Today we had the first day of the Koha DACH Hackfest in Göttingen. After a tour through the data center we started various discussions on Koha. The first feature that was requested was something I actually implemented some time ago (passing SQL to the ElasticSearch indexer), but failed to add to a weird wrapper script I did not know existed. Which I primptly fixed:

Today I created a new Pull Request on GitHub, copied the URL out of the address bar, and pasted into our dev chat.
The URL I pasted is not the URL I intended to copy, but it was instead a URL I’d viewed earlier this morning. I don’t know which part failed here.
Was it the new GitHub-only-cares-about-AI terrible User Interface trying to be clever about address rewrites in their garbage JavaScript-pretending-to-be-a-web-page?
Or maybe it was Orion, a browser I wish I didn’t t…

I've been using wget for years, but until today I didn't know that you can resume a failed download just by adding the -c variable, i.e., wget -c url.
A new tip for the collection.

Paint samples arrived today and it was obvious which was gonna work better so I ordered a full 2.5l can.
Only to get an email back saying they can't make that colour in that varnish. Weird. That was literally the only actually blue they said they'd do last time they said they couldn't deliver what the website let me order.
After some discussion they have referred it to the Tainting Supervisor and it's apparently going to be here Monday.
Similarly for the wood, failed to arrive again today. They reckon Monday this time really for reals. Fingers crossed coz the carpenter can't do more until the wood arrives really and he's going on holiday this time next week.
So assuming the wood comes, four days to build the doors and finish off the walls of the closet and stuff.
Hopefully it can all be done in that time. Or at least the hard bits leaving the easy stuff for the less carpentery builder.

Today I tried to become a new customer with Bank Austria. But their web form rejected my application, and their phone line was only answered by some "AI" voicemail which completly failed to understand me. Seems they don't want new customers...

It's gone too far.
Two disconnections very close to each other =
I'm not launching Fortnite again for today or at this hour...
I'm gonna play some Mindustry on my desktop computer which almost melts out of the heat, it's not my Steam Deck...
don't ask me why I am not buying a Steam Deck Dock...
the scientists tried to understand me.
THEY ABSOLUTELY FAILED!

Good Morning #Canada
As #Halloween creeps up on us, we continue to highlight haunted abandoned towns. Today, we are in Rowley Alberta, a failed railway town near the gates of Hell. Maybe near Drumheller.... I wasn't paying attention. Settled around 1910, it once had about 500 residents but declined after the closure of its train station in 1965, and the construction of new highways bypassing the town. Today, it's a mix of private homes and preserved historical buildings, and the remaining 9 evil residents have worked to maintain its historic charm. They have added new features and even host monthly pizza nights to lure in unsuspecting tourists. Don't go in the old shed with all the sharp farm tools....
