so far biggest difference i can tell between the air fun 4 and the tozo nc3 is uh

the air funs have better ux, and the pass-through is a little nicer.

the gap between top and bottom end bluetooths is really short these days.

in reply to Q.U.I.N.N.

the ladder is basically garbage (poor sound, servicable if desperate), good enough, and good enough with some minor niceties

Interview: How the legacies of empire continue to shape politics today.

Mahmood Mamdani on what Zohran’s rise says about politics in the US.

He talks about exile from Uganda, Idi Amin, & how colonial rule shaped Uganda’s political institutions & the leaders who emerged from them.

Under the hood update!

I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.

So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.


  • It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.
  • If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.

Bonjour les mastonautes,

Je souhaite utiliser une guitare sous CachyOS (Arch Linux) via QjackCtl + Guitarix.

Je fais parvenir le son jusqu'à Guitarix mais impossible de le renvoyer sur le système, il n'y a pas d'entrée "system playback_1" dans QjackCtl :(

Avez-vous une idée ?

As Andrew Rawnsley (Observer) points out, the UK finds itself with a European-like increasingly fragmented polity (with a range of political parties all gaining support), but an electoral system that punishes exactly this sort of fragmentation.

He argues electoral pacts are the likely strategic answer (however unlikely they may seem right now);

but of course in the longer term what is *really* required is electoral reform to match the character of our politics!

Getting anyone to agree to an electoral pact in public seems out of the question at the moment.

But things do happen on the quiet in by-elections. I recall one where there were Labour party members in and out of the Lib Dem campaign HQ, helping successfully to defect the Tory whilst loudly announcing (helping themselves to the cake - there's always cake in a Lib Dem by-election HQ) "I'm not Lib Dem". And one Thursday when there were several Tory seats up for by-election: Labour didn't campaign in some (though they did put up paper candidates) and Lib Dems didn't campaign in the others (though they did put up paper candidates) - the electorate in those constituencies got the message OK and voted the Tories out in all of them.

Yes, and of course in the early stages, any negotiations are better kept out of the glare of publicity (and that's not just for electoral pacts)



Weer een stukje wijzer over databases. Het opslaan van timestamps doe je het beste in "datetime" of andere datum- en tijdformaten maar ik werk binnen de applicaties die ik schrijf liever met de unix epoch. Van het ene naar het andere formaat omrekenen ging me niet altijd even soepel af dus ik heb soms de epoch in de database opgeslagen om daar omheen te werken. Net geleerd dat je de conversie bij het ophalen helemaal aan MySQL over kunt laten met: SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`aankomsttijd`) from......
in reply to Jurjen Heeck 🍋

Mkee. Al verder puzzelende ben ik helemaal van deze datumconversie naar epoch afgestapt, waarom zou ik in de applicatiecode iets gaan doen wat de database ook kan? De locale goed zetten en de database alle datums en tijden in het gewenste formaat op laten hoesten met de DATE_FORMAT functie van MySQL scheelt een hoop gepiel achteraf en maakt de applicatiecode gelijk een stuk overzichtelijker.
in reply to Jurjen Heeck 🍋

Ik maak een rommeltje van mijn datumtijdsformaten. Komt omdat ik een Redis database heb en daar heb ik alles als string. Gelukkig zijn in de meeste programmeertalen datefuncties flexibel.
En ja , locale dat is belangrijk.

Palestinians have the right to stay in their own land: Qatar’s PM

When asked why Qatar would help pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, which has been destroyed by a country which also bombed Qatar, Qatar’s PM said there are double standards at play because if “you say that Israel has a responsibility to rebuild what it has destroyed, they will tell you, no”.

“As a region, you have the responsibility to do so,” he said, adding that Qatar “will continue supporting the Palestinian people… we will do whatever to elevate their suffering”.

He said that Palestinians in Gaza should not be forced to leave their homeland, adding, “they have all the right to stay and live there.”

I might need to go back to blogging, or at least long form writings.

I no longer enjoy reactive writings they tend to be about something that winds me up.

Recently read a few substack articles and I quite enjoyed them; they are mostly professional journalists, however.
