No #TrailRunning this weekend, instead family time with #skiing in #Hochgurgl, about 1hr away from where we live 🏂 This winter hasn't seen much snow, but the temperatures are perfect to preserve the little snow that has fallen, so ideal conditions for […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Zelensky: "You are never alone, Dear President"

In Dutch, but translation works well. My call for the Dutch government to retain at least a core IT/communication/email/file capability that is independent of US clouds. Named after the iconic Radio Kootwijk which we built in response to the English cutting off our communications with Indonesia […]

If you want to learn how Chinese phishing or "smishing" groups are turning phished card data into mobile wallets, check out today's story. The innovation coming out of these groups is remarkable, and includes mobile apps that let thieves relay "ghost tap" […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

The time to #standupforscience is now. Thanks for the initiative @scurry.bsky.social! #science #academicSky

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website. This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions. https://floor796.com I don't […]

When I started my "mastodon-experiment" I always heard "there's hardly anyone there", "noone knows it" ... Almost 2 years later I'm spending a considerable amount of time here with you and I enjoy it WAYS MORE than on any other platform before. Thanks all of you for being here. And welcome to […]

Is there any #fediverse alternative to #LinkedIn? The use case I'm interested in is from hiring manager perspective. How can you find people, who are open to work and have the skills you are looking for? Searching via #FediHire can be time consuming.

As part of the standardization of our network infrastructure to #MikroTik #RouterOS devices and the integration into #GitOps I was looking for a way to automatically scan RouterOS configurations for #security issues. And this is where “Sara: RouterOS Security Inspector” by @casterbyte comes in […]

Given that more outdoor people here in my TL use #Garmin watches, maybe this is relevant to your interests: https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB

A little skitour up the Roßkopf in Niederau near the #WilderKaiser with a friend of mine in perfect weather. Lovely views from about 1800m. This was only my second skitour this year, so despite my extensive #TrailRunning, I felt it in my thighs. But no gain […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]

My #Garmin Forerunner 955 has just been bitten by a broken firmware update, rendering it stuck in a boot loop. As far as I know this is a widespread problem, and the only solution seems to be a factory reset and a manual removal of the bad firmware file […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]

I have to admit that working on the IT backbone of our company isn't exactly the most relaxing thing, but what wouldn't you do to finally convert the entire IT infrastructure to #GitOps. No more guessing about why and when someone made a change in that wonderful UI of a switch, just pure code […]

It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. 🪶 #bluesky #photography #landscape #birds #nature […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

A lot of new arrivals to mastodon this weekend. I recommend checking out #introduction sometime today, and following and boosting new people with shared interests, to help them connect.

We received a lot of strong applications for our Senior Front-end role at @Mastodon, but @inga_nomads and I would like to see more diverse candidates in our initial pool. Do you know of any communities (forum, Slack, Discord, newsletter…) with a diverse audience and a focus on front-end […]

Consider this: The #EU has just won 2 court cases against big tech. Yet these do not get continuous MSM attention. The USA banning #TikTok is wall-to-wall even here in Europe. We need to celebrate our wins more, not obsess about USA (frankly) incompetence. "**the European Court of Justice gave […]

A late afternoon 12km trail run at about -11C. We had a lot more snow, but a few days ago the usual warm "Fön" wind with gusts of more than 100 km/h literally blew it away. At the moment it's just cold, very cold, and it can be quite difficult and even […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]

Playing #Tetris (and #DOOM!!) in a #PDF, who would have thought this was possible!! https://th0mas.nl/downloads/pdftris.pdf https://th0mas.nl/2025/01/12/tetris-in-a-pdf/

The good news is… there’s mountains. And really long ski lines with great snow all the way down. #backcountry #skiing #mountains

The futuristic building of the Champalimaud Foundation/Fundação Champalimaud in Lisbon seen from the seaside. It is bordered on the left by the leaning harbor control tower, the Torre VTS de Algés. Both are masterpieces of contemporary architecture […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]

It was -35C (-40 with windchill, apparently) this morning in my part of Saskatchewan. Since tomorrow is perihelion (Earth's closest approach to the Sun), it's a great time to remind everyone that seasons are caused by Earth's tilted spin axis, not by […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

It never ceases to amaze me what the human body is capable of .... a #marathon every single day of the year, totaling more than 15000 km in 2024, is simply mind blowing and incredible!!! Belgian ultra runner Hilde Dosogne did just that and broke the previous record of 150 days, but read for […]

It's almost the end of 2024 and like many others I am curious how many kms my old feet were able to run. My idea for 2024 was to increase both distance and elevation by 10% and that appears to have worked: 2023: 1511 km and 38989m elevation gain 2024: 1678 […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]

My end of year #running event will be the São Silvestre de Lisboa run, where I'm spending New Year's Eve with my family. It's a more or less flat course, which is why I'm tempted to see if I can set a new PR for this 10km. The event doesn't start until 9 […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]

How bad it is when you visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site and after walking around for a while you know you've seen this place before. At the end of the corridor is this little chapel where the monks used to meet for morning prayers, and the door on the right […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]

A question for #mastodev / #mastoadmin / #selfhost (please boost for reach if you don’t know the answer). My instance seems to be making an excessive number of S3 API calls & I’m trying to trace the cause, focusing on tootctl for the moment. Naïvely looking at the code, am I right in thinking […]

Merry #Christmas, a happy #Yule, a beautiful #WinterSolstice or just a good time!!! The time around Winter Solstice is special to many cultures, and there are a lot of old stories. My favorite is the story of the Child of Light, who is born every year on the […] [Original post on sigmoid.social]
