To state the obvious, I am no longer active here. This account may be used for one-way posts, but I won't be reviewing replies, DMs, or anything else.
You can find me on Mastodon instead: mastodon.social/@mxmehl
And no, please don't send me invitations to Bluesky etc.

Backing up #Seafile libraries isn't as simple as it should be. "Seafile Mirror" to the rescue! ⛑
Learn more about this new tool and how it solves the various issues the Seafile-native tools have in my blog post:

Am Montag wird großflächig gestreikt. Warum überhaupt, und sind die Forderungen von @_verdi und @DeineEVG gerechtfertigt?
Hier ein richtig guter Überblick von Wirtschaft vor Acht @DasErste:

Great news from @fdroidorg #fdroid! Fetching the recently updated packages has become a lot faster and resource-efficient. 100x less traffic usage traffic than before:

Good for old phones, slow/metered internet & environment. Thanks to everyone involved!

Being sick is bad, missing #FOSDEM because of it is the worst.
Time to check out the feature to block hashtags so I don't burst with envy and get even more frustrated.

We recognize that many of our planets are active in the Rebel Alliance. However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain political affiliations in the Empire.

Es freut mich, dass sich in den letzten zwei Jahren in Sachen #Warntag in 🇩🇪 einiges zum besseren gewendet hat. Noch 2020 wurde auf proprietäre Apps gesetzt, mittlerweile erhalten viele #CellBroadcast.
Warum das besser ist, habe ich damals analysiert: fsfe.org/news/2020/news-2020…

#Warntag hat bei mir funktioniert (2 Telefone, 4 SIM-Karten).
#CellBroadcasts sind einfach eine feine Sache!

If at least one of these words amazes you, you should check out the CfP for the "Railways and Open Transport Devroom" at FOSDEM:

Deadline is this Saturday, 10 December, so be quick as a (undelayed) highspeed train 🚅.

It feels like 50% of the tweets here are about commenting the slow death of this site. If you look for conversations that actually matter, join #Mastodon.

Gentle reminder for everyone going to #FOSDEM to book their accommodation soon. Devrooms have been announced and prices tended to explode around this time of the year in pre-Covid times.
That said, I can't wait to experience this awesomeness again 🚀

Oh, and if your favourite hotel seems to be fully booked already, it could also be that they just haven't made them open for booking yet (example: Motel One). Just ask them if you want to confirm.

Danke, liebes Hotelzimmer, dass du mich persönlich begrüßt, auch wenn du bei meinem Namen irgendwie verwirrt bist.
(Wobei, hänge noch ein e an, dann fühle ich mich wieder geehrt #atthemoxy)

What a coincidence 🤯 I just happened to watch a #Seinfeld episode covering #abortion. In one scene a man says that "some day we gonna get enough people on the Supreme Court to change that law". Almost 30 years after it first aired this really happened :(

Ich hab gehört, "success stories" seien im Trend. Hier ist eine, die zeigt, dass auch die öffentliche Verwaltung sehr innovativ sein kann, und dabei etwas Gutes für ihre Bürgerinnen und Bürger erreicht 🚀

Hey @github, it's great that you started to display correctly if a repository has multiple licenses. But why don't you support the LICENSES directory, a quite common place to store licenses in? github.blog/changelog/2022-0…
