It's only political violence if it's against wealthy conservatives. Otherwise it's just sparkling 2nd amendment rights.

Github is strange these days. Repeatedly it happened that it left PRs open after I pushed rebase-merge and then refused to redo/close "Base branch has changed".

Used to be kind of a nice product.

Horde 6 RC phase is set to start on 2nd of may and there's so much left to do. So few evenings left.

At #SUSECon2026 it's all AI, Sovereignty and Resilience front and center, coloured in a hopeful green theme.

I got some new ideas already.

I won't do this very often but it gave me a chuckle. First addendum says - "Biking lane closed". Second addendum says - "This also applies to bikers".

My car repair shop has "upgraded" its hotline from some old school press this for topic A to a dumb ai bot including fake keystroke sounds and delays on every answer. It doesn't know several domain words (hardly exotic) and tries really hard to turn me off when I ask for a human operator. It's taken 10+minutes to get into the 1-minute call with a human who adresses my need. Give me back elevator music and hold the line loops.
