Were there any controversies about furry.engineer? I seem to recall something, but not sure. Because it seems like a good instance. And do they mind the occasional German post?
The perpetual lack of good emotes on this instance and the fact that I barely use the local timeline anymore anyway really makes me think if moving instances would be a good option now
My network seems slow today, so I decided I'd reboot the Vodafone shitbox router to see if that would help. I tried logging in to the web interface and... nothing. No reaction. The console shows uncaught errors...? Did they push an update that caused the slowdown and the weird login fail? Did something crash? Strange...
Wanted to export all my Telegram chat data, motivated by the recent news. So you would expect that this works like with most services - you request your data, they compile an archive server-side and send you a link a while later. Nope! It all goes client-side via the Telegram client.
I tried exporting all my chats including media first, but that just got slower and slower with each file, until it just got stuck on a 61 kB photo over night.
Fun fact: Every once in a while, you'll see a little pot on top of the tram overhead wire. This is where the power is being cooked by specialised high-voltage gremlins!
I love using a DLL in C# and then finding out it apparently uses global states internally. Wanted to instantiate two CAN connections, but if I then try to close the second one after closing the first one, I get a nice memory access violation 🙃
I saw a rail replacement bus this weekend that had an actual "SEV" (rail replacement) livery. So either they had a some long-time construction work going on that warranted this effort, or they actually need to do rail replacement often enough that this is worth doing lmao
