As far as #PhotoManagement is concerned, I am now pretty happy with #Nextcloud, it's machine learning Apps and the Android app #LesPas.

Lets me keep, and is working well, with the folder and file naming structure I use and

allows quick, convenient, remote access to my old photos,

while keeping everything out of someone else's cloud.

Finally found a nice scenic hiking area with a view near Carlsbad, Ca.

Met some students going for the same area and of course they turned out to be all European's 😅

What's the problem with #ads and #advertisement?

• ads are information
• ads are intentionally incorrect and misleading
• ads are ubiquitous available information, to the point of being actively PUSHED onto every human reachable.
• for many people who don't actively seek other sources, it is the main source of information.

That"s not a good basis for a #democracy where informed citizens are supposed to make good decisions.

Truly impressive detail, that I had not previously seen with FFF printers. Even more impressive that, what was basically a big block of support material after printing, could peel of witho9ut much trouble to reveal the figures beneath it 😃

printed in @realraum on a Prusa MK4 Input Shaper with 0.07mm and and a 0.25mm nozzle.

I know in #Spain it's common to provide free power to people at bus stops, train stations, etc just like in busses and airplanes... 👍

Manchmal regnet's tatsächlich Geld vom Himmel.

Gerade eine 20 Eurocent Münze auf meiner Fensterbank gefunden nachdem ich das Fenster zum Lüften geöffnet habe. 😅

Mein Eindruck:

Rechte Parteien machen mit Nationalismus Wahlwerbung, dann aber Politik für nur die reichsten 0,1% der Bevölkerung, denen der Rest der Leute im Land komplett egal sind.

#37C3 Tip / Experience of years past:

Remember to drink at least 2 liters of water per day!

There were a few CCCongresses where I caught the CCBug/CCCbola/got sick.

Everytime! it was the day after my throat got too dry because I forgot to drink water, which in turn was because I was running from event to shift to event and did not even notice my dry throat until it was too late.

Great #podcast / article.

Excellently sums up how Internet platforms #socialmedia #saas went wrong these last 15yrs.

They actively prevent you from leaving or transferring your account. They don't let you export data in meaningful ways. Don't support backups. Wall you in and hold your friendships hostage.

By doing this, they stifled innovation, competition and improvement,

making things worse for everyone by preventing improvement!

damit werden die letzten Missverständnisse, die fpö wäre nicht so schlimm wie die afd, final ausgeräumt.

Beide positionieren sich als Sammelpool für Soziopathen und gesellschaftsfeindliche Egoisten sowie Leute mit IQ <80.

Aus Russland kommen anscheinend weiterhin massiv Parteigelder, denn man verteidigt auch den armen Putin der ja nur ein paar Länder erobern will.

Beide arbeiten auf ihre Zensur und Kriminalisierung hin. Kündigen es sogar an.

Had half a day left in San Diego, what to do. Well, I've never been on an #aircraftcarrier so I went and checked out the USS Midway Museum.

I expected some marvelous engineering and some military posing. I got a bit more military framing that I had the taste for, but also the engineering 😅

Many old sailors that served on that ship are now here explaining the ship to you. To them it was just a hard job with good money that someone else deemed necessary and where they could help.

Du weiß du hast coole Mitarbeiter, wenn du in der großen Runde erwähnst dass du zu einem Projekt noch Feedback geben möchtest und der CEO mit einem breiten hämischen grinsenden Lacher, meint "hahaha, sicher zu lach wie lächerlich Datenschutz lach",
und der Witz in der Runde NICHT gut ankommt 😁

Ist übrigens der gleiche CEO der vergessen hat den Strom neu anzumelden.....

Na Großartig. 😔🤦 Die OMV hat bindende Gas Lieferverträge bis 2040 mit Russland abgeschlossen. Aus der Zeit als man befürchtete dass Gazprom uns zuwenig liefern könnte. Auch wenn wir anderes Gas kaufen, müssen wir Russland weiter ungeliefertes Gas zahlen. Bis 2040. 🤦

An schon früher eintretende Klimakatastrophe hat dabei wohl niemand gedacht. 🤦

Und was bringt ein Wechsel weg von russischem Gas, wenn wir weiter Geld zahlen und den Angriffskrieg finanzieren?

citizen rights apparently not worth much if it only takes frustrated kids, to change it for everybody.

Did not condone indiscriminate violence, wanted riots to end and gov. to rethink.

Now thinking: every citizen should riot!
This affects every citizen and business.

Google Search is blocking #hetzner #ipv6 addresses. 🤔 No other search engine does this.

Noticed this while evaluating if tunneling IPv6 from hetzner is faster than via #HE #tunnelbroker.

HE is soo slow, that after 16 years of using IPv6, I'm seriously considering just disabling it :-(

I did it ... 😊 I could not leave it be...
I ordered custom printed #keycaps from WASD for my customized #chrumm #keyboard showing the full #NeoQWERTZ layout. 😅 Plus the keyboards first FN-layer.

They arrived .. today 😀 and they are beautiful. Came out much nicer and less chaotic than I feared. Even though #chaos, chaosknot and fairydust-rocket are part of the design 😁

On top of that, I added o-rings for a softer key-press bottom-out.

keycap design, remix at will: https://github.com/btittelbach/custom_printed_keycaps/tree/main

The photo shows a angled closeup of xro's custom Chrumm Keyboard with newly added custom printed keycaps. The chaos knot is used as symbol for "Alt" and fairy-dust is used as symbol for "Enter" while a gamecontroller is used as symbol for "Ctrl"
