I am proud to annouce that the Gstreamer GTK4 plugin is now available in #Debian. This will allow to directly offload the load of video decoding to hardward via dmabuf, thus greatly reducing CPU load.

Suit case successfully transported with a Nextbike. Was a bit scary since it was really heavy and even slipped once, but it went well.

@braid which part ?

@IchMeine @jon maybe state-owned DB got a bit to comfy, yeah. But privatization of infrastructure is never a good idea, ever. Critical infrastructure like railway and water must not make profit in the first place imo. Sure it needs constant investments, but all people profit from it, too. Yet another thing the Kohl administration messed up

Hallo #Debian

ich möchte gerne eine lokale Debian User Group (DUG) für das #RheinMain Gebiet starten.

Ich such noch Menschen, die mich dabei unterstützen wollen. Mehr Infos:

@jon I'm really angry at times when I think how the rail system was before DB got privatized. Overall it's good, but not investing anything relevant in the system for the last 16 years did not help.
I really hope it gets better.
Brenner-Basistunnel is still not even in the planning phase, either.

I'm glad to annouce Loupe 46.2 and snapshot 46.3 are now available in unstable.
This was blocked by a massive update of crates I worked on the past two months. #Rust #Debian #GNOME

@grillchen TIL. Ist ja sowieso wild dass es im Schengenraum überhaupt Grenzkontrollen gibt

@Exilsarahl o.O (Spektrumanalyzer)

Gibt nichts besseres als wenn der ICE durch fragwürdige #Grenzkontrollen ( die sicher keine Bias haben) wieder mal um 20 min verspätet.

@josch thanks, will do tomorrow on the train

@josch @jacqueline@chaos.socialaybe we should discuss if we want to keep it in Debian. Tbh I filed the RFP for hyprland but that was way back before I learned how bigoted upstream is. Such behavior has no place in Debian, full stop. Shipping a piece of software from a dev endorsing it makes me uncomfortable to say the least.

@jon shitty service either way, this lets a lot to be desired

@jon average DB experience be like

So schraubenkiste, a font which allows for easy labeling and sorting of screws, is available in #Debian now.
Upstream homepage (German though):
https://www.peter-wiegel.de/Schraubenkiste.html
It is really nice, just typing TX will give you a torx screwhead symbol you can print out on a label then.

@NinaRckln @jon ah yeah: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrid%E2%80%93Extremadura_high-speed_rail_line

Let's hope things improve !

@NinaRckln @jon I think the link from Badajoz to Lisbon is currently being built, but iirc there were some issues as the portuguese government opted out at some point. Madrid-Badajoz is fine imo, but a direct line would be much appreciated
