the trip planning.

Which books shall I take with me ?

@tarakiyee about your other post “allowing anyone to participate in the BGP system” there was some boo-ha at ripe88 about “personal ASNs “ & in 2025 there will be 50€ charge for ASN so… let’s talk :) plus I’m maybe going to organize bgp security hackathon - wanna do it together?? Or at least join..

@tarakiyee it’s a yearly fee that LIRs pay to NCC ; but probably it will translate to a fee for the actual network user. Let’s email!

Update! Due to a “Faak”-ery in the SEE/Balkans (long delay - missed my connection) & after a lot of planning & juggling with FlixBus / train options, I decided to stay overnight in Villach, then take an early train tomorrow. Now, with the cancellations because of storm damages in Germany, I do hope I will get to Berlin at all! or at least to Munich,… & then : I’ll make a new plan.

Notice on dbahn.de : trains north canceled
Booking confirmation: hotel seestuben

My stay in Villach turned out to be wonderful :) I’ve napped a lot; the weather improved significantly: sunny & warm till 8PM; my hotel was a small #spa resort on the #lake - with swans! & view of #mountains! So I’ve fed the #swans this morning (radish leaves & “napolitanke”) ! & made it to the #train! Thanks #OEBB ! #InterRail #rest #day #vacation #NapMinistry

Its smell is enchanting… plus: an inspiring staircase for the cat & nice mural on the wall. // Friends in , let’s catch up! Although I’m at the conference every day 5-9.6. & at training 13-14.6. … but we can try to meeet up - ping me here or on Signal.

trip continues… but first, impressions from : I’ve enjoyed meeting strong women , but there was always trees in the background for me… I am taking inspiration from the turtles for the slowness… I attended the workshop about resting! And then I left… I was on the station on time .. -> going to again!!!

Hmmm the trip didn’t really go as planned ;) Night train was delayed for an hour so I’ve missed the bus; & it’s SO HOT in Croatia!! & the afternoon train has another 50 minutes delay… But I saw Zir! & fixed the door with a life hack & recycled materials ;)

Train schedule with delay added by hand ;)
