I don"to quite remember, but apparently I said to my mom that Santa has the same shoes as dad.

Yes I do, but now most of my work is with people in Europe, mostly Germany and Ukraine.

Yeah, that was the only new Christmas song I could come up with.

• Born in Poland to polish parents but German grandparents
• at 11 fled to Germany one month before the Berlin wall fell
• at 23 a girl in Sweden on ICQ uses its random function, we marry and I move to Sweden
• we divorce I stay in Sweden go to University at 30, everyone else is 22
• I graduate and work in automobile industry
• during covid I go on a 3 month business trip to korea and install tinder, because why not?
• I meet someone there, she is the CFO of a mid size company so I move to Korea
• at 45 I become a father and we marry

In between there are many more random thing, I play in a ska band and in a metal band, I brew beer, I make sausages, I help creating a free and open source conference, totally drunk I try cocaine which only makes me sober, I program a small game, I go to Hebron in Palestine and record a podcast, etc.

I copy and pasted it from above:

The HTS has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the United Nations. But the group said in recent years it cut ties with al-Qaida, and experts say HTS has sought to remake itself in recent years by focusing on promoting civilian government in their territory as well as military action.

You know there are several groups together overthrowing Assad, not only the SFA. Now that Assad is gone they will need to fight is out who will be the one leading.

What? I didn’t mention IS.

Assad is not a nice leader, that much is clear. Will a organization which has its origins in al-Qaida be a better leader for the people of Syria? I have my doubts.

I have a hetzner server where I host a bunch of services like CalDAV, mastodon, piefed, my rails website TT-RSS, firefox-sync, some PHP websites and some static websites, PeerTube.

And on top of it I subscribe to a object storage at Vultr.

Ah interesting to see where our Korea community is running on :D

My wife bought me a very expensive mechanical watch as a gift, which I myself would never even think of looking at in a shop. First I was like, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? I already have a smart watch!

But god damn it’s growing on me.

1. Because it’s such high quality it doesn’t scratch and looks absolutely stunning even after wearing it constantly for month. Normally I put scratch resistant stickers on it and stuff but they scratch everywhere they touch anything. This one nothing at all.
2. And this is so huge to me and I never realized it, I never have to charge it, it just always works. It glows in the dark a bit because of the fluorescent clock hands too.

I kid you not, this is so amazing, every time I want to know the time it just works for months without charging and it looks beautiful.

Yeah, that’s my luxury.

It’s funny, the slogan reminds me of communism “Women hold up half of the sky” and “Every woman a working woman”.

Wow that’s a extreme measure, but crazy times require crazy solutions.

Count all the cables!

You’re late to the party, the parliament already lifted it.

Jesus what a dramatic night. So what do we make of the whole situation?

Is South Korea under imminent threat of communism and North Korea taking over democracy?

Or did the Korean President just try to shake it up a bit so people leave his wife be?

Or something in between?

The universe does not revolve around trump. Korea seems to have it’s own asshole.

I just bought a random UPS at MediaMarkt back in the day in Poland and calculated that it would be able to power all the CCTV cams, the CCTV recorder, a raspberry pi and the modem which is connected to a long range WiFi antenna for at least half an hour. This worked very well for a couple of years until the battery gave up. The one I had had a ethernet port but I never bothered to set it up to send the signal.

Mine was running at my parents summer house in Poland while my parents live in Germany and I in Sweden and now in Korea, so if something breaks down it’s down for up to a year until someone goes there to fix it.

Right now everything is down, my dad was there a couple of month ago and said that a marten chew up the Ethernet cables. Sadly my dad couldn’t fix it so now I hope I will be able to get there during Christmas.

I think if anything then found the route of mbin would make sense in separating them but in the same ui. This is because they have different culture, but I am also only running a mastodon instance just to be able to follow and interact with a few people. If I could do that from PieFed, I’d be happy about it.

I like their UX, the button doesn’t say “Share screen” but “Make Selection”. On Element my dad every time has such a hard time to share the screen because even though he did it already a hundred times, he presses the share screen button and then waits, without choosing which window or screen to share.
