"hey why don't we use jitsi for this"

"hmmm, zoom is easier though"

"jitsi is actually a lot easier, you don't need a client and it's technically better in every way than zoom"

"hmm but, zoom..."

Frage an alle Impfgegner:
Wie gefällt euch die Demoversion von Welt ohne Impfstoff bisher so?

#covid19 und der fehlende Impfstoff

nothing like that first 300 cups of coffee in the morning

my first impressions of the #WirvsVirus hackathon:

* it's scary that ethics doesn't play a huge role in the majority of projects
-> many participants consider to code software that tracks people being infected/that traces infection routes/that shows areas with the highest infection rate (I don't want to see software that tracks people based on illnesses like ever... that just feels icky and messed up and fucking dangerous)
* there's a majority of "let's throw tech at a social problem that cannot be solved with tech but we're doing it anyways" folks
* there's barely a discussion on security (like when you're working with data that includes the health status of someone or, on a more basic level, any personal, non-public, data... that should be a top priority!)
* Makers DIYing critical medical infrastructure without including the safety standards into their scope. "Hold on, have to debug my Arduino" is an appropriate sentence for LED strips, not for vital stuff like respirators.

Hey, team lead for the #XMPP Standards Foundation infrastructure team here.

The server that handles XSF web (xmpp.org, wiki.xmpp.org, xmpp.net) and chatrooms (muc.xmpp.org) went down early on 2020-03-20. The cause is currently unknown, we are awaiting a response from the hosting provider.

Meanwhile we have already restored wiki.xmpp.org onto a new server from our latest nightly backups, and other services will follow as soon as possible.

Please be kind to everyone in these difficult and disruptive times!

An unserem Institut kann nicht jede Person einen Citrix Zugang bekommen weil es nicht genug Citrix Lizenzen gibt. Toll oder? Mit Apache Guacamole wäre das nicht passiert. Aber ja. Große Behörden finden ja teuere und vermurkste Software geil. 💁

Wir haben da mal gebastelt. Im #CERT ist eine Linksammlung mit brauchbaren, sauberen Quellen zu #covid19 entstanden. Und die liebe cwoomio
hat das mal public-lesbar gemacht.

#fernunterricht Bitte jetzt nicht auf amerikanische, proprietäre Lösungen zurück greifen. Wir haben so viel Zeit. RKI spricht schon von bis zu 2 Jahren. Experimentieren macht Spaß.

Weil Tipps fürs #homeoffice ja jetzt noch hilfreicher sind, hier mal was, was ich schon vor einiger Zeit zu meinem verwendeten Equipment geschrieben habe:

https://bkastl.de/notes/used-but-good

here's a graph from my switch at home, showing storage traffic for my virtualization setup. there's about 20 Linux VMs running on the connected hosts with active applications on them, including stuff like databases.

There's some erratic activity right at the start (when I tore down my proxmox cluster and replaced it with this one)

The real question is: can you spot the two times where i fired up a single windows 10 VM, which sat on its desktop doing absolutely nothing
