Dieser Unsinn nimmt einfach keine Ende. Was soll ich als Radfahrer denn machen, wenn mich eine App vor einem Auto warnt? Schnell das Rad wegwerfen und mich wie ein Igel zusammenrollen?

@qbi Eingabe per remote screen ist eine Alternative, dann ist man sicher davor das ein Update den dropbear unbenutzbar macht. Ist wahrscheinlich nicht weit geteste, ich habe aber keine Statistiken wie oft es schon bei Updates zu Problemen kam.

At the local super market:
I passed by here many times, then I started to wonder why this fridge with sweets is not located near to the other food area. These here need to look tasty to pet owners, and then be bought for their pets :)

Seeing these, @hananoaki commented along the lines of "well, overaging population, many people having pets instead of children..".

@benoit @hananoaki
Good point.. I did not look that deep. They say 一緒にお祝いしませんか, so "don't you want to celebrate together?". Might mean all would eat this, or that pets eat their part and humans something else.
Even calories are written down for the single pieces.. but I guess there are also people who count the calories they feed their pets with.

Betriebskrankenkassen warnen vor Pleite der Pflegeversicherung

Die Pflegeversicherung muss immer mehr Menschen versorgen. Nun schlagen die Betriebskrankenkassen Alarm: Die Pflegekasse stecke im Defizit, sie stehe kurz vor der Pleite. Die Kassen fordern einen Umbau der Versorgung.

@tagesschau Das ist doch mal ein Thema fuer den 11KM podcast: "Warum sind Pflegeheime privatisiert und nicht verstaatlicht?". Damit wird Geld verdient, auf Kosten der Allgemeinheit.

I noticed single houses and walls, made from this special stone. It's 大谷石/Oja-stone, sourced in the area around Utsunomiya. Easy to carve out and form, also insulating well - many of these houses store food.

Day 1/2 of this years rice planting.
While cycling, I saw this restaurant and got the "asparagus menu" recommended. Just a single big pice of asparagus, but very nice. After the 126km I stayed for a night in a hotel in Utsunomiya.

Next day: the beautiful valley where my friend lives.

The team for this years rice planting. The machine, the cars to supply with the plants which have been grown since months.
Actual rice planting done by the machine, but all the pieces it can not do are left to the people

Chopsticks were on an extra plate on the top right, just a small part is on the picture. I guess fork/knife are just taken out for foreigners, I was not using them.

First day of this year's trip to Tochigi-ken, for this year's rice planting. 126km to Uzunomiya. The bags attached to the bike make it much more convenient than the backpack I used last year.

When you run a temple, what can you do to catch peoples minds?
You can decorate the walls with inspiring phrases. Beautiful!

道は照らしてもらえても歩き出すのは自分自身。
Others might illuminate the path for you, but one self is the one who needs to walk it.

@iramjohn I wonder if there is room for an open project to create a search engine where just pages get crawled/indexed which reach a certain level of the 'credibility' score. Basically, we as users who want proper information would via a browser plugin 'vote' for the credibility of the page we see, and if high enough it would get indexed.
'credibility' as in "I see this page is not a link farm", and such criteria.

As I got the Japan license, I unlocked also a new field of interest when going to Akihabara!

There are quite some shops with radio tech. Most interesting: I was every now and then in "Superpotato", a retro game shop. One of the most famous HAM radio stores is on the ground floor of the same building. Not sure how I could ignore that all these years. :)

Bewildered moment this week:

At the skin doctor, first an assistant asks some questions and fills them into the computer, then says "wait for the doctor" and leaves me alone with the unlocked system. 5min, would have been enough to lookup data of other people.

Awareness for these things is low in , I touch on this in https://blog.fluxcoil.net/posts/2020/10/japan_tech_interactions/

Vocab of the day: 朝飯前/Asameshimae.

朝 - morning
飯 - food
前 - before

"Something so easy, you can do it even before breakfast"
I introduced a friend to the laptop, which can be self assembled easily, so 朝飯前.
Not yet shipping to Japan, unfortunately.

Let's take a task like "uncompressing a file".
It's clear that a Raspi is uncompressing slower than a new and shiny Thinkpad.. but the Thinkpad also uses much more power. Who is more energy efficient?

The article compares the energy efficiency of ARM/x86/RISC-V/AppleSilicon. The created framework can be used to easily compare energy efficiency of other tasks, i.e. kernel compilation.

AppleSilicon with remix shines for the uncompress task I looked at.

The Golden Week, a week with multiple holidays, is about to start in Japan.
At the end of our team meeting, the team leader reminds the team: "We all can finally recover from stress.. but don't overdo it! Driving under alcohol influence is against the law! etc." :)
