#RightToRepair
"Freiheit ist immer Freiheit des anders Denkenden." - Rosa Luxemburg

So planned arrival is now 16:33, which means I still should be able to make, albeit it'll be close. But as seasoned Deutsche Bahn traveler very doable.

@disaster2life 40° C outside and 300 km/h here

@olasd right, that makes sense. In my uni physics class we actually calculated the contraction and expansion of train tracks at some point; given the extreme heat, this is not surprising.

@olasd o. O are they, really? Well, hoping for the best, thanks!

#interrail Day 5:
After spending yesterday exploring Bordeaux and having a breathtaking experience in Bassins des Lumieres, I am now on my way back. I'll be going to Paris where I need to change trains/railway stations, and from there back to Frankfurt. We left Bordeaux with a delay of 25 minutes, which I hope will be not be too much to miss my connection.
#CrossBorderRail

Really enyoing Bordeaux so far, but having to scan a QR Code to get the menu in a restaurant is just wrong. This assumes everyone has a phone; and this stops working once the internet is down. Another case of forced digitalisation.

The unspoken 8-step pipeline of "just buying a smart bulb"

1. Buy a $15 Wi-Fi bulb so you don't have to stand up to hit the switch.
2. Realize the proprietary app sucks. Install Home Assistant on an old Raspberry Pi.
3. The SD card corrupts. Buy a refurbished Dell enterprise server and install a Proxmox hypervisor.
4. You need secure remote access. Spend 14 hours configuring Cloudflare Tunnels and an Nginx reverse proxy.
5. Wi-Fi latency is unacceptable. Replace every switch in the house with Zigbee relays flashed with custom firmware.
6. Write a 400-line YAML script to fade the bathroom light on, but only if your phone's GPS is within 50 feet.
7. The MQTT broker runs out of memory while you are on a business trip.
8. Your partner sits in absolute darkness for three days because they don't know how to SSH into the Docker container to restart the lighting daemon.

Follow for more over-engineered tech trauma.

#Interrail Day 4: Took the regional Eusoktren Metro (with weird 1 m rail gauge); which took me to Hendaye, France. From there I borded a TGV to my next destination, Bordeaux. However, because a train further ahead broke down, I had to wait in Dax then.
Fortunately, I was able to take the regional TER then which got me to my destination. Currently resting from the scorcing heat outside (40 C)

@cccpresser hm, right. I fear there exists no better option. But nothing that can't be changed

@cccpresser only ever encountered that; and as alternative term, selfhosting.

#Interrail Day 3:
After arriving in Vallodolid again, I'll be travelling to San Sebastian today. This is just a slow regional train, so I'll be arriving quite late there.

This trip plotted in OSM:
A map of Europe detailing my (planned) rail trip: Frankfurt -> Valence -> Barcelona -> Madrid -> San Sebastian -> Bordeaux -> Frankfurt

related: Can I book the Irun -> Hendaya ticket online, and is the 5-minute changeover possible to catch the TGV? CC @jon

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

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

@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.

This took way longer than I wanted, but TE-2085717-1 is now finished in #KiCad. Didn't help that the datasheet had everything in imperial, used a random anchor and had a mirroring mistake.
