German news programme Tagessschau has an article complaining about Poland extending its border checks and only mentions the German checks – which made Poland start their checks in the first place – indirectly in two half sentences.

Ok, today’s xkcd is glorious!

[edit] I should probably mention you need to visit the site for the full effect, it’s more than just a comic today!

Pet peeve of the day: the #Google #gmail configuration pane to send mail through an authenticated connection to an SMTP server and conflates #TLS and #SSL in misleading ways. In this UI there are two selectors:

1) "Secured connection using SSL (recommended)"
2) "Secured connection using TLS"

What these actually mean:

1) "Secured connection using TLS"
2) "Secured connection over cleartext SMTP that is then upgraded to TLS with STARTTLS"

Nowhere does long-dead "SSL" come into play. (I just really hate it when TLS gets called "SSL", especially when here there is an option for "TLS" which means something different entirely.)

Dnes slaví 90. narozeniny Jiří Grygar, astronom, astrofyzik a popularizátor vědy v oblasti astronomie a astrofyziky.

Člověk, který mě provází od dětství do dnešních dnů a díky němu občas rád zvednu hlavu k nebi.

Okna vesmíru dokořán jsou stále díky němu otevřená v Meteoru. Všechno nejlepší a díky!
