Unpacked some old model railway stuff from my old Märklin and Roco sets after the move. Maybe eventually we'll actually have some space for a very minimal actual working setup (like a bare minimum oval on a smaller table).
In the meanwhile I put the models on […]

Interesting how appearantly IKEA assumes you're working in zero gravity when fastening the seat of the "Markus" chair to backrest… looking at the picture the seat looks to be somehow levitating in the air while you fasten the screws holding it to the backrest […]

I just thought about adding a Mastodon link in my LinkedIn profile (I'm not particularily active there, but maybe it could draw someone to the Fediverse from the silo…). The closest I could find to setting a social media link was the "Instant messaging" options […]

Hi all, it's been a while 😅

Just posting here to let you know that BeaconDB has been down for nearly 20 hours due to what appears to be a fraudulent abuse claim.

Someone has contacted netcup with a few MB of logs that show the IP of BeaconDB's server being used to scan ports. netcup has […]

HJÄLP, BORTSPRUNGEN KATT! Min brors fina fina katt Iris har sprungit bort på ett för henne okänt ställe, och är nu troligen i eller omkring Bredängsparken i Stockholm.

Om någon skulle råka befinna sig i de trakterna får ni gärna hålla utkik efter henne och höra av er om hon syns till.

Now with the latest MOTIS releases we can run pre-processing of GTFS feed data in Transitous.
