  • I confirm. German firefighters once the fire is out, take the EV and put into a container full of water for about two days so all the energy is slowly going down.

  • The Guardian for international news because they are cool with not doing a paywall anywhere. They encourage to pay only.

    Wyborcza to stay more or less updated with my old country.

    For real time opinions I never ever go to X. Mastodon starts to be a good replacement and for something really hot that’s also hot in Europe, my mastodon search engine (https://masto.kukei.eu/) sometimes does the job, although it’s still immature and often searches nothing due to the nature of mastodon.

    If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once?

    How does it work that we eat few times a day, but usually we poop only once?

    Is the colon somehow programmed to buffer the waste until the time is up and then dumps it all further?

    Got this thought when observing my dog who eats twice a day (morning and evening) and more or less poops twice a day (morning and evening).

    Power units

    How come Americans use penguins or school buses for measuring length and distance but still use kilowatt for power and not let’s say thrown stone per mile?

    Accidental birth in a non Schengen country. What next?

    I’m on vacation in Türkiya and wonder: what happens when let’s say a pregnant woman goes on vacation and for whatever reason gives birth there.

    How can she take the newborn back to her country? Need to prepare all the papers in the embassy or there’s some special procedure for such cases so the paper work can be done in a country she resides normally?

    Mastodon cross instances real-time search

    One thing I miss from Twitter that Mastodon has only partially is to be able to search through the network for some keywords, like breaking news, events, and so on, so I can see other people takes on that.

    So I made a small project that aims to fill this gap.

    I've seen some previous attempts that made many people upset, I hope this time nobody will take their forks and pitches to burn me as it's:

    • calling mastodon instances public local timelines via their API
    • takes only posts that are made by accounts that OPT-IN to being indexed (there's noindex flag that I honor)
    • keeps the posts in database for a short time (currently one hour) to avoid abuse and also to lower costs of running it

    It gives me a lot of fun and for me it's quite useful, so I guess someone might find it useful as well.

    Also, it's open source, but GPL license so it stays FOSS forever.

    Happy to take any feedback, also happy to add some instances that are not yet being listened to. It turns out opt-in people are

    I'm creating a curated search engine for web developers. Asking for a feedback

    So, in the era of increasingly good AI powered tools and general search engines full of SEO spam, last week I started creating something little old school and against the trends.

    For now It's a have-fun-and-find-out project that main aim is to provide good search results for general web development queries with a special focus on independent blog authors.

    The thesis is that no SEO spam website is in the index, which will already filter out most annoying noise on Google/Bing.

    Search results are grouped per type: docs, blogs and magazines (e.g. blog platforms or bigger websites).

    For now it's far from being done in terms of having a full index, but in most cases it already replaces my go-to search engine when I'm looking up some stuff during work.

    I'm looking forward hearing out what y'all think and if you think it makes sense overall I can only encourage you to post some links to blogs or docs that are still missing in the index. I'm more than happy to add it to the crawler.

    Itiwit 200 + Challenger on river Lahn, Hessen, Germany

    Lahn is perfect for kayaking. Well maintained infrastructure, amateur friendly and god those views are amazing.

    Unfortunately our initial 2-day-trip plan converted into one day due to weather collapse but was still fun.
