What You Hack Is What You Mean: My #TEI talk at #39C3 will elaborate on how to turn literature, research, and even hacker lore into machine-readable, remixable, and sustainable data by using the guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative. https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/de/event/detail/what-you-hack-is-what-you-mean-35-years-of-wiring-sense-into-text #DigitalHumanities #XML

#GrundlosGuteLaune LIVE aus Mainz - Heute ab 8 Uhr bei jedem Podcast Dealer!

@sonjalemke von Immobilien kenne ich das #Mietshäusersyndikat: https://www.syndikat.org/. Das Konzept müsste man mal für Glasfaser, Rechenzentren etc. ausprobieren.
Beim @battlemesh gab es schon spannende Projekte aus ganz Europa: https://guifi.net/ z.B. in Katalonien oder https://ffdn.org/ in Frankreich. In Deutschland gibt es z.B. die Evernet e.G. in Sundhausen, die drei Dörfer selber verglasfasert haben. Und #Freifunk oder #Funkfeuer darf man natürlich auch nicht vergessen.

Eine neue europäische Energiesystemstudie macht deutlich: Die politische gewollte Ausbremsung der Energiewende könnte die EU bis 2050 rund 1,6 Billionen € mehr kosten als ein konsequenter Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien.

Absurder Merz-Plan entlarvt: N...

One more thing:

If you ever plan on opening an old Mac, watch this 10 minute video first.

Agree.

Authors are not okay, folks. Between AI destroying the industry and wrecking people's careers, and the big spike in piracy since people decided the solution to boycotting Amazon is *stealing* from people who are literally making *pennies* (21 cents per day... that's what I made in book sales in 2025. I calculated it yesterday), we are not okay.

Please, please, please support authors. If you can buy books in places other than Amazon, please do so. If you can't buy books, please borrow them from your library. Request that your library pick up titles from your favourite authors (most libraries have form you can fill out to do that). Leave reviews everywhere you can. Sign up for author newsletters, and follow authors on social media. Repost social media content. Talk about your favourite books - help other people discover that they exist! All of these things *matter*, and you really have NO idea how much they mean to most authors.

I pulled all my e-books off Kindle yesterday because of this. It effectively ends my writing career because, despite everyone complaining that Amazon is evil... nobody buys books from the many other stores my books are available on.

I am sad. I am angry. I am *exhausted*.

I am ONE indie author. I am nobody. My protest is utterly meaningless in the face of this ever-expanding AI takeover. Unless all indies do this, and all tradpub authors pressure their publishers to fight Amazon, my pulling my books is not going to do a damned thing to make Amazon stop doing this. All it will do is end whatever tiny little chance I might still have had at having a real writing career.

But I am so sick of AI being shoved into every aspect of my life and not even having the right to opt out of it. This is the ONLY protest I CAN make. So that's what I'm doing. And at least I know they won't be able to use my books this way.

Given the current price of RAM, I’m sitting on an absolute gold mine with these chips.

Nerd Alert: There will be a #DigitalHumanities Assembly within the #BitsUndBaeume Habitat at #39C3. We named it #DHall: Digital Humanities For All. Some people are already putting meetups and workshops together. Let me know if you want to contribute, or just create a proposal and add it to DHall. Check out the announcement: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/de/assembly/detail/dhall

@VQuaschning ich verstehe nicht ganz, warum H2 so im Nachteil sein soll. Gerade wenn es auch dezentral zu Hause produziert und gespeichert werden könnte? Wäre das nicht eine praktische Alternative zum Soeichern von Energie, die auf einfache und bewähre Prinzipien beruht? Ich verstehe, dass ein industrielles Herstellen und Verteilen wie derzeit an Tankstellen und Verbrennern üblich nicht zielführend ist, aber ich zu Hause für mein Auto und meine Brennstoffzelle wenn die Sonne mal nicht scheint?

@Saorsa cool. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Won't change.

Diese Ausstattung gefällt mir! Gibt es Kapuze-am-Platz serienmäßig im ICE3neo? #reiseneinhorn

I think it is telling that we are about three years into the AI craze and, still, every single time someone says to me "I asked ChatGPT ___ " or "The chatbot told me ____" I know they are about to say something completed stupid and devoid of facts. Every single time.

I will also add that if any Jew-hating shits think this will dissuade us from celebrating, they are sadly mistaken.

Chag Hannukah Sameah, fuckers. 🕎✡️

As for many people, this time is a dark time of year for me, both literally & metaphorically, so this year, for a week each side of the solstice, I've decided to actively find the colour in my life.

I'm going to do this two ways:

1) I'm going to look out for pleasing sparks of colour and take photos of them to share.

2) An easy 90% of my wardrobe is black/grey, esp my daily-wear walking gear. I'm going to make an effort to wear brighter colours as much as possible.

Join me?

Das Transpi haben wir im Juni 2021 in Solidarität mit der jüdischen Gemeinde Dresden gemalt, als der Antisemitismus im Zuge der Corona-Pandemie stark zugenommen hatte. Heute haben wir es aufgehängt in Solidarität mit den Opfern des antisemitischen Terrorattentats in #Sydney und allen Jüdinnen:Juden.

We Jews can't even practice a fucking holiday about light and joy and celebration in peace. Fuck this shit.
