@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange should have gone for ‘schmetterling’ IMO. Missed opportunity.

Sunday was the first time I went #climbing on actual rock since my knee operation 4 months ago. Only very easy grades (5a or lower), only toprope, but I had a blast. The weather was great, I climbed with nice people and I was really happy to be there again. Still some way to go, but it's a step by step process.

@Stratski@mendeddrum.org When I was little I loved to sit at the kitchen table, watching my mom mending clothes with her sewing machine. Your photo series brought that all back.
Thank you for refreshing that memory. It's a dear one.

@sundogplanets Thx for the diagram! I find most of the paths very logical and obvious. But that last 'did you ask' box before you get to 'not mansplaining' is a bit of an eye opener.
How should we phrase that question though? I'm afraid that 'would you like me to explain that?' would be really condescending :^].
Belgian peeps: The Zone of Interest (2023, Jonathan Glazer) can now be streamed for free on VRT Max.
This is a masterpiece. Among the best movies I've ever seen. Go watch it. It's available until May 25.

@benroyce@mastodon.social Great! Next time I'm doing a recipe that says to scoop out the inner watery part of a cucumber, I'm bringing the lathe to the kitchen. It won't be weird at all.
RIP #MartinParr . He was a groundbreaking genius. #Photography

@vicgrinberg Oh, you have those as well? As cute as they look, they're noisy, aggressive little bastards. Even the magpies, who used to run the neighborhood, are afraid of them.

@jurjen_heeck (Lang geleden) had ik een prof die ons ingenieurs smeekte om in de politiek te gaan en het beleid niet alleen maar aan de juristen over te laten. Hij had wel gelijk eigenlijk.
#Cheese anxiety: when the Parmigiano Reggiano stock in the shop is too low for comfort and you buy an extra block "just in case". 😅
@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @peturdainn@mastodon.social @pixiesnoot@transfem.social Seconded! It's not really my prime interest, but the little backstories are nice to read.

@ErgonWolf @operand @mhoye You're totally right when you talk about modern tapes. I explicitely wrote 'old tapes' to refer to the original quote made by Andrew Tanenbaum in the early 1980's.

@a@fedi.lawngno.me The ultimate Linux system will be a kernel, systemd and then ffpmeg. Nothing more...
Lynne Ramsay's 'Die My Love' finally got a theatrical release in Belgium.
I saw it yesterday. It's not an easy, comfortable view. But neither were here previous films 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' and 'You Were Never Really Here'. It is equally gripping though and I'm sure it will be stuck in my mind for quite some time. And excellent acting performances by Jennifer Lawrence and Sissey Spacek.
Go watch it if you can. Recommended!

@lieter@mastodon.lieter.nl @habbie@fosstodon.org Will you locate the room by its name or by its GPS coordinates?

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange I'd say the latter is bad partner news. But perhaps my priorities are a bit odd...

@ErgonWolf @mhoye Eh... a cat running off with a modern SD card in its mouth has a higher bandwidth than a station wagon filled with old tapes.
