Nach BSW-Sondersitzung in Thüringen: Katja Wolf will „sehr klare“ Position zu Krieg und Frieden
  • Was hat Landespolitik mit Außenpolitik zu tun? Wenn die BSW so wenig kompromissbereit ist dann sollen die halt in die Opposition gehen.

    Elon Musk Suddenly Realizes That Teslas With "Self-Driving" Computers May Never Be Able to Actually Self-Drive
  • Just recently saw a video of an experimental self driving vehicle from Bosch - from the 90's!

    You could imagine we'd be much further now, considering how far computing power, computer vision and AI have come.

    OSS Read-it-Later service Omnivore sells out to AI startup ElevenLabs
  • If you're into self-hosting there's Wallabag, but it's not half as slick as Omnivore.

  • I've been a big fan of the slick interface of Omnivore. It could process web sites, email newsletters and RSS feeds.

    The users have just been informed that Omnivore has "joined" the AI startup Eleven Labs. It may be bitter how OSS projects are being sucked up by AI, but that alone sounds innocuous enough.

    What is upsetting is that the users have only until the 15.11 to export their data, after which the service will be deactivated. The export format is only usable with Eleven Labs, and exports for Pocket, Instapaper, etc are not offered, which I find just insulting.

    Stewards reject McLaren's request to review Norris' United States GP penalty
  • The current rules are just a complete and utter disaster. Instead of leaving a car's width, it's the car ahead at the apex that gets the corner.

    The main problem is that there is no clear idea where exactly the apex is, and which line to draw from that apex. And then you get different rulings for similar actions. See for example Piastri, who got 5 seconds for forcing Gasly off track.

    I hate the whole situation. The only way to overtake Verstappen is to not be near him, because he understands the rules best and uses them to his advantage. It's been like this for years and it's toxic for good racing.

    My new specs
  • Actually, there is a company that makes resin printed children's glasses for about €200 a pop. My son tried them at the opticians and I was impressed by the finish and flexibility. Just to say that 3d printed glasses are really commercially viable.

    Tesla's Robotaxi Event Promised Utopia. It Was Still A Letdown
  • I had to check Wikipedia to be sure. OK, the S got updated motors or restyled taillights, but they're all externally indistinguishable for the non Tesla nerd. Look at how the Corvette and Mustang changed over the years, or the F-Series trucks. They went with the zeitgeist, and the S is still visually stuck in 2012.

    Tesla's Robotaxi Event Promised Utopia. It Was Still A Letdown
  • What I don't get about Tesla is: when will they ever update their existing vehicles, like every other car company does? The Model S has been around for over ten years. Aren't they planning an S2? Or this all the RnD they have?

  • I've been considering getting refills to reduce my plastic consumption, which means I would have to print master spools with PLA or PETG.

    Because I don't consume my filament quickly enough, I got the Sunlu S2 filament dryer, which heats up the filament to 50-60C.

    My question is: would it be OK to put a master spool in the dryer, or could it potentially deform?

    Just found out that polarized sunglasses and helmet visors are a bad combination. I was greeted with a whole new colorful world!

    Seriously, it almost made me nauseous.

    A few weeks ago I discovered a canister of gas, about half a year old from another project. I did notice it smelled a bit weird, but the smell didn't register enough to keep me from topping off the tank with it.

    After that, I had business about 550km away and thought it a perfect opportunity to take a ride. After not even 100km, the motor started stuttering, warning lights flashed and then it cut off completely. There was a gas station close by, so I stuttered my way over and filled up again. The whole trip took way longer than planned, because the motor would start stuttering again after less than half a tank and I would have to fill up again.

    Arriving, the motor would die under 2000rpm, so I had to keep it at least at 4000. The backfiring didn't help my mood much either.

    On the way back, the bike was much better behaved, and I hoped that it finally burned through all the bad gas. Relief! Thought I'd treat it with some additive to hopefully clean out the fuel system. But then the stuttering came back - so bad it was obvious the only trip for me would be to the dealer.

    So now I'm anxious to see how high the price for my stupidity will be. And I swear in future my bike will only get the best super plus!

    No big news, just stumbled on the website of Fedora Workstation and did a double take on the laptop pictured. Sure looks like the Framework!

    Pretty much the title. I'm not a regular on Discord and the website doesn't have any info about a release plan.

    I've been using a rebranded Flashforge Adventurer 3 (it's actually a Bresser Rex that I got 50% off at Aldi) and have been really happy with it. The build volume is a bit smallish, but for most of what I'm doing it's fine.

    So today I boot it up and after a while, it just hangs after a minute or so. I switched it on and off, did a factory reset, tried disconnecting mains for a while, nothing helped. Also checked my DNS blocker to see if some internet requests were getting blocked.

    But what did work - weirdly enough - was to deactivate wireless. It's a small nuisance copying files over via USB, but one I can live with. At least I can continue printing!

    Got this as my first jacket and have been using it in the heat, in rain and in freezing weather. It really is the one jacket for all situations.

    The only thing that bothers me is that the shop where I got it only had it in black. The other colorways look a lot better!

    Just this weekend I got my first bike - a Honda XL750 Transalp. Winter is coming where I live, so when I saw a blue sky, dry roads and temperatures just over 0, I thought I could have a little ride. But that wasn't the stupid, even though I forgot the keys after being completely suited up with thin jogging gloves and winter gloves.

    There wasn't any stupid during the ride, although I forgot the keys again after putting on the two pairs of gloves after a little break. Or that I kept hitting the hazard lights by accident, or the high beams.

    The stupid was when I got back and rolled into the driveway. I wanted to slowly roll in and park in front of the wall of the garage. Had the clutch pulled and apparently twisted my wrist to get my thumb on the kill switch. The motor revved up so loud it scared the whole family out the house and onto the porch, where they witnessed me rolling towards the wall, bumping into it because I was so startled I didn't remember to apply the brake and me falling very, very slowly and gently (almost with a certain grace, I hope) to the side.

    As far as I could see, there's only a few scratches on the bar end and the peg. Whew! But, I was told I bumped hard enough that the rear wheel lifted into the air! Hope that the fork and frame are ok!

    Was a real downer after the nice ride, but I guess it's true what I heard, that all riders fall at least once!

    My father was a rider, and in later years he often tried to convince me to take up the hobby. The kids were little and money was tight, so I had to say no. But every now and then I would look up bikes on the internet and dreamt a little how it would be.

    After finally getting the seal of approval from my wife, I got a course this fall. The driving instructor looks like a homeless Santa with half a mouth of teeth - but he used to do track days and enduro trips through the alps, so he knows his stuff. I looked forward to every session and really had fun, even when I got drenched in rain. And now my exam is tomorrow, and I'm super anxious and excited, maybe even a little terrified. A little bit because of the exam, but more so because of what comes afterward!

    Selfhosting searxng and can't get Opensearch to work

    I've seen that searxng has been recommended here, and after trying it out I was so impressed that I spun up a docker container on my Unraid box. Opensearch works fine with public instances, but I can't get it to work with my container. I'm using the official docker image. Is there something I should watch out for?

    I set the instance name, and passed environment variables with SEARXNG_URL and SEARXNG_BIND_ADDRESS.

    Mein Schwiegervater ist recht sportbegeistert - zumindest, wenn es um das Schauen geht. Kürzlich habe ich mitbekommen, dass er auch zu Baseballspiele geht. Da ich auch mal in der Schule Baseball gespielt habe und es eigentlich ganz cool fand, bin ich mal mit.

    Und da habe ich gelernt, dass unsere Stadt eine Bundesliga-Mannschaft hat, die sogar 2 Mal Meister war. Was die Zuschauerzahl betrifft, erübrigt sich ein Vergleich zu Fußball ganz klar. Allerdings hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass Bundesligaspiele bei Damenvolleyball sogar viel größer sind. Erster Eindruck: es ist mehr los an einem Fussballspielfest mit unserem Kleinen.

    Es waren vielleicht 300 Leute da. Die gegnerische Mannschaft hat den Parkplatz mit ihren Wohnwagen zugestellt. Es gab Fritten und Würstchen, und ein Stand mit Kaffee und Kuchen (bestimmt von den Vereinsmitgliedern gespendet).

    Aber ganz ehrlich? Alles völlig egal! Ich will nicht sagen es waren entschleunigende drei Stunden, aber Baseball ist schon eine recht gemütliche Sportart. Den Abend habe ich genossen, und würde es gerne wiederholen.

    Jetzt aber zur eigentlichen Frage: welche Randsportarten habt ihr kennengelernt oder frönt ihr aktiv?
