Bitte macht keine Netzwerkscans im oder über Freifunk.

Wenn ihr Freifunk-Netze scannt erzeugt ihr viel internen Traffic der private Internetverbindungen verstopft und stört.

Wenn ihr aus Freifunk in Richtung Internet scannt nervt ihr die Betreiber der jeweiligen Knoten mit unnötigem Traffic und ärgert dazu noch die Admins die im Hintergrund die Freifunk-Infrastruktur betreiben und unnötige E-Mails beantworten müssen, was denen wiederum Freifunk verleidet.

“Genuinely good new tools don’t tend to need coercion to fuel their adoption only a few years into their existence, right? What the fuck is going on here?”

The rise of Whatever

This was originally titled “I miss when computers were fun”. But in the course of writing it, I discovered that there is a reason computers became less fun, a dark thread woven through a number of events in recent history. Let me back up a bit.

As I watch the behavior of the leaders of the US and more often than not, the UK, I am reminded of the words of Hannah Arendt, someone who saw more barbarism than most, and who recognised its root causes.

@drmabuese We trapped lightning in rocks and built a universe of ones and zeroes wherein we were gods, then used it to do taxes.

The work/art/philosophy 100 rabbits does (@neauoire is one half of the duo) really inspired me to get back into computing-as-an-artform.

Never too late to start making art. Art doesn't have to be good, it just needs to be art; creativity, like skill, is something you can grow along the way.

Make something with no purpose other than to delight yourself or satisfy a curiosity. As a computer scientist you're already equipped with all the tools you need to build wonders ❤️

Data center water consumption is out of control, but cloud providers want EU lawmakers to go easy on them

Big Tech doesn't want the public to know how much water it uses. It wants politicians to secretly give it an unlimited supply, regardless of the impacts on society.

How can this be right?

During an intensifying global water shortage.

During intensifying global heat domes.

Shame on Big Tech.

Environmental gangsters.

New instance, new #introduction post!

The time has come for me to move on to this instance much more in line with my interests.
Gone are the many messages that I posted over the last couple of years, but I'm happy to have found a new, more like-minded community to compensate for this migration side effect.

You will find me sharing mostly #LandscapePhotography, #NightPhotography, #MacroPhotography and #BirdPhotography.

I am also interested in #astronomy and #LightPollution.

Below are a few of my landscape photos.
