I'm quinn, hi! :)

My life includes stuff like: Cycling, some physics, being depressed sometimes, anarchism and union work, and something with computers (Python and NixOS).

Hat jemand hier Buchempfehlungen über Geschichte des Faschismus / erfolgreiche Strategien gegen Rechts / Gruppen in und um Dresden, die antifaschistische Arbeit machen?

Fühle mich angesichts der Wahlprognosen und AfD-Werbung hilflos, aber möchte nicht darauf rumsitzen bleiben.

I guess social media is not a good place for nuanced discussion, a layer of trust is missing. friends would know that I‘m not trying to undermine their argument or turn out to be a fossbro/nazi/terf/…, but I can understand that people on the internet are more defensive.

(Also, I‘m not emotionally bold enough to deal with bad-faith replies which assume I‘m a fossbro or something, and probably I‘m over-anticipating, but yeah I fear rejection too much to try 😅)

People post studies and I have an itch to basically write a TLDR of the discussion section. But I feel like it will always come off as bad-faith criticism, so I delete the toots.

Just found out that Qt6 is not packaged on Nixpkgs! omg! The issue is open for a year now, and there seems to be a 450 USD bounty on it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/108008#issuecomment-765390949

Without Qt6, tdesktop (and probably other applications) doesn't work :(

And it feels like it is machine-dependent also… So not the router maybe? Or do my other machines have more backup DNS servers?

Do other people also often experience this?

I open a webpage, and firefox says "Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site." But for other webpages it's perfectly fine. And if one domain works, all other pages from that domain work too.

I guess this is a DNS problem, but it's also so universal for me? And appears so randomly? One day, I have no problems, the other, half the internet doesn't work.

Dyson sphere WHEN?

What is „uuuuhhhhhh“ for you?

Example:
„They said they wanted to be done by the end of the month.“
„Uuuuuhhhh, that sounds ambitious!“

Does anyone know, by any chance, if there is already an implementation for a distributed library? Basically a tracking and booking system for physical objects.
I‘m looking for a usb wifi adapter (since I‘m having stability issues with my internal wifi card — looking at you, broadcom >:[ ), and it‘s such a pain! Some manufacturers say they‘re compatible with Linux, but only up to kernel version 3 (cudy). Some advertise as being Linux-compatible, and then in the datasheet they‘re requiring MacOS or Windows, and Linux is not even mentioned (Edimax). And of course, most don‘t even care at all (tp-link, asus, ...). I think the only manufacturer /trying/ to get it to work is panda, but they seem to be only available form Amazon, and their website hasn‘t been updated in 3 years.
