Playing 16bit Sonic with the kids... *every* single song is a banger, i'm going to start downloading stuff from ocremix again
My #antweight #battlebot ended up in the middle of the ranking at the Hack&Make Nuremberg. I learned a lot and meet many cool people. My next bot will be more competitive but still unweaponized.
I'm absolutely in love of this trick in Android to improve perceived signal coverage. No need to deal with complex electromagnetic wave propagation or incomprehensible modulations. Just bar=bar+1. https://nickvsnetworking.com/simple-trick-to-increase-coverage-lying-to-users-about-signal-strength/
I learned A LOT on the #dvoc25. AI tech felt omnipresent, it was the topic in many of the sessions.My favorites were about good devOps practices, the tools used for CD/CI, observability and compliance. I also learned many Shell tricks. Special thanks to @oztiram for the private workshop. See you next year!
I'm at the devops camp 25. The sessions have not been presented yet, but I only need to look at the food menu to know this is going to become a fix date in my calendar. Are you around? Drop me a line ^_^ #DVOC25
I visited yesterday the Fablab in Bad Windscheim / Neustadt a.d. Aisch and it was a blast. Thank Roland, Jürgen, Leinhardt for your help with the massive lasercutter #fablabnea #fablab
