@swetland @ali1234 … even when I click "remember these settings as default". Something's really broken about atril.

@swetland @ali1234 yeah, atril's been my default PDF viewer for a while. Still sad how bad the full-text search is implemented (you search different things, it seems to start a slow plain-text extraction for each letter you type), but that's the same engine as in evince.
I tried to like okular, but it's not happening. But unlike evince/atril, annotations do actually kind of work reliably, so do embedded videos, search, and bookmarks. It also doesn't forget my preferred zoom settings all the time

@manawyrm how do you do the mechanical part of pulling the cable through walls? I have a flat with power outlets that I hope are connected via contiguous pipes, but there's obviously already a power cable in these. Can that still work?

@ann3nova @manawyrm also note that used PCIe 10GBase-X cards for SFP+ transceivers have gotten really cheap (data center equipment that is getting old and thus thrown out)

@parttimenerd not surprising, it can look into the future, as you get a green "all tests have passed" for the time between you push something to a PR branch, and the time there's been a runner allocated to things. (This is a severe UI bug, but nobody at GH cares.)

@rygorous (don't know what comes next in a population sorted listed; my guess is that it's Bad Cannstatt, which is not known for its springs, really, but for beer-drunk Swabians)

@rygorous Also, quite frankly, it'd be, by a large margin, the biggest town to carry "Bad" in its name. Calling it "Bad Aachen" would lend a credibility to backcountry spa towns, which Aachen, being quite proud to be the most Europe-birthing city of them all, wouldn't want to.

The next smaller "Bad" is Bad Hamm (wouldn't have thought that if you've ever been to Hamm, but didn't pay attention to the city boundary street signs), and that doesn't carry the "Bad" in official communications,either.

But when I do a release, I'm supposed to sign my tarballs with GPG, try to keep a good relationship with my distro packagers (who are awesome!), clearly version files, keep a trustworthy presence with users, so that they don't install random crap they find online…

@mjg59 @emf very weird trust chain systems, from vendors badly and if possible well inventing roots of trust through software enclaves through what one might learn from things like webs of trust, decades after they have clearly not been adopted in broad reality

@kaichen @holgi ah das ergibt alles Sinn. Auch wenn ich finde, Weiczorek-Zeul kommt nicht gut weg.
