@binsrc who doesn't with all the "fun" festivities one is supposed to attend 😬

@freemo @namark but isn't that part of the point with engineers vs. scientists? in germany there is a difference in university for scientists and "university of applied sciences" for engineers. and to be honest, i wouldn't want scientists to build bridges etc. 😉 engineers seem to have a bit broader knowledge, but not as deep as scientists, which prepares them better for real life building things. scientists are specialized and advance their respective fields, while engineers think of ways to combine these things then.

@freemo @namark ah, i've missed something, apparently :)

@namark it's almost like cyber security!

@IntegralDuChemin die wirtschaft lebt doch von den kumpeldeals. im kleinen dann eben der kumpel vom bürgermeister oder ähnlichem 😶

@parasurv@mstdn.io nice, i like wide monospace fonts. they are somehow easier to read for me the more square they are :)

maybe you like profont: https://tobiasjung.name/profont/

@soundofsun i'm no expert, but maybe the light flickers because it uses a different rectifying circuit?

one thing i miss with modern thinkpads: blinkenlights

@cassidyjames i guess the software interoperability problems are more on the side of twitter.

@lupyuen the hype around rust really turned me off. on the other hand, i like your posts about embedded development with rust, which is a good fit for the language, imho.
i guess it's all about using the right tool for the problem at hand :)

sidenote: i think the real problem is that using multiple languages together is harder than it should be. why not mix-and-match languages, using them where they are best.

@parasurv@mstdn.io isn't that kind of the point of tor? i guess the only way with tor is blocking inside the browser. or completely blocking tor traffic :P

@feld thanks!

@feld what's the name? sounds like perfect for 2020.

@namark i was thinking more about people in general, with the "REPORTED&BLOCKED&CANCELED" behaviour just being a symptom of it. it feels like that there us no centre anymore, only extremes who won't talk to each other and one (perceived) misstep will lead to dire consequences.

is there any open source video conference tool like jitsi, but not using the rube-goldberg setup that webrtc is?
from what i've read, webrtc kind of requires the worst type of NAT to be working reliably (UDP hole punching doesn't work with symmetric NAT, as i have experienced)

something like mumble with a central server muxing the streams would be nice.
