Today is one of the days I love the internet.
My child has a toy kitchen, with two LED „cooking plates“ which drain the 6 AA batteries within a few days, despite them automatically turning off.
I opened it up and googled the serial number of the IC and the first thing that popped up was a 10 year old thread of two guys having the same problem. They reverse engineered the board and build a replacement based on a MSP430.

sup. is an open source encrypted fediverse instant messenger, similar to whatsapp, made by pixelfed.

The beta will be launching later this month, and btw most fediverse accounts will work, not just Pixelfed 😉

Michael DeHaan (original author of Ansible) thinks the time is ripe for the world to see a Rust-based Ansible alternative—with potentially 90-95% compatibility with exsiting playbooks—that can scale to 50-100k systems through a new message bus option.

Twitter is now paying people to spread hate

Reminder: if you’re still on Twitter—your presence and your interactions generate revenue. You’re literally funding the alt right.

Red Hat: those who use open source code and don't contribute back are "a real threat to open source companies everywhere"

I call them: users.

I fight for the users.

@ankedb ich habe gerade erst die Drucksache 20/2031 gefunden. Ist hier eigentlich im Nachgang noch etwas passiert? Konnte leider nicht viel zu dem Thema finden.
