Why is not every carriage in high-speed trains a quiet one? Managed to snatch a place in one today, this is really nice tbh.

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.

A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out a fact sheet about them to a bunch of journalists, but very few are going to write about this. So, let me try posting it all here.

Here's what I know about Reflect Orbital and all the downsides:

I updated my blogs' feed, it's now at https://people.debian.org/~werdahias/feeds/all.atom.xml

Enjoy!

A tweet from VirtualGirl (@VRTLGRLL) reading "Finally" with a screenshot of a gender selector with male, female, and custom with a file uploader maxing out at 10 megabytes. Below is a Google screenshot about the file size of the original Doom game, saying it's about 2.39 megabytes.

@grillchen @twinspin6 @cell alacritty is really fast; though it has no sixels, which is really sad. foot has sixels.

I am glad to announce the #LaTeX language server texlab is now finally available in #Debian unstable.
Just install it and then enable it in your favourite editor.

@debacle @valhalla might know

@anarchiv guess I'm honored

Back then we lent if from the library, and then tried to play as far as possible in the various puzzle games the game had. I have fond memories of trying to get them solved. Definitly animated me to logically think about problems. 10/10 game, thanks to WINE still playable today.

I present: The Löwenzahn video game running on #Debian in 2025. This is a major #blastfromthepast for me. Löwenzahn is/was a kids tv show to educate about science and nature, with a focus on sustainability. It's still being produced today; the original creator/actor died unfortunately. This played a major role to get me interested in STEM, while also not forgetting the environment.
This must be one of the very first video games I ever played. /1

PSA: In #Debian unstable nautilus plugins are currently b0rked, leading to a segfault on startup. Currently debugging the root cause.

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Why is Master of Reality such a good album? Just amazing.

@Ganneff @mirabilos It's on my todo list to reimplement a basic salsa CI in woodpecker (what forgejo uses). If we had that, migration would still be a hassle, but possible. I also suspect we'd have more resources for CI, as forgejo consumes less resources than GitLab.
