“A Eulogy for DevOps”

> In practice I "discovered" that if NPM was down nothing worked and the frontend team "discovered" that troubleshooting Kubernetes was a bit like Warhammer 40k Adeptus Mechanicus waving incense in front of machines they didn't understand in the hopes that it would make the problem go away.

We've built systems nobody understands that hang together on a thread and a prayer.

Interesting talk by Karin Bredenberg on »XML preserved from the past and into the future or?« – »I said validate your XML-documents!« is also an instructive picture for my students. 😎 #XMLPrague

#XMLPrague will be streamed on Friday and Saturday. Watch http://xmlprague.cz home page or https://youtube.com/@XMLPrague/streams

Update: Thank you to everyone who has boosted this. A wonderful person has agreed to take in the flock! ​ I sincerely appreciate everyone who boosted or replied, these lovely birds will have a new home to enjoy their retirement in. ​

Original post:

I find myself unfortunately in need of help finding a home for my flock of chickens. I'm moving from a small rural farm to a house in the city, and the arrangements I had previously made for the birds have fallen though.

The chickens are in the US in Virginia, and so I'm looking for anyone in any nearby state (including West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Delaware, or even Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky) who could take them in. Basically anywhere I can reasonably drive them.

There are nine hens and a rooster, and they are all 8-11 years old, well past prime laying age. They need a place where they can live out their lives in safety and comfort. One of the hens is blind but has been blind for many years now and is fine as long as she has a roost bar to perch on with nearby food and water.

I am absolutely willing to pay for their feed and care, and I could even pay for and/or personally construct a coop/run for them to live in.

I've tried contacting nearby rescue organizations but the only one who is even accepting chickens has room for just a few of the hens.

Zu diesem Anlass zeigen wir ein Werbegeschenk, das wir auf der (Frankfurter) Buchmesse 2010 ausgereicht haben: Einen Kalender von 2049 (zufällig hat 2049 die gleichen Wochentage wie 2010) unter dem Motto „50 Jahre le-tex“.

Hat vielleicht noch jemand eine MOS 8501 CPU für den #Commodore #C16 über? Die hier wurde vom Vorgänger bei einem Reparaturversuch falsch herum auf den Sockel gesteckt und ist dabei gestorben. Das Gerät soll weiter leben.

@ndw So this turns out to be a lie:

“There are no plans to stop supporting local library shares. The functionality to add/remove shares won't be available in the new Sonos app for now, but will be added with a future update. In the meantime the desktop controller for Win/Mac can be used to add/remove shares. Shares that are added to a system can be played from the new Sonos App.”

Relaunch des FID Romanistik: Neugestaltung von Portal, Discovery und Blog

Mitte April haben wir unseren Webauftritt neu gestaltet. Die Nutzer:innen des FID werden es längst bemerkt haben: sowohl die Portalseiten, als auch das Discovery (unser Suchsystem), sowie das Romanistik-Blog haben ein Redesign erfahren. Im Hintergrund wurden aber nicht nur Farben, Formen und Texte angepasst, sondern auch die Software auf neueste Versionen geupdatet. Unser Discovery basiert jetzt…

Thx! Maya has been found!

The strangest thing happened.
I just opened a bag I have stored in my attic, and while it looks like my stuff from the outside, it’s NOT MINE!
Some stickers inside have a #36c3 Design, dating the bag to 2019.
There are valuable and personal items in there. So far the Person might be called Maya and all stickers and notes are English, French and Swedish. The person must have been in Stuttgart before Congress.
Please help me #FindMaya!
