Hi #Berlin: Free Sideboard for pickup. 120cmx108cmx40cm, three doors, a small hole in the back for cables.
Here’s my 35th “Long Links” outing, curation of long-form offerings, which assume that nobody has time to read all this stuff but one or two of the pieces might brighten your day. This one is mostly political but some of the politics are from France and China. Plus a way-cool analytical history of blogging and a section labeled “wonderful things”.
What a sight! The #NorthernLights were clearly visible in the skies above #Goettingen last night. Here are some shots captured by #mpsgoettingen employees. Enjoy!

This month, GÉANT was in Ireland for HEAnet Conference 2025!
Our CEO Lise Fuhr joined the panel with Ronan Byrne (HEAnet), Heidi Fraser-Krauss (Jisc), and Dr Gerard Culley (University College Cork).
And our very own Monique Pellinkhof & Magdalena Rząca also joined the programme, unpacking the future of EU collaborations, and what the EU AI Act means for the R&E community.
👏 A big thank you to the HEAnet team for an excellent event!
Hello Stranger?
I took this photo recently on a hike on one of my local hills when I turned around and saw a stranger walking there.
I hardly ever have people in my photos, because I don't WANT people there. But this scene was so different.
The fog was just thick enough to see the person, yet I didn't feel like the person was "near". It all just felt so distant.

Fuck, no, Apple. I was forced to update to iOS 26 due to lack of security updates for 18 on devices that can run 26 (i.e., due to extortion) but you’re not infecting my Mac with Liquid Ass.
Notice the dark pattern of pestering you in hopes you will accidentally hit the “Restart” button even though you’ve specifically turned off auto updates. Microsoft-level disrespect for consent here.
(Not surprising from a company that gives golden awards to fascists.)
I know I shouldn't... but after a discussion with @…, I had to generate some AI slop.

From recent discussions on Panix, I immediately wonder how often you back up that SD card to multiple locations.
They make external SSDs now that are orders of magnitude faster than an SD card, but that might or might not suit your purpose (or be worth your time and money).
It is cold in northern parts of the world. Studded tyres are awesome. If you do not have them, forgot to mount them or cannot afford to invest for your usage, I am here for you.
The number of times I have been caught out and unicycled on snow and ice is quite high. If I can do it, you can do it. Just take it easy! Oh and wear a helmet, even if you do not normally. That kind of a fall is exactly what they are for.
Been giving Home Assistant another try. It’s ok I guess.
Probsbly not a common problem but there really is no good solutions that I could find for managing multiple locations from a single instance or even some kind of federated view or something.

Right, that's the record player in place and running! Anyone suggestions on the right (non-poncy) way to clean records and keep it happy? Some, like this one have been in jackets for a long time but are relatively clean; but I also have a big box of singles that probably more careful attention.
Now, the only bit of highfi equipment I need to look at is the Reel-to-reel player (which there's no longer room in that cabinet for)

I decided to try a short ride today to see how I feel later on. (Back paid and leg-wise.) I did not dress warm enough but was only out for 20 minutes.
I tried to (slowly) ride across some ice to see how that feels and quickly learned I need to avoid all ice. If I do ride more next winter studded tires are a must.

This was an interesting problem to work on (back in 2017): A visualization of a path planner for 3D printing (FDM) a single layer/mesh structure of a multi-layer textile. Two setups of the same path strategy which optimized for longest continuous sub-paths and minimum rapids (distance without filament extrusion) between sub-paths. The planner supported six strategies in total, incl. optimizing for straight sub-paths and minimum amounts of "recent" crossings (to allow filament to co…

The way I finally got a reliable, reboot- and sleep-proof wired Ethernet solution on my MacBook Air (M1) was to plug the old Apple Thunderbolt 2 gigE adapter into a TB2-TB3 bridge dongle.

AI deepfakes are now part of our everyday online life—from fake posts w/ high-profile figures to cloned voices that sound like someone you know.
Even if AI makes these scams look more convincing, the tactics behind them haven’t changed: create pressure so you act before you think.
That’s where #digitalmindfulness comes in.
