@poppyhaze Getting some solid Warhammer 40k vibes here 👍

@unusnemo I'm curious: which term would you use?
There are a few cm of ice on the Limfjord, and I just saw the most cobbled-together DIY icebreaker ever:
Yes, that's a backhoe. Kudos.
I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER
@gigabecquerel Ooh thanks, that's super timely because I'm _just_ about to rip a(nother) camera apart to do lensless microscopy. The first attempt ruined some bond wires and now that sensor is done for 😭
@irene Agreed, unfortunately. Diversity-wise, it's bad, particularly in CS. 😞
P.S. I did what @burtyb and @pl suggested: a) turned off WiFi power management permanently, and b) put "nice -n 10" in front of my camera cronjob. That seems to have done the trick! Thanks again for your tips.
@irene I'm so sorry - all I can suggest is, come join us in European academia? (Which is certainly not perfect, but at least largely funded by taxes and not random asshole billionaires.)
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. 🤷
