Hmmm, no luck with online check-in this time. Maybe I'm flying home tonight. Or maybe not.

First time in #Canada. First impression: The immigration officer was much friendlier than any US immigration officer I met in the past (even pre-Trump).

JD Vance dismissed France and the UK as "some random countries that haven't fought wars for 30-40." That will be news to the families of the 89 French soldiers and 457 British soldiers who died in Afghanistan after responding to the only time NATO Article 5 was ever invoked - by the United States.

Europe should consider sanctions against the US government and companies associated with their oligarchs. They're clearly in league with Russia when it comes to destabilizing Europe, European democracies, and the war on Ukraine. #depol #eupol #uspol

[USPol] Angry about replacing Brown with Caine? Remeber Stalin: Convinced they were plotting a coup, he had 30,000 members of the Red Army executed. Historians estimate that 81 of the 103 generals and admirals were executed. Brown has merely lost his job.

Den Brexit-Wählern wurde Wohlstand versprochen, sie haben ein Desaster bekommen. Den Trump-Wählern wurde Wohlstand versprochen, sie kriegen eine Diktatur und ein Desaster. Den AfD-Wählern wird auch Wohlstand versprochen. Ob sie die Lügen auch durchschauen, bevor sie uns das Desaster bescheren?

The lack of an algorithm sometimes makes me lose track of my timeline. And that’s okay. Because in return, as I scroll, I come across boosts and posts from people I don’t know. Real people - not bots, not paid influencers pushing a product. I see stunning photos taken by someone with just 10 […]

Soldering is easy, they said, especially soldering passive component. But I seem to be too ham-handed even for a 100K resistor.

In the interests of my resolution to not spread bad news, here's something positive - looks like the #Antarctic #OzoneHole is getting smaller. My ace colleagues @dmidk have a webpage they update regularly on this stuff: http://psc.dmi.dk/antarctica/

I have just reviewed https://github.com/ptesarik/libkdumpfile/issues/43 At this point, I believe there must be a decent way to generate HTML documentation _and_ man pages from comments in source code, it's just that Doxygen is not up for the job. Any suggestions? Can Sphinx do it out of the box […]

A use-after-free bug found thanks to @obshq 👍 Tests were failing only with Python 3.12 (no older nor newer versions) and only for a couple of architectures (both 32-bit), but the bug was always there, just masked by the Python garbage collector. Thankfully, OBS automatically builds my package […]

I hate libopcodes from binutils for requiring me to add an unknown set of additional libraries to the linker command line. I also hate GNU autotools for making it extremely difficult to write the automated checks. But nothing can stop a determined developer, even if it means writing a hundred […]
