Historical moment for myself and railways, arrival in France of the first European Sleeper, my first time chef du bord in France 🇫🇷 💕
 Karlsruhe's Nuclear Research Center is a secluded facility in the middle of a forest north of the city. To facilitate commuting, this extensive research complex is served by a dedicated branch of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn system. Usually, this line is served by just two morning trains and two afternoon trains, all closed to the public, like the facility itself - but every couple of years, there is a chance to ride this line (and take photos of it) for the general public on Open Day events.

does anyone in the pacific northwest want an Atari 800? i have one and am ill-equipped to properly care for it. mostly works. comes with the Atari 410 program recorder (broken, but i have a brand new replacement motor), several program cassettes, two joysticks, a few game cartridges, and a couple paper manuals with minor water and mold damage but still readable and scannable. the whole thing was left in a shed for 40 years, and after some cleaning and reseating it's doing remarkably well. might be some ram/graphics issue tho? not sure and don't care quite enough to test.

dm me and I will drive it to your doorstep for free

Today a 14 year old wrote an email proudly explaining how they installed #postmarketOS on their Acer Chromebook, and asking if I could send some stickers to their postal address. I invited them to #FrOSCon (where they could get a lot of stickers!), since that's a family-friendly event, and otherwise said I would try. They replied very happy to get a reply from a pmOS maintainer, and "see you in Sankt Augustin".

I'm just so happy I made the day of this kid :D

The funniest shrinkflation I have seen is that the cheese I get now has holes in it

You may think “isn’t that how it’s supposed to?”

Sure, but that’s only for specific cheese like Emmatal!!!

Mild cheddar does not have holes in it!!! Cheddar is cured in such a way so it becomes one solid block!!!!!

How TF are they messing with the cheddaring process to give you just, less cheese?

And because of that, it actually tastes slightly different and worse to how it should be

We are now officially using @forgejo! The Fedora Forge is ready for contributors to start migrating to. Cutoff for switching from Pagure is by Flock to Fedora 2026.

New chapter :)

While Pagure.io has been a vital part of our community for many years, the time has come to retire our homegrown forge and transition to this powerful new tool.

At the start of this year I was using TPE's ticket booking system and app.
It is terrible. An incoherent mess. There is not enough time and sweary words to describe how horrible it is.

Then a month ago, @seabass tipped me off about TrainSplit, and I am now forever in their debt.

Trainspilt online, and in the app is how rail booking should be.
Clear, consistent, a range of filters if reqd, good info in the app whilst you're travelling, and unlike LNER, you can purchase more than one ticket at a time!

My favourite option is using Exclude Operators to ensure I never have to travel with #crosscuntry !!!

Thank you @seabass
Thank you #TrainSplit

(They also save you some money...)

Google's profound contempt for journalists is on display as it rewrites publications' headlines in search results, sometimes altering the meaning and intent of the original. https://www.theverge.com/tech/896490/google-replace-news-headlines-in-search-canary-coal-mine-experiment

The company calls it an "experiment" -- as if that makes it OK.

Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines

Google is beginning to replace news headlines in its search results with ones that are AI-generated. After AI clickbait nonsense in its Google Discover news feed, it’s starting to mess with headlines in the “10 blue links” too.

Friendly reminder not to store discs you care about (especially anything high density like Blu-ray, HD DVD, UHD Blu-ray) in a spindle.

It's not really a problem when they come from the factory like this 'cause they're stacked in a relatively dust-free environment, but when you re-use them, it's likely not as clean of an environment, and you can't necessarily guarantee that there
isn't debris between stacked discs.

This can cause a problem with every little movement - all that weight and friction of those discs stacked upon one another can cause some real damage, and in a circular pattern. Circular scratches are some of the most difficult to recover data from.

Binders have their own problems, but they're much less likely to do the same kind of damage to your discs. You should
not re-use a spindle from blank media to store discs you care about.
