I found a proper alternative for #Doodle: #Framadate hosted by @Framasoft . In some sense it is superior than Doodle as it shows a chart of all votes and also the "best choice" below the poll.

Apollo 11 vs USB-C Chargers

Almost home from a very busy NeIC all hands meeting, the one time per year we all meet up in our distributed organization. Much time spent in groups, but also a bit away from the conference rooms:

Important poll, please boost (unless it's already completed).
In Go, the standard library "flag" module has single-dash flags.
Like so:
-flag=value -otherflag othervalue -bool -otherbool=false
Do you prefer that to GNU-style --flag=value and shorthands -f value?
Or do you prefer GNU-style?
If you had the FREE CHOICE (both implementations are simple and easy to understand, and had no real advantages or disadvantages besides this ux), which would you choose?

Went skating on the river under the full moon. Very nice experience.

perusing the Fedco seed catalog and found the 4 freedoms for free software repurposed for seeds!
"OSSI (Open Source Seed Initiative) opposes intellectual property (IP) provisions
that restrict what OSSI has identified as the four seed freedoms:
1. The freedom to save or grow seed for replanting or any other purpose.
2. The freedom to share, trade, or sell seed to others.
3. The freedom to trial and study seed and to share or publish information about it.
4. The freedom to select or adapt the seed, make crosses with it, or use it to breed new lines and varieties."
love it!

This LED charger cable ignores some physics laws: "The speed of light decreases with increasing battery charge and stops when fully charged."
Hey, sometime this winter break, I'm planning to reinstall the OS for this mastodon instance. Will likely lead to a few hours of downtime, but no data should be lost.
Any opinions on when would be inconvenient?

We moved our company from Slack to self-hosted Rocket.chat. Better information hygiene (data on our own server), lots cheaper, yet the same experience using it.

Cool, didn't know the Copenhagen airport signs ran Debian. Probably because they don't fail very often.

Openstreetmap is reaching the point that it is just more information rich and beautiful than google maps and that is awesome
And now up on 3.0.1!
Hm. Maybe time for some upgrading of the ACC instances.
Please enjoy a short downtime and then a new mastodon experience in a few minutes.
