Falls ihr es noch nicht auf dem Schirm habt: In drei Wochen gibt es eine totale Mondfinsternis.

Der Vollmond wird während der Totalität aufgehen und dann so ab 21 Uhr wieder aus dem Erdschatten wandern, während er am Himmel höher steigt. Ganz in der Nähe ist dann der Saturn zu sehen

Hier ein mit Stellarium simulierter Anblick für den 7. September um 21 Uhr.

Erneut Feuertornado in Portugal

In Portugal gibt es erneut Berichte wie auch Videos von einem gefährlichen Feuertornado. Dieser bildet sich nur unter extrem heißen Bedingungen durch warme Winde. Portugal kämpft seit Tagen gegen zahlreiche Waldbrände und hat bereits Hilfe in der EU dafür angefordert und erhalten. Bekannt wurde, dass am Freitag ein Mensch bei den Flammen ums Leben gekommen […]

Many Linux users have recently reported their fans running at full speed and high temperatures. They discovered that Firefox was consuming all CPU cores, and it turns out that the cause was Firefox's new default AI features. This is how you ruin your product 😅 https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/13/firefox_ai_scoffing_power/

#Überholabstand zum #Fahrrad

Seit 1. Oktober 2022 ist (in Österreich) in der #StVO der Überholabstand von Kraftfahrzeugen zu Radfahrern geregelt. Ein Jahr darauf hat eine Umfrage des Kuratoriums für Verkehrssicherheit gezeigt: 73 % der #Kfz hielten beim Überholen von Fahrrädern im Ortsgebiet den vorgeschriebenen Seitenabstand nicht ein.

Jede PolitikerIn, die den Klimaschutz boykottiert, sollte auf jegliche Klimaanlage verzichten müssen.

Immer. Überall.

Btw, I also love my #nextcloud, because I don't need to worry about losing data while installing, reinstalling and breaking OSes.
One sync of data and one sync of my bookmarks, and everything is back to normal. 🩶

Stupidly, a few days ago I wanted to play diablo, and the battle net launcher wouldn't install.

So I went back to #Nobara. ... where the installation also broke. Back to #Mint... same there.
So after a night of frantically installing several different OSes only to go back to what I had the day before...

Still like #tuxedoos

A year ago, the motherboard inside my desktop pc melted. It was my only windows device, it was win10, and I already knew win11 was out of the question.

I'd had dualboot with linux #mint for a while, and liked it. (And still do.)
So at first, my new desktop had mint.

But I am not one to settle if there is choice out there. All my games have the first few hours played through a million times with all class/race/whatever combo, but very few I ever finished. 😅

I learned quickly that I wanted #kde, as it worked very nicely with my gaming. And I like its apps.

So I meandered through #Mint and #Debian with KDE, and #popos, and #openSuse, and #Nobara, and #fedora, and finally decided I really wanted a Debian based distro. I have the most experience there, and a lot of software, if there is a Linux version, only has deb. (Yes, I know of #flathub. Flathub is great. But Humble Bundle stuff is not on flathub.)

And while bouncing between distros, (and airing my undecidedness on fedi,) someone told me of #tuxedoos.

Which took me a bit to warm up to, even though it is _exactly_ what I was asking for.
No, no idea why.

But I've had it for a few months now. It's great. 🩶

Na, dann teilen wir es mal.

@Transbian_Arsonists Or even…

This is the definition of "uterus" as appears at the top of a Google search when you're looking to find the meaning of the word.

...and it contains a MAJOR factual inaccuracy. Let's explain exactly what is so wrong here.

"As of July 2025, child marriage is legal in 34 states" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States) of the US but they are trying to ban gay marriage. It's not about the children, it never was, it never will be and it won't stop there.

I'm on the server floor of a "highly secure data center with 24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security".

An actual duck just walked by. 🦆

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

Let 2025 be the year for us that this change
