tech diy question, boosts welcome, context 

@dysphoricunicorn This would probably be a good place to start: media.ccc.de/v/gpn18-95-howto- / hackaday.io/project/161891-tra -- I believe a lot of driving objects at CCC events are based off this approach

tech diy question, boosts welcome 

People who are building fun things to ride on during events: do you have any tips on where to get started?

After seeing people have tons of fun with home built vehicles at #gpn20 I really want to make my own.

I already have a rough design planned out but I'm wondering where I could source the parts cheaply.
I've seen lots of vehicles built from these "hoverboard" things but those still seem a bit expensive, at least on eBay.

Packing for our first trip in several years and of course we found a dead bug in the suitcase.

@schratze Honestly the reasons I switched away from XFCE weren't the UI; but the constant Unicode-related crashes and the lack of cohesive integration with stuff like MPRIS or Bluetooth... the UI itself was pretty nice

UI design opinions 

@schratze @kescher @AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe Honestly my ideal UI design wouldn't be far removed from this; some improvements to better handle complex controls in particular, but otherwise...

taking the post at face value 

@kescher @schratze @AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe I raise you

@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Yep, seen that pop up in quite a few places lately, it's a good development :) Though it's not *quite* enough for what I'm describing - because that also requires eg. multi-purpose zoning so that facilities *can* be close to residential buildings

@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (And yes this requires significantly different city design, but honestly you're already 80% of the way there by just not designing your city around cars)

@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Honestly I feel like this (like so many comments about public transport) still focuses too much on alternate *vehicles*. The baseline should be that most trips don't require *any* sort of additional motorized vehicle because they can be made entirely via sidewalk/bikepath. Whether on foot, in a wheelchair, on a bike... and then (accessible) public transport should be a reliable addition for the cases where that isn't possible.

Nice, my scraping framework thingem now has proper configuration validation
