And I started thinking that I could use them in the same way I tend to use desktop workspaces: organizational buckets to put groups of windows in.
I use eyebrowse for that - also gives me that functionality without wasting space with useless UI elements
Only way I managed was chrome in porn mode via VPN.
Went digging a bit after that and found a statement from them that anonymous download issues are intentional to drive people to make accounts.
Can we ban makerworld links here? They have a low limit on downloads without registering an account, a very shitty default license many use without the reading and generally don't hide they want to run that thing as a walled garden.
Mit drei kam meine an mit "ja, ja, und du hast auch noch Dinosaurier getroffen" als ich was erklaert habe was frueher anders war, und ist nicht besser geworden

Now I'd recommend looking up how much power can be transported by the very few implementations out there, and how much they cost.
Anything coming close to being able to power a drone would need way thicker fibers, increasing the drone weight. Any too big bend would set the fiber on fire. And it costs so much that building a slightly bigger drone with more batteries is cheaper.
zypper remove --clean-deps removes automatically installed requirements when removing a package. zypper packages --unneeded will show a list of packages no longer required.
Setting solver.onlyRequires to true in /etc/zypp.conf does not install recommends - it's way less of a problem than on Debian/Ubuntu due to not recommending half the world, but still useful. Setting solver.cleandepsOnRemove will automatically remove automatically installed deps when removing a package (i.e., like always specifying --clean-deps).
Just get a drive from any old notebook of the last 15 years or so someone wants to throw out, and buy a USB to SATA slim cable.
it has been known for years that the defaults on windows are insufficient, and they don't make it easy to switch to a password prompt at boot time (though it is possible)
While I fully support that comment, their cloud printing thing also is annoying - I'd rather they spend effort on proper lan printing.
On my mini I'm still using octoprint (even though I've added a network card), on my mk4s I'm using the local connection for uploading - but I got the GPIO board, so once I have time that should enable me to get better monitoring working again. But it all still feels kludgy - something like enabling octoprint control via network instead of USB for the mk4 would be way nicer.
Wurst Kaese Szenario
I did a bunch of vacuum adapters last year and ended up just going for some stiff TPU. Solves the cracking at layer lines issue and compensates for unevenness of the vacuum.
Which reputation? I used to work for a dell heavy hoster with thousands of dell servers almost 20 years ago - and apart from them being cheap I have nothing good to say about them. Worst is the remote management - several generations of DRACs all broken in new and interesting ways, and support is useless. You just get better discounts at that scale, which for a business owner drowns out the complaints of the tech people.
Notebooks also have similar bugs over generations - and nowadays they also feel even cheaper than they used to be.
Displays were somewhat acceptable - given you're fine to work around the DPMS bugs they have in pretty much every display for the last two decades - but their display selection page is unusable and lacks most interesting details. So it is better to just get something you can check out in a shop.

Gerade namespaces/cgroups/auditd/selinux sind - korrekt eingesetzt - sehr nuetzlich. Ich wuerde sagen man kann heutzutage ein Linux sicherer bekommen als ein OpenBSD.
Ich hätte frueher viel OpenBSD benutzt, hatte dann aber mit dem Release von Kernel 2.4 Funktionsgleichheit beim fuerich wichtigen Zeug, und seitdem nur ab und an gespielt. So massiv was getan hat sich bei OpenBSD seitdem nicht.
FreeBSD fuehlt sich an wie ein Fedora in noch nerviger.
I expect the responsible person listed for some specific application to react to an email about it to fix it, and not send me police. Why would I want to jump through hoops for doing them a favour?
Same applies also if there's no easy way to send a mail to someone responsible.
Depends on how the parties behaved in the past. There are a bunch of government entities which called police on me in the past when trying to work with them about discovered issues and as result also will just get anonymous 0-day drops in public forums for future issues.
Each disk needs at least one partition, but it can contains multiple partitions.
The boot disk needs to contain at least one partition (because of the way booting works), for the rest they're optional.
That'd break git repos where files with the same name, but different case exist.
Prusa slicer 2.8 UI changes
Screenshots of the UI changes on the Mac - in my opinion it is now just wasting a lot of screen estate for zero benefit.
On non-Macs they're adding an extra usability issue by hiding the top menu bar. I've gove back to 2.7.4 for now - fortunately I had my configuration in git.
Up to 2.7.4:

Deutschlandwochen in Lidl Finnland
Vor ein paar Tagen gabs hier ein Post zu Deutschlandwochen im Lidl in Italien, wo einer aus Schweden und ich mich ueber das Layout gewundert haben.
Jetzt sind auch hier Deutschlandwochen - und anscheinend wurde generell das Packungslayout geaendert - frueher war das alles "Alpenfest", jetzt "taste of deutschland".
Einige Produkte haben sich auch geaendert - z.b. waren die Apfel/Kirsch/Pflaumenkuchen frueher grosse runde Kuchen, jetzt sinds mehrere Teile.
Und Maultaschen sind wieder nicht dabei.
A futuristic city
This is OpenDalle with img2img to make an existing picture into a futuristic city.
I took this picture at work a while ago, and it reminded me of cities with brutalist architecture we see in movies now and then, so I tried to get it made into one:
Other interesting attempts:
Forcing it to stay closer to the source made things look more like a highschool cardboard model:
IT security EDC bag
I've finally found a bag which nicely fits almost everything I want to carry every day, and alos makes everything easily accessible - it is about the same size as what I used to carry, but now I no longer need to dump everything out to find what I neede, even with some lose parts still in there.

Import environment variables into Emacs from a shell or similar 'source of truth'
Import variables into emacs from the system environment - GitHub - bwachter/system-environment: Import variables into emacs from the system environment
I recently had to add a Mac to my zoo of hardware I'm trying to do productive work on - which prompted me to clean up and document my environment variable importer, which had grown to platform specific functions with lots of code duplication.
On both Windows and MacOS I have properly configured shells with all relevant variables - so it makes sense to query them, instead of duplicating the logic how they create that configuration into Emacs.
On Linux that'd have worked too, but I also have the relevant variables in the systemd user session, and querying that is a tiny bit faster than launching a shell.
What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?
I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it's pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some pocket money before coming home, while by foot that'd be rather time consuming.
Quite a lot of friends from outside of Europe either can't ride a bicycle, or were learning it as adult after moving here, though.
edit: the high number of replies mentioning "swimming" made me realize that I had that filed as a basic skill pretty much everybody has - probably due to swimming lessons being a mandatory part of school education here.
Emacs keybindings addon for Firefox
I'm currently in the process of taking over as maintainer for the emacs-keybindings addon for Firefox.
I've just published the first update in years, with changes including:
Unfortunately a lot of things that used to work with the old XUL plugins few years back just don't work with the new APIs - and Firefox
Heidelbeerkuchen
Die Kinder waren vorher im Wald und haben Heidelbeeren mitgebracht. Daher musste ich jetzt ungeplant schnell einen Kuchen machen.
Falls ihr das nachbauen wollt sollten eure Kinder so 250-300g Beeren aus dem Wald holen.
Boden: Normaler Muerbteig (200g Mehl, 75g Puderzucker, 75g Butter, 1TL Backpulver, 1 Ei)
Fuellung: 250g Quark, 50g Puderzucker, 2 Eier
Fuellung aufschlagen, ggf. etwas Vanillezucker dazu. Ich hatte nur 200g Quark, aber dafuer noch etwa 50g Vanillesosse uebrig, das tuts dann auch.
Beeren unterheben, Fuellung auf den ausgerollten und an den Seiten hochgezogenen Teig geben, im vorgeheizten Backofen bei 180 Grad etwa 45 Minuten backen. Aus der Form nehmen und auf einem Gitter abkuehlen lassen.

Pentax 645N in a Manfrotto Active Sling I
This post mirrors my old imgur post on transporting my 645N.
My old Rowi bag. While it fits it's not an ideal bag for such a big camera.
I've been looking for a while for a better bag now - but many quite obviously can't handle the 645, or are too expensive and not locally available to just give it a try. About a week ago I discovered the Active Sling I. Manfrotto seems to be phasing the Active Sling I out - I've seen it available in multiple places quite cheap, and got a new one for under 30 EUR. Cheap enough to just order it to see if it's usable with the 645 - worst case I'll have a fancy bag for my 35mm cameras.
I can just fit the 75mm lens.
It does have side pockets in just the right size for an 645 film holder, though.

Using original 645 focusing screens in 645N/D/Z
This post mirrors my old imgur post on how to use original 645 focusing screens in the newer cameras.
Left the 645Z default focusing screen, right the 645 focusing screen with split screen and micro prism ring (UC-21). Focusing screens for 645N/D/Z are compatible (though the screen mounting frame on the 645Z is easier to handle than on the N), the original 645 screen has the same size and thickness as the later screens, but only one tab instead of the later two - and that one tab at a different location.
There is a microprism focusing screen for the 645N (AA-82) as well as a split screen focusing screen (AB-82), but both of them are almost impossible to find, and if they're available, ridiculously expensive - easily over EUR 200. The UC-21 on the other hand can be had for around 30 EUR, including shipping.
