BTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.

TIL in Firefox about:config:

widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled = false
widget.non-native-theme.gtk.scrollbar.thumb-size = 1
widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style = 4
widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override = 16

Gets you scrollbars that are actually visible and clickable with the mouse.

It's 1991, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

It's 2003, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".

Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!

Finally got that Despicable Me meme edited up and ready for when we need it next week (pretty sure I missed this week’s use).

OH MY GOD THERE IS MORE.

You have to excuse him: he has the benefit of heighten (sic) pattern recognition.

something something kubernetes at home
this is going viral and I don’t have a soundcloud, so I’ll just ask y’all to protect trans kids ✌️
@janl mommy can we have some kubernetes?
@ivorytusk @janl We have kubernetes at home

@janl

Stopping off at home to turn the gas off, and then it wouldn't start again.

@janl something, something, dropshipping

drop shipping but different. https://mastodon.me.uk/@DreadShips/114550640357419963

@janl Even more dramatic than Ever Given, but only for the guy who lives in that house. (also that's ten minutes from where I live!)
@arnemart Hah, beautiful place. Did you go see the spectacle?
@janl Nah, narrow backroads and apparently extremely crowded. I'm following the live stream 😅

@janl

It's not good to see, but there is a little #Ansible-Playbook front left at the bow trying to get the ship back into the water.

@janl

If you find something in your backyard, is it yours?

@xs4me2 @janl I’d say you even have to give a ball kicked over the fence back once but the article did say it also ran aground in 2023. If it was his yard both times it’s his now.
@janl I feel personally attacked
@BobDendry It’s your house?
@janl with my giant-ass, over engineered Kubernetes cluster in the backyard.
@janl Settling on a new island in Anno.
@janl "wdym that's not what you expected when you ran docker-compose pull???"
@janl when you realize you should probably reduce the amount of stuff you're ordering online...

@janl hashtag big boat stuck noch einmal

I shouldn't joke, I don't have a boat driving licence, however.

Direkte: Containerskip på grunn utenfor Byneset

Vi sender direkte fra Byneset der et containserskip har gått på grunn.

@johnflomax @janl
No idea what's going on, but sure looks weird and magical somehow...

@janl
O. K. Amazon liefert schnell und direkt.
.
Oké, Amazon levert snel en direct.

OK, Amazon delivers quickly and directly.

🤣

@janl Cant park there sir!
@janl
Invited for a morning coffee ☕?
@janl - Hello; Lucy Honey, I'm home! - 😆

@janl An orchestra should play a Kraftwerk piece, on the deck, for full sassiness.
@janl almost, the ship did miss the house…

@janl This could work as a sort of inverse as well: “You SAID you wanted containers at home.”
