Damit ist dann wohl geklaert dass die vom Postillion veroeffentlichten Chatverlaeufe keine Satire, sondern Dokumentation sind.
Kernkraft eignet sich fuer Grundlast - was wir brauchen ist aber kurzfristig regelbares. Ich kann zwar bei Kernkraft den Generator entkoppeln - ich hab aber trotzdem praktisch die gleichen Unterhaltskosten, was das heutzutage unwirtschaftlich macht. Der Artikel verweist da auf fehlende Stromspeicher. Eine andere Option waere auch weitere Leitungen nach Skandinavien um die dortige Wasserkraft als kurzfristig regelbares weiter zu nutzen - Problem daran ist dass das ohne ordentliche Nord-Sued-Stromtrassen in Deutschland nix bringt, Norddeutschland wo das ankommen wuerde hat kein Stromproblem.
And the printed manual that came with the computer showed you how to program it.
You can drop that as far as clause.
Long time ago I got a small screw driver from a D-Link employee with the comment that this is the only non shit item with D-Link branding.
How do you do an ultrasound on a cat with just two people? Last time my cat had one 5 people were holding her, and she almost got away.
Glaubt jemand ernsthaft dass es mit Scholz als SPD Spitzenkandidat fuer schwarz-rot reichen wird?
Wir scheinen in unterschiedlichen Gegenden unterwegs zu sein - ich sehe das nach Verirrungen vor ein paar Jahren eher als Ruecklaeufig
Ist mir bekannt, aber das Thema ist so unwichtig fuer mich dass ich damit keine Zeit verschwende. Wenn mich ein Text nervt mach ich das halt zu, und benutz die Quelle in Zukunft nicht mehr.
Das wurde so in keinem Nachrichtenbeitrag den ich gesehen habe erklärt.
Ich vermute dass das halt oft als bekannt vorausgesetzt wird - sollte in Gemeinschaftskunde in der Schule relativ ausfuehrlich besprochen werden. Du bist Oesterreicher? Muss man halt bei Interesse an Politik anderer Laender evtl. kurz bei Wikipedia reinschauen. Die erklaeren das Grundkonzept auch oft mit den Details fuer verschiedene Laender.
Wer wäre denn für das Suchen solcher Mehrheiten zuständig?
Die Abgeordneten, im Speziellen wer das Misstrauensvotum haben bzw. gewinnen will. Das bekannteste Misstrauensvotum ist vermutlich wie Kohl in den 80ern von Schmidt uebernommen hat.
Ach, die meinen im Sinne von "da muss man sich aktiv drueber aufregen".
Ich find gendern auch doof, und entsprechende Texte schwer lesbar - deswegen les ich halt halt an Orten wo das weit verbreitet ist einfach nicht, und damit existiert das in meinem Leben praktisch gar nicht.
Kann es doch, nennt sich konstruktives Misstrauensvotum.
Soll er es halt mit einem Misstrauensvotum versuchen - oder hat er Angst dass er da durchfaellt?
Biden hat maessigend auf Israel eingewirkt. Der extremistischere Teil von Netanjahus Regierung will Siedlungen in Gaza - mit Biden/Harris waere das keine Option gewesen. Mit Trumps Sieg absehbar hat Netanjahu die gemaessigten Elemente aus der Regierung gekegelt, und ich wuerde fast darauf wetten dass (vermutlich im Nordteil) jetzt Siedlungen entstehen werden.
Er hat im Vorfeld schon zu Netanjahu gesagt er soll halt machen was er machen muss. Falls Trump ungeduldig wird duerfte er hoechstens fragen ob die Hilfe brauchen Gaza in nen Parkplatz zu verwandeln.
Lustig an der Sache ist dass das Pro-Palicamp massiv Stimmung gegen Harris gemacht hat.
Wieso Hiobsbotschaft? Alles ist besser als das Gescholze weiterzumachen, vor allem jetzt nach dem Wahlausgang in den USA. Vielleicht wuerde dann jemand sogar soweit denken dass man die SPD fuer die Bundestagswahl mit einem Kandidaten aufstellt der eine Chance zu gewinnen hat.
Because we're glad it is finally over after having deal with your election bullshit for the last half year? We made contingency plans for a trump win, so we acknowledged his win this morning, hope the planning is sufficient, and finally move on to something else.
Ich finde es immer noch faszinierend wie Deutschland bei Corona praktisch einmal alles komplett verkackt hat.
Bei uns hier in Finnland wurde am Anfang einfach Risikogruppen geimpft, und dann nach Alter absteigend durch die Bevoelkerung - wenn Nummer bekannt kam Terminvorschlag per SMS, ansonsten halt angeschrieben. Geimpft wurde in Impfzentren die auf hohen Durchsatz optimiert waren.
Sobald Impfstoff nicht mehr knapp wurde wurden Impfzentren an Orten eroeffnet wo die Leute eh vorbeikommen - ich hab mir die zweite Impfung schnell nach dem Wocheneinkauf im Einkaufszentrum geholt; da wurde ein leerstehender Laden dafuer genutzt, einfach reinlaufen, Spritze geben lassen, kurz warten, gehen.
It's not just cores - it is higher performance per rack unit while keeping power consumption and cooling needs the same.
That allows rack performance upgrades without expensive DC upgrades - and AMD has been killing dual and quad socket systems from intel with single and dual core epycs since launch now. Their 128 core one has a bit too high TDP, but just a bit lower core count and you can still run it in a rack configured for power and cooling needs from over a decade ago.
Granite rapids has too high TDP for that - you either go upgrade your DC, or lower performance per rack unit.
For people who weren't looking for a developer workstation back then: Threadripper suddenly brought the performance of a xeon workstation costing more than 20k for just a bit over 2k.
That suddenly wasn't a "should I really invest that much money" situation, but a "I'd be stupid not to, productivity increase will pay for that over the next month or so"
Prusa slicer 2.8 UI changes
Screenshots of the UI changes on the Mac - in my opinion it is now just wasting a lot of screen estate for zero benefit.
On non-Macs they're adding an extra usability issue by hiding the top menu bar. I've gove back to 2.7.4 for now - fortunately I had my configuration in git.
Up to 2.7.4:

Deutschlandwochen in Lidl Finnland
Vor ein paar Tagen gabs hier ein Post zu Deutschlandwochen im Lidl in Italien, wo einer aus Schweden und ich mich ueber das Layout gewundert haben.
Jetzt sind auch hier Deutschlandwochen - und anscheinend wurde generell das Packungslayout geaendert - frueher war das alles "Alpenfest", jetzt "taste of deutschland".
Einige Produkte haben sich auch geaendert - z.b. waren die Apfel/Kirsch/Pflaumenkuchen frueher grosse runde Kuchen, jetzt sinds mehrere Teile.
Und Maultaschen sind wieder nicht dabei.
A futuristic city
This is OpenDalle with img2img to make an existing picture into a futuristic city.
I took this picture at work a while ago, and it reminded me of cities with brutalist architecture we see in movies now and then, so I tried to get it made into one:
Other interesting attempts:
Forcing it to stay closer to the source made things look more like a highschool cardboard model:

Import environment variables into Emacs from a shell or similar 'source of truth'
Import variables into emacs from the system environment - GitHub - bwachter/system-environment: Import variables into emacs from the system environment
I recently had to add a Mac to my zoo of hardware I'm trying to do productive work on - which prompted me to clean up and document my environment variable importer, which had grown to platform specific functions with lots of code duplication.
On both Windows and MacOS I have properly configured shells with all relevant variables - so it makes sense to query them, instead of duplicating the logic how they create that configuration into Emacs.
On Linux that'd have worked too, but I also have the relevant variables in the systemd user session, and querying that is a tiny bit faster than launching a shell.
What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?
I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it's pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some pocket money before coming home, while by foot that'd be rather time consuming.
Quite a lot of friends from outside of Europe either can't ride a bicycle, or were learning it as adult after moving here, though.
edit: the high number of replies mentioning "swimming" made me realize that I had that filed as a basic skill pretty much everybody has - probably due to swimming lessons being a mandatory part of school education here.
Cover for old beam central vacuum sockets
My kids broke the flap on one of our sockets, so I had to look into getting them replaced.
Initially I tried to make them clip on to avoid having to remove the complete socket for future replacements, but that ended up either weakening the hinges too much, or making it impossible to attach it with the spring in the right position.
The gasket and O-ring are donated from the original flap:
The original flap and the first test prints to check if I got the dimensions right:

Emacs keybindings addon for Firefox
I'm currently in the process of taking over as maintainer for the emacs-keybindings addon for Firefox.
I've just published the first update in years, with changes including:
- tested on Windows and Linux now
- some functionality is now configurable: debug logging, custom new tab page, experimental features, modifier-less high level bindings
- all keybindings are listed in the options settings page
- M- keybindings are now also reachable via ESC
- M-< and M-> was added for scrolling to top/bottom
- introducing prefix key, currently only used for opening/closing of windows (C-u C-x C-f or C-u C-k)
- search is introduced as experimental feature - currently it just highlights all matches
- the extension now registers as browser action in preparation for additional features
Unfortunately a lot of things that used to work with the old XUL plugins few years back just don't work with the new APIs - and Firefox developers have been sitting on relevant bugs for 8 years or more without anything happening now - so this is probably close to the best we can have for now. In combination with setting editing keybindings either via Gnome settings or AHK it makes browsing almost bearable again.
Heidelbeerkuchen
Die Kinder waren vorher im Wald und haben Heidelbeeren mitgebracht. Daher musste ich jetzt ungeplant schnell einen Kuchen machen.
Falls ihr das nachbauen wollt sollten eure Kinder so 250-300g Beeren aus dem Wald holen.
Boden: Normaler Muerbteig (200g Mehl, 75g Puderzucker, 75g Butter, 1TL Backpulver, 1 Ei)
Fuellung: 250g Quark, 50g Puderzucker, 2 Eier
Fuellung aufschlagen, ggf. etwas Vanillezucker dazu. Ich hatte nur 200g Quark, aber dafuer noch etwa 50g Vanillesosse uebrig, das tuts dann auch.
Beeren unterheben, Fuellung auf den ausgerollten und an den Seiten hochgezogenen Teig geben, im vorgeheizten Backofen bei 180 Grad etwa 45 Minuten backen. Aus der Form nehmen und auf einem Gitter abkuehlen lassen.
Excluding elements from search results when using find.find
On the off chance somebody here is familiar with this API: I've spent some time trying to make using browsers somewhat bearable, and tried - with limited success - to re-implement search using find.find, with the search input in a HTML dialog.
The problem with this approach is that the search query itself is treated as part of the results:
So far I haven't seen a way to have that excluded. Does anybody have ideas outside of "throw this away and reimplement with JavaScript"?
The code is here

Pentax 645N in a Manfrotto Active Sling I
This post mirrors my old imgur post on transporting my 645N.
My old Rowi bag. While it fits it's not an ideal bag for such a big camera.
I've been looking for a while for a better bag now - but many quite obviously can't handle the 645, or are too expensive and not locally available to just give it a try. About a week ago I discovered the Active Sling I. Manfrotto seems to be phasing the Active Sling I out - I've seen it available in multiple places quite cheap, and got a new one for under 30 EUR. Cheap enough to just order it to see if it's usable with the 645 - worst case I'll have a fancy bag for my 35mm cameras.
I can just fit the 75mm lens.
It does have side pockets in just the right size for an 645 film holder, though.
Length of the Manfrotto bag pretty much exactly fits a 645z with the 45-85 FA lens. The compartment on the left is pretty much gone, and just usable for something like a thin filter or papers.
This configuration requires that the camera is in the bag with the grip facing downwards. While not ideal it's still easy to remove it on the lens, and provides some additional storage space.
The space is enough for the 2x teleconverter and the 75mm FA lens. Pretty much what I'd like to carry with me as 'reduced' gear. The 75mm lens weighs next to nothing, but is very useful in low light situations.
Having a small opening on the bottom half of the side would make accessing the lenses a bit easier. I think the new model of this bag does have this, though I'm not sure if it's on the right side for this kind of configuration.
The 645N has a bit more space, both to the front and the side.
The bag doesn't have big external compartments, but there's enough space near the lens for one film insert. I might stick some velcro to the insert cover to keep it in place - that should be a solution I can live with.
It's not the perfect bag for this use case - but a step up from my old one. I'll still play around to see if I can find a better compartment configuration, but with the limited space there aren't that many options. If you're looking for a bag now and can get one of them for cheap I'd recommend giving it a try.
Just after initially publishing this album I noticed the product photo with a smaller format camera standing on its lens - something that never occurred to me as it doesn't fit with any of the bags I own.
I just tried it, and to my big surprise it just barely fits. The camera is a tiny bit higher, but the bag is flexible enough to still mostly close. That'll make the space in the bag much more useful.
Here's the bag closed. It's visible that the zipper is hardly closing, and needs some force to fully close. The red padding can't lie on top of the camera anymore - but does support the side quite nicely.
The 645N in upright position. The eye piece sticks out more than on the 645z, while the rest is a tiny bit smaller. I couldn't close the bag with the viewfinder on the left, like I put the 645z in.
I assume with the regular eye piece this would be a bit easier.
Bonus picture: The 'living dangerous' no padding bag for just quickly taking the camera only.
Using original 645 focusing screens in 645N/D/Z
This post mirrors my old imgur post on how to use original 645 focusing screens in the newer cameras.
Left the 645Z default focusing screen, right the 645 focusing screen with split screen and micro prism ring (UC-21). Focusing screens for 645N/D/Z are compatible (though the screen mounting frame on the 645Z is easier to handle than on the N), the original 645 screen has the same size and thickness as the later screens, but only one tab instead of the later two - and that one tab at a different location.
There is a microprism focusing screen for the 645N (AA-82) as well as a split screen focusing screen (AB-82), but both of them are almost impossible to find, and if they're available, ridiculously expensive - easily over EUR 200. The UC-21 on the other hand can be had for around 30 EUR, including shipping.
From this angle the tabs are easier to see.
To make the original screen 645N/D/Z compatible the notch needs to come off. I've found using an X-Acto knife to prepare the breaking point, and then just breaking it off with my multitool worked very well. It may be necessary to scrape a bit off the edge with the knife after breaking it off, though it doesn't need to be fully smooth to fit.
Important is to fit the screen with the right side up, otherwise focusing will not be accurate. In both old and new screens the notch is on the right side.
With the notch gone it's not easily possible to use the included tweezers to handle the screen - though even with the notch there they're not ideal. I recommend simply wearing cotton lab gloves, and using your fingers.
A crappy through the viewfinder image with the screen installed. The viewfinder seems to be slightly darker, but manual focusing with both microprism ring and the split screen works perfectly. Both the picture on the matte screen and the autofocus agree with those focusing aids, as does the final picture.
