Last Notes npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…ynd9 this is exactly how I felt in Belgium for two years. Then I went on to rank potential cities across various criteria to find one to move to... but got offered a job in Paris npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…lxup aren't they building the missing tracks for the CDG Express, around porte de la chapelle? npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…lxup I could have hosted you in Paris! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia I'm still obsessed with the idea of finding a #map designed for humans instead of cars. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…lxup Sportpulsion has a terrible customer service, I don't understand how Ortlieb keeps relying on them npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Updated to #fedora43 and #kde plasma 6.5. As always, the process is smooth, fast, well-documented. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj @nprofile…0n4t if the last update is this one https://matrix.org/blog/2024/09/whatsapp-dma/ then the DMA failed: WhatsApp is imposing crazy terms that cannot be fulfilled by Matrix npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Advertising in WhatsApp? Thankfully, the DMA allows interoperability and I can just use another app! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…pw7h I saw some tits in a film once, is Netflix a porn platform too? npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…28kc let's hope CoMaps will gather enough contributors. Such a split benefits no one, that's sure. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia What a mess, Organic Maps has been forked. FOSS often has governance issues. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Happy to be back in France, where I get misgendered at least twice a day npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Good news: new job! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia #Komoot has been bought by Bending Spoons, which are champions of enshittification. Delete your accounts, send GDPR requests, and let's look for #FOSS alternatives. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia The "i'm so tired" software licence is great: npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia With @nprofile…vpga we are reaching out to #digitalrights organisations and groups from Central and Eastern Europe, with the goal of having them at our next conference. Who should we contact? Boosts are appreciated! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Government requests Apple quickly complies with: npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia My "I love Free Software day" valentines are: npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj è anche su osm!! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia The new Belgian government wants to implement a Takt system apparently! Here's an excerpt from the coalition agreement #bepol #trains npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia #selfhosting folx: how much of a bad idea is to expose Nextcloud (on my NAS at home) over the internet? npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia I finally discovered a good solution for a shared shopping list with my wife: @nprofile…g4yp. Free, encrypted, simple. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj my first home NAS used to have an UPS, that was a great thing. Now I just have to trust the Belgian electricity grid... npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Me: yay I managed to set up a home server with nextcloud! Bye bye proprietary solutions! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia I might have persuaded my wife to join Mastodon, but she's looking for a feminist instance, hosted in the EU. Any ideas? Boost is welcome :fedi: npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia "Why are trains so expensive? Because SNCF is evil!" @nprofile…c5n8 npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj that's why I have a battle thinkpad ✨ (jk I did it with the framework too and my current setup is half-assed) npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj distrohopping is fun and frustrating. Fedora's major problem is that it works way too well for me to change (at least Kinoite does) npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…2t6j that's fast! Meanwhile, /e/OS on Fairphone 5 is still on Android 13... npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj yes let me destroy the planet and pay thousands in electricity bill for fake internet money npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj sadly nothing yet, but the room is very very cold, so I hope the home server would improve the situation a bit npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia True reason for self-hosting: to heat a room that is constantly cold npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…6zct for you and I, sure. For a journalist using their phone for work, that's a bit harder to implement npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Just watched this #38c3 talk about commercial spyware on iOS. It's interesting but also in a way useless. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Since Axel Springer bought #Politico, the quality of the Brussels Playbook newsletter went downhill: npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…c5n8 ohhh you've never taken the train on the ferry to Messina, a must! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia New laptop + #38c3 = STICKERS! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Random post-#38c3 thoughts: npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj come usi listenbrain? Sto pensando a come metter su la mia alternativa self-hosted a spotify ma sono un po' smarrito npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Anyone has some pretty #38c3 styled wallpapers? My laptop has the congress blues npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Attention, fediverse! @nprofile…ka48 just redefined privacy. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia The dilemma of #38c3: long hardware hacking sessions, talks about policy and digital rights, learning about new complicated stuff, discussions on relationship anarchy and polyamory, or having tea with friends? npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…hftj cute! Invidia per il modulo ethernet, avrei dovuto prenderne uno per il #38c3 npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Just went through *all* the #38c3 session using optimal-congress https://github.com/top-on/optimal-congress npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…c5n8 meh, the article makes it sound like they're all different companies (Aléop, Zou !, Lio, InOui, Ouigo) whereas it's always SNCF in a trenchcoat. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…c5n8 a better criteria could have been "The website provides a way for users to input origin, destination, and date of the trip". And that would have given SNCF zero points. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…c5n8 @nprofile…p4mx as an Italian, I understand. But it's really great, night trains are awesome, regionals are new and reliable, Intercity is affordable and comfortable, Frecciarossa is top-notch and cheap. The app works, the booking process is smooth, customer service is helpful... npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…c5n8 also, it seems like they're taking into account TGVs only for SNCF, and including slow Intercity for Trenitalia, which is not that fair (and yet Trenitalia wins of course). And they're not considering Trenitalia operations in France or Spain. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…c5n8 anything that criticises Eurostar makes me happy, I think swimming through the Channel is often a better travel choice. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Got an Epson L3S from the 80s, which would be perfect for #retrocomputing at #38c3, but it doesn't turn on sadly! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia The best desk ever is the table on a first class Intercity. There are only three people in this car! #CrossBorderRail npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…p4mx theoretically you could go through Switzerland, it implies French TERs but should be fun. When the Modane tunnel reopens, the best way would be TGV to Lyon and change to Frecciarossa there to avoid Paris. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @nprofile…p4mx I need to compile a thorough guide on how to go from Belgium to Italy by train, avoiding SNCF npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia The highlight of my #CrossBorderRail: the new ÖBB Nightjet to Italy! The mini cabin is simply perfect. I love this. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Cheers to @npub1mlq…qvx3 for asking commissioner designate Virkkunen to talk about stuff "beyond AI and quantum". Let's see if she can cut the crap and avoid buzzwords! npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia Among all the #telegram chaos, today I learned that the supply and import of a "cryptology device" in France must be registered with the national cybersecurity agency. npub18f5y6pkzqrh6lrv7jakgspkal93thsypr8c40c28tcrcj36dpqgqagcwfd Mario Restuccia @npub1jlj…skl3 I planned on doing the same in the summer, but tickets are crazy expensive (plus the route through Paris is not possible during the olympics). Which train will you take south of Salerno?
