Tried out SolveSpace at work yesterday and I was blown away how simple CAD can be. #FreeCAD never clicked for me. Built SolveSpace from source, read the docs for 10 minutes, and it was a breeze to create a 3D model of a connector. Sketch in in 2D, extrude, add constraints, done.
Might write a blogpost about it tbh; really great software.

Does the #Interrail website not have an option to bookmark trains? The app does, but it sucks to not have an overview on desktop.

@thezoq2 yo dawg

After enough years in software, you learn that LGTM doesn't actually stand for "Looks Good To Me".

Only the pros know its real meaning:

"Looked. Got tired. Merged."

A brand Manager getting ready for Pride Month 🌈

by Smooth Dunk

8 panel comic

Panel 1: Yellow guy is working on a laptop in the background. In the foreground is a Brand Manager. Yellow Guy: “Sir, shall I put up our rainbow profile picture?” 

Panel 2: Brand Manger snaps his head round and hisses “Cool your jets, Eugene. I’m checking the Profitometer” 

Panel 3: Gonna do my best to explain this. We see The Profitometer. A huge machine that whirs and ticks. A digital display at the top of the machine reads “Supporting Pride equals”Beneath this display is a huge gauge with “Max Loss” on the left and “Max profit” on the right. There is a needle that is pointing exactly half way between the two extremes. 

Panel 4: Close up on Brand Manager’s face. His teeth are gritted. Sweat trickles down his brow.

 Panel 5: Close up on gauge. The needle remains exactly central 

Panel 6: Close up on Brand Manager’s eyes. They are concentrating intensely. Also, more sweat.

 Panel 7: Close up on the gauge. The needle clicks ONE DEGREE towards profit 

Panel 8: Brand Manager screams like a football coach “GO GAY EUGENE”

@rl_dane @navi with any luck Debian forky will ship a usable openRC with fully native services

@Diziet @JeremiahFieldhaven would also run the fork if the Debian package does not get reverted

@sunweaver @Diziet @JeremiahFieldhaven I filed a bug for that today.

@rl_dane yeah....
Though I really like openrc, it is like a mature sysvinit. Once that support has landed and the rough edges are done this should be a very solid experience. The major missing services are ssh, dbus, bluetooth, some dns(avahi?), cron.

@rl_dane @benjamineskola @RootMoose haha, no. It still works, but the default is still systemd and most is catered towards that.

@rl_dane @RootMoose @benjamineskola
you'll want https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dpkg-root-demo/-/merge_requests/11 and https://salsa.debian.org/debian/openrc/-/commits/wip/native. This works for a bare sysinit, but I did not test more than that. Note that this is highly experimental and you need to build your own packages.

@navi @benjamineskola @RootMoose @rl_dane @2something already works for sysinit, but nothing yet I would daily drive. Though I would really need testing of all init scripts that do not exist yet as native openrc service, such as ssh, apache, ...

Today's wtf moment: Stocked up on my anti histamine medication today, and asked for one not containing a certain compound. The pharmacist the looked around for a bit and then was like " Guess I'll ask AI". It took me quite some restraint not to add a snarky comment.
In the end the found one manually anyway, but Jesus...

@josch es gibt Flohmarkt vom @grindhold, aber das ist noch in den Anfängen

@josch what the fuck.

@navi wow, that was fast, thanks!

@highvoltage honestly with people using slop machines like that without thinking my patience is rather thin. This is akin to spinning a magic 8 ball, and people still trust it.
