It feels almost bizarre to say, but at the end of this year almost all fossil fuel vehicles will have been eliminated from public transport in the four largest cities of the Netherlands. I remember when the large scale electrification of the bus vehicle fleet first started at the end of 2016, and that isn't even ten years ago!

Bumping this because I've once again come across Breadchain Cooperative in the wild. This is a reminder that it's not a cooperative because it operates on "one share/one vote" not "one member/one vote." It is a redwashing of a perfectly ordinary blockchain grift.

The trial period with the eCitaro at 
is going better than planned, starting Monday the eCitaro vehicles can be seen on all bus lines. This will also mean HTM is finally starting to retire the old CNG buses from 2009-2011 (these are considered old for Dutch standards).
From Monday 3 March, the articulated eCitaro will also be put on trial on line 24.

remixed WW2 propaganda, USpol, Elon's punchable face
dying at how well this person captured Elon's fist-magnet of a facial expression

you can probably hire better devs by going "pspspspsps" than you can with most of the job ads I see

Incredibly, the National Cyber Security Centre have added my http://tla20xx.org Dutch hacker-camp redirect domain to the malware blocklist, so nobody working in a government department can access it

Tipp für Journalisten: Bevor du etwas über Züge schreibst, frage vielleicht jemanden, der sich mit Eisenbahnen auskennt, um einen Kommentar. So verhinderst du vielleicht, dass dein Artikel zwischen PR-Geschwafel und völligem Mist landet.

Alright, I should now have daily automated client-encrypted backups of all* my servers to two locations, one in the US and one in the Netherlands.
* except the 'workbot' server, which is a dedicated server that only handles high-resource workloads on ephemeral bulk data, like the seekseek crawler backend, and is not allowed to contain any critical data to begin with

it's been a year and I still hate the almost imperceptably pink gradient on the end of the youtube playback progress bar. so ugly.
I do have to say, I'm not impressed with Nix using an assert to check protocol compatibility for nix-copy-closure, leading to it just coredumping without a useful error message if you try to copy to a too-old #NixOS installation...
We have made it to 24.11, that's 7 years worth of #NixOS releases! Albeit with a detour through 4 intermediate releases.
It's about the journey, not the destination?
The system still boots fine, too!
Well, through 23.05 we go.
For some reason, I feel like this upgrade process could be improved. #NixOS
Another detour through 21.11. Can I install 24.11 now?

@joepie91 wait, the proper way to keep my Nix updated is not to leave those warnings be warnings until they've become hard errors?

Also I am basically playing a game of "how many soft-deprecated option warnings can I collect before Nix decides that it's had enough and I must fix these options *right now*"
