Die nächste Bahnfahrt kann kommen.

@mirabilos yeah, and they don't even realize it. It's rather tiring to the point where I already decided to contribute more to the KiCad libraries for now because they have a strict ban on slop.

@mirabilos yeah, this is why am I rather exhausted from that discussion. Granted, I did start it, but how detached from reality the LLM proponents are surprisingly even me.

ok but have you considered that disconnecting from the internet is actually a good thing?

Thank you!

LIST OF ENEMIES:

xkcd303: but instead of "Compiing", programers now say "Github".

And accepted now. This means user services work now, and a future native init is just an apt install away.

openrc-dbus-user-session and openrc-init packages are now NEW (i.e. queued for review):

https://dfsg-new-queue.debian.org/reviews/openrc/0.63.3-3

This will allow openRC user services to work in Debian, and eventually standalone init.

Because I set my Mastodon posts to automatically delete, I channeled my anger into this blog post telling Tech Bros to fuck off. https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/a-thermodynamic-failure-of-the-soul/

I'm much less upset about the destruction of rare (old, out of print, niche) books by megacorps than I am about the fact that those books can't be digitized by libraries for public access or benefit because the former is legal and the latter is not.

@gloriouscow @microblogc @nina_kali_nina yeah, this was it, thank you!

@nina_kali_nina It's not the "Magnetic Recording Handbook" nor "The Complete Handbook of Magnetic Recording" ;
I do remember it was the first in a series, and had a brown-ish cover.

Hello Fedi,

recently someone posted a book that detailed how to build #floppies from scratch (including the ferrofluid etc.) I thought I had saved or boosted it, but apparently not. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact title, maybe @nina_kali_nina knows? In general the book was talking about magnetic storage, and was from the 80's (I think). Please boost.
EDIT:
Found it thanks to @vaporeon_ and @gloriouscow , it's "Magnetic Recording, Volume 1".

I guess my weirdest achievement so far:

Having started a #Debian GR with probably the most options, ever.

@Diziet great work! Feel free to send a mail.

@nilesh huh, TIL. I assumed otherwise.

@rose would definitly read it

To combat the current existential dread I played some Wolfenstein today and that was rather satisfying.

Voting is now open:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2026/08/msg00279.html

I just submitted mine, I hope one of the sane options wins. Mine would require a 3:1 majority which might be unlikely, here's to hoping. Though I could live with Proposal C too.
