Not everything that Newag does is bad.
For instance, I would like to congratulate them on making the shortlist of the European SLAPP Contest 2025!

@navi It was especially 'hilarious' when the Element people were trying to sell their Synapse Proprietary crap and basically saying "if you run a worker setup then you should be using Pro, workers do not work well in community Synapse".
The people who told us years ago that we should run a worker setup on our homeserver and that it wasn't going to work otherwise, dear reader, were... the people running Element
@navi Well, Synapse cannot into multithreading so it's 100% of one core for the main thread specifically right now, but that's usually under 100% because it's a worker setup
@ohno You missed an opportunity to put NFTs in there somewhere!
@navi (Not my server but I can see the metrics)
@navi It's running on a server that's specced highly enough that *usually* it manages to stay under 100% CPU
@domo Well that's the part that sucks, there basically are no credible alternatives (yet, anyway) 😕
Main Synapse process has been stuck consuming 100% CPU for the past 25 minutes 🤡

maybe a weird question but: does anyone have or know of a creative commons (or similarly licensed) electron microscope image of blown and unblown fuses in an SoC? 
It is really quite incredible how bad they have managed to make their implementation of what is nominally a great idea
Ah yes, certainly enjoying Element constantly generating 'notifications' because it is repeatedly failing to send my messages and asking me to retry, because Synapse (also from Element) is a piece of shit that constantly hangs for minutes at a time for no discernible reason, and so I end up spending upwards of 10 minutes constantly getting interrupted by notification icons because none of this shit fucking works, to send like 4 lines of text

Gezamenlijk kunnen wij actie ondernemen voor lagere huren en tegen de wooncrisis. Samen strijden we voor huurverlaging, woonzekerheid, zeggenschap en volkshuisvesting, tegen dakloosheid, slecht onderhoud en malafide huisbazen. https://www.doorbraak.eu/10-mei-utrecht-landelijke-woondemonstratie-huur-omlaag/

De term ‘werkgever’ is misleidend. Het impliceert dat de eigenaar van een bedrijf werk “creëert”, en dat de arbeider, de “werknemer”, dit werk ontvangt. Terwijl: is het niet de arbeider die hun werkt geeft, zodat de ‘werkgever’ met dat werk geld kan verdienen? https://www.doorbraak.eu/middenklasse-deel-i-de-immer-onderdrukte-ondernemer/

in the router lab we ran a few weeks ago I made students fill out paperwork from the INET NCC (a la RIPE NCC) to get their stuff setup
reading the feedback forms a surprising number said they really enjoyed the paperwork
fucking germans istg

I've been saying it as a joke, but I'm now seeing what appear to be genuine sentiments that the "trick" to using "AI" coding assistants is to precisely describe the program you want.
Instant water. Just add water.

Probably a lost cause, but does anyone know where I could borrow screwdrivers in Japan for ~5 minutes?
Someone passing by was watching TikTok on her phone, didn't pay attention to her surroundings, and threw my backpack off the table.
I picked it up and inspected the damage - my laptop's back popped open in multiple places and doesn't power on anymore. Embedded Controller flashes the power button in red (indicating error state), if I plug it into the USB-C power brick and reset the EC (refresh + power), it boots up but doesn't detect the battery.
Hoping that battery just disconnected itself (and other lies you can tell yourself) but I need a fairly precise set of screwdriver (and slice-resistant gloves) to open it and inspect the internals.
Currently heading from Fukuoka to Kumamoto, will be back in Tokyo from March 29th until April 1st (when I'll be heading back home). If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it
