Proposal for a new regulation, dear @European Commission. When a digital service like Apple iCould, Google, Facebook etc decide to block or delete your account, they MUST give you a way for a limited time (I'd propose 6 months) to download all data/files they have stored under that account. You should be able to access it using the last known credentials. AFTER a full download has occurred, the account may be finally deleted. I am sure it needs more refinement, but the principle should be established.

Google, iCloud etc. are copystores that take your content and give you a limited license back to access "your" content. Nothing copied there should count as backup, in my opinion. When Google or Apple decide to block/delete your account, you lose access and learn the hard way that it never was your data to begin with. Store locally. Use cloud services for convenience (I do too), but keep your backups physically close. Yes, it's a bit more work but it is so, so worth it.

Throwback to January 2023 where we Red Hatters visited Dublin. #LifeAtRedHat (Yes, that's the same glitzy jacket I wore at our Munich Office Christmas party this week, hence the throwback :)

#Technologieoffenheit sollte auch bedeuten, dass jeder digitale Dienst, egal ob staatlich oder kommerziell, auch vollständig über einen Standardbrowser erreichbar und ohne funktionale Einschränkungen benutzbar ist. Kein #AppZwang. Basta.

#Oops "Die Regelungen des CLOUD-Acts stellen klar, dass einem Herausgabeverlangen von US-Strafverfolgungsbehörden auch dann Folge zu leisten ist, wenn die Daten auf einem Server außerhalb der USA gespechert sind. Dies ist auch der Fall, wenn der Server durch eine europäische Tochtergesellschaft eine US-Konzerns betrieben wird, soweit das US-Unternehmen eine Herausgabe der Daten bei der Toch- tergesellschaft veranlassen kann."

So Marco Rubio has banned Calibri as being "too DEI" and demands a move back to Times New Roman. Which was designed by Stanley Morison. Who "On the imposition of conscription in 1916 during First World War, [...] was a conscientious objector, and was imprisoned." [1] I guess that's the kind of hero the US now wants to promote? I'm all for that :) [1]

Thank you, @npub12r32...zz58 team! With the forgejo runner v12.1.0 my blog now builds in around 30 seconds. That includes fetching the git tree, starting Jekyll in a container, fetching the needed ruby gems, building the site and committing the new static pages to another git repo that gets deployed on my web server. (and this runs on my own machine in my homelab, so I pay the electricity etc).

Added a little badge to my blog at

to indicate that I write everything myself without "AI" assistance. (and also: no cookies, no trackers, no google fonts, everything served straight from my server that doesn't even store log files for the web server) The badge is a 12.5KB SVG file that you can download and use for yourself. Based on

Da fast alle in Deutschland mittlerweile auf Wärmepumpen umgestiegen sind, können wir es uns auch locker leisten, dass die Gasreserven am 02.12 mit 66% auf dem gleichen, niedrigen Stand wie am 17.01. sind und weit unter dem Mehrjahresdurchschnitt liegen. Ist natürlich quatsch. Man erlebt hier schlicht das Versagen der neuen Wirtschaftsministerin, die unsere Versorgungssicherheit riskiert.
