Generative "AI" has no idea what it is doing, a story in four images.
The first image is my original drawing (a Venn diagram) with a white background. The second is the same image after I removed the background using GIMP, i.e., made the background layer transparent. The third image is an effort by the "AI system" that is offered as part of my Wordpress setup to create a transparent background. In fact, it has created a new background that is a grey and white grid, a…

Es tut mir leid, aber da habe ich andere Erfahrungen.
"Das läuft hier wie auf der Autobahn", schildert Anwohnerin Brunhild Oehme (81). "Der Verkehr hat stark zugenommen, es ist richtig gefährlich geworden."
Als der Verkehr noch eine Straße weiter lief, war das egal, aber jetzt ist man selbst betroffen.

Dear PM Carney,
Canada has a GDP of $2.24T compared to $2.17T for Russia, ranking 9/197 and 11/197 by economy size, respectively, and we have a tiny fraction of their debt.
Why don't we simply out-bid Putin and BUY the United States? We could teach them how to queue for busses.

Today I learned how to use socat to pipe IPv4 traffic to my #homelab that's accessible only over IPv6 (thanks 1&1 and DS-Lite).
Set the DNS A record to a VPS I already have, spin up a reverse proxy on the VPS via docker, point the right domains to a socat docker container which TCP6's the IPv4 traffic the right way. Don't forget to add an IPv6 network to the socat container. Done.

Hvad sker der? USA's ambassadør i Danmark, Ken Howery, har fredag eftermiddag opsat 44 nye dannebrogsflag foran den amerikanske ambassade.

Det sker, efter at ambassaden har fået voldsom kritik for tirsdag at have fjernet 44 flag, som danske veteraner havde sat op i blomsterkrukker til ære for danske soldater, der mistede livet under krigen i Afghanistan.
