  • “Oven is going to be a grind, especially the first nine months or so. If work-life balance means a lot of time spent not working, it’s probably not a good fit.”

    Oh man, someone here recently shared a blog post on startup culture in software companies, which likened software to an oven, where you’d add a specific button for a customer and that fucks up your whole architecture for years to come etc…

    For just a moment, I thought this was a direct quote from that blog post.

    It did often feel like Nintendo specifically went for weird and quirky hardware to hinder emulation. The Wii had motion controls, the Wii U existed, and well, with the Switch, I’m sure their first-party titles still make use of things you can specifically do with the JoyCons…


  • A few years ago, we had school kids in the company for a week-long internship.
    And on one of those days, I was doing hardware tests for a software we wrote, and a colleague, who was taking care of one of the kids, he saw me and spontaneously asked, if I could explain to the kid what I’m doing.

    And the thing is, the colleague didn’t know me or my project, so he loved my infodump. He asked tons of clarifying questions, including questions that went way over the kid’s head.

    Meanwhile, the kid did not say a single word during my infodump. You could tell his mental capacity was reached long before we talked and then came my 20-minute-long deluge of information. I do hope that the kid took away at least an impression, but it just did not seem like my words even entered his ears.

    And yep, pretty much that look on his face. Like a deer staring into the headlights before it’s hit by a truckload of information.

    It’s mostly bitter with a slight hotness and a herbal touch. “Dry” is also a really good adjective for it IMHO.

    Source: I just ate half a teaspoon of turmeric. 10/10 would not recommend.

    I guess, I should also add that you really don’t need a lot of turmeric to color things yellow, so the flavor isn’t that big of a deal here.


  • Posteo is mostly just a deployment of RoundCube.

    Mind you, I do assume they have deployment scripts and code for handling payments and such, which aren’t open-source.

    I also have to say, though, a hosted service using open-source is *nice*, because they will hopeful contribute back to that, but it’s not much beyond that.
    You cannot know, whether they actually run the software that they publish in their repository, so auditing the open-source code hardly tells you anything about the trustworthiness of the actual service.




  • Yeah, we’re also still on 24.04. And from what I’ve seen, 26.04 will ship with Plasma 6.6, not 6.7.

    Maybe the kubuntu-backports repository can give it earlier than that, but yeah, I don’t even know yet, when we’ll upgrade to 26.04.
    Good point, though, about the .01 release. Maybe I’ll start bothering IT when that’s out.
