Falsehoods programmers believe about multilingualism:

• Your “mother” language is the one you read books in

• Your preferred reading language is the primary language of your country of residence

• Your primary reading language is one of the official languages of your country

• You write in one language

• You produce texts only in one language

For some reason I am actually preparing for #38c3. Got a “new” DECT with a proper battery and Bluetooth, so had to get some BT headphones. Also retrieved the AS5350XM from storage to see if I can prepare it to act as a modem bank for @c3isdn, possibly.

Classic end to a @hack42 open day. Messing around with old computers trying to make networking functional again. This time, remote login to #VMS from a Rainbow terminal.

The longest street name in the Netherlands is actually for a fietspad. The “Laan van de landinrichtingscommissie Duiven-Westervoort” has a street sign that’s longer than the fietspad is wide. https://www.overstraatnamen.nl/2019/12/bord-voor-de-langste-straatnaam.html

As usual no thunderstorms at all here. I think the last time I was able to take some good pictures of a typical summer’s evening thunderstorm is about 10 years ago. And I haven’t moved house… Really strange. It used to be a yearly occurrence. I had Lightroom open earlier this week and it’s so noticeable.
