Was in the mood for some mindless action and watched a few episodes of "SEAL Team" ... but the theme of "All-American Heroes shooting Evil Brown People" was just a bit too persistent.
Particularly annoying: on the one occasion where our heroes _appear_ to shoot an innocent bystander, it turns out that person was the wanted terrorist all along. Moral dilemma conveniently averted. ✅

Grrrr. Just spent over an hour while trying to get OpenStack to give my VM a public IP address. This has worked before, but I'm absolutely hitting my head against the wall right now, always getting some sort of "network not reachable" error for any combination of internal network and public IP. 😵

Don't tell anyone, but I just removed a particularly stubborn clog in the office 3D printer by ramming a 3 mm screwdriver down the nozzle 🫣
There, I fixed it.

@me_ @regehr It's also undergrads, and yes, they generally do a very good job as well 👍

P.S. The "decentralization" part in the description seems to have resurrected some blockchain zombies 🧟 Please be advised that cryptocurrencies are definitely _not_ within the scope of this project 😉

@me_ @regehr Indirectly, a funding problem - at AAU, you automatically get funding for a TA when your course has > 50 registered students, but mine has 48. 😑 And my new grant only starts in April, so I just happened to fall into a stupid little funding gap. 🤷

@regehr didn't get a TA this semester 😭 however, that just means it's good advice for myself 😁👍

@VeryBadLlama (not to forget my native Germany, which is basically the poster child for #3. If you ever hear someone sing the first stanza, you have without any shred of doubt found a Nazi.)

@VeryBadLlama Denmark has two national anthems, and they're #1 and #2, respectively. 🤷

@yschaeff QR codes can do up to ~3 kB with error correction. You know what you need to do 😁

I _just_ realised that the Danish word for vegetables ("grøntsager") literally just means "green stuff". The local teenager agrees 🤷

@jpakkane This. I've described it as "CEO cosplay" before. 🤷

@MLE_online 😁😉

@besendorf Mein innerer Ingenieur fragt sich jetzt, wie sie das so kalibriert haben, dass das Teil nicht 50% der Zeit an der Backofendecke klebt oder sonst irgendwie rohrkrepiert... 🤔

@nextcloud Margaret Hamilton comes to mind!

Wife asked me if I can relate.
*checks mirror*
Accurate 🥱🥴🤷

@cybeardjm very much Blargh 😬

For my mobile development course, I'm trying to steer people away from just using Firebase for everything and towards a selfhosted solution (obviously 😉). Last year, I used Pocketbase, because it's just a single drop-in executable and has good Flutter support, and that seemed to work reasonably well, but I'm curious if people have any alternative suggestions? Keep in mind that the students are still relatively early in their bachelor's degree and not very experienced.
