 I somehow still haven't met a single person who schedules their OoO replies correctly. They should start after your last day at the office before leave, and they should end after your last "presumed" day at the office before returning. So, if you booked your leave from Monday, the automatic replies should start on Friday evening already. And, if you'll be back in the office on Monday, the replies should stop on Friday evening before that.

 @nikitonsky Remember that the proud version needs a special release date, too! I am having one tomorrow.   Nutshell history of software version numbering format: a.b.c.d a : major/proud release (Note that Windows 3.11 was released before a second decimal point had been invented.) Remember when computers used to just do what you told them to and not actively try to prevent you from doing it or try to make you do something else instead? We’ve lost so much agency over our technology along the way.  @tuomas_h after more than 30 years in a technology-focused career, as I near retirement I will be spending increasing effort to make my computer experience more like you describe. No autocomplete, no “by the way”, no training wheels, and by Zeus, no “AI”. I see much retro computing ahead. Hey @tobide, I’ve just noticed that the “htmx support in pycharm” post has disappeared from your blog. Was this intentional, or was it an accident during the Coltrane update? https://github.com/Tobi-De/pw/commit/1fe3e5267b41be8f2cb8e13cad7565cfac32b945#diff-1502a31a0b43c63d4a79b84317d6acdf3a23a5a1b8b78d6fb3fb773e957e2c34  @kytta actually it did not disappeared, the title changed https://oluwatobi.dev/blog/maximizing-productivity-pycharm-and-htmx-integration/ Kann mir jemand erklären, wie ICE-Fahrpläne funktionieren? Ich wollte gucken, wie man nach Brüssel kommt. Das Fahrplan 2024 (Stand 11/2023) von DB-Webseite zeigt ICE-Linie 79 zwischen FFM und BRU. Das Gleiche sagt auch die Wikipedia-Seite mit der Liste der ICEs. Nun, wenn ich auf bahn.expert gucke, ist ICE 79 plötzlich eine Linie zwischen HH und Zürich? Und egal wie ich suche, finde ich online gar keine Erwähnung von der Linie 79, weder damals noch jetzt. Ist die FFM-BRU Verbindung verschwunden? Nun klar, bahn.expert und Co. haben hier recht, denn sie zeigen ja letztendlich das, was tatsächlich fährt. Und der Fahrplan 2024 ist mittlerweile auch veraltet; ich finde aber nicht den neuen. Und, wie gesagt, ich finde gar keine Erwähnung, dass es ICE 79 FFM—BRU jemals gab. Bin nur verwirrt.  I have a #backup question: How do you manage file-based app backups? For example, my TOTP app makes a backup now and then. Each backup is a JSON file with the current date in the name. The folder gets sync'ed to my PC via #Syncthing and backed up from there via #restic. But, does it make sense to keep all files in the folder? Restic already takes care of file history, so maybe I should keep one file and override it? Or make a script that deletes old copies?   I often read that Mastodon is too complicated for “normal” people. I’m curious: How tech savvy do you consider yourself to be? I’d especially love to hear from #1 people. My list of upcoming Mastodon improvements: https://2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-weaknesses.html :mastodon: Boosts appreciated, to get as varied a sample as possible! UPDATE: So much great feedback.

 @rauschma No 1 is such a wide range that one can't answer that in a meaningful way. I am clearly not No 2 or 3, but I still find it easier to deal with technology than many others.  People are praising #Bluesky for being like ‘#Twitter, but before it got bad’. I was a big fan of Twitter back in 2017–2021, so I was eager to try it out. I mean, if it’s like that, plus decentralized, plus open-source, plus moderated — what else to wish for? But it (still) didn’t click with me. The feed, even though it’s mostly folks I also read here, is more boring. ‘Discover’ is also not working for me. And at first, I thought that the old-Twitter comparison was false. But it’s not! What I failed to remember was that I left Twitter for Mastodon *before* the former got bought and made bad. So, Bluesky would probably be a good choice for 2017–2021 me, but not for the current me. And that’s totally fine. Bluesky is not an enemy, it’s just an alternative, which creates healthy competition on the ‘federated and/or decentralized social networks’ market. If you like it, use it. If not, then not 🤷♂️ Oh boy. I had clicked off MKBHD's latest video a minute in since I realized it was full sponsored and just hitting DJI talking points. But doing driving reckless for a short clip in a video is always wrong. Don't drive 60 over the limit. Not ever, esp for content.

 @geerlingguy it’s been a while since I’ve seen any of his videos but what happened to him? This and that wallpaper app thing is not doing his name any good…  @geerlingguy 96 mph in a 35 is almost 3x the speed limit! At least that's where the video cuts, maybe he went even faster.. The wallpaper fiasco was bad enough, but this even surprised me.  @geerlingguy I'm not watching his videos anymore and encourage others to do the same. This also goes for *anyone* putting other people in potential danger as a stunt to get more views. Fedi (as all Social Media) are borderline unusable right now. That’s why you should only follow me, as I will only post cursed tech stuff and German memes. Bear in mind, this only hides, like, 50% of posts I'd like to be hidden. Images without captions or alt text, posts without CW and without explicitly saying anything political. I was thinking of blocking the words "terrifying", "wtf", "wrong", "call", but then I won't be able to read anything :/ @kytta I've done this for the entire 2024, for all of my Fedi accounts. I'm only on Fedi to follow creators not to argue about politics of a foreign nation with randoms online XD. if your free software relies on google play integrity, it's not actually free |

If a person writes you on Sunday before you come back, they don't need an auto reply, because they either do not expect you to read their message before Monday anyway, or they're a moron and thus do not matter :blobcattilt:
