A couple things I saw and thought "Mastodon will love this":

- Alias, a 3D-printed "parasite" that sits on top of your Amazon Echo or Google Home, feeding white noise into its mic until you say the wake word: http://bjoernkarmann.dk/project_alias

- The adminbook, a wonderfully ugly design for the ideal sysadmin notebook: https://m.habr.com/en/post/437912/

So in two weeks time there‘ll be another round of my #comics workshop in #Berlin.
It‘s unique in that it‘s not a basic course but an advanced project mentoring for everything you ever wanted to start/finish.
I already have enough attendees, but hey, we‘ll have comics phenomenon Ulli Lust talking about her creative process, we‘ll be printing an anthology and presenting it at this year‘s #ComicInvasion festival.
DM me for details if you're interested.

Also, heute 19 Uhr Offener Abend FLITtchenkneipe #Hamburg mit Infos zu #Freifunk! https://flittchenkneipeblog.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/offener-abend-im-februar/ FLTI only!

I feel weird asking for financial support for my bit of music-making, writing and writing about music. On the other hand, we're still in a bit of a financial pinch - no thanks to the still ongoing marriage recognition saga (thus no sposal tax benefits) and me having had a bad year businesswise in 2018. And I feel much better about asking for a tip for my creations than just straight up asking for money.

So I'm trying this ko-fi thing: http://ko-fi.com/modern_dragon

Gardener surveyed 1400 women in IT in 2014: “What surprised me was that they felt, ‘I did all that work!’ They were angry. It wasn’t like they needed a helping hand or needed a little extra coaching. They were mad. They were not leaving because they couldn’t hack it. They were leaving because they were skilled professionals who had skills that were broadly in demand in the marketplace, and they had other options. So they’re like, ‘[expletive] it — I’ll go somewhere where I’m seen as valuable.’ ”

One wolf in the pack would not howl. The other wolves urged him to try, saying he would soon learn.
"I'm sure," he said, "but it's not that I can't. I just don't want to."
"But the pack howls," they said.
"I don't," he said.
"Then, can you do the silence in between?"

Liebe Tootle, welche Android App benutzt ihr für #Pixelfed?

/

Dear Tootle, which Android app do you use for pixelfed?

Ich werd dann wohl demnächst Trainer für unsere Trainees.
Grundlagen Netze und Security (Crypto).
Also einerseits Architektur, Protokolle, Anwendungen für Netze, andererseits primär symmetr. vs asymmetr. Crypto, Zertifikate, PKI, etc pp.

Da wir auch einige Quereinsteiger-Trainees haben wirklich Grundlagen

Frage besonders an meine non-IT TL:
* was würdet ihr euch von so einem Kurs erhoffen?
* was sollte auf jeden Fall rein

(und wie zur Hölle erschlag ich die Leute nicht direkt mit Techfoo...)

"I hunger," the vampire said.
"Again? I haven't recovered from your last meal."
"It is my nature."
"It's your nature to be dramatic. Besides, why blood?"
"It is alive. It is life force that nurtures me."
"That's it? Let me introduce you to yoghurt, and sourdough bread, and beer."
